Indomie noodles

If yes, will i leave them intact in the tins or i have to open and pour them in a ziplock?

Is it also possible to carry small cooked indomie on board? i dont know what the infant meal is like. Airline is emirates.

Thank you.

If you want to have them in your carry on luggage, then you have open and pour them in Ziploc bags

Yes, you can make noodles or wateva food your child will like, put in a small bowl.

Don't forget to carry diapers, wipes, drink eg ribena, extra clothes

Oh! airline is emirates! You will enjoy it! They are the most kids friendly airline

Mama tinu @zaynie thank u for fetching such person out, u re blessed.

congratulations to all new mum's, more grease to d elbow of waddling mummies, u will all deliver like d Hebrew women and to all TTC mummies, dis month won't pass u by In Jesus Name.

Abeg, I need advise n I remembered I have my e family I can rely on. Started family planning 2 months ago (2 months interval injections), am due for the 2nd shot on saturday but my fear is, having been having irregular periods and I see cloths of blood once in a while, though I haven't complained to them at health centre. Note, my baby will be 11 months n I want to gap like 2 yrs before having another baby because I gave birth through cs. Pls ma, should I stop n continue with withdrawal method? Or continue with the family planning? Abeg all sabi mama's help me shook mouth oo no jump n pass. Thanks.

Most hormonal family planning methods comes with irregular periods. Since you want to space for 2 years, why don't you insert IUD or inplanon? Either of them should be better for you instead of this 2-monthly injection

hordunayormie:

Please dont use any drug to dry up the breast milk o, what i did was, i just made a nice warm beverage in his flask and begged hubby to help me give him at night when he wakes up to suck and we did that for 2 days and that was it. As per the breast milk, i used petrol to rub my breast and the water drained out speadily within two days and i used paracetamol, if you see my breast now ehn, it be like say i never breastfeed before sef, lol. what worked for me though.

interesting.. my son stopped for one week and came back

Petrol that one strong o....

Fe..ddy27, hows ur weaning process? I am taking notes from you cos I am seriously counting down to where I can grab my breasts back from my adorable boy. Kai, that boy can suckkkk to the extent that if I come to pick him from creche, if he doesn't suck, he won't allow me place him on his car seat, at night nko... No wonder I always feel so exhausted.

I have not succeeded o... after the last trial that was extremely painful, I gave up! Honestly, I'm tired now and want to stop... I need quick and painless method Infact, I dey find drugs when go dry up the breastmilk jare.. I have tried

Akorkor:

In other words, sore throat dey do me too,, Is it the hamatthan that's coming?

Chanbaby,take a big hug!

Motherhood is not easy. Don't let anyone make you feel less of a person. As for the market, not everyone goes to the market often. If you are in Lagos, there are a number of sites that hav made market/grocery shopping easy eg. madamsabi.com sells everything you need to cook. Shop online and let them deliver to your house. Alternatively, put your child in a car seat and carry your stroller along to SPAR or Shoprite, buy pepper, tomatoes, carrot, okro, chicken etc from there. Personally, I rarely go the market aside the mini one near my estate and when I go, my pepper seller does all the errands...it saves me strength.. I tell her what to buy and she does all the shopping and loads them to my car and I give her token... that could also work for you so you don't move around with a baby

Your house is not a restaurant! anyone that needs fresh, delicious , eye catching menu should please visit the nearest restaurant! If your mum feels you don't cook, tell her to cook and bring. Don't allow anyone put you under more pressure than you are at the moment. Truth is taking care of a child is sooo much work! Take each day as it comes. The day you can clean, do it... if not, let it be. Anybody that finds the place dirty should please pick broom and sweep for you. By the time you do that 2-3 times, they will get the message and stop putting you under pressure.

cc jazzyj..azz alphand..maiden chychy..4us zay..nie Ah..nie helo..vesme ,fedd..y27,etc etc

Pele dear... I would say see another doctor.

Pweetiebabe:
Yes ma he's on Exclusive and he eat well and soak diapers well, just kind of worry and I notice he's running temperature too, planing to take him back to d hospital

Exclusively fed babies don't poop often...if he's soaking up diapers with wee, then he's fine. As for the rumbling, it's nothing jare...newborns av plenty things that scares new mums.

Talking of running temp, did you use a thermometer? Are you sure he's not overly wrapped with thick shawl and others? The weather is pretty hot so try reduce the layers...only a onesie and flannel is ok

spiceeamiee:

I have packed the cereal jare. Will just wait a while. Will keep giving her formula and Breast milk for now. Thanks mama's @fedd..y27 @ore..nte21 @hun..niesuzie

you are welcome dear. Good decision you've made

goodfortun:
Hello mommas.... congratulations on the New born babies. May God bless and keep them in Jesus name! I've attached a picture of my baby's navel. It was small initially but seems to have blown up as he grew. He's two months old. What can we do bout it? Has anyone here experienced same and it went back in? Thanks!

Have a great weekend

nothing. just let it be , it will normalize... same with my daughter when she was younger, now it is sooo flat, you will never know it was once big

timigreene:
sabi mothers... Can a 1year 2months take coco pops?

Yes...you can crush him and add hot water + milk so it gets real soft before feeding

spiceeamiee:
Ha! Mama! This singing and dancing sontin, we go get the time so? . This may actually work with my baby as she likes being tickled and talked to but where the time na? Maybe only weekends. You wrote about 6month old babies. My baby is only 4months and just took cereal for the first time yesterday but she is not taking it well so I'm thinking of mixing this one (rice cereal) with her pap plus formular while I buy Heinz which she can then drink alone (with formular). Hope say we no go purge sha

Calm down!!! na small small... remember it's her 1st time...don't expect her to finish a bowl..start with 1-2spoons and complement with formula.. for now, give her one cereal at a time. Her stomach is still very tender. Na hurry hurry dey do you, you need to find time for your child o... remember family first, work and others are secondary

honeystar:
Mothers in the house, I need your advice. I have a baby girl that will soon be 3 months, she is both formula and breastfeed but she suddenly stopped taking formula I.e SMA. I have tried NAN, Frisolac,cow and gate but she still refuses all. Once she sucks the bottle and tastes the formula she starts crying, she only wants breast milk which is not sufficient cos she is not even putting on much weight. I will soon resume work and I don't have high supply of milk to express and keep moreover I work in a bank. Has anyone been in this situation? What did you do?

check the teat of the bottle. I'm sure it's not flowing fast enough for her

You might need to change the bottle. if she's using say tommee tippee now, try avent or dr. browns. If she still refuses, try using syringe or spoon. I had same issues with my daughter

isokey:

It's ok dear. Good to know you understand my point
