My agent is charging 70k for baby's ticket on united Airlines. Pls does any one hv idea of baggage allowance for baby and for me.

my baby's ticket was more than this.
You're entitled to two free checked in 50lb/23kg bags, one carry on/ hand luggage and one personal bag ( e.g hand bag or laptop bag. I had both though.)
Baby is entitled to one free checked in 50lb/23kg bag, one car seat and stoller, and one diaper bag.

Then I got to 10 cm. Time to push.. Was told 3 sessions of push in one contraction. Push for 10 sec take a deep breath and then push 10 sec again etc
By the 3rd or 4th contraction. Baby was out. 3.93kg no episiotomy. But Hmmmm there was cord around the neck issue, God delivered us, there was meconium ish, God delivered us,

Baby fine, daddy fine, mother fine.
I serve a living GOD. You can't imagine how excited I am. God is great

Hydrocortisone is a steriod. It may have thinned her skin a bit. Try adding oil (olive oil perhaps) to her bath water daily then using olive or Coconut oil as her moisturizer. A lot of baby lotions and creams are not as emollient as possible. Add the olive oil to her bathwater, then Aveeno cream followed by more olive oil on the worst scaly parts. It sounds like overkill but should work. Avoid Baby oil, it's usually just mineral oil that does nothing and worsen a situation. What soap are you using, why not try Aveeno creamy wash as well?

So, Aveeno creamy wash+olive oil in bathwater, followed by Aveeno Eczema lotion+ a layer of olive oil on top. Don't worry, she won't sweat, olive oil will be absorbed into her skin and has many lovely healing properties (but don't use baby oil, that will sit on the surface of her skin, make her greasy and probably make things worse). HTH.

Thanks so much dear, you're the best. I will try all these. I use aveeno wash too.

I cant claim frequent flyer but I've flown a few airlines & TA is the "worstest"

@ beryl15,

The airport reference is neks not you.

Choi!!! Do you realize what you have just done? I kept reading my post and wondering...

modath:
You are very correct.. It's the reference to it as a small airport that I'm dispelling..

The turks are not nice to black people! At all, meanwhile our people go there to buy corporate clothes so it isn't like black people are aliens they don't come into contact with.

I still don't get how they could be so unfriendly!b!!

Ok, I for say. Well I don't see myself flying Turkish airlines anytime soon. God pass them.
I never said the airport was small though. Lemme go and edit my post

SMH...bia modat come and explain all this coding you and firstymum are doing.

modath:
& we both know Ataturk airport & Small should never ever be used in the same sentence.... The 4th busiest airport in the whole of europe ooo... Make I hold my peace abi firsty ?

I'm not going to argue that..I know. I meant the lounge or whatever they call the place has beds the same size as those sec sch students bed.

Pls mamas my baby has eczema, we saw the pediatrician and was asked to use hydrocortisone cream, the rash is gone now but her skin is still very dry and scaly. What baby moisturizing creams can I use?
I'm currently using aveeno baby eczema therapy and I'm not seeing any sig improvement.

stadora:

Thanks 4 ur response

For me gripe water does it..works like magic.

modath:
They speak ok English, they can communicate effectively & the plane wasn't bad, they just are not friendly people... Attached is a pix of the ORD plane..

Very true..I remember when we flew them, had a 23hour stop over and apparently they have a lounge where you can wait( the sleep area get some kin small small beds there)
No body said a word to us about it even when we asked if they had such..last last Na we find the place by our self after sitting for 6hours at the airport. The most painful part was it was just around the corner..mitchew


I doubt if Bbiz would show her face here again, just yesterday I read all her post and just knew..the Good Samaritan

Mitl:
I finally had the scan on the breast today. And the result was breast abscess. FNAC suggested. Please who can throw more light on this. Thanks

Breast abscess is a infection of the breast tissue.( either from blocked milk ducts or bacterial entering the Breast). It's usually as a result of mastitis ( swelling of the breast).
I've had mastitis twice since I gave birth and both times It went on its own after a few days but I had to take Tylenol for the pain.
Pls see your Dr, you'll might be given antibiotics for it or have it drained if it doesn't get better...

They almost stole my lil princess today insid bus,when we were headin to onitsha main market to buy stuffs.i boarded a roadside bus.mehn my body just dey shake.Please help me praise God for thwartin their plans.

Oh God! Thank God for his mercies o!
I don't even know what to write.

@Nita2013...2-3 hours for an EBF baby is too long especially since she stools after each feed.

@missmalachi...firsttymum has answered you but if it bothers you so much take her to see the pediatrician.( my friends baby had the same issue and even when she started solids still pooped 2-3x a day)
Kisses to your LO.

Mitl:
Thank you very much. We have been trying on the latching now. The engorged breast is now so engorged that the nipples are flat and dry and no milk is dripping like it used to. I was told by the doctor to go for a scan. I pray it gets better.

Have you tried hand expressing? ( you'll need to try for at least 2min before you conclude nothing is coming out. Apply warm compress and you can bath with really warm water. You need to either express or continue feeding your LO. It's well with you.
Are you having fever or chills?

Mitl:
Hello mums. I'm a FTM to a 2weeks old baby. First of all ihave flat nipples. Which has made it difficult for him to latch well for breastfeeding. Also, my right breast is engorged and idunno what to do. Please anyone with this kinda experience. Please advice on what to do. Thank you.

For the breast engorgement continue to breastfeed your LO and apply warm compress before each feed...I understand you pain with the nipples thingy, the key is ensuring that your nipple and a good portion of the areola enters the baby's mouth.
It's what worked for me and over time I noticed nipples came out (at least they were better than before)
Other sabi mamas go help.

nggie:
@Beryl15, pls how much is the tummy belt. My DS is 4 months+ and my tummy is still bulging (had him thru CS) just tired of people asking me if I didn't tie my tummy. Hope its not too late to start o. Secondly, has any mama used Moju powder for her lo to clear heat rash cos my DS has some on his fore head or if there anyone wit any suggestion on what to use. Thanks n God bless our LOs.

Yes it's still going to work, they actually recommend wearing within 6 months postpartum. It ranges from 15k to 31k depending on your delivery type and body shape.

Just go through, follow the sizing guide to know which one works for you.
You can call to find out if the pull-up would work for you too.

Congrats to mamas who have had their LO's & POE success stories.
God bless you all.

Cuteaidomo:
Thanks so much beryl 15. Pls where did u get d crib bumper?

I didn't buy from here so I have no idea really. But I'm sure you'll get in a shop that sells crib accessories...or like a mama said you can DIY.

brokewaist:
Please has anyone flown Qatar airways to US while 32+ wks pregnant. Omo they are the only airline I am seeing with reasonable price. Please mamas share o before your fellow sist go enter one chance because of cheap article

Don't even try it if you're going to be 33+weeks at the time of travel. I had a horrible experience with them.

Cuteaidomo:
Good day to all the mamas in the house and congrats to all the new mums. Please I need some advice Fromm experienced mums oooo. Trying to shop for my baby's crib. Pls which is advisable? The wooden baby crib or the play pen? Someone said the wooden crib is not safe cos it's not as deep as the playpen and so there's tendency of toddler climbing out eventually and also the baby hitting their head on the wooden crib Don't know how true this is..... Pls experienced mums should help a first timer out oooooo. Thanks all.

You can buy a crib bumper to avoid this.
Personally I prefer the wooden crib or you can do both.

shndy:
Oh really, how much and where did u get it?

mubzay:

Product review!!!
U don't know if it's allowed here but my Able mamas has anyone here used BELLEFIT postpartum girdle?

I used it & my belly is back to its pre pregnancy state it's been 9weeks I had my LO ( I can't post pictures o!, but wish I could) just thought I should share.
They have girdles For both CS and Vag delivery mamas.
It's a bit pricy but worth every cent I spent.
Tying the belly is a must for every mom and I wish I did after my first but glad I did this time...
I recommend it 100%
I don't work for BELLEFIT oooo!!!
I'm just been nice

Good day mama in d house,had issue bothering me.got pregnant last year n had d baby thru CS n my baby is 7month plus . Want to know wen it's safe to conceive n give birth normal cos I don't want to go thru pain again.

My dear if you're going to try for a successful VBAC then it's best you wait till your baby is 18months or 2years or more sef before conceiving again.
Find a Dr who does VBAC, he/she would be in a better position to advice you.
Other sabi mamas go answer you too.
