Mamas, please what cream can you recommend for my DD. Her face is light but her body is kinda of black. Presently I use shear butter+ pears for her after bath in the night then morning I use Kirkland coconut oil for her. I want the whole completion to be like face.

Please note that I have never applied any cream to her face before so she's natural on her face.
Also take note that DH is light skinned and am chocolate
Cc: en..que,jazz..jazz,AlphaH...andMaiden,Fed...dy27,zay..nie and every other Sabi mama. I need your recommendation.

Thank you

Hey babe! Chill and allow her skin breathe and grow. You should not bother about complexion right now. Just let her be.. She's too young for all these things.

Please don't use anything, just allow her

Jaygrl, don't resign yet... Sit back and analyse the situation. There is always a way to go about it.

1. Take him along and keep in a creche close to your office. He's still young and has emotional attachment for you hence the cries. Your nanny can't play that role and may not be patient with him.

2. Stop force feeding! 1 in 3 children always have push backs when it comes to feeding. Since you are the mother, you can always figure a way around it. I resumed work when my daughter was 2 months old and she also rejected the bottle! I bought different types, yet nothing!

Solution : we fed her with syringe. I breastfeed in the morning before I leave. Since you will be taking him along, breastfeed on the way before you get to the creche.

Pop in at break time, breast feed and play with him then go back to work. I went home (cos baby was at grannies) every break till she was 7 months old.

Keep trying but ensure he's not force fed. Let them sing along while feeding. When he gets to 4 months, you can introduce cereal.

Pele dear. It can really be frustrating for a first time mum

ashedzi:
Hi Hi, waving from Chitown. Howaya? Miss u

Fantastic...I'm good..we are waiting to hear the good news! Take care of u

ashedzi:
Most of the dates in August are available, maybe you should check again. After reading ur post, I had to check as well considering my time but I saw a lot of available dates. All the best.

hey mama, how are you

customised87:
Thanks for responding. Needed to confirm what kind of consent form is acceptable in Dallas since she used the place.

ok

AlphaHandMaiden:
Et tu?

oui mama

customised87:
Hello all! The next available date to notorise consent form at the embassy is Aug 22 and I am supposed to travel back to Nig on Aug 28. What do I do pls cause I was just told that Dallas passport agency won't accept one notorised outside the embassy.
Kindly advise me pls!

Let him go ahead. You can meet up. if he gets it notarized and sends the same day via dhl, you will get it by 24th. Go to passport office same day and pick up passport same day.

Akorkor:
ko! Koo!! KOO KOOO KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Good morning mama, Just checking on everyone. Cough and Cattarh did not allow me to rest ohhhh

pele dear.. how are you doing now? go and drink plenty water and eat fruits

Liftedhands:
Please don't force her to stop jare.. let her enjoy the boobies like her elder brother did!

By the way the post you qouted was for alphamama! She's having twin boys next by faith

alphahandmaiden, receive twins sharp sharp

olubankemi:
Yeppeee, @Feddy27 and @Liftedhands, I hold my two breast flap them together to say respect!!!!, 27months and 20months respectively ewoooo, my twins of 15months everyone don dey hala say e don too much, infact my elder sister is coming down to stop them next week.

Meeeeennnn, but 27months still sucking? I no fit shout ooooo.

lol.. truth is I just enjoy breastfeeding them

customised87:
Hello, pls I sent you a PM! I need to ask a question as regards notorised consent form.
Pls reply as it's quite urgent. Wouldn't want to derail this thread by asking here.
Thanks

What's your question in that regard? I've used notarized forms twice

Teegali:
Madam fe...ddy27 ,my 2016 October I doff cap for you oo@ 27months breastfeeding., but were you also breastfeeding him while you were pregnant,how did cope with pregnancy and breastfeeding?. Everyone is telling me to stop breastfeeding my dad of aalmost 10 months as I m on another missionary journey ,I m 13 weeks + .I m worried that I will be depriving her if I wean her by force.

congrats my darling! so good to hear from you. I didn't have any issues while pregnant and breastfeeding. I just made sure I ate very well and drank enough water. Expect a lot of pressure from people! If you want to carry on, ignore their statements. Also know, it can be very tiring but I was more tired to go thru the rigors of weaning... I was not prepared for the many crying and shouting so I rather chose to continue the breastfeeding for my sanity sake.

Liftedhands:
Thank you. Please let our twin boys suck for as long as they want when you have them.

Lol.... Don't mind me jare... I'm getting tired already. Once she's 1, by force o... I must stop

AlphaHandMaiden:
Cc feddy! 27 months! Wow! Una dey try oh!

I wave my nursing bra in homage!

Lol... Since he has refused to stop, let him ride on
Once his sister stops, that's his last day

Liftedhands:
We still do o! I wanted him to stop on his own time but the young man seem not ready to.

ride on darling! Ekene needs all the breastmilk..lol

20months is good; I wonder why boys find it hard to give up... my son is 27months and he still sucks! I'm not worried cos the milk is sufficient for him and his sister and since it's still available to the sis, why hoard it from him...efforts I made in time past didn't stop him so I gave up! any day both of them are tired, let them stop

kisses to my handsome Ekene

Akorkor:
I support you because i do not see any reason why you will wash their mouth at those tender age. I do not wash my own baby mouth too. I just started at six month now just using wash cloth with warm water.

I used to do it until my son's paed stopped me. She talked about distorting the normal flora that had the cleansing potentials bla bla bla..... I just let it go jare, for my daughter.. I didn't bother. I got this toothpaste for my son but I've kept it for her since it's fluoride free and safe if swallowed.

XX01:
I don't really agree. I think babies need their mouths cleaned daily including their tongues. I used that baby toothbrush before getting a rough washcloth. It removed the white milk residue.

Your opinion, your choice. It's working for you, ride on

jazzyjazz:
I got baby tribotan this morning. But I'll buy this one you just shared

Ditch baby tribotan, use this and see the difference

Naomi14:
Mamas please can I use this, to clean my lo tongue? She is 12weeks. Am tired of using cotton wool, it doesn't wipe it clean.

Why do you want to clean it These babies have self cleansing mouths. Don't stress the baby for now. it's not necessary.

If you must clean it, soak her washcloth in warm water and use it.

jazzyjazz:
I'm definitely getting another brand. This molfix is now a fail. Even dh saw the rash and screamed

sorry about the diaper rash. what are you using? Try this cream and come back smiling

jazzyjazz:
I've stopped o
I just respected myself and stopped before story go enter.

Better

jazzyjazz, thanks for the puffpuff inspiration.

I've been craving it and last week, I ordered for 1k worth. Do you know we (I, hubby and my son) finished it on the road before we got home so I got challenged and said I will make mine this weekend. Voila! I bought everything but could not find yeast! That was how my puffpuff bubble was bursted I must look for yeast today on my way home. This evening will be puffpuff with cold zobo

Gr8fulheart, don't beat yourself ! Nobody loves your child more than you do. Don't allow anybody to judge you. Ignore their comments.

baby will be fine. Try and boost his immunity before you head for the crèche.

All will be well *hugs*

rully2:
Thank you so much for the trouble. I appreciate.

Dear mothers, I am a first time mom with a cute daughter of about 14 months. I will be needing to go back to work. Its inevitable at the moment. So I was hoping to get some suggestions and tips on handling this cos I am scared and worried to death, just the thought of her being out of my sight alone is scary.

I plan on enrolling her in a day care. Please kindly share what I should look out for, what I should expect and all and how she can stay safe and protected. Please any tip and suggestions will be highly welcomed. Thank youl

Welcome on board.
- Expect some separation anxiety in the first 2 weeks.
- visit the place and have a conversation with the proprietress.
- Confirm the child to teacher ratio.. anything more than 1:5 for toddlers is too much ie 1 minder should not have more than 5 toddlers to look after.
- Confirm there is a sleeping area
- Check for toilet system; this will tell you if potty training will be effective
- A general look at the environment will tell if it is child friendly
- Ask as many questions as possible; how they ensure she is safe and protected, ask everything!
- Ensure to have a separate bag for change of clothes (at least 2 pairs), diapers, wipes, cream powder and comb
- Please make simple hairstyles.. don't use beads pls! It is a safety hazard..
- Also ensure to spend time with her when you are back home each day. This gives children comfort
- Keep to a strict sleeping routine. It will help you have a confident and well rested child in the morning. My children must sleep by 9pm daily. After school, my son plays outdoor for a while then watches tv till 8pm. Once it's 8pm, no more tv. Takes his bath, eat a meal and prepare to sleep. Wakes up by 6am, brushes his teeth, takes his bath, gets dressed and eats breakfast before we set out.

For her lunch pack, try to put what she is comfortable eating at home. Don't try out new foods as her lunch pack meals. When my son started, I add a "proper" meal (rice, spaghetti, noodles, plantain, eggs etc)., a drink (water, ribena, caprisonne etc), a fruit (orange, banana, apples etc,), an extra meal (cereals, sandwich, biscuits) and a bottle of tea. I still continue this way and it has been working for me.

I hope this helps. You will surely be fine.

jazzyjazz:
Please o
Today while cleaning my son's ear, I perceived an offensive odour coming from his right ear. The left ear didn't smell at all.
It smelt bad. Please does anyone know what could be the cause?

Stop the use of cotton bud in his inner ear. Soap and water can cause smell. If there is no pain, fever and swelling, then there is nothing to worry about.

ambient:
thanks dear i will try adding crayfish,i bought august secret food.plz which formula do you recomend for him?

Aptamil, Enfamil or similac. if they are too pricey, continue with what you have to ensure to increase iron containing foods. how old is he?
