I want you mamas to discuss this issue of female circumcision, although 've heard and read a lot on female genital mutilation but am raising this for a friend, she called me that her 3 years old girl used to put hand in her vaginal and say its scratching her but she 'll only touch there & says it 'll not scratch you again but recently the mother-in-law visited and told her that its becuase she was nt b circumcise and that they can still do it, but she refuse, please mamas what do you have to say on dis? Thanks

thanx love for takingnout time to talk to me.may God bless u . first let me confess I contributed to my son's cold and catarrh cuz I use to expose him because he sweats alot.i started covering him some days before going to d hospital last week and I have seen alot of improvement though he is having heat rashes now but I don't mind.i was always being told not to expose him but I use to pity him when he sweats and didn't want rashes....of the truth, I have seen alot of improvement from when I started covering him but day and night and the last antibiotics I just started giving him.

he is sleeping right now, no sound whatsoever is being heard unlike before.i am keeping my calm cuz I know oluwa is involved in his matter.

once again thanx so muh love for taking out time to encourage me.i appreciate. God bless u

helovesme:
Fantastic. this is what i was expecting to read.

personally, i would ignore that doctor's diagnois of adeniod and do not agree to any talk of surgery.

my son had similar symptons at 4-6 weeks (minus the cold and catarrah) and i took him to see my doctor. he told me that at that age, babies nasal passage and respiratory organs are small and they are still growing, so it is not unusual for some babies to make such funny noises while sleeping. he told me that he would outgrow it. he didnt ask me to do any xray or prescribe antibiotics. true to his words, my baby has outgrown it and he sleeps very quietly and the breathing noises have stopped.

in your case, the funny noises might be as a result of the blocked nose. i was told that when babies have a cold, they accumulate mucus at the bridge of their nose/upper respiratory tract. unfortunately, unlike adults, they are unable to voluntarily sneeze or blow their noses to get rid of the mucus.

finish the dose of antibiotics and make sure he's well dressed and covered (both night and day - whether the weather is warm or not). before my baby got his cold, my mum kept accusing me that i wasnt dressing him properly and that it was better for a baby to have heat rashes than cold/pneumonia. in retrospect, she was right. the stress involved in dealing with heat rash is nothing compared to the sleepless nights and anxiety thats involved in catering to a child with cold/cough.

read my previous post. i listed the home rememdies that worked for my baby regarding cold/blocked nose.

louistearer:
I met a girl after my service year in 2013, but then she wasn't working, we met and started dating. Two months to our relationship she got a job and has being supporting me financially because am still yet to get a job. She rented an apartment for me and even furnished it, she pays all my bills including feeding and clothing me. But all she wants in return is to get married to me though we are age mates. Nairalanders if u were in my shoes wld u walk her down the aisle bcuz she has being supportive or wld u marry a girl that's ur age-mate

Keji3:
Good morning mamas how are we all doing?
I have plenty questions this morning abeg make una bear with me and help me answer them. When do babies start sleeping for longer hours thru the night? My baby is 5 months old and we still wake up minimum of 5 times per night and she wants to comfort nurse everytime she wakes up to go back to sleep.
Pls is it necessary to teach a baby to sit or they do when they are ready? She's also not interested in sitting on her own and people are already bugging me that i didn't start early with her. For now she's only interested in rolling over and she's already rolling on both sides.
Lemme stop here for now as i await answers. Thanks in advance

helovesme:
i'm in a good mood today, so i'm going to reply your 'mention'.

rather than picking up on my post which wasnt directed at you anyways, why not offer some meaningful advice to the poster.

i read your whole rant and i cant see an iota of advice you've given to the lady in question.

did you miss the part where she stated that her mother in lagos also works? so you expect grandma at her age to effectively combine her job with caring for a 3months old baby?

and yes, i stand by my statement. for someone living in abuja (where the traffic is no where as crazy as lagos), for someone based in Nigeria (unlike overseas where the cost of childcare is crazy), leaving a 3 months old baby with a grandma and not seeing that child daily is CRUEL. so what if people are doing it, does that make it the right or moral thing to do. if you dont like my opinion, then feel free to kiss the wall.

and yes, the lady in question thanked me for my advice. see below

viviparity:
my ppl ,my vij is itching me .they said ampiclox will be too hard cos of my baby is true?, my baby is 2months 2weeks .or what should I take. am using gynmed creamy

helovesme:
why not put him in a creche/daycare/nursery located at Abuja?

not seeing your baby that's barely 3 months everyday sounds rather cruel.

there are several good nurseries around that you can keep your baby - you drop him off in the morning and pick him up in the evening. all you need to do is find a good one either near your home or near you office - just make sure it is on your route.

you do not need a nanny or househelp !

you only need to be organised and adopt a routine. you ensure that the night before, all the things he will need to take to the nursery (feeding bottle, milk, change of clothes, nappies, etc) is packed in your baby's bag. you wake up early in the morning, bath, then wake up your baby, bath him, dress him up, feed him, drop him in a baby bouncer while you get dressed and then you drop him off at the creche.

Put some eucalyptus oil on a towel and place near him so he can inhale. You can hang it like a bib on his cloth sef.

I know some people do steam therapy but i have no idea how it's done LOL
