Mothers: Pls do not give honey to infants especially when they are less than 1 year old. Honey is a natural remedy but also a source of bacteria to infants.

Hello mamas,my six month old plus that i just introduced solids to passes hard stool and he may even go like 3-4days b4 straining and passing the stool. I make sure i give him fresh orange juice mixed with water or mashed bananas every afternoon but he is still constipated. The foods i just introduced to him are pap,boiled egg,fish,mashed potatoes. I also give him water to drink though he doesnt like drinking water but i thought the orange should suffice. What else can i do to help him soften the stools? Thanks

The orange juice will not suffice. He needs to drink water by all means. Try sipping cups, bottles, spoons or directly from a cup. My son prefers to drink water from the cup like an adult. Some babies prefer spoon . He just has to drink a lot of water once he starts solids.

Mothers pls how can i help my baby to crawl comfortably ,he wants to crawl but all the floors in our house is tiled and am scared of putting him down.

No it won't hurt him. When he first starts to crawl, you might need to stay closely with him to avoid him rolling over but once he perfects the art of crawling, then you can give him more freedom. But then remember that you can never leave a crawling baby for too long, they tend crawl to places you least imagine and pick up all sorts as they are crawling by.

My oga I gentle oo. All this scam thread here and thread are just so annoying. Just making it difficult to trust folks doing business online. Anyways it is well.

Erhmmm abeg where is Molipa? To be very honest oo, have never been to my home town oo. Na omo lasgidi I be oo.


Antispam abeg no ban me again oo, I no even sabi wetin I do sef. Lol

Why naa madam taryour

damiso:
Yes naa

My parents (or more my mum) had this annoying habit of still throwing you deep in the trenches even while hiring paid help to get things done. She was 'training' me ni o . There will be Alase/ooooo there but you will still be asked to go and help them wash meat, take them to grind pepper,wash cooler etc.

Then you will distribute food to every house in the area. Then go and bring this go and bring that. The only good part of the distributing food was the 'kickbacks' you would get from some generous neighbours

oh Damiso, you remind me so much of my growing up days. I am feeling everything you are saying jare. Parties in my house was mixed feelings for me. Asides the errands, the cleaning up was just too tedious the only compensation was the eran dindin that never seem to finish.

damiso:

2CatWoman:
I don't understand it after all no one died from being bitten or mauled by a pet cat

Lol... it's the superstitions most of us grew up with and then, something about their eyes and creepy nature

But truly, it's largely unfounded

Congrats tehn!

@ kayjasper

She doesn't have any problem with her toasters, her only problem is her unstable mind.

If she has made a commitment to marry her fiancé but still has that "fear that she might mess up soon", then she needs to take a step backward and ask herself what she truly wants at this stage.

Some women who marry early feel miserable afterwards that they were not given enough time to "rock", hence, their whole married life is full of regrets which in turn affect their families. And in some extreme cases, they go out of their marriages to have this belated fun.

As much as she loves this guy and wants to marry him sometime, she should ask herself if that time is now. She needs to be cock sure she is ready to take the marriage vow to avoid a lifetime of regret.

Lol...You have one twin sister, her name is Cococandy.

Doubledouble:
Thanks for the advice, you made some good points. Truth be told wigs are safer than weaves n braids, IMO. Wigs are worn only wen u are going out...most ppl using wigs take it off when home. A good wig doesn't shed n u mostly comb it on its stand in the bathroom. You also get to wash both wigs n yo hair regularly unlike weaves n braids.
They all got disadvantages, it is all about being careful n hygienic. How often if at all do we was our braids?? Strands of the hair come off from the tips of braids too n now that is mega sharp. If we want no hair wahala at all, then one's natural hair is d way to go!
But honestly, thanks u made sense...cos now weaves, wigs or braids...am going to be more careful now...

I perfectly agree, I think short wigs make better sense for nursing mothers. It has enough flexibility. Thanks.

Sagamite:
Abegi!

There is rarely anything like "happily married". What you have is "contently married".

The whole happily married phrase is just a self-and-public-deceit term conjured up by delusional and dubious people who are avidly pro-marriage.

It is so rare, those that have it are possibly not normal.

I love to say it as it is.

Nothing wrong with "contently married" but no one should try and fooool me. I live my life being a completely independent and divergent thinker, who is comfortable being a contrarian to popular belief.

The whole world can be going one way and I will say "Fck it, I am going the other way". If you noticed earlier, I reminded cococandy that I was not a follow-follow person when I was talking about my Sagakids.

When are Sagakids arriving? Or has any arrived? Are they arriving outside or within the marriage institution? (I am not expecting any answers o)

You realise it's easier to impact them when you are still young, able and agile? At least speaking from my own experience, my older siblings say my dad had gone "soft" by the time I was born and I did not meet his "very disciplined" nature. And I hear and see the same trend around me.

MurderX:
Thank you kimoni. I appreciate the way you investigated his matter and your contribution. You will be blessed for showing kindness.

Thanks

thelish:
I feel in love with ur post. full of wisdom. Tank u

Thank you

I actually detest wigs but got no choice. My plan is to loose the hair piece a week b4 EDD, wash n matte, then do wig. Took 2 wigs: 1, very good human hair n closure was used to make it( will loose it from wig n continue fixing when back in 9ja), the 2nd one was made with chocolate hair. That way am totally covered...my hair is natural n don't want these "oyinbos" to ruin it.

Mamas, pls lets all be careful with wigs and weaves when we've had our LOs.

There are 2 many disadvantages -

- The hairs keep falling everywhere making the environment unsafe for babies
- if ingested by babies, they are sometimes poisonous(they come from different sources and go through several chemical processing)
- the strands could be very sharp (I have cut myself while pulling the hair many times)
- mothers with long weaves tend to cover the babies' faces without realizing it esp when we carry out LOs on our shoulders to belge
- when the hair gets dirty grow some dandruff, we scratch continuously and still go ahead to carry our LOs with the same hands.

Chinwendym:
I thought so too , which is why I microwave it for 3min before I eat, I'm guessing if the meat is properly coooked I can safely eat it and pepper won't harm my lo? Thanks for the response.

lol...pepper won't harm him

bellong:
I was with the gods... As usual, you failed to come, you have been missing lessons.

What's up?

The humans need me more now but I will come soon.

Actually, I have come to reclaim one of my promises from the gods.

My paper is somewhat ready, I need the eyes of the elders to take another look at it. I have often heard you say what an elder sees from a distance, the child standing on a ladder could never see it. I need to get my referencing right now. The promises have to be fully delivered this time around.

I have 2 moon days to give a final feedback. What say ye the gods? Pray the gods to accede to my request

Chinwendym:
You are welcome!

Abeg o I has a questions is asun good to eat in this condition? the way I am craving for that delicacy is outta this world but I'm scared of the pepper will it harm my baby? Its so peppery that I have to drink milk or yoghurt afterwards!

It's not the pepper you should fear, it's the meat itself. Avoid suya, asun or other smoked and grilled meat or fish. You need meat that is well cooked to avoid transfer of any stuff to your system.

cococandy:
That doesn't look unhealthy.

Maybe a little big in portion size.

Coco, pele...pls be safe (I nearly forgot). If you were in Naija now, I would have sent a driver to you. See yaself

Meanwhile, Iffffaa hear...what is not unhealthy?? Everything looks unhealthy about that bite except the leaves

I am sure Efe cannot eat it

I actually paid the 7k to the caretaker because at least a meal per day is sure here (from neighbours) which is not possible if I start living/sleeping in the classroom and I need to stay at Ife to løok for something to be doing.

Surprised now. Sent something through a friend which I didn't see up there. I have followed up and you should receive before COB.

@ rent - No issues. Good luck!

Aminat508:

Lol...why?

EfemenaXY:


It's an acquired taste, Dami.

Anyway, since chillisauce and Edwife have been feasting on deep-fatty-fried Akara and puff-puff balls since Sunday, lemme join them small. Will run it off tomorrow morning.

Tuna melt @ work!

***I know I should be eating my bananas instead...***

Bellong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pls who has seen him?

TV01:
That is complemetarity in behaviour/traits/attributes, as opposed to opposite in character. Afterall, there is another aphorism that states "we attract what we are" no? Elevation frees us from all the lower level situational/contextual laws/boundaries.

TV, it's the same thing jor, don't use big grammar to confuse me

Thanks, but it didn't require correcting - I used "men" in the genric human sense - Its implied in the second paragraph and I used people in my earlier response - I could have been clearer I suppose . I'll try harder next time. lest I fall foul of the law of unintended consequences !

TV

time to watch your back

Timbuktou:
Lol. Kimoni, the instruction is mostly exemplary, but there'll be verbal teaching no doubt. Train up a child in the way he should go is no weightless admonition. My son already knows to appreciate pretty girls and I didn't even teach him that. Now imagine how much better he'll be with my influence, I'm his god mirror, for now. He wants to do everything I do. I am his standard.

I'm sure you have an olosho friend or two and if not friend, someone you grew up with. How come they didn't influence you into oloshoism? I'm willing to bet someone did a good job training you. I'm also guessing they taught you how to identify quality men from the pretenders.

I will set tests, oral, written and practical for my sons and daughters, Kimoni . I'm leaving nothing to chance, and anyone bent on tarnishing the family name and legacy might just go swim with the fishes

Funny post Tim. Again, I agree, train up a child....

I corrected something in your first paragraph
