Aite...thnk you but I stil nid to know what I can do about the hiccups

Jade William: @Hummingbird.My dear;I think d boy dat doesn't tak d BM just doesn't lik it.There's nothin wrong wit d BM since d other twin is takin it.Evry child coms wit its own characteristics.My nephew out of nowhere just stopped takin BM.He'l spit it out or throw it up.U'r lucky he's takin&toleratin d Aptamil.If u keep tryin 2giv d BM&he refuses 2tak it,then u hav 2settl 4artificial milk alone 4him&continue breastfeedin d other twin.Its just d palavar of wakin up at nyt 2prepare milk but u hav 2try ok?Although I noticed artificial milk last longer in d tommy than BM so he won't wake up morethan 2/3xs 2feed him at nyt.Just keep evrythng handy&sleep at d outer side of d bed.FYI;u'r not lazy.Its not eazy takin care of twins.I hail u dear.I don't knw if I hav ur kind of stamina or energy.If I had or hav twins

@ Jade,I always wonder y u ddnt study medcine and specialize in gynecology and obsterics (its never too late sha)
My boy showed me weeeen ,now when I giv him aptamil,he first uses style to taste it first ..(Who said babies are not wise),then if its the formula,he would take it
I jst boil water inside the flask @ nyt,then tell hubby how to prepare it,yesternite he mixed the formula as thick as custard ,when I woke I almst screamed,I have decided to measure it inside a cup with lid so he can jst mix and give them..that will be much easier
Then my boy has rash like tin on his 'kokoro',I decided to air his bum and added powder, bt what else can I use?
Also his brother is always hiccuping,too much for my comfort.....plus I heard babies sleep routine changes after some weeks,mine stil slip all tru d day,and we always on vigil @ nyt?

To my wonderful dad,you are the best dad..,my first love,my mentor,teacher,you are indeed a blessing to me dad...I love you

To my wonderful dad,you are the best dad..love you

Good evening mothers,please one of my boys has refused to suck my breastmilk ,I even tried expresing the milk inside the bottle,the moment he tastes it,he stops taking it :' even when I force the milk into his mouth,he stores dem in his cheecks and throw it out and his brother can suck me dry ..I normally give them formula during the day and I breasfeed @ nyt(cos am to lazy to mix formula @ nite),I believe if dias somtin wrng wrong wit d breastmilk,his brother wnt be taking it,I dnt knw wat to do

Madam tskjii,how are you? Aos my my big roborobo? . Rily mised u here got lots of questions for you oooo..shd I send mail

Madam tskjii,how are you? Aos my my big roborobo? got lots of questions for you oooo..shd I send mail

missmishel: Helow mothers. God bless u all. i introduce aptamil to my baby this morning. although am not stoping breastfeeding, but want to have an alternative when am not around. pls can someone using it enlighten me how to take the measurement? i dont get the one writen at the back of the pack pls.
should i give him water now that he's taking baby food other than breast milk?
since the instruction says no storing, can i use hot water from the flask each time i want to feed him? pls just come and tell me how you do ur own.
does ur baby react negative to it at first?

I use a flask. I boil the water wait 30 mins (I use a timer) then fill the flask. So when I need to make a bottle I just pop the water from the flask into the bottle then add the formula then pop the bottle in some cold water to cool. It takes about the same time to cool a bottle as it does to heat it up. Its so simple and staying within the guidelines.
I will redo the flask a few times throughout the day. I throw it away after 2hrs cos dats d instruction(cos dia's risk of bacteria growing in it)....you have to be very hygenic wen dealing with bottle fed babies
As per water,I think you start givin him little too,he's eating already,aptamil is only close to natural milk,it isn't breastmilk
As per the measurement,for me it depends,my babies love it watery..its ur choice though,you can decide to add more or lessen the stated measurement and the quantity of water matters too
Plus you shoudnt refrigerater,after 2hrs jst pour a way,dats y u shdnt mix d formula until its close to its feeding time.
My babies didn't react to it cos I started giving them formula from birth(am nt too lucky with breast milk) though I started wit Nan1 but ever since av started aptamil,dey av bin okay n lookin chubby that people dnt believe if I say they are just 2mths old

What some women dnt understand is that you can never take the position of a mother's place in a son's life..my MIL is a cool person bt always cold towards me,I thought she didn't like me at first until I started going closer to her,its her nature,nt that she's holding any grudges against me,she rarely talks to me when am around her,but the moment any of her children comes in,she's still cold,so that's her behaivour...am nt suporting the husband going to his mother like a nursing child seeking for advice everytime,he's grown up and married now,he should stop being the mama's boy and the wife should draw her MIL closer,you can't study people from afar,get closer to her,then you will know her better,do that before you draw conclusions(even she's a bad woman,she's stil ur hubby's mother,you no fit c wia to push her oooo

udoka2: @chiejik
take heart dear, the Lord will replace your loss in a big way.

@Audrey
cyclogest is abt N4,500. I cant remember the cost of duphaston but not N8k as hummingbird said, its in the neighbourhood of 3k.
I have two packs of cyclogest to give away...we can arrange for collection if you are around Victoria Island.

u knw dey come in difrent mg,we have 200mg,400mg so I ddnt knw d one she got

smokey drinky: oh ok, i will.

uw dear

chiejik: Thank you all will be going for evacuation this morning.thank you all for for your prayers.

sorry about ur loss dear..may God suprise u soonest

smokey drinky: amen. tnx ruky, im taking things easy. its well.



ok. i already stopped yesterday. ll stick to ventolin henceforth. control breathing, how?
amen, i know God is in control. i ll have easy deliver

aite,that is good,what I mean by controlled breathing is trying to make short bt deep breath wit ur mouth and not ur nose,you shd only start dat in ur third trimester bt if u aren't comfortable with the pratise,PLEASE stop and don't engage urself in any stressful tin maybe like dancing too much or exercises u r nt comfortable with,,I tot I was going to av an attack during labour bt I didn't and I gave birth to my two boys naturally witout any breathing complications..there's nothing to be worried about

smokey drinky: amen. tnx ruky, im taking things easy. its well.

Audrey I: Hi ladies. Can anyone who used Duphaston and Cyclogest give me the price? Is it readily available in pharmacies in Nigeria? Thanks ladies, and a safe delivery to all.

cyclogest 400mg shd be arnd #3000 while Duphaston shd be arnd #8000(10mg 30 tablets) dunno if they have in pharmacies here cos the person I asked said she got hers frm someone in the Uk..but I tink all dis big ferlity centers/pharmacy shd av

omogemi: i took her to her pediatrician today for him to see d rash and it was comfirmed measles. i was told hers' is quite mild. she was given inj and drugs (pcm and i think Pedesolone- dont knw if i got it ryt) and told me to complete d amoxil i was given. but d inj part i asked d doc why she was given and he said its to help prevent pnemonia and eye and ear infections which measles can cause. a friend of myn said i shouldnt have let them give her. i wonder why afterall i m not a doctor. na make my baby dey kampe.

I dnt tink dey give injections for measles,bt d main koko na fr her to b ok.

smokey drinky: not coz of the pregnancy. im asthmatic and pregnancy is triggering the attacks so i ve to take my medications regularly.

u shd stop d franol please,m asthmatic too,wen a doc gav me franol hubby was really mad @ I'm cos I almst slump whch cud av lead to a misscarriageI tink ur ventolin inhaler shd be enuf for u except if u av severe attacks and learn how to control ur breathing nw cos of labour and stay away completely frm tins dat trigger ur attacks..its well with u n ur bby

I wish they never did,but I wil always wish my dad to be my dad if there's another world coming

Jade William: Lol.U knw sh was in labour 4long&they didn't allow her 2eat al thru yestaday incas sh ends up in Cs.Me eh! Afta I pushed out&was taken 2my room,I whack serious shawamar then shortbread&hollandia yoghurt.Inshort dat sharwamar is another baggage of fat cos I was eatin it consistently&cudn't go down.U need 2c me 6mths afta I gav birth.I was so bloated dat ppl were askin if I'm pregnant again.Chei

looolll, I dnt eat much o,rily lost my apetite for food,something I remember I avnt taken breakfast by 2pm,n its getting me worried,m losin weight..n dos boys are sucking me dry..

Jade William: My sister o.I no fit talk.I'm d one dat was stressed.Stil cam back dis mornin 2do my normal chores.Just finished cookin stew now.I don't knw if d pepper soup was good o cos sh just ate d meats&left d water ther.I'v tried joor.I brought pap in d flask&also thngs 4tea 4her.Let her manage dat one for now.Sh might b discharged 2moro.Sh's a strong lady.I think d nature of her job made her strong.

I feel for her now..to start eating now,she's strong..during my own time, I cudnt eat..may God be with her and her LO..and thanx for taking gud care of her

Jade William: My dear,they were monitorin d heartbeat of d baby.I reasoned wit her.If sh does CS,nobody 2tak care of her&d baby.Sh's an orphan&sh only has father inlaw&her only sister inlaw is a banker.Vry busy&sh's not even married so wot does sh knw abt takin care of a baby.I just figured dat if sh ends up in Cs,sh'l hav post delivery depression or High bp.I thank God her faith worked out 4her.

am happy for but this kind of faith is risky o,she was endeagering the baby's health..I knew the baby wil be weak on delivery..Olorun a woo,Olorun a dasi oo..rily wish I can take dis pepper soup of yours ooo

PweetyJay: thats scary. I see pics of these baby carriers that lets you carry both babies. 1 infront and the other behind. That leaves both hands free right?. How do you make out time for yourself? . I can’t shooooooout!!!!!!!!!!

in Nigeria,if you use the carrier,you'll see how people wil stare at you so I ddnt even bother buying since am mobile...and carriers dnt rily make ur hands free cos u wil nid to pack a bag of necessities

My sister its not as easy as people think it is oo..imagine am still up by this time of the day dancing azonto for my babies..they are seven weeks old,identical boys..its not easy at all especially if they are your first issues and you don't really get help..from bathing for 2 babies in morning(heaven helps you if you have a 7am appointment)..like if I nid to get to the clinic,after I park,I wil have to back one,carry one wit the bag whch contains diapers,formulas and feeding bottles)..they don't really disturb me during the day,but at night(OMG) you need to see them,sometimes when they start crying ,hubby will jst tell me 'go inside,you need rest' but as a mother,the shrilling cries will never let me rest,so I av to come back and pet,dance,feed...I sleep for like 3hours,by 6am,am up already to prepare breakfast..I will continue to see something to do till night comes calling and I start my night watch again....as per the feeding,I breastfeed n giv dem formulas too(I cnt let dos boys suck me dry)...plus the cost ooo,always double...as per the pregnancy and labour,its nt easy oo,pushing two babies out within mintues..na God sha but I think one baby @ once is less stressful but twins are wonderful,I get special attention carrying two babies @ once dressed in the same clothings,people calling iya ibeji and eulogising them...its fun and interesting

Jade William: Abeg I don dey go my house joor.I don tire.Weneva or woteva d outcom is.jits til mornin.Som women can b stubborn.They go on internet&read jaggon.Sh said on net,they said ist timers stay 24-48hrs so lik sh said sh's not upto 24hrs yet.Me,I don jan joor

abeg leave d woman jare,labour never catch her jare,during my time,I was one pleading for CS...op dey r monitoring d baby's heartbeat sha,mayb she dsnt knw she's endangearing d baby's life
