Lol. Honestly, I don't know how I cope. My husband has complained tire say na so so sleep I dey sleep during the weekend, I just don't mind him. I cannot come and die. I go work work from Monday till Friday. I will now be working again on Saturday and Sunday. Impossible cheesy

One thing I have learnt is "Do what you can and leave the rest." Do not overwork yourself. This morning, I when my alarm went off, I snoozed it and eventually woke up 45 mins later. I still had to pump and get myself ready, get the baby ready, drop the baby off and drive one hour to work. I just pumped and got ready, grabbed the sleeping baby like that and dropped him off at the sitter still in his pajamas. Make she dey deal with am like that. grin

Once you start work, try and do things the night before. Pack the baby's bottle, bag and your bag and paraphernalia together. You can even place them in the car too. Saves you time the next morning. Then try and sleep early, cos if you don't, you will be exhausted and that will slow you down the next morning. And will also make you sluggish at work as well. I don't eat breakfast so no need to make breakfast.

Get into a routine and with time it will be second nature to you.

I just think all these are propaganda. Trump is a great guy. They should just let him work. Were yhey all sleeping during the elections? Aren't these his campaign policies? So what's all the hullabaloo sef. Americans wanted him. Now they have him.
Nope. We don't want and we didn't vote for him. He actually lost the popular vote and is sitting in the White House due to the intricacies of the electoral college system and Russia (maybe)

It's all propaganda until someone or a loved one is affected. It's visa holders and Muslims now, next it might be anchor babies, green card holders and even Africans. #JustSaying

Hi Nairaland families, just got to Virginia for my child birth. At the Poe, I was asked how am going to make my payment on the delivery, I told them self payment but fortunately I got my cousins number in Newyork and he told me to deliver in Newyork so that the money will be removed from his health insurance which will just be$4,500. Is it advisable to use his health insurance for my childbirth bills? Hope their wount be any problem at the POE in the future. Thanks Nairalanders and God bless you all.
With the immigration issues going on in America right now, commuting insurance fraud is the last thing that should be on my mind. You told them self pay at the POE and I believe you had money to pay for your childbirth b fore you left Nigeria. Don't let a few thousand dollars bar you from future entrance into this country. Not worth the stress.

For the first time in 20 weeks, my lo has gone for 4 days without poo. He used to poo up to or more than 3 times a day before now. I know its normal to go that long without pooing but he grunts like he is trying to poo....I can't tell if he is just playing. Does your lo grunt too?
Sugah, long time babe. How have you been?
I thought I was the only one that still has a four month old that poops at least twice a day even though I know it's normal for them not to poop everyday while on breastmilk. My baby is a master "grunter" (is that even a word? cheesy) and he started when he was around 3 weeks. I was concerned about it before but now it doesn't bother me anymore. Sometimes he goes days without grunting. Sometimes he grunts nonstop like a Hog. I don leave him to do as he wants grin

mamas pls help me shopping for baby alone is no joke. Pls I need u people to advice me on the best diaper and wipes to buy for newborn I am seeing different product. Also shop to buy from. Even baby wipes I saw some for sensitive skin and normal which should I go for (the products I can see here are pampers and huggies)

Mamas that gave birth to male children was this how the kicking and movement was very dis comforting at 35week. Went for ANC on Tuesday and baby is doing great and very active. The movement is giving me sleepless nites. CC feddy27, zanyie
The choice of clothing and diapers depends on your preference and also budget. Also your baby's sensitivity to different diapers. I got a lot of different brands from my baby shower and luckily my baby has not reacted to any one. Let me try and categorize them according to price range for you.
DIAPERS
Less Expensive: Huggies Snug and Dry, Pampers Baby Dry, Luvs, Parent's Choice (Walmart Brand), Up and Up (Target Brand), Kirkland Supreme (Cosco Brand)
More Expensive: Pampers Swaddlers, Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive, Huggies Little Snugglers
Most Expensive: Seventh Generation, Pampers Premium Care, Honest, Huggies Pure and Natural.

Pls mamas, I need to buy a car seat what type can I buy. As the child is growing will I need to buy another one or is there a type I can buy for newborn that can still be used till the child is 4yrs old. Pls mamas advice me @feddy27 @zanyie @firstymum
Yes, there is the convertible carseats that can be used from birth up until 4 or 6 years (not sure). The choice pretty much depends on your choice, preference and pretty much your wallet.

I chose the infant seat because I want ease of access. I didn't wanna have to disturb my baby by taking him out of the seat while asleep after a car ride. It is easier for me to just remove the seat from its base and carry or snap into a stroller. But that will be impossible with a convertible carseat. Also, infants are supposed to ride in a carseat facing backwards until they're 2 years old in the State of California and I'm not sure how a convertible carseat will work out rear facing, I didn't even wanna try (I'm sure its gonna be uber awkward)so I went for the infant seat. The problem there is that I will have to buy a convertible seat when he's 2 years old and probably a booster seat when he is around 5 or 6 and that really sucks cos of the finances involved. But hey, safety is key. Hope that helps.

You can only use an infant car seat to take your baby out of the hospital. That car seat can be used till 1yr then you progress to toddlers car seat
Sis, actually no. She can use both an infant seat or convertible car seat to take her newborn home. The nurses are only required to check if she indeed has a car seat, the car seat meets the weight expectations of the baby and the seat is correctly installed.

Last last na chicco we buy at 15k
You're right. Ergobaby is very very strong. I don't have any fears when using it because it is very sturdy and holds baby well.... I can use my hands for other things while using it. I'm sure it's the exchange rate that affected the prices of everything and made it all so expensive.

Pls mamas who hv used baby carriers (d one like backpack)or wraps, how efficient was it? because am confused, i want 2 buy it but i just noticed that 4 out of 5 women av seen wit it still used their hands to support dia baby make e no fall. Abi i shud just be using gud old oja to back my baby?
Maybe because they feel the material is too flimsy to hold baby well without falling or the carrier's design made the weight of the baby rest solely on the carrier's shoulder and not evenly distributed as it should be. That's why its essential to check out the straps and buckles of the carrier before buying. Ergobaby 360, and one thing I like about it is the it's very study. The straps are rock solid and the buckles are very good too. But I didn't find it on Jumia or Konga. Carriers are very efficient for me. Especially when I need to do stuff or go to places that require my hands free and I can't push the stroller
various carriers are discussed here: http://www.babygearlab.com/Best-Baby-Carrier

2. Making new hairstyles all the time. I bought a very expensive Malaysian weave over Thanksgiving break and up until this moment, I have not made it to the stylist to get it installed. The braids I have on ehn, e don tey lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
3. Picking up and just going. I used to be able to to just pick up and go with hubby before but now I can't. I can pack a carryon and it'll fit my stuff. Now, reverse is the case. We will all be flying out of town next week and thinking of all the stuff Im gonna pack and carry for him just gives me headache and anxiety. How do I navigate an airport with a three month old? How much stuff do I even carry for him?
4. Making up my face! God knows I'm a makeup junkie. I like to beat my face grin But ever since he came around, I've not been able to do that. I don't even know where most of my makeup are. They're scattered between each bathroom, the bedroom and my car. cry
5. Shopping for myself. I used to enjoy shopping for myself but now, all I seem to do is buy stuff for him and neglect myself.
6. Going to Naija parties and staying till 2am. Lord knows that's when does Naija parties are lit! grin But now, I don get oga, we leave my 9pm or earlier if the spirit leads my boss to start crying out of tiredeness.

Staying for ages in the shower. I have kind of solved this issue sha. I take him into the shower with me, and thankfully he LOVES water! He will just cuddle and sleep while the shower sprays over him. But it's not fun anymore after 10mins of holding a 15lbs baby in the shower cheesy

@MamaOO am fighting with you o in respect of that pic you posted and all the mamas that said yuck,eeeewww,bleh,etc
All I want to do is hug that woman.
1)From the pic she did CS,we all know that CS recovery is no joke.2)she already feels like scrap when she looks at her stomach/that pic everyday embarassed embarassed embarassed and if she is not strong it could lead to post natal depression.
In my case,it's the post natal weight cry I was in a bad place psychologically,I had see a doctor,constantly remind myself that it's just for a while and am blessed,my babies loves me and are crazy about me even though I gained weight smiley smiley smiley.
In essence if you know her,contact olatebony for her stretchmark sheabutter mixture and gift it to her kiss and let her know she did a fabulous job as a mom.

Aunty Bisoye, abeg no vex for me cry cry. I didn't know pregnancy could do that and I admit I was shocked and said Yuck! when I saw it. And I don't even know her. Hubby sent it to me and was asking me if it was possible for pregnancy to do that to a woman. He had seen it on facebook and was shocked as well.

Women are indeed the salt of the world. We endure so much and still some men will abuse the women in their lives. God bless us all.

iomoge,

When I saw the post last night, me sef shock. Talmbout, you're insane, your head is not correct and all sorts cos the woman admitted to beating her 6 month old. I no wan wahala that was why I didn't reply last night. Plus I was tired and sleepy.

Like they say, if you have nothing good to say, don say anything. Me sef get choice words for the mama wey dey beat her pikin, but there are ways to tell her what she's doing is bad than the way she said it. Helovesme is not feeding the poster, neither is she her younger sis or maid. Have some respect dude! Criticize her but don't belittle her. Frustration can lead even the best mom to do bad things. Let her know what she did was bad without sounding like you're her lord and personal savior. Gosh.

And if we talk now, she'll say she lives in an advanced country kinikan kinikan. Me sef dey live for advanced country. Stop using Child Protective Services to scare people. Shebi you have to prove to CPS that someone is abusing her child, or you think you can just go there and tell them mama something is abusing her child and they will just go and arrest her? Oshisko. Abegi! Talmbout tracing IP and shit. Lmao. No be the same CPS?? grin they have enough wahala than to deploy FBI to search for one random woman on NL.

And I don't condone beating children in any way. MummyGwen please for God's sake, stop beating that child. It's not right and you should never let your anger and frustrations to make you do such things. I'm begging you. If she will take breastmilk. Give her that and keep coaxing her to eat little by little. With time she will adjust. Me sef that has been living her since, I no dey gree try new food, I'll rather stick with my Nigerian cuisine not to talk of a 6month old baby that's still exploring. Pele

Hello Mamas.

New here and baby is just 9days what can one do abt dis inverted nipples tins? B cos sometimes my baby find it difficult to latch. Av bn pumping d brst milk sometimes so in case we find it diff in d midnite, will make use of it. At times, are lucky to get him to Latch.
-how long to keep expressed milk outside or in d fridge?
-when do I start using gripe water for baby? Do u mix with water to give baby or directly and wat mwasurement shld b followed?.
I had/have the same problem of inverted nipplés. I used nipplé shields at first and I've got both the Medela and the Lansinoh ones but I prefer the Medela ones because they're so soft(silicon) and almost skin like. I searched Konga for you, but they only have the Avent and Tommee Tippee ones. Maybe you should give it a try. After a while the nipplés will be out a little bit and try getting him/her to latch without. I have started weaning mine off the shield, sometimes I succeed in getting him to latch without, sometimes I don't. Its a gradual process.
