Please receipeee and how did you get it to be this shape

250g of flour
2 Tsp of yeast
1/4 cup of milk (powdered)
1/4 cup of melted butter
1/4 cup of sugar ( I used less)
1 cup of warm water
1/2 tsp of salt

Mix the warm water, milk, sugar and yeast in a bowl let it stand for abt 10 minutes to proof.
Sift flour and salt in a bowl make a well at the centre and pour in the yeast mixture.
Mix to form a wet sticky dough, add melted butter and knead.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for abt 15 mins. Transfer into a greased bowl, cover with a thick towel in a dark place and let in stand for abt an hour.
Punch down the dough and knead a little.
Shape the dough as desired and place in a lightly grease pan, cover and let it stand for 30 mins.
Heat up the oven and bake till top is golden brown. Turn off the oven and glaze top with melted butter.

To get that shape, just roll into balls and put in d pan; let them have space between one another, they will rise and join together before u bake.

Good evening my lovely mama's,pls I need help, my Dd av not poo since 3days now,pls wat can I give her for her to poo,and she fart a lot..
Secondly she av diaper raches,wat can I get to clear it..

For the diaper rash, try sudocreme or baby tribotan.
If ur dd is on EBF, leave her alone, it's normal for them to go days without poo but if she's on formula, try n give water after each feed and first thing in the morning but don't fill her tummy with too much water.
My ds passes stool once or twice a week.

Good morning all,i hope we are all doing great. Congrats to all mamas that have delivered their LO. Forgive me if I don't mention names but na my team members. Team September for supernatural birth and every day dropping.

Please I have a question, this colic in babies, is there any thing that can be given to reduce the pains and my LO is suffering from it and the way she does, u wil know it really painful for her.

Please any body with remedy or what can be done, should please answer me, don't jump and pass.

CC: Mummy Zainye, Sugah, liftedhands and other sabi mamas. Pls help a sister in distress.

Congrats to all that have ported from ATC to here. May the Lord permanent ur miracle in Jesus name. Amen. And all that celebrated one thing or the other. Pls am waiting.

I used infacol for 3 weeks and that was it. Infacol doesn't cure it but reduces the pain to a minimal extent. I gave my ds 0.5ml before each feed.
Pls if u are taking this route, buy from a trusted pharmacy. Price is btw 2,500- 2,700.

AlphaHandMaiden, God bless you for this church "thing" you just addressed. I can't spend more than 2 hours in church! It has been an issue between me and Dh. He can stay in a 6 hours service.
What I plan doing is to give him our ds from d begining of the service till d end. Thank God he's on formula; I'll give him everything needed including diapers, so he can see how not possible it is for a nursing mother to stay in service for more than 2 hours. Especially with a baby that eats every 2 hours and want to play afterwards.

Yes oo, dey exist big tym, doing it in ur presence while one is hungry can b crazy...

I dnt even knw if am circumcised sef,cos d labia dats usually large ND protrudes out, iIdnt hav it, even my Dh asked me twice if iIwas circumcised, I dnt knw was my response, am against it after reading it online, iIcried ND was worried if truly I was. Somtimes iIhav a feeling I was circumcised. How do u feel at esof1?? Dnt knw how to ask my. Mum abt it, cos she's a nurse,

chizeal, my labia majora and minora are intact, it's d cli.t that was cut, tho small is still left. You will have to look carefully before u see d I cli.t.
On how to ask your mum, start up a conversation with her, it could be on sex education, delivery..... since she's a nurse, u could tell her you heard circumcised women tend to have more difficulty in during childbirth and hear what she has to say before u pop the question.

My own issue is circumcision of the girl child.
I don't know why i have a feeling that someone would want to try it.
ask my mum what her views are or ask my MIL
.lemme get heads up.

I dont want someone to drug me to sleep off n try shit with my child.
I foresee a battle and openly insulting anyone that does it when i realise.
Cos i know no one can when am awake.

i am just worried.

Lolz, I rememer when mum told me I was circumcised; I almost chop her raw. She had to convince me that it was my paternal grandparents that forced her to do it.
Pls let MIL and ur mum know u stance abt FGM and I believe they won't do it without ur consent.
I'm waiting to have a dd then let someone suggest circumcision, the person wud hate me forever.

This post is very long but highly educative.
Cc. florena, enque. I saw ur post and decided to share this. My mum and her friends have been on my neck as regards this anterior fontanelle on my ds, thank God for my stubborness, I wud av given my son one "nonsense agbo"

So what is this "Oka"?
The Grannies and some mums believe that there is a "hole" or "space" which is "breathing" or pulsating in the head of the new baby which is abnormal. That this soft space is not right and should not be there. Any baby that has this "abnormal space or hole" is diagnosed with "Oka".

For fat, hairy babies, the "hole" is not so apparent and often ignored. However, in smaller babies who are also not gaining weight or perhaps loosing weight, the space is very prominent and can even be sunken. Such babies are easily labelled as having "Oka" and commenced on all forms of treatment ranging from application of substances on the scalp to drinking herbal remedies. There are lots of myths and beliefs surrounding this "Oka".

So why am I talking about "Oka"?
Some years ago, during my residency training to become a Paediatrician, I was working at the Children Emergency Room (CHER) at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital when two women rushed in with a baby crying. That is not unusual in CHER. What was terrifying that day was when I saw the baby rushed in. He was about 2 - 3 months old. For the first time in my life, I was seeing the brain live and direct in a living person who was not being operated. This was not a movie scene! The brain of this baby was completely visible to everyone. What happened?

In the usual fashion, the grandma who came for "omugwo" had made a diagnosis of "Oka" and has prescribed the traditional treatment which was coating the surface with a black material. Unfortunately, in this scenario, whatever substance was applied was so caustic, it eroded (burnt) away the membrane of the anterior fontanelle and you can see the baby's brain live and direct!!! Of course, this was disastrous....for baby, mother and grandma and even us the doctors.

That is why I talk and educate mums about this traditional myths and beliefs that are dangerous to children's health. Of course, granny did not mean to harm her precious grandson but she did anyway. That baby had to undergo brain surgery. Of course, he had serious infection of the brain even before and after surgery. Though he did not die, but there are long-term complications he will face all because of someone's ignorance. No wonder, ignorance is more expensive than education.

FACTS TO KNOW ABOUT "OKA"
1. The "soft hole or space" often erroneously believed to be an abnormality is A NORMAL PART of the baby's head. It is called ANTERIOR FONTANELLE (AF).

Every baby has it. It is there to allow along with the small spaces (sutures) between the different bones of the skull to accommodate the baby's brain growth. So it is not "OKA" or any other thing....It is a normal part of the baby's head.

2. The anterior fontanelle (AF) is covered by a membrane, and this membrane is what actually separates the baby's brain from the environment. It is that important! So any application of substances that can damage this membrane will lead to exposure of the brain to the environment with serious consequences like in the story above.

3. The fact that in some babies, very hairy or chubby especially, that you can not see it pulsating or "breathing" in local naija parlance does not mean it is not there. Some mums have actually said their babies do not anterior fontanelle! That is not true....every baby is born with one!

4. The size and shape of the AF varies from one baby to another normally. In some conditions, it can be too big. Also the anterior fontannelle can be elevated "bulging" in some conditions especially if the baby has infections in the brain. It can be depressed "sunken" in other conditions like in babies that are very dehydrated or malnourished.

Please note that in these conditions, it is not the AF causing the disease symptoms (for example diarrhoea and dehydration with sunken AF). Rather, the AF is just reflecting the fact that something is wrong in the body systems.

It is important to say this because this is one of the reasons some mums believe in "OKA". Such babies are sick and may either have prominent or sunken AF in addition to other symptoms. The "OKA doctors" will now say it is the "oka" causing the symptoms.

The danger of this belief is all treatments will be directed to the AF and the underlying disease causing the change in AF will be ignored. Also some of the native medications often use d have dangerous side effects and consequences especially on the immature liver and kidneys of the babies causing further damage...."fry pan to fire" scenario!!!

5. The AF closes on its own by age of 18 - 24 months. This is because more than 90% of brain growth and development has occurred by the age of 2 years. You did not need to do anything about it. It happens on its own. Just to note that some diseases can cause delay in closure of the AF. See your paediatrician if you can still feel the AF in your baby after age 2 years.

6. You did not need to apply oil to the AF hourly or daily....highly unnecessary and the dripping oil will cause rashes on the baby's face. The AF is not "drying up" like many naija mums believe. You also do not need to put thread from cloth. You also do not need to mop AF with hot water or apply any substances local or herbal on it. JUST LEAVE THE AF ALONE!!!

7. Finally if your baby is sick with or without observed changes in the AF, please go to the Hospital immediately. Don't assume and don't accept the "OKA" diagnosis. Please see your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. A stitch in time saves nine.
