Tnx Vivian I really appreciate wot u av done,I'll check but pls i will need other list of very good sch so that I can av options...

My sister is askin whch area of town do u want.Sh mentioned expensiv schools but I told her u hav 300k for ur 2kids so sh said d fees depends on d class.Sh said ABC Int'l at Utako is vry good&d price is reasonable.Sh said u shld drive around Abj&observe d sch environment;d teachers&d students.Then u negociate prices&mode of payment.My cousin's kid is in Redeemer teap int'l at Garki&i knw 4sure dat wen 2him on d phone,he flows well.He's just 6.Tak a step ist.U'r soundin so nervous.D most important thng is dat u hav 2b involved in ur child's learnin too.D teachers can do littl but u'l do d greater work by teachin him his homework,gettin a private tutor 4wkend lessons&so on.It doesn't stop at enrollin dem in a good sch alone.

omogemi: @jade i got sma follow-on for my baby yesterday. i just realised it was d fake one i used to buy for her b4 i switched to frisogold1. apart from the price, this milk dissolved well unlike the previous which did not.

U c?Frm wot u described,I observed it too.Myn wasn't dissolvin well&after takin it,her tommy wil pain her then nxt,sh'l poo.D poo wil b full of seeds lik d milk didn't digest.OMG.I discarded d shit. I'l advice mothers 2google "Fake SMA Gold"&read d article published by NAFDAC.They told us how 2spot d difference btw d original&d fake SMA gold.They'l even realize dat there're so many fake SMA in d markt.They said somone imported a full container of it frm China.Even Huggies pampers.D fake is so much in d markt.Chei! Naija

demmykay: M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ 6mths plus is having tempreture, am suspecting teething I took him to d hospital nd he was treated for malaria . His head is so hot, pls how or wat can I do to help him? He cldnt sleep well last nite

@demmykay;it might b teethin.My girl's teethin coms wit vry high fever (d head wil constantly b hot)&then d itchy rashes.since he's bn treated 4malaria,u can use Calpol (its sweet) but my paed prescribes ibuprofen syrup.Sh said it crashes d fever faster&true I prefer it 2dat stupid&expensive calpol.My opinion though but afta 5 days,it al goes away&d teeth erupts

My dear I no go lie 2 u I am so confused,I don't know what to do i want my children 2 be speaking'i wanna,wanna' but d money plenty.Right now I seriously need a financial advisor pls if anyone knows who I can talk to or their site..

I no go lie.Good sch is d passport 2d future.My husbnd's nephew cam 4holiday in my house;inshort I can't describe my academic disappointment in him.His spoken english na apology then Spelling=3/20 whil my 4yr old neice can spell 2a certain extent.What is photosynthesis?he doesn't knw.That's 2mention but a few.Somone abt 2enter Secondary Sch.I was forced 2enroll him 4summer lesson.I wonder d standard of sch he attends.Geeeeez

Honiepie24: hello pretty mummies,who missed me,lol,@zinny its difficult gettin helps dez dayz,bt i suggest u google for organisation that get house helps 4 ppl,it depends on d state u liv,some of these privately owned ngo's r quite good,wit nice services too.

My sister;these agencies dat bring nanny,they'r cut-throat.My anty is usin one.Sh got it around Surulere wher sh stays.Pays 30k per month.D guy coms in d mornin 8am&goes by 7pm&doesn't work on Sundays.He coms 2clean d house,goes 2markt atimes,cooks atyms&dat's it.My anty's sons ar stil livin wit her.They go 2work frm her hous but they wil neva do anythng.That kind of expenses pisses me off.

zinylizzy: hi mamas.good work y'all. i'l soon start work and will be doing night duties ans weekend duties. my baby is 9 months old.will I be able to get a nanny dt will look after my baby nights and weekends when i'm at work? hubby is not around now.getting a live in househelp has been difficult. my mum is still working

I wish u prepared earlier b4 startin ur nyt duty.My sister inlaw is doin her housemanship.Sh's always on cal even at nyt.Sh was lucky 2hav gotten a 40 somthng year old widow thru a church member&d nanny stays wit d kids whil sh goes 4nyt&wkend call.Sh pays her just 10k&is livin wit her although sh's lazy.Mayb due to arthritis but atleast,sh's helpful 2a good extent.Talk 2church members&ur customers in d markt.Even if u can get a smal girl,u can b goin 2work wit them if its allowed wher u work.But if u'r interested in d agency dat helps get nannies;I can get d info frm my anty 4u but d price is d thng.I wish u d best.

fearless07: Hello mommas in d house. U ladies are doing a great job. Pls it is necessary to give my 4month old son teething powder. My cousin suggested it but am a bit skeptical about it cos my son is ok,he only drools. Thanks.

My darl,pls don't giv any teethin nonsense.I started givin my baby teethin powder at 2mths cos sh was droolin saliva&they said it was teeth whch had no effect on d droolin.Then at 3mths,my anty said I shld b givin Piccan dat it'l suppress any teethin wahala so I started givin til sh got to 5/6mths.Each piccan I buy is 1800 o.My dear,afta sh has taken abt 4bottles or so,my husbnd said bcam apprehensive&said I shld go&confirm wit d paed if al these chemicals were ok 4a child of dat age.Alas,my paed screamed at me sayin how can I place a smal child on a drug for dat long compromisin d kidneys&liver.Since then,weneva anybody or relation advices me on any shit;I don't listen.I confirm wit d paedo ist.My paed said wit teethin,u treat symptomatically.If teethin brings fever,u giv fever drugs&so on.It causes stoolin,u replace fluid.There's no such thng as prevention

demmykay: @jade, honiepie nd humminbird me sef sign in for dis famly planning stuff Oº°˚. Belle must not enter now cos e no easy. Make I discuss wit dh first, but des side effect got me thinking

tjskii: @warfi and wendy

I think d iud is actually d best(though some of my frendz wey dey use am,talk say dia husbandz dey feel d rope and som of d men no lik am),it was wat I actualy planned on using from d begining,only that my doc discouraged me cos I recently had a cs,so d solution for me now is that I'll wait for bout 2mnths(enuf time for d wound to heal) to insert d iud,befor d 2mnths reach,na to find spermicide buy na,belle musnt enter now o

U'r so funny.So u can even hav s*x within 2mths afta a Cs?Afta my normal delivery,2mths sef,my vajayjay na no go area.I fordged dat they gav me a cut durin d delivery&dat d dr said it'l tak ova 2mths 2heal.There're other ways 2satisfy ur patner though.I think d IUD is good eventhough my sister said d hubby complained he's feelin it.Let d men even feel it so dat it'l mak d sex less frequent.U'l nurse baby until ur whole strength is zapped then u'l nurse husbnd too.Egbami o

veronix: Please my fellow mothers, I nid advice on wat 2 use 4 d rashes on my baby's face and neck.

Walai;ori is good o.I used it recently wen my baby had teethin rash,even d hydrocort cream did little 2cure d rashes;I got ori,mixed it wit visitaplus&sudocream.OMG.Her skin is now glowing.I also apply rising power wen sh has rashes.Nycil is good too

Abeg,my fellow mothers,mak una no yab me o.Who can teach me how 2prepare hot water peppersoup for mothers dat just delivered.My frnd is presently in labour so I hav 2prepare dat stuff for her.I'v gotten chicken;sharky;cord stockfish hand;trachea&goatmeat.I hav no idea how 2prepar dis stuff&if I ask my mum;it'l mak 6 O'Clock headline news sey I no sabi cook

degurl: This topic has been over flogged on Nairaland and Nestle representative have written to Seun to remove our fears.

If you witnessed a case where a child was harmed due to eating golden morn cereal, then by all means report to appropraite institution.

My sister.I tire o.

tjskii: Ow does one know original sma o,first time I'm hearing therz fake of it,God go help us in dis country

darl;google it.Read d post by NAFDAC.That's where i got my info and wen i compare wot i read 2wot i bought;alas,it was d fake one.I printed it out but its so much dat i can't post it here.

Hummingbird: @ jade,tnx dear...hubby dsnt wnt to travel bt my dear,I nid breathing space(wish I can travel n leave dem n hubby alone) bt its nt possible again..like criously,d babies are nt givin me a hard time,I jst wnt to go home never bin dis far away frm home

Don't b worked up.Go wit ur intuition ok? He who wears d shoe knws where it pains worst.

bunlizlaw: .He didn't specifically mention a reason for introducing SMA Wysoy.Although I once complained that baby farts a lot and gets fussy and agitated when b.feeding.Also,Can I give her cerelac too?

Ar u sure sh's not havin colic?dats y sh farts&gets fussy cos som children hav colic til they're 4mths.Myn did.Pls hold back wit d cerelac for now.Its for older children but there're cereals that're for 4mth olds but start wit d milk ist;if sh tolerates it,we can suggest cereals dat're for 4mth old under ur peado's supervision&lik my paed adviced me 2use milopa,whch was good 4her&now my sister is givin it 2her 4mth old baby cos he refused BM at 3mths.Pls slow&steady ok?Start wit d milk for now.meanwhil,I hope u'r not on any weight losing drugs or tea cos d way u'r hammerin on d weight,I'm just wonderin.don't worry.ur baby wil b fyn

ify's world:
welldone jade welldone. U re really making dis thread lively. Keep it up, am learning. May God bless us all and give us wisdom and knowlegde to run our homes. Womanhood no easy, lots to worry about... Childcare, home management, husband care, fp, domestic staff wahala, daycare wahala, finance cum personal upkeep. Abeg jor, ladies we re too much. Thumps up to us.

My dear o.This one is mothers' forum.Thumbs up 2us al.Wen we're doin fastin&prayin 4our BFs 2propose 2us or 4us 2get husbnds,nobody prepares us 4motherhood&children of nowadays ar so choosy&demandin.God wil help us&show us d way joor

Hummingbird: so can't I get them anoda paeditrician dia or its nt advisable?? I rily nid a helping hand befor pesin go run craze ooo

U can get good paediatricians esp in govt hospitals.my sister went 2missionary hosp,sh cudn't get rotavirus&they told her d penta contains HIB&rotavirus.i don't knw if its true though).I wish u'l giv dem d 6wks vaccination b4 u guys travel but incase u can't;God wil mak a way 4u ova there.U no go crase IJN

Hummingbird: they are fine o,was jst thinking I should go cos my aunty dat cam to do 'omugwo' has gone bk to her base so I nid someone to help me..so can't I get them anoda paeditrician dia or its nt advisable?? I rily nid a helping hand befor pesin go run craze ooo

Angel;u hav 2go dear.U can't tak care of d twins al alone orelse u'l break down.C wot u suffered few wks ago;Bp 160/90 (if I remember right).Fell sick&wit al d drugs& treatment,u weren't gettin better.U need help.My sister travelled 2go&stay wit mumsy wen her baby was just 8wks cos sh was goin crazy&wit d 2other kids on holiday?I dey tel u;if I eva hav twins;na mumsy house I go live o til they get 2d age of creche cos there're lots of helps there;frm church members dat leak her feet cos sh contributes wholly 2d group to grandaunties.Abeggi;u can go but my sister's husbnd was d one dat drove o.They didn't fly cos I don't knw abt flyin even though my collegue just cam back frm USA wit her 1mth old baby.I don't knw abt Naija air regulations.Pele my sweet mother.U'l live 2rip d fruit of ur hard labour.Nothing wil consume u&ur DH IJN

bunlizlaw: According to the Paed,when introducing formula to a baby who has,so far,been exclusively b.fed,it's good to give SMA Wysoy.She has no negative medical history except the slow weight gain.

Wow.Mayb sh's right o cos d good drs attend seminars&conference 2update their knwoledge.I wish I saw ur post b4 goin 2c my baby's paedo 2day;I wud hav asked her abt dis just 2get a 2nd opinion.If sh said u shld use it;then use it.Probably afta a while,u can ask her if u can change her milk.D good drs(esp d consultants) knw better ok? Cos they c&experiment on a lot children.Thank God there's no underlyin medical condition.Use it first so dat ur baby's system wil master an artificial milk then u can change.Remember;u hav 2b takin less fluid 2prevent ur bosom frm bn 2full.Goodluck

Layolaw: the trend is becomin more interesting and superb, @ Jade thanks 4 your info. pleasee oo my baby is really battling with seriuos running nose and sometimes cough oo and i didnt expose her to cold, l've given vit c tired.

Catarrh associated wit cough is not good.Pay a visit 2ur paedo.Abeg if they tel u 2do chest xray,decline cos sh's 2smal.A dr prescribed xray 4my littl nephew of 4mths because of cough&catarrh.Ofcourse my sister declined&afta completin his antibiotic,he bcam perfectly well

$wtme:
i think we should also conduct an HIV test 4 our househelps b4 they start living with us cos children are involved....

Abi my sister.HIV;Hepatitis A&B;even TB te test.Then tak d little girls 4deliverance.A girl of 10yrs cam 4hols in my neighbour's house cos sh's an orphan so her uncles we're lookin 4whom 2giv her away to.Since d day sh 2cam 2dat hous,d kids hav bn sick esp wit stomach pain&vommitin.Kids dat were ok b4 o.Thank God my baby was goin 4summer lesson then cos likes goin there.I think d girl was possessed or somthng cos d woman had 2tak her back afta 3days&d kids becam betta.

bunlizlaw: Yes I wished to continue EBF till 6months but due to her weight gain,doctor had advised we complement with formula.Thanks for ur concern

Oh! Sweet! Now I understand.But lactose free milk doesn't add weight unless there's somone on dis trend dat it added weight 2her baby.My frnd used Isomil (lactose free)&d baby was lookin lik cos drs claimed d baby was lactose intolerant.One day,her intuition told her 2go&get Aptamil.Inshort u need 2c d baby wen sh started takin it.I think sh got fake SMA lik I got dats y her baby kept purgin.Lik I told u;if there's no medical condition worryin ur child;go back 2ur paed&ask her y sh recommended lactose free milk 4ur baby.Moreova does ur baby feed well?Is ur BM flowin well?How often do u feed ur baby&wot ar u eatin 2mak d BM nutritious?Don't worry sweets! Ur baby wil add weight IJN.If there's anyway we can do 2help;we'l throw more light to wot u can do.Goodluck

fearless07: @ william, thanks. U are a blessing to this thread. May God continue to bless u.

Amen o.Thanx dear.May God bless u too

bunlizlaw: Yeah, she takes expessed milk from the bottle right from birth.My question is how will I rotate the feeding plans as in bfeeding,water and formula?Thanks Ma.

My dear,u didn't state y u'r such in a hurry 2supplement wit artificial milk.Did sombody tel u dat its vry crucial or somthng?Since sh takes d expressed milk in d feeder,y don't u continue wit dat til sh's 6mths.
Anyway,abt rotatin it.Let her b taking breast at nyt,then wen sh wakes up in d mornin,u giv her artificial milk.I noticed it stays longer in d stomach than BM.If sh finishes 60-90mls,it can carry her for 3-4hrs then u giv her BM for her nxt meal cos ur breast wil b full&painful by then.U can giv milk for d rest of d day or once in d aftanun but u hav 2b takin less fluid orelse if ur breast is full,u'l b forced 2breastfeed more often but u hav 2breastfeed her al nyt.U knw dat u shldn't use milk dat's bn open for morethan 3wks.Its also written on d tin.Me wen I resumed wk,I breastfed only at nyt.Sh was takin formula durin d day.Although wen I com back frm wk,bosom wil b 2full,I'l express&giv dem 2giv d baby cos if dat one stays on d bosom,I won't rest.Anyway,goodluck but pls b washin&sterilizin urself.

Hummingbird: @ Jade pls wen can I start changing their sleeping position and sometimes m jst too tired to sit up and fed dem,especially @ nite,can I breastfeed dem wen lieing down

Of course dear,u can lie down&breastfeed but lik somone said on dis trend,sh said d dr advised dat u shld elevate d head of d baby a littl whil BF in dat position.Wen I breastfeed whil lyin down,I place d baby's head on my elbow or on d baby's pillow&turn alittl 2face her.
My grandaunt used 2lie d baby on d side without a pillow til sh got to 2mths,we started lyin her on d tommy wit pillow on d head.
Other mothers on dis trend can giv us further suggestions too so dat we can learn

bunlizlaw: Yeah, she takes expessed milk from the bottle right from birth.The Paed said most babies tolerate SMA Wysoy and it doesn't cause constipation or diarrhoea.U're right,it contains soya milk and mostly for lactose intolerant babies.I hope to continue bfeeding her even after introducing d formula.My question is how will I rotate the feeding plans as in bfeeding,water and formula?Thanks Ma.

I guessed right cos anythng written Soy (means soya).I knw my frnd used Isomil whch is for lactose intolerant babies too but her baby wasn't lookin chubby so wen sh switched to Aptamil,com&c d babe.But come o.Wot made her prescribe lactose free milk 4ur child?Is there any medical history behind it?If ur baby's not stoolin then y prescribe dat brand of milk?I tried dat Isomil for my girl wen SMA gold purged her&sh refused takin it.Anywhere d dr knws better but I'l lik u 2ask her y sh shld recommend such milk&unless sh gives u solid reason,pls give ur baby normal SMA/NAN or u can get a 2nd opinion frm another paed so dat sh doesn't grow up 2b lik me dat's lactose intolerant.Lactose is good if u can tolerate it

[quote author=fearless07][/quote]My darl.Wot do u want me 2say? As 4me,d baby can do without dat cos sh's 3mths.Wen my grandaunt used 2bath my baby,afta bathin d baby,my husbnd wil run&tak d child frm her because of d gymnastics(copyin ur language).Sh'l massage,throw her up,put d baby upside down;twist d hand 2d back,d leg wil touch d fore head; then u need 2c d burnin hot water they use on d poor baby.I was just countin days 4her 2go.We cudn't oppose cos u knw sh's an elderly woman but afta al dat,d baby wil sleep eh! There's a position sh lays d baby (on d side supported wit somthng).My dear,wen sh left(baby was 3mths by then),my baby stopped sleepin.That was wen I even noticed sh had al these colic.I wonder wot my grand aunt was doin 2stop it for me not 2hav noticed d colic al d while sh was around. I realised al those thngs had its own positive effect so since ur MIL su shld do it,do o.Unles u'l send ur husbnd 2tel her dat its not necessary but it shldn't com frm ur mouth b4 they'l tag u disrespectful

Hummingbird: Hello mummies,pls can I travel wit my babies nw,dey r 6weeks plus..I nid to go n visit my MIL,op dey arnt too young for me to move them(I mean d weather,water,environment)

Hello beauty.How ar d twins?&how's ur health&bp? I hope u'r better now.More grease 2ur elbow dear.Takin care of twins is not an easy job.But b4 u travel,let dem get their 6wks vaccination includin d rotavirus.Goodluck

fearless07: Hello mummies in the house.My MIL visited yesterday and was saying I should still b bathing my baby d traditional way ( twisting and gymnastics ). I felt my mum has done all dat. My question is, is it still necessary bathing baby this way, cos I don't know how to twist ).

LMFAO

omogemi: @Jade pls
i m well kid multivitamin. Is it advisable to stop since she's beginning to eat gradually now. Also is custard powder good for babies?
Sorry i m asking so much @ once.

As for multivite,I'l advice u stop givin d vitamin cos my paed just told me 2day dat d recent conference sh attended,research has shown dat 2much&prolonged use of multivites in children causes bone tenderness.That they're adviced 2giv multivites only wen necessary for a certain period of tym.Sh said u can giv a particular vitamin only wen necessary.So sh said if ur child is not eatin,u can giv Bcomplex for just a few days cos multivit contains so many different combinations of vitamins.Na dat one I hear 2day.U knw anyone I learn,I com&post here

Layolaw: Thanks Jade, l've goten the 7 seas codliver oil because l ask my paed and she said its realy good for baby

@Layolaw its good u'v gotten d codliver oil.My baby doesn't lik d taste so I usually add it 2her pap(one cap) 2xs a day.D Frisogold milk is very good
