Really? At this point i want to know the requirement that has to be met for child birth cos i serched online and got an hospital, westhouston medical center and paid $3,000 dollars also paid part of the dr fees and my account was well funded and yet the VO said you guys have really tried but am denying u visa. having presented to him all the correspondences from both the dr and the hospital. So what are the requirements for child birth pls i want to know. we are currently planning to apply for visiting visa both my me and my wife and our baby the later apply for child birth so we need to fortify ourselves with necessary requirements to face the VO

Giving my baby pap n cereal is war but she loves normal adult food,so I prepare to her texture e.g she loves potato ,carrot and chicken cooked and mashed together, swallow(amala,plantain n rice flour) with crayfish fortified ewedu/okro, Apple and banana puree mixed or separate,avocado,egg york,beans(without back) n basically anything... so u can try normal adult food just blend/mash for her age.

OloriAbefe:
Afternoon house.
Pls, I need suggestions as what to be giving my lo.
She is 7month now, but all she takes is pap. Just PAP.
I tried mixing the pap with nan2, but I just wasted my money, lo refused it .
I was advised to give cerelac, lo didn't take it either, in fact she vomitted the all her stomach yesterday.
I gave her custard, she took it a lil, she really do not like it as much as pap.
I really wanna start giving her varieties but I'm short of options.
What is notice is DT creamy food irritates her somehow (I might be wrong), but the face she makes anytime I mix baby milk with her pap or custard is like YUCK! .
I would have tried tom-brown for her, but we don't take "JERO" ( I don't know if it's millet or guineacorn) in our house.
Pls house, I need ideas abt what and what to grind together to start feeding her with that won't include "jero" and will Also give her all the vitamins she needs.
And I just got a juicer, what kinda fruit juice should I start giving her and how often should I start juicing fruits for her.
Thanks.

It's perfectly normal, my baby is 7+months n it Still happens to me...best solution is to get breastpad(disposable or reusable) n alwysss wear . ..I still wear mine evrydy even at night too sef else it's inside breastmilk I go sleep..

myrygurl:
So we are 3months+ already, I thought this should have regulate by now...From all indication I don't see that coming..Mayb until some maamas here provide good solution to my predicament (I pray).
The issue is anytime am breastfeeding lo from one side I will just feel one kind of sensation the next thing the other side will start leaking... I can't confidently breastfeed when am on an outing without looking for how I will try and use a bottle or towel to collect from the other side..I do see maamas breastfeeding confidently..They will just flip it out and feed lo..But me I have to arrange something to absorb if not once she put her mouth the next thing I will start having that sensation that leads to leaking... I don't know if its a problem am facing..

Ur solutions is highly welcomed.. tnx

Yeaa I have thermometer at home,came to greet my aunt for some days ni....will go out to get one today to monitor her...Thankss

Prettyhurts:
Thermometer was among my hospital list and they sang it in our ears to have it at home. You can't know the accurate temp by touching, She may still be running temp or may not. Buy the thermometer (bought mine for 400 last year), check her temperature again in the afternoon and compare it with night own(if is above 37 please see her paed).
Please continue administering the para every 4-6hrs and don't over dress her.

There's this old wives tale that running temperature at night is malaria

Mornin mamas ...please has anyone experienced this before....Thursday night my baby had temperature(very hot) all through d night but slept well,in d mornin d temp disappeared tho she was cranky n clingy all day but she was okay thru out d day until past 1 am last night d temperature was back n up till now she is still hot. ..I'm at my aunts so no thermometer to check d temperature....my aunt is saying it's teething (her 2nd tooth is coming out,although d 1st came out with no drama) dat it will stop but me I'm worried n wld like to take her to d hospital..

Please any suggestion on what to do if any1 has experienced such with teething cos me I have stopped believing all dis grandma's belief abt teething. Being using paracetamol tho but just pitying d poor gurl

Molfix has become smtin else ohh,noticed rashes from time to time wen i used some bash but d last big pack I got nah soo soo cry I used to finish it ...fought with diaper rash all thru,felt bad for my poor baby sef ...I gave it one last shot with d same size n it was rash war again,didn't wait to finish it before i threw it away ..got nigerian pampers after reading people's review here n mehnnn my baby's bum is as smooth as express road
Bye Bye to molfix

enque:
Molfix is now bad market for me o. Hoping these other brands will stay sane for a while too

Not always true ohh...my baby is a testimony to dat,did EBF for full 6months n the 1st time I gave her solid (banana puree) she took it wellaaaa....everyother meal I have introduced to her as bin a win-win even ewedu n she loves water too...we are 2 weeks post ebf n she hasn't rejected any food so far

Yesitsme:
mothers who plan EBF for 6months are always adviced to gradually food in bit in their babies mouth as early as 4months so that they can get the taste of other meals aside breastmilk. Since their tastebud is only use to breastmilk, it's difficult for them to eat when time is right....U have to be patient with her til she is able to eat. It's not easy but u have to

Thank u very much

My baby is 7 months....here's our schedule.
We breastfeed in the morning till 8am when I leave her to go t work.

For her creche, I pack 1 formula milk feed, 2 solid meals and 1 pureed fruit (not everyday but I try to do this lyk 3 time a week). I pick her by 5pm and we breastfeed in the evening and I give her a bottle of milk b4 she sleeps.
This is basically for weekdays...

For weekends, I freestyle since we are together all thru....
But I always ensure that she gets a bottle of formula and breastmilk everyday.

Hulloo mamas,my ebf baby is clocking 6 months next week so getting ready to introduce solid ...senior mamas pls how did u arrange d feeding timetable,as in when to give solid n breast milk.. thanks much

Change his diaper more frequently(2-3 hours) maybe..wen my baby was around dat age ,any diaper past 2,3 hours gives her rashes...u can use baby tribotan for d rashes,works fast..

Obideekeh:
Good morning moms! I need advice. I just noticed some rashes on my LO's thighs and just above his peepee. He's 3 weeks now, and his circumcision has healed completely. I ruled out diaper rash cus I change his diapers at least 4x everyday (night inclusive). My mind tells me it may be nlacha, but I have no idea what that looks like.

If it is nlacha, can palm kernel oil solve it? He's still too young for creams (Jos is cold!!) so we still use vaseline blue seal. I'm confused as to whether to mix it with skineal or some other topical ointments.

Pls help?

My baby starts her new week age on Fridays n her immunizations has bin the Tuesday after (d hospital gave d dates)....so it's okk to go upper Tuesday.

Giddyperson:
Hi @hunniesuzzie, Zaynie, any mama that knows

My baby would turn six weeks by Thursday Next week and the PHC said they do immunization on Tuesdays. Should I take the baby for her 6 weeks immunization on Tuesday even tho she'd be 2 days shy ( would that matter) or do I have to wait for the upper Tuesday when she'd be almost 7 weeks.

I'm a new comer here


N.B I use Johnsons soap on him
I dont use any cream on him cos i'm scared it might turn him to blackky especially sheabutter

His body is very smooth except for the face

It's direct from source"the bwest" she takes ohh (it's expressed BM she rejected in bottle) even spoon feeding she didn't gree

enque:
She rejected bottle? So how do u feed her formula or expressed bm?

My DD too ohh,she sips it out like "yamayama" something ....guessing mayb it contributed to why she rejected bottle too sef cos she sips both out d same way..
These babies as Tiny as dey are,dey know wat they want

Pic of d hand blender plsss....was actually thinking of buying d nuby blender

AlphaHandMaiden:
I so agree with you!, like 2 years ago i had gotten the nuby babyfood blender/ steamer set for a friend and was thinking of getting one for myself, but no space to put it so i started looking at all the gadgets i currently own! and voila, gathering dust at the back of my cupboard was my hand blender.

It is ideal for small quantities. you can easily blend / purree one or two portions to a very smooth consistency, you don not need to add to much liquid and you do not need to fill it till half for it to blend well.

when i discovered it, the way i felt ehn! you will think i discovers a pot of gold in my backyard!

all i use is my largest mug with high sides with a piece of kitchen towel over the top of the mug to reduce splashes..... Done!

Tnxs alots,will reduce d washing to once....it's only shea butter I apply on her hair normally.. will check out d IG page... thank uuuu

MetroTee:
Hi eribooboo... sometimes the reason why their hair chops is from excessive dryness. And washing the hair too often contributes to this. Try limiting wash with soap to once a week. You can wet other days. Then shea butter/coconut oil to massage the scalp. That will help stimulate growth.

Are you on instagram? Check out @munaluchi Lots of helpful tips. The edges usually chop first because they are more sensitive

Mamas little help here, d front hairline of my baby is chopping any suggestions on why n wat to do?
I wash her hair twice a week...evry other part is growing very well but I just noticed d front is chopping more n more by d day.... HellepMeOhh

Thankss

Cute baby Zara ....same goes for my daughter ohhh,sucks thru the mitten dat wen u check it's completely soaked....had to give up n stopped wearing d mitten for her make she enjoy her hand (serzly hoping she outgrows it early)

Thanks,will do that

harbeordune:
@ eribobo, my L.O also had that tilting thing, but it resolved with time,he is now 5 months. Also, alternate the sleeping sides consciously, it helps.

My question is wat is d best way to care for a boy' s hair.

My. Baby dosent collect d bottle even when I'm not arund...given up n accepted her rule as she wants it

Learnt a lotsssss about d hair care,I'm guilty of Washing evrytdy ,no b my fault dats how I was trained to do it during omugwo....lolol

Pls mamas,for some days now I hv noticed dat she tilts her head to one side(right side) esp wen she is relaxed,she is 10wKS old. ...Pls any1 with such experience n wat do I do. Kinda worried abt it.. thanks

luscioustrish:
I'm doing ebf too but I usually wear clothes that makes breastfeeding easy when we go out, free long tops and high-waist leggings or trousers,for church I wear peplum tops that have detachable zipper and a high-waist skirt,nursing bras with zipper at the front too helps...cos my son doesn't accept bottle,had to improvise

So I hv to bring out breast everytym we go out n she wants to feed
How do u manage if u want to drop him with sm1 to rush smwer briefly? Dats another concern cos I hv people I can peacefully drop her with.

Hi mothers,first timer mum here... well done to u all

I'm doing EBF n don't mind feeding her but just worried for when we hAve to go out n she wants to feed in public.
Please any suggestions as to what or how to try making her take bottle again will b really appreciated... thank you

thanks

chibertha:
There are lots of them depends on what you want in your plan, just go to any retailer and demand for a cheap monthly plan
but if you want to make calls out of usa always buy a call card then for usa and Canada calls use Skype
That is how run my call show over there

dere5:
Try Lycra mobile, they have different packages,check them out online. I think I used the one for $23 a month the last time I travelled
