We all face life differently. May we all overcome our challenges, I’m currently facing mine this period and it seems things are not going to get better but we keep hoping and struggling.
Pls Nairalanders, I need Job, formal or informal. I studied Health Information Management in the University and I lives in ilorin, Kwara state.

Good morning sir and ma here.
I am a graduate of Kwara state university with second class upper in health information Management. I lives in ilorin and I’m open to relocation as well.

Good evening everyone, pls what could cause a pinching sensation in the stomach and also stomach feels hard sometimes.

This is what I got

Good morning everyone and prospective corps members, the anticipated date to start registration has been released as 02/08/2023 for graduates whose name has been published on their respective institutions senate list.

Fineire:
Hello mama.I feel the things you can buy which cuts across all gender ranges from; baby clothe hanger(dryer), water flask, diaper, body lotion,soap,diaper,wipes, towel, wash towel(baby sponge),baby carrier,diaper bag.I rest my case.

Thank you

jjaney:
Diapers (buy one pack newborn, 2 packs size 1 and one pack size 2, to get you through that first few weeks. Then buy according to size after). newborns can go through 8 diaper changes daily (!!!! ) and boys pee more, but don't buy too many because you can't predict size of your baby and you don't know quickly they will grow (I've seen a baby go from newborn to size 2 in 3 weeks). so at least 1 or 2 pack of newborn diapers will hopefully last you for a week and if your baby still needs newborn, buy weekly. If after it finishes your baby needs size 1, at least you have 2 packs at home to give you time before having to run to the supermarket or market to buy more.

Baby wipes: look for the unscented ones, less likely to irritate skin.

Diaper rash cream: Sudafed is what all my sisters used (especially the one who is a pharmacist). But try and change your baby once it gets wet so it's not sitting in a wet diaper that ends up causing diaper rash.

onesies (if you're in Nigeria, get the sleeveless or short sleeved version. Do the same, one pack of 5 newborn, a one pack size 0-3).

try not to buy too many newborn sizes as babies grow like beans (very quickly). Even better, inherit some from others (I just got a lot of onesies and newborn clothing from someone whose baby has outgrown hers, so I didn't bother buying clothes).

Same with clothes and shoes, try not to buy too many until 3-6 months (God knows how many times I have been driven insane looking for one leg of baby shoe or sock that fell somewhere. And it wasn't even my own pikin sef grin ) get a few mittens until your liver is strong enough to file or cut those really sharp baby nails (because they will scratch their faces).

Receiving blanket, a few caps and some wrappers for swaddling. Ejoor look for really thin wrapper (the old type they sold was better and cotton, a breathable fabric which means less heat. So raid a parent's cupboard for their old wrapper). Or buy muslin swaddle blanket (size 44"x44" minimum).

Burp cloths: I don't like the terrycloth ones (those ones that look like towels) because they don't absorb well. Instead get the cotton clothe diaper (that rectangular fabric that's thick). Works like a charm and sometimes cheaper.

Do you have a car? If yes, get a car seat (convertible preferred over infant but you will most likely find infant more in Nigeria). Chicco and Graco make good brands.

It's upto you to decide if you want to buy pacifiers. One pack should be fine.

Bassinet and cot: if you can also inherit this from someone, do (they tend to be pricey). If not, just buy a travel bassinet and remember some babies hate cots (though eventually you will want your bed back and kick the baby out to their cot).

Towels: don't buy baby towels, they are usually very thin and stay damp longer and breakdown faster (mine was from Mothecare). Preferably buy regular very soft towel (100% cotton) which will last longer. Same with washcloth.

lots of small nylon bags and big trashbags for diaper disposal and a pack of Baking soda and a good dustbin with a lid. When you dispose of dirty diapers, use a good bin with a tight cover and sprinkle some baking soda at the bottom of the dustbin (this helps to trap odours). At the end of the day, you tie up trashbag and take it outside (instead of constantly running after every diaper change to fling it).

Baby set: please look for one that has nail cutter, thermometer, comb, nasal pump, baby medicine spoon, nail file. Avent sells one like that.

No need for stroller, especially if in Nigeria. Which road is not dusty and uneven unless you're in the mall. Get a baby carrier (Bjorn makes good ones, they're expensive but I inherited my sisters own 10 years later. Quality is cheaper in the long run).

Diaper bag: lots of decent ones out there (I got a messenger bag type so my hubby could carry it, my sister used a strong backpack). Look for one that has changing pad inside it.

Olive oil and Shea butter for body cream rather than baby body creams. I hear most of the Johnson's on the market is fake and at least Shea butter is cheap, natural and does a beautiful job, same with olive oil.

Baby wash

Bibs (look for one size fits all).

Treated mosquito net

Bouncy chair and activity gym (so you can keep your baby somewhere if you need to have your hands free, like when bathing or cooking or just watching tv or answering the phone. Activity gym is for when baby starts rolling, put it on the floor (because I'm tired of hearing stories like "my baby rolled off the chair and fell on the floor, should I go to the hospital?? ".

an electronic sterilizer set (microwave) because all the doctors in my house dislike sterilizing tablets. But it is your choice sha. Avent makes one sterilizer set that comes with feeding bottles so no need to buy any more.

Plastic spoon and plate (but you won't need this for a while).

Are you breastfeeding, pumping or doing formula?

Please don't dress your baby up more than you. If you feel hot, your baby feels hot (even faster). If you feel cold, your baby feels cold (even faster). So unless you're constantly in an a.c. on blast, ejoor let your baby relax and use less clothing. Yes, Mama Nkechi or Mama Teni will have all sorts of unnecessary and unwanted advise to give you, but please listen to your common sense more.


That's the basics. As time goes, you will need more and realise some stuff

**I got this from someone here some time ago, hope it helps.**

Thanks so much

Mobog:
Please Try to demand for hospital needs.. I think it is always written on the the hospital cards.

Thank you so much

Nice2023:
Madam,wait till atleast 5 to 6 months,then u will know where to focus on. If u buy unisex it will look like u have wasted money.

Scan is not upto 5k.
Pls,don't be in a hurry,I can see u are a first time mum.

Alright. Thank you

Good evening Mother’s and everyone here. Pls I need guide and advice on items and things to start buying for expecting baby whose gender is yet to be ascertain. It’s about 10 weeks now but I believe proper and informed awareness will make things a bit easier and comfortable. I just want to be guided and well informed

Nice2023:
U need to know the gender of ur baby before buying clothes.

For the price of things to buy,the market now determines the price and not anyone.

I might tell u 5k now,in few minutes it will change.

Take note of the above.

Oh. We are considering getting unisex items since the gender is still unknown

Thank you so much

Good evening everyone, please guidance and advice is needed on things to start buying while expecting a baby. The EDD is early next year but preparation and getting those items little by little will make things easier and more comfortable so there can be enough. Pls do include likely price of those item for proper awareness. Thanks.
I have seen a thread here on Nairaland on this topic but I couldn’t find it anymore after checking more than 15 pages in family section. I’ll be glad if link to such thread can be posted too.
(Asking for a sister)

Captainjack100:
Life is not fair. I can relate to all that. People will hardly check on you when they know you're not doing good. You just have keep the hope alive and not give up. Better days ahead is true
Watch those keeping distant getting so close. Then you have to make use of your wisdom

Thank you

Life generally. I have graduated from the Uni since October last year and nothing seems coming forth. I struggled so hard to see myself through my seasons in the university and now I’m emotionally drained. No job, I don’t keep friends, no relative is checking up and I’m gradually loosing my mind. Life indeed is not fair.

2dee:
@Jawalis, You might as well get in touch with that furniture guy. Don’t forget to let us know what he says!
Instead of stating ur price if interested, u’re here throwing shades!

Pls forgive me if my remark sounds offensive, believe me that I do not intend to be that way. I’m not interested in the furniture sir. Am just saying the price is a bit above board. Once again, pls do not pick offense by my harmless remark

Bobbyunitedfc:
200k??
U kidding right?

As in ehn. Some of us are greedy for no reason. Why on earth will you put this up for 200k? With that amount, I’ll get a good furniture who’ll make a nice design for me and not this

ravensckar:
I have since responded to your mail bro.

Alright

ravensckar:
You just passed my litmus test. I thought you'll flare up or attack me as most unserious graduates would have done. The truth is that English is dynamic, so we should continue to work on improving ourselves. You said you're a data analyst right? Do send me a pm, let me see in what capacity I can assist.

Don't lose hope brother! Help is on the way...

I sent you PM already sir. You can as well reach me on 081…67…95…97…94…

ravensckar:
If you can correct all the grammatical blunder in your post, I promise to hook you up with something manageable.

#No_Cap

PS- It beats my imagination how a supposed graduate cannot type an error-free sentence.

Please do help me if you have the means and capability

Oh. I feel bad about it and I appreciate your remark as well. Pls kindly call my attention to the area where I need to improve and correct me sir. Thanks

wittywriter:
In the meantime why not get or key into an online income means activity since you have access to internet and a gadget you can browse with.

Wittyness

I have made several attempts doing this but doesn’t work out. Maybe because I do not have someone to guide or mentor me. I have signed up on different webpages making attempts. Can you please be of help Sir. I’ll be grateful and dedicated

Good morning. I am an Health Information Management graduate of kwara State university, I lives in ilorin, I sincerely need a job and it does not matter if it is in a former or informer sector. I just want to earn a living and get busy. I don’t want to remain at home doing nothing and having all sorts of immoral thoughts.
