My baby is coughing and sneezing She's 4 weeks old today, I hope I've not exposed her to too much cold. Is it a hospital matter.

Cc: Zaynie, Jaysmama, anyone

Mzezkay:
Tnks 4 checking up on me......ma prince made is grand entrance on the 6th of may but i av been struggling with breast feeding him since den.It is kinda getting to me.

That's good to know, congrats. As for breastfeeding, I experienced the same thing, was a nightmare. As Jaysmama said, don't let it weigh you down, supplement with formula, drink lots of fluid and keep putting him to the breast. Or is it a latching problem? Whatever the issue, don't let yourself get frustrated, in the next couple of days it would sort itself out, mine did

Beyedew that your SIL is one hell of a pain in the arss. Throw that girl away biko. You need to go and pay her a visit in her husband's house when she finally gets married.

zaynie:
Lol!
Carry Beyedew SIL Na, let Beyedew rest small

Lmao this could work.

zaynie:

My MiL used to yab me about ebf, she be like "how person go chop, no drink water " . I strongly suspect that she gave Moyo water behind my back.
For Atinuke, irony was the day she died was the first day Atinuke took formular at 40 days....

My fear is not even that she might give her water but that she might give her one that's not pure, cuz I've hidden all her feeding bottles and Eva water, I pray she doesn't give her 'pure water' to suck. These days I'm always going to check on them when she has the baby. Back when the water and bottles were still in her room, she gave the baby as much as 3 oz some days.

hunniesuzie:
Looool. So you're doing exclusive? Will you continue when you resume work?

I am o finally, I'd prolly continue, don't even want to think of all the expressing that wud ve to take place before I change my mind

hunniesuzie:
Standard. My MIL's own is "give my baby food oh, no be all this water water" where water water is BM. Smh

She keeps reminding me that my hubby started eating foofoo at 3 months

Licious07:
Please boil and fry the whole chicken or else,it'll get spoilt. You can keep it in d freezer afterwards. The 7pm-12am light should be enough to keep it fresh. Now I feel like eating fried peppered chicken

hunniesuzie:
Cook then fry before freezing

Choi that's a whole lot of work . I'd survive. I'd freeze the stock too. Good idea, would make cooking easier in the coming weeks. Thanks

Someone just gave us a carton of frozen chicken, not sure how to preserve it. We don't have nepa light and only use the gen from 7pm-12midnight daily. What's the best way to store it biko, it's still a bit frozen. Should I keep it in the freezer in the carton just the way it came or do I wash and store in ziplock bags. Who else has experience with plenty meat and no light.

beyedew:
Tnks dearie. How is giddybaby?

She's fine. Sleeping and smiling cuz she's full of breastmilk.

MIL just found out that I'm now exclusively breastfeeding. I was hiding it from her before cuz she's number one enemy of EB. She'd been singing it like song that once Giddybaby clocks 3 months, she'd start drinking pap

Now she's like
How can you keep a baby for 6 months with no water, that's wickedness

Your breast would fall

You would be hungry 24/7

Your back would ache

Is that how your own mum brought you up

Or did your husband say he can't afford formula

This is how you would stress yourself so much now breastfeeding and it would make you swear to have just one child. I'd not agree for that one o

Choi get with the program already woman

beyedew:
Mommy Zaynie, good day ma. I can't access my diary, anti-spam bot say no entrance. Please who do I contact for him/her to help release me from jail, let me just pull down Bee's picture and they can erect the jail gates again. Before my hubs will decide to start nairaland-ing and see his son's pix and then have my lazy self for food.

hernyhorla:
Oh sweetie, don't be bored . she will start playing soon.
By the time she is 3 months now , you will see activity creation and when she start crawling, boredom will disapear finally.

So I have to resume work first, ok o thanks

CoolOne1:
Thanks @Giddyperson. I actually checked up on nairaland. But the reviews werent much, so i wanted to know of any personal experience as regards CS with them.

ANother mama here used them for CS recently and she had a nice experience too, maybe she'd answer you when she comes online. My cousin did cs with them two years ago, that was when I discovered them.

CoolOne1:
@pweetiebabe and Beyedew, thanks a lot. Sex not yet known but wud update as soon as i get the info.

@ All, who has used Isalu Hospitals at Ogba and how wud you rate them for CS especially. I intend using them for my antenatal and delivery.Your responses wud be appreciated.

You can type in their name in the nairaland search button, you'd find only good reviews. They are quite good

Towerofgrace:
Somebody pls epp me!!! this woman wants to kill me with laughter, ok oo, i haff yhear, i will raise up my hands and shout "no pictures please" to all bystanders next time i fall.

I hear you, shudders ko, shoulder ni, the user of the hole knows how to gain access, you don't need to know where it is, then you'll know it can be found no matter how much your obioma Dr did the sewing or is it not you that av been cuddling ur "big baby" in za oza rum, kontinu and be wearing orisirisi sex.ies lets see how you won't join team early 2018

I cover myself with the blood of Jesus

beyedew:
*Rolls on the floor laughing*
*laughter comes out in hiccups*
Ewo oo, Chim ooo. Don't worry, na here I dey dey watch you. Sewing up the hole. Jinglessss. You will do and over do even, nobi only yikes na yanke .
*carries my flat ynash out biko and singing finally oooo, its about to go down*

I cover myself with the blood of Jesus

Sansa143:
That's wat jay dos tru out d day,na night b him mrn n daytime,his night but not always!

I now have enough breast milk to feed her but I'm still not able to express enough, if not I'd have gone to dump her for my sis so I can enjoy my sleep this night. But it's cool, what are mothers for

Naomi14:
You would have followed her to sleep too! That's what I did today cos the weather has been cold due to rain. So if she decides to play through the night no probs, we go play together.

I tried to sleep but stuff kept waking me

Towerofgrace:
Screwed by Giddydaddy or who

Don't worry she won't trouble you, so you can get screwed, hope the neither region is healed enough though

*** Runs out scratch that, flys out of thread b4 she pounces on me***

Lol you, I wanted to mention you here in the afternoon after I read your diary but I said lemme leave you. You would fall down then take your time to be getting up like a princess, you don't know this is the age of blogging. One day you would come on nl and see 'Fine girl crash lands in front of shoprite on her way from witchcraft meeting in Calabar

As for my nether region, it's all healed, just waiting for the thread to disappear. As for sex, yikes!!!! Never doing it again in my life. Yikes again!!!! I feel the need to cover myself with the blood of Jesus any time someone mentions sex around me. Hell no, not me, I'm done with sex!!! Shudders!!! I think the doctor even sewed up that sex hole thankfully cuz I can't find it again . He knew what was best for me.

Yesterday I was wearing a long tank top with no bra and just panties, that's how MIl saw me and started shouting that I should go and tie wrapper cuz if hubby sees me like this and decides to 'kwa tuo mu' (push me down), nobody would blame him and she was serious o and angry. I sha went and tied the wrapper cuz the hubby sef had been looking at me one-kind all morning and me I'm not interested. Shudders again!!!

Naomi14:
Lol patience she will soon start that baby talk na u go tire sef because you must follow her and say it too! gaga googoo

I can manage that one for now, let her start first lol. My baby has literally slept all through the day, maybe she knows it's a rainy day. She slept by 10am, I've woken her twice to feed and once she woke on her own but every time she's gone right back to the long sleep. I hope this continues through the night if not I'm screwed tonight

I'm bored, my baby sleeps too much, when is she gonna start talking and playing

Chanbaby:
Guess who is 3months old today My baby Jed. God has been faithful to me. He sleeps so well at night but wakes up every 3hours to eat , after eating he gives me a satisfactory smiles and goes back to sleep. Exclusively breast fed and weighs 7.5kg. The first baby that took penta and didn't cry all day but frowned for 3hrs and started smiling when he felt better.

Wow he does look exclusively breastfed. Fine baby

hunniesuzie:
Wrap cotton wool around your finger. Pour some water to soak it (bottled water oh) then swipe inside baby's mouth. Dr said I don't have to do it everyday. 3 times a week is fine.

Haha I tried this today and it was a fail. I did it when she was hungry cuz I thought that's when she would open her mouth but she just kept sucking on the cotton wool for the water. Maybe next time I'd try it after she's been fed

jaysmama:
Don't I just envy you. I am here alone with my 3 sojas 4 months old,3 yrs and 8 yrs. Nobody to do omugwo. Some days it's like my enemy wan escape just run. I respect my mum seriously now.

Lol you have experience nah. I'm thinking this is just my first-timers luck, my mum couldn't make it, if she could, that would have been real heaven.

@Sansa, express and leave him for his dad five hours at night

Ok thanks

hunniesuzie:
No oh. It's also quite common in babies as a result of milk residue in their mouths

Speaking of milk residue, is it ever too early to clean their mouths/tongue, how do you do it

Sansa143:

Hian, I think it's too much breastfeeding, me I'm constantly ordering room service in my house like I'm in a hotel and water too, I ask them to bring it in big Eva bottles cuz cups don't go anywhere and I've to have water beside me 24/7. My baby eats soooo much and she's still rejecting formula, she gets better at rejecting it everyday lol.
