Please don't forget to take your 3rd dose (for first time mamas) of TT.

What is TT please?

That is tokunbo SUV! Lexus RX has 300, 330, 350 and 450 depending on the year of make. So the RX 350 which he acquired is old model and mainly found in tokunbos. Its the RX 450 that you can rightly call new SUV. All the same congrats to him.

SMH. Lmao See as you just yeye yourself trying to sound informed? FYI, you are right about the models of RX that Lexus produces, But if you knew anything, you will know that the 300, 330, 350 and 450 are just different models of Lexus not the years of production (Just like Honda Pilot, Civic, Accord etc). There is a 2016 and a 2017 model of RX 350 and RX 450 you know. Google is your friend

MamaOO, nobody is beating her or physically assaulting her in her marriage. Her in-laws even used to love her and probably still like her. A man that stood by you through many years of... (she undastand me) loves you.

I am not in support of anybody cheating on their partner but do you truly know the position of things in that home? Do we have the man's side of the story? We only heard her side. It may or may not be the whole truth. Just saying. We as her friends will give a biased opinion and advice for sure.

After all said n done, we will go back to my own home and enjoy my blessings or work on our marriages while she becomes a single mother. Would we be there when she cries and weeps? Would we train and discipline her boy? Would we give her continuous emotional, financial, psychological comfort and protection? Is there really another woman? Can it be worked out and the other woman thrown out? Are you trying to use your much loved child as a bargaining chip? -like they must come begging because of this much sought after child? Dont mind me if I sound harsh. I just want you to see it from other angles. God's grace. I rest my case.

I do understand. But bear in mind "He who wears the shoes, knows where it pinches the most". Like you said, we don't know her story and we don't know what and what she made her come to the decision to leave the house.

I'm married and happily so, but being a single mom is not a stigma. Single moms have raised Presidents (Know who Barack Obama is), Doctors, Engineers and responsible members of the society. Being a single mom is not a death sentences. I reiterate, I'll rather be a single mom than to endure a marriage where I am not being happy or cherished.

You said the man doesn't physically abuse or assault her. Yes, it might be true. But how do you know that? Are you in her marriage with her? Abuse is not physical alone, its mental, its psychological. And is refusing to drop her child for her in-laws same as using the child as a bargaining chip? Would you have dropped the child if it were you? Let me just stop talking, this is someone's private issue, it should not be subject of chit chat on an online forum. And btw.... the matter has already been dropped since yesterday. Let her do whatever is right for her ma. Please.

Couldn't resist this. Good morning ma and have a nice day. Luv you. If ppl like make them attack me. I don talk my own. Many of you will never quit your marriage but won't stop another woman from leaving. How many Muslim women quit their marriages?! Only one out of like twenty! God help us all. Bye

Mama please calm down. Nobody is fighting or attacking you. Whoever decides to leave her marriage did not take the decision lightly. She went through countless days and nights trying to make a decision and stand by it. You don't know what she's been through, what kind of emotional, physical or mental torture she went through before coming to the conclusion that she needs to quit the marriage.

Need I say that marriage is not the ultimate. It's not a do or die affair. I'll rather leave the marriage than risk getting infected with a deadly disease, rendered invalid or worse off dead! What will be the fate of my children and relatives if I kill myself because of marriage? So if her husband was abusing her....she should stay there and continue praying hoping he doesn't kill her right? You do well o. Also, nobody here advised her to leave,she already made that decision on her own before coming here. Like they say, walk a mile in other people's shoes so you can have an idea of what they're dealing with.

I'll leave a marriage before I allow a man to infect me with HIV or kill me, and rendering my child/children motherless for another woman to maltreat them for me. Who lose? I'll rather quit the marriage, raise my children in peace, watch them grow and reap the fruits of my labor in peace, good health and happiness than die because of a man who will marry another wife after you're gone. And yes, I am a MUSLIM!! Please leave Muslims out of this ma'am. It was not a religion thing to begin ugh. Thanks.

I will definitely fight for my son's rights when the time comes, for now I'm just so sick of constant treating of infection. Physical abuse? None yet! But do I have to wait till it gets to that? I need to be alive to be in a marriage o. I married young and I'm still young at 33.

Let me give him space and get myself together. My mistake was letting my heart rule over my brain now I'm wiser.

BritneyStacy:
56OZ in a day ?? How do you get to produce that much please? Can you share the secret?

Honestly I don't know. I don't know how I produce that much oo. Maybe because I'm big busted or genetics cos my mom was also like that. I'm even tired. I'm looking for ways to reduce the production sef.

On the flip side, na my baby dey enjoy cos there's abundance in the land of food. Make him no turn Yokozuna na him remain

rofemiguwa:
My baby has also reduced feed at 5months plus.i trow d rest away.so u can donate.i haf no idea.

Maybe u reduce ur pumping sessions.
I pump jus once a day i get 4 140mils.she takes while am at work.then i breastfeed directly wen am around.since u know ur baby takes 28oz a day.u can limit ur pumping sessions to that.

Unless u plan to open a factory for breastmilk.thats why u r storing so much .

U r doing a good job.kudos.kisses to ur lo.

I pump 4 times a day oo, at most 5 and I haven't really been nursing directly cos my baby tore my nïpples badly, still waiting for it to heal Sha. If I don't pump. I will be so uncomfortable and develop a fever. I keep a freezer stash for when I go to work and can't pump well or my supply tanks. Maybr I should not empty my boobs again at every pump session, I don't even know again.

I heard there is a breastmilk bank that you can donate breastmilk to for sick children or children with mothers who can't lactate well. I'm still looking into that Sha. But you sef na boss Sha oo! 560ml at a go! Wow!

Coldfeet:
You are truly blessed! Was never able to express beyond 60ml no matter how hard I try I'll just end up with sore nepples

I also get sore nipples o. I dread pumping sometimes sef, the first few minutes are painful!

Tojued:
Hmmmm I wish it was possible to borrow, sell or donate. You're indeed blessed, formula people will never see your money to chop.

My sister, I'm already thinking about donating cos my freezer is slowly filling up with frozen breastmilk. All the free formula I got to is just lying there staring at me. I guess I should be thankful Sha

loistee:
The breast pump is the electric or manual how do u managed to pump this much how many oz do u pump per feed pls dont mind my too many question i want to increase my supply as well

It's electric....double electric. Medela Pump-in-Style Advanced. I also have no idea why I'm able to produce and pump so much milk. Depending on how long since my last pump, I get between 8-17oz per session.

This morning, I pumped 16oz from both boobs, 7am in the morning. My last pump session was 11:55pm last night. I also try not to pump too much so that my body won't think it's a cue to make more. So I only pump 4-5 times a day and yesterday I got 56oz total from 5 pump sessions

Haleematm:
Good eveng mothers. this is my first time here any protocol to be followed?
pls i v a question. my baby is ten weeks already but his first one month i was supplementing my breast milk with NAN 1 cos i wasnt lactating well. after d first mnth i made up my mind dt we are no longer supplementing nd settled with breast milk alone and today we r 10 weeks plus and i still think im not lactating well cos my bby always wants to b put to breast every mins every sec and whenever i press my breast it doesnt gush out like others would another issue is dt my nipple is damn red and painful probably cos of the force he uses to suck and d frequency of d feeding. pls i need help. has anybody experienced this? and plshow can i boost mu breast milk. still doing exclusive despite d pain on my nipple

I'm not so experienced (my baby is just 6 weeks old) but I can try as much as possible to answer your questions.
First you said when you press your boobies, milk doesn't gush out. Well, truth is milk might not gush out, but you might be Lactating well. I'm a living witness. I've never leaked breastmilk ever. But I tell you, if I use my breastmilk to express milk 4-5 times a day, I get an average of 45oz(1330ml) and my baby only drinks around 28oz per day. I'm even afraid I have oversupply, but I've never leaked breastmilk.

Second, if you're really keen on breastfeeding without supplementing, I will advise you to keep breastfeeding. The more he sucks, the more you produce. You can also try other methods of boosting your supply (Fenugreek, Mother's Milk tea.... etc)

Third, I also have the same problem of baby making your nipples sore. Mine has even tore through my nipples cos he had a crappy latch due to my flat and inverted nipples. I use Medela nipple shield, Medela tender care hydrogel, breastmilk and various methods to cope with the pain and also heal my nipples. Sometimes when I can't cope, I express milk and feed him a bottle, and thankfully because he loves food so much he takes the bottle with no fuss.

Try and get a breast pump to express milk. It helps with boosting your supply and also gives your nipples rest and time to heal. Your baby might also have a shallow latch or not latching on well hence the pain. The biggest culprit is tongue tie. Take him/her to the pediatrician to access if baby is tongue-tied. Don't beat yourself up cos of those issues, breastfeeding is not easy.

Pls dear what's Ivig? Maybe I tell his doc about it.

Intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) therapy is for significant hyperbilirubinemia in ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn.

Administration of IVIG to newborns with significant hyperbilirubinemia due to ABO hemolytic disease with positive direct Coomb's test reduces the need for exchange transfusion without producing immediate adverse effects.

Really. Thank you mama.
So pls which size of the little snugglers are you eventually using since the snug & dry size 1 was too big?

I'm using Little Snugglers and Honest Diapers size 1 right now. It didn't fit right before and I used to pull it around him really tight. But it has started fitting well enough. He will be 6 weeks tomorrow.

Sharing from experience. A resident will support you with documents that you temporarily reside in the county with your Visa attached to the application. You re required to pay a token and it's issued with the validity of the duration on your passport.


It's issued as a "Temporal identification Card"

Oh okay. No problem. I didn't know. But make sure to cover your bases well though, make sure you'll be able to defend it well if it comes up at a point of entry or when renewing your visa. US angencies notoriously have different interpretations of different scenarios. What flies with one might not fly with another

shamecurls:
Check requirements on page.....it's clearly stated that "US citizenship or lawful presence status, social security and Texas residency"

It's boldly written on the ID that it's a limited term ID, so you need not worry...it's legal.

Living with relatives or living in a county temporarily does not make you a resident of that county.

Calm down..... na fight?
The bolded you were referring to was me asking if you have ever used the size 2 for a month old child and not if you have ever used Huggies before o..... abeg gimme a lil credit.

Lucioustrish my son is in d same condition, av been in d hospital since I gave birth. we just got home from hospital, but went for check up yesterday D levels started rising again. Pls any home remedy for this. My baby's jaundice is caused by ABO incompatibility. Am o+ and he's B+. He has been on phototherapy for 5 days. At a point they were talking of blood transfusion but God took charge and it started dropping b4 we were discharged. Now it's rising again.
I believe God will help us this time. Any mama that has home remedy for this should Pls throw more light.
Cc feddy27,alphahandmaiden, liftedhands

Please please please. Take him back to the hospital ASAP!!!!! I don't mean to scare you, but my son had exactly the same issue. ABO incompatibility...mom O+, baby B+. Bili level of 16.9 at 2 days old. He spent two weeks at the Neonatal ICU (NICU) and received 3 doses of IVIg.

The hospital should never have discharged the baby in the first place until they are sure that baby's bilirubin levels kept going down without the bilirubin lights.(At least 3 days in a row where levels drop without treatment from the lights).

zaynie:
I speak from my own personal experience with my 2 kids.
I never buy Huggies newborn, I start with size one, take some to the hospital and leave the rest at home. Then once they're done with that size ( in about 2 weeks), I move on to size 2. Except for Atinuke where I had a gift of Kirkland size one diapers.
My kids we're born 3.1kg and 3.2kg. They never really grow big and chubby and size 2 doesn't look too big on them (not as cute as size one), no blowouts too.
Moyo used Huggies all through till size 4. We didn't potty train till he was 2 and could speak. In fact, his leftover size 4 like half a carton was recently used by his sister ( she isn't one yet o and very skinny someborri like that). That is why when people ask opinions on diapers, I'm usually quiet as I am just learning about new diapers ( thanks to recession ), but Huggies, I will quickly hurry and chook mouth.
I think the good thing about Huggies is the fit at the thighs and the waist.

That is my opinion.
I used it and it fit. If you haven't used it, how can you say it won't fit?



My SiL gave us like 3 big packs of size 2 diapers when her baby wasn't even 3 months old. It was tooooooo tight on the baby, baby is a mini sumo wrestler and my own Iya kekere wore size2 till 6 months.

As per the bolded part, ma'am please read my previous post, I speak from experience as well. I've actually used Huggies and I'm pretty sure my 11lbs baby swims in Huggies size 1. Both The Huggies Snug and Dry and also the Huggies Little Snugglers, though the Little Snugglers seems to fit better than the Snug and Dry. I've used at least 4 kinds of diapers for him cos I got them at his shower so I'm kinda versed a bit on how each of them fit.

That said, I read diapers for different on different kids anyways, probably cos of different builds. I'm not disputing your opinion, I just added mine. Thanks.

feddy27:
I've been trying to wrap my head around it o cos my huggies little snugglers newborn can be used up to a (10lbs) 4.5kg baby so I'm wondering hw size 2 will fit a newborn...lol

I had to go and check the cartons of diapers too as well. To be sure of what I was saying cos I'm pretty sure my baby still swims in size 1 Huggies and he's almost 11lbs.

zaynie:
The US one.
Note that I made mention of
1: the size one being snug and fit. Looks cute on them too.
2. Size 2 is an option if you're expecting a big baby. Size 1 won't last 2 weeks till it's too tight on babies.

I doubt it oo, zaynie. My baby was born 8.9lbs and now almost 11lbs and still swims in size 1 US diapers.

Purity77:
Thank you so much mama.

So they'll give me all those freebies eh for trial. Very interesting!

For the diaper, I'll just buy some of huggies size 2 for now & wait.
Many many thanks Ma. God bless you much.



Thank you so much too mama Zaynie.
Since hospital will give us free diapers after delivery, I guess I'll just buy the size 2 & keep for now.
If they no give me plenty at hospital, we can always breeze to the mall anytime & buy some smaller size ie if baby won't fit into size 2 by then self.
Ose Ma!

Size 2 is way too big for a newborn. My baby was big at birth.... 8.9lbs (around 4.1kg) and we used newborn diapers for close to 4 weeks. Then I moved to size 1 cos the newborn was finished and they're kinda getting tight on him. He is on size 1 now, but it's too big.

I found out that some of them fitted well than the others though...Huggies snug and dry was the worst, it was way to big and he got blowouts a lot. I stopped hiding it until he gets bigger. Parents Choice (Walmart brand) is a bit fitted but it seems so thin and doesn't hold much. Pampers Swaddlers was okay. A bit fitted but can also be saggy and I have to pull it snug around him. The best fit for him right now is Huggies Little Snugglers and Honest diapers. They're snug and fit well with no blowouts. I got different brands during my baby

Also bear In mind that the hospital will not give you an endless supply of diaper. They gave me 60 Huggies Little Snugglers and if you're like me that uses at least 6 diapers a day and as much as 12, you'll run out fast.

VEE992:
What of his Pampers? ,Did u wear him one after? And how did u control him not touching the wound

Yes. The nurses wore him a diaper afterwards. I noticed that the diaper was a bit bigger than what he normally wears (I think it was a size 1) and my baby was still in newborn diapers then. The diaper worm got him by the doctor's office was a bit saggy and I guess that was t keep the diaper from being too tight and rubbing on the wound.

You might wanna go with a diaper bigger than him. I did nothing to prevent him from touching the wound. He didn't touch it anyways. I just took extra care when changing his diapers and was told not to give him a bath too th ring falls off. All I did was give him a towel bath. The ring fell off on the forth day
