a little bit of pampering And loving from grandma

Yea baby

happytbaby:
Thanks dear. The issue is that I carried bags and sone were heavier than 50pounds which is the limit for Southwest cos Arik carries up to 66pounds. Grandma and I have rearranged eventually.
Southwest no longer opens in Nigeria, I already bought them to Chicago so when I ported to El Paso, I had to ask my sibling thats abroad to assist. We skyped and shared his screen so I could see all the options real time. You can try that.

If u re lucky, dey might not weigh ur bags like mine

Pintoxx, how re u dear? Hang in there ok, it will end in praise!

Then please house, has anyone used Minnesota or New York recently? Pls I need help o.i have tried searching but cant find.
.Thank you

Sorry about d late response, just checkin my mentions. Pls check Njidekachi and bisoye82's post for the cost breakdown. Accommodation is pretty expensive in LA

Thanks dearie

Mamas, please I need suggestions on beautiful ukwani baby girl names + meaning

Posh404, not possible. A doctor can't use a hospital he does not av admitting privilege

Barak4real, recently I started experiencing itching too. Got a cream frm d pharmacy but didn't help much. I found a solution! Each time I use the toilet, I wash with hot water and take off my panties for air to circulate. I change my panties like 3 times. Once I notice it's wet, I change it. Also, washed all my undies with hot water. The itching has reduced drastically. You may need to wash ur jajaina more often.

PresVA:
Thanks a lot dear, quite insightful. . The cost is even cheaper than I expected. . I don't also expect her to cook for me, just take care of my baby while I'm at work. .

I'm pregnant already, due soon. ..
I will start looking for one immediately I give birth before I exhaust my mat. leave... will ask people around my area. . I really pray to get a good one, Amen..

Another thing, did you install camera in your house?

Someone suggested creche but I think my baby will be too young for creche at that time; he'll be 2mths + by God's grace. ..

This issue is really giving me headache. .it's even worse as my husband works offshore half of the time so I'm basically somewhat alone..

It's well..

My dear, I don't leave my baby with any nanny alone at any given time! No, I didn't install cameras cos most times dey re in the house, I'm around or hubby is to keep watch. At work hours, dey stay with my granma who watches over him.

If you ask me, i'd say pick a creche. Except u av a family member dat will be at home with the nanny and baby. I can't trust my child to a total stranger. If your toddler's school has a creche, u might need to consider so u drop off and pick both of dem at d same time. I undastand d 2months is quiet young and separation bit, but I tell you baby will be fine. Pop in at break time and spend time with her. Wen my son ws younger, I drive home every lunch break. It ws quiet tasking bt as he grew say 6months, I reduced d daily lunch time waka.

In dis case, since you won't be home all day, you can get a nanny dat comes in d evening to clean and do others.

Also, let ur new baby be independent early. Once after feeding, put him/her in a rocker. Let baby sleep in his/her bassinet. Engage your toddler too wen baby cums. Tell him to bring diaper and wipe wen changing baby, rub baby vaseline and all dat. He will be vry happy to be involved.

Missmalachi, it is well with you dear! God will restore that which was lost. *hugs*

PresVA:
@ Fedd..y27 , how much do you pay your nanny that comes in d morning and goes when you're bk from work? Or what's their salary range like?
Is there any agency supplying such in Ph here?

Then how do you manage baby at night without help and still have strength to go work the nxt day?

Just so confused on how to manage baby and work.

Take a hug first *hugs* The many pecks dat comes with motherhood and career. I ws once as confused as you are and I cried wen I had to, to ease my mind.

Ok, mum arranged for the girl for me thru one lady. I paid the lady 5k. Their salary range is within 10-20k depending on where they re comin from ie considering transport and the nature of their job.

My nanny stays close to me so we walks to work and she earns 12k. Her major chores are to clean my house, wash&iron baby's clothes and take care of him while I'm at work. She does not cook 4 me. Also, other extras I do: I bought her a phone and she eats twice or takes her last meal home.

As for my toddler, I drop off him and his nanny at granny's house. Sometimes if I'm running late, hubby does d drop off and either of us dat gets home first will do pick up.

For baby to sleep at night, I reduce screen time ie tv watching and he does a lot of outdoor play; football, race, riding bike etc. 7.30-8pm, he takes his bath and eats. 9-9.30p, lights out and I put him to sleep. Wen he wakes up at night, I feed him again and he goes back to sleep. In d morning, I give him a bath, dress him up, feed and take care of myself too then we all leave d house. Since I got preggy, dats a lot for me coupled with tiredness so hubby bathes and dresses him up and also does the drop off.

If you are preggy already, av a chat wit ur boss to allow you 1hr late. U can negotiate to close 1hr afta others to balance d time.

I don't knw of any nanny agency, I've always had people bring dem for me.

Take it easy each day as it comes and don't beat yourself to it. All the best dear
