Moms Abeg o.. My baby has been coughing a lot for about 2 weeks now. I’ve been giving cough syrup from the hospital but it’s still there. Is there any homemade stuff you can recommend. My baby is still under one year.

kokaiye:
u c dt waistbelt na scam... Dt tin mk my tommy sides folds into two n belly isnt bl to how it was... I wore it for 2weeks as well too but dt tin no work.

Kikiki.... Abi wetin woman go do. If I can't control my breast as gravity would always happen I thought I could control stomach. Even with the whole childbirth wahala I said let me try my best and wear this thing but after a while a dump it. My oga will look at it at times and want to comment I'll quickly give him bad eyes. Abeg hold your comment.

StarryV:
My tummy haff refused to go inside oo somebody help.

I'm 6 weeks postpartum, I didn't expect it to still be like this. I look 5 months pregnant . My maternity leave will be over in less than 6 weeks time. I don't know what else to do.

Don’t worry. It took 9 months for it to get that way. Don’t automatically expect it to go back to pre-pregnancy state. Body differs but for me I started wearing a tummy belt the week of delivery. I wore it all day long morning to night for about 2 weeks straight until I couldn’t stand it any longer. My stomach isn’t totally flat now but I feel it could have been worse.

Plenty crazy people full this thread o.

StaceIk:
I’m glad to have bumped up to this thread…

Don’t worry my baby was like that too. My Oga was even saying na from my family she inherit bald head from. But now the hair is so full to the forehead.

MummyNeto:
mama start putting the baby on the smaller one more often, with time it will start producing more milk, its often hard to reverse it when you must have weaned o

Ha…Abeg o…thanks

StarryV:
haven't tried any yet. But I'm thinking of getting colibel drop. I don't really know how effective it is.

I’m not sure of the brand but if it’s gas drop it should be good. I used Infacol I think.

kokaiye:
Awwn!!! Welcome teamie... Mamas combining work and taking care of babies are really trying swears!!! God knows i cant cos takin care of baby sef ehn ve almost wound me, i don cry tire sef dis morning cs i remember wen i was still an omidan wit no responsibilities... Wen i only takia of mysef, looked at mysef in d mirror and i couldnt recognise mysef cs i now look fat n lookin lik an homeless person n my color faded (son inherited all my oyinbo colour) n i cried lik alot... I just needed to let the tears out to feel gud afterwards.. Plus i get irritated about everything... I am 100% overstimulated

I was still thinking about this some days ago. Those things they don’t tell you about motherhood. It is not just all bright and beautiful after the baby is here. It might seem selfish to some but try to close your eyes to some things and create time for selfcare for yourself.

Btw mamas, one boob is double the size of the other here o probably cause I breastfeed 80 percent with that boob. It is more convenient for me and produces more milk. I hope it will go back to normal after breastfeeding?

StarryV:
Good evening Mamas in the house. My 5weeks+ baby is battling with gassy tummy that disturbs him mostly at night. Please is there any possible remedy? And how long does it take to go away?

Have you tried stomach gas drops for infants.

True. When my mum insisted I cleaned my baby mouth every morning I asked his PD and she said baby’s mouth should be left like that no need for cleaning.

Omakraid:

This is what I was able to read up on that
https://www.healthxchange.sg/children/parenting-tips/is-being-too-clean-bad-for-child-immune-system

Oh.. interesting read . thanks for sharing

Mamas do you know there is something called babies getting sick because their environment is too clean??KIkikiki…that’s how my sisters baby was taken to the hospital and the doctor said she should calm down on the neatness that the child’s need micro biome something something….Actually my sis is a neat freak o. After every pumping she bought special liquid soap and will boil the bottles for like 30 minutes before she wash with the special soup….

Layormiii:
me too, I regret buying this very big baby powder because nah Me dey use am now w sef. Even his dusting powder. It was after giving birth I heard we shouldn't use any of those things for them again.

Kikikiki…So true. I actually wrote it on my list when pregnant but the day I went shopping I didn’t see it so I just cancelled it out outrightly.

Layormiii:
I use Shea butter for my baby too, perfect for his skin, but his face is lighter than his body . I use it as bumbum cream too to avoid pampers rashes and and our bumbum yaf been smooth all day long

So it seems it’s a universal thing then. I’ve never had pamper rash also. Shea butter is the only thing I use for my baby all through no baby powder or baby oil of any kind.

dnt leav baby hair with out oil... Sheabutter or vaseline is ok

So I’ve learnt..,thank you.

Omakraid:

Personally I think babies have their face lighter than their bodies... Its when they grow that the face becomes slightly darker than their bodies.. But if you think its caused by the shea butter, maybe you should change it

I have also seen a baby like that also. I want to continue with the shea butter though. Because so far my baby doesn’t have any skin issues.

Omakraid:

Oh, I'm sorry I slipped that part. I think it will make the hair dry out truly. Please, apply something

Ok thanks

Eezohbae:


Personally, I prefer Shea butter. It's been serving us we'll for long now. And it detangles and keeps her hair soft

Yes, I sometimes use shea butter also. But I use shea butter as body cream for my baby also and I notice how the skin got darker overtime. Do you think it could be cause of the shea butter? I use less shea butter on my baby’s face and more on the body and the face is a bit lighter than the body.

Omakraid:

I use shea butter on my baby's hair these days but I apply it more than once a day so her scalp is not dry... I doubt if it will make her hair coarse but try and Apply it more than once

oh. Not the shea butter itself. I meant will not applying anything on the hair cause that. Most often I only brush the hair without applying anything. The baby is on low cut though.

So I haven’t been oiling my baby’s hair for a while cause of heat. But I’ve been told it will make the hair became coarse. Is that true? Though I sometimes use shea butter on it. What do you mamas recommend??

kokaiye:
wait!!! What? Last year ke??

Hahahaha. You never see natin. Go back and check his posts. I just hope he doesn’t abandon the lady with all these children when he goes to meet his ‘fiancée’ in the US.

Omakraid:

God will keep her and see them through.. I believe he must have learnt his lessons and next time, he will flee

I doubt it. I believe hed come back again next year just like he did now and he did last year also.

abobote:
Very fresh and beautiful at 47.
Her freshness de make me reason like say my wife used football age. How can she be 31, but look older than Rita Dominic that's is 47.

Happy birthday forever Young

Hello sir. Her freshness comes from millions of naira invested in skincare and anti-aging techniques. Plus she doesn't yet have kids that'd take a toll on her body or have to serve an ungrateful nagging husband.

Now look at your wife can all these be said for her?

I think OP should listen to the advice of experienced men here by not taking his wife with him for fear she might demand for her rights in a sane environment.

The better option is to marry an educated lady abroad. They just always have this superpower of bringing out the meek side of every Nigerian man and taming their roaring lion.

DontBullshitMe:
I just don't see myself getting married. Will never happen.

Marriage is for people who don't find join and happiness in their own being.

I agree with you sir. Marriage is a scam. As a man what better way to spend the old days than alone and miserable with no wife to tend to one and a string a bastards strewn around.

The man of course.

We can't blame the married woman because her husband could be denying her sex at home. You know how men are when they have children, they lose themselves and aren't attractive to their wives anymore.

The rate at which men are being thrown out of their matrimonial home is alarming. This is the time for him to go to the war room so as to secure his family.
