babythug:

The weather is extremely hot now so he will sweat a lot. Do you still layer him and cover with shawl and cap? One item of clothing and socks is ok for now. Even that socks sef I'm just considering his age!
Try and regulate the ac such that the room is cool like 23c should be fine. But position baby away from the direct effect of thep ac. Same with the fan too.

Thanks a lot. We don't layer anymore.i know the weather is so hot right now.cant wait for the rains. Every night we battle btwn heat and stuffed nose..*phew*.thanks God bless

Hello everyone.good job you are doing. May God keep our LOs. I have a 14 weeks old son that sweats a whole lot. Mostly when he feeds and also on d side of the body he sleeps on even if there is fan or AC. On the other hand.he doesn't tolerate fan.AC.breeze very well.his nose starts to get blocked immediately any of these is put on. This is really confusing to me.if I leave him without fan.his clothes gets moist . especially d sides he sleeps on.if I change d clothes for fear of him not catching a cold., he will sweat again as long as der is no fan or AC.on the other hand.his nose gets blocked almost immediately and he starts making uncomfortable noises. Altho it clears up within 10mins of taking me out of there...has anyone experienced this.which is worse heat or cold (altho heat leads to moist clothes) how can I handle this situation.its been going on since he was 3wks old. Pls HELP

Hi Fam,my first tym posting...started reading since july after i got my visa,read all 3 parts diligently.. So here goes my POE story...flew BA 28 nov @ 36 wks with my Sis and 2 kids,a copy of fit to fly was taken,my bags weren't searched. Flight was good. 4hrs Stop over at heathrow. Requested for wheelchair but didnt get any all thru the journey... Flight to L.A was looooooong.mostly whites on board. Fast forward to LAX queue wasnt too long, we were directed to the next CBP who asked what the relationship btwn us was. Asked me and kids to go back that he will only interview my sister.told us to wait for the next available CPB,but he apparently had noticed my belly... As soon as we got to d next CBP, he asked my sis to step back a lilttle so she wouldnt hear him and called d officer that was about to attend to us..telling him not to stamp me in cos i was preggy..he stamped my sis in shortly after... Back to my own CBP(very pleasant black guy)
Officer - why are you here
Me - brought my kids for Christmas vacation and also stay back to have a baby
Officer - exclaims to have a baby?
Me - yes
Officer - i see. How much do u have on you?Me - 9k,officer - any Dr correspondence? Me - Yes. Officer - does the 9k cover everything. Me - yes.
Officer - you know what.im gonna have to send you to an office to verify everything and check out the cash cos i cant do that out here.stamps my kids till may,the guy that was to take me to secondary was already there and kept muttering to himself that 'only in this country this kind of a thing happens and that change is coming soon' i asked him what kind of thing and he says for pple to come have their baby,i asked him if it was a crime. He just glowered angrily at me. Lol and took me in,i asked them to allow my kids stay with my sis. In the room there were about 40 pple,mostly asians and no other preggy...i thot i was going to be there for hours,got called by a female officer abt 10mins after..
She asked how much i had.how long i intend to stay.told her 7wks.asked how many months i was during my visa interview. Told her 3 months, asked if i told them about the pregnancy, told her No but i later sent them a mail,but i forgot to print it,would she like to see it on my phone she said Ok..she read the mail,gave me back my phone and said hope i know i shldnt take any govt aid which i nodded to. Then she started to type and type and type(wonder what she was typing for so long)when she finished she said i could go..note she didnt ask for the money or check any other doc apart from the mail on my phone. got to customs and guy asked me to fill another form to declare my money and my sis as one.(not a prob) i declared 18k in total. Our bags were not checked and we were asked to go. Fast forward to next day.opened an account with Wells Fargo which is free to operate for 2months(my exact duration of stay) or i can continue running d account free of charge with $1500 minimum balance or 10 transactions with debit card monthly..went for my Dr appointment and registered at the hosp as well . i want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed on this thread.some pple i pmed who responded nicely.Omary83,mamatobenna,Chenonye and Misen.
