Jamb qweshion @ bolded. Some people start after one week. Those mamas know themselves and I raise Beyoncé's hands in salute.

Yes. You can start wearing jeans. As long as the waist band isn't too tight. Personally, I found out that jeans wasn't the problem but a belt was. So I didn't wear a belt with my jeans till I felt comfortable to do so.

I know one of them

eolowu1:
happy wknd mothers. pls help me chook mouth for dis matter o Am 2months post operation, can I start having sex, can I start wearing jeans trousers cos d waist band of d jeans trousers will stay on d incision, can I start wearing jeans

Lol. As long as you don't feel pains at the incision, you can o. I waited longer because my incision opened up, i was still having pains, and lochia was acting like a devil.

But the very first day i had sex post-op, i had to use a lubricant because the place was as dry as a desert.

For jeans, i started wearing one month post-op. I selected the ones with a higher waist band and i only zipped it up. I didn't use the button at the waist band.

Ok. I have heard frm some pple that shea butter and coconut oil e.t.c darkens the skin

I don't know how true that is. I sometimes mix PK oil and SB for my baby and I think he is even getting lighter.

Other mamas can shed more light...

I pray your child gets better soon Rezzy. Don't forget yourself too. Make sure you eat well so the stress doesn't tell on you. Pele

I don port o!
Good morning mamas......
My DS is 2weeks plus and has rashes on his face and its spreading to his back. What can I use for it? I'm currently using ori and palm kernel oil.

Maybe you should keep the ori aside for now and use the palm kernel oil sparingly. Then try to not to cover your baby too much, especially if the weather is hot.
With time it will clear off.

NB: I hope you are using original ori and palm kernel oil, because the fake will do more harm than good for your baby

AbbynHummy:
Mothers, between chicco baby lotion and johnson baby lotion which one is better?

From people's review, Chicco is better. If you ask me, i'll rather go natural and use homemade oils and butters like coconut oil, palm kernel oil, almond oil and shea butter. They are awesome on baby's skin

VEE992:
Powder abi?.. have been telling my mum this oo... mummy no powder, mummy no powder...but she will say what do I know...I just let her be cos she is the one bathing my DS. Her reason for applying powder being that it sheds off old skin ...na so I open mouth look am

Hehehehehe. Same here. Mum says powder makes baby skin look fresh.

Immediately, i turn my back, mum will pour powder on my boy and she'll be so excited as she does it. I eventually had to hide it and pretend i can't remember where it is.

Akorkor:
Mama, I have been using pregnacare plus omega 3 since my conception and all I take is one tablet of green and one capsule(pink blister) per day and I only use them at night because of the way I feel in first trimester(puke) when I used it during the day.

Ijelex is asking about Pregnacare Max. Pregnacare Max dose is a total of 3 tablets, while Pregnacare Plus dose is a total of 2 tablets. So she is taking 3 per day.

And you're right, its better to take at night if it makes you feel nauseous. I always dread taking mine when i was preggie, so taking it at night worked for me. Drugs r a nightmare for me

Ijelex:
Good day mama's, please am currently on pregnacare Max,. The instruction is to take 2 of the blue blister twice per day and d green blister(omega, 3) once per day. Making it 3 person.
I usually take the 3 at once, am I right or should I take it twice in a day. Pls I need clarifications as lo becomes so active after taking my drugs.
Cc mitchyy, enque, feddy27,soonest and all the beautiful mama's in the thread

Yes, that is the correct dose. Two of the blue/green tab and one omega3 tab. So in total, you are taking 3 tablets.
You take them together and that's all for the day. You shouldn't take it again

Hello mamas, i saw this on mamalette and decided to share...


Tips to Deal With Nausea/Vomitting in Pregnancy

Get enough rest as tiredness can increase nausea.

Drink water but don’t try to drink so much at once, just sip on it to help prevent nausea.

If hot meals makes you nauseated, try cold meals.

Note all the foods and smells that make you feel sick and avoid them.

Avoid cold, sweet drinks.

If you can, get someone to cook your meals but if this is impossible, make plain foods such as potato, pasta and the ones mentioned above.

Don’t think about it, the more attention you pay to it, the worse it gets.

Wear comfortable clothes that’ll free your waistband.

Change your food routine.

Eat small portions of food instead of large meals. Also eat foods that are plain and low in fat such as white rice, vegetables, crackers, pasta, hot cereal, egg, custard, lean meat, poultry, whitefish and shellfish as fatty foods, sweet and spicy foods can cause nausea.

As per drinks, you can go for tart liquids such as lemonade and any other sour drink that’ll be easy to drink. Salted foods also help relieve nausea and vomiting.

Whatever you want to eat, eat it in bed, then rest for 20 to 30 minutes before you get up, your focus now should be getting food down your throat, although you might not be able to eat a balanced diet for a while.

You can chew on ginger or drink ginger tea, ginger is quite effective for morning sickness. You can drink ginger for four days in a row but contact your doctor if you want to take it for more than 4 days.

Cook with ginger, sprinkle grounded ginger on your food or you can buy ginger candy and cookies and munch on them. It will help you keep proper foods down

I hope someone finds this helpful...

They told us not to use cream and powder till 6 months. I'm not sure how that will pan out

Thank you for the directions, I will tell my MIL to help me get some.

I've only heard about powder but not cream. Maybe you should ask them why and see if they have a valid reason. We might learn from it

zaynie:
I don't know how much potash is used and how much should be eaten but I do know it gave Mitchyy serious contractions when she ate it in maybe Owoh soup or so.

Mitchyy abeg confirm.

Yes it did. The day I ate owo soup which is made with potash, I was having contractions every 3mins until I was given a drug to stop it.

Since I knew it cause contractions, I ate it when i was ready to see my baby and the next day I fell into labor. Don't know if its a coincidence but that's what happened

BritneyStacy:
Does that Palm kernel oil not stain clothes?

Nope. I rub it very well into the skin and i don't use too much.
It only stains his towel a little but since i wash and change his towel regularly, its not a big deal. The stains dissolve immediately it touches water.

BritneyStacy:
Ekene sells hair. ....pure human hair...not synthetic ones oo as you can see. Pm me for prices .I don't want to name the price here before I chop ban

Great. We need 2kg. And it has to be hair that can grow

sugah:
Mitchyy are you Lagos based? Can I get the palm kernel oil from you?
Funny enuf that was the only cream my mum ever used.

Yes i am. I'll have to ask my mum to buy yours and add to it when sending. What's the quantity you need?

The woman sells the small nestle bottle water size for 1500.

I was against my mum using it initially but now i'm very grateful.

rofemiguwa:
Mitchyy can ur MIL jus make crayfish n soya and fish for me.no corn.so i jus be adding to d already made pap.please help me ask her.2 weeks more to 6months mark

Yes she can. She can customize the soya meal and include or exclude any ingredient you need.

Let me know the quantity you need. I'll advise you buy just little first to see if your baby accepts it, before buying more, to avoid wasting money.

We can talk via Whatsapp 07039796890

phunmykay:
@mompurity2 your boys are too cute to be ignored,well done..
@sabi MAMA n.papa pls can I introduce pap,cereals and formula to my ds he is 5months2weeks but he now sucks extraordinary now e my br*ast is cry for help,he is on EBF

Just bear for the remaining 2 more weeks till they reach the 6month mark.
You can introduce formula now if you wish. No one takes home a medal for 6months EBF, it is just a recommendation.

But for the pap and cereal, just chill a little. Please. Pele

Comtem2011, Pintoxx, thanks mamas!!!

lexajen:
Good morning Mitchyy
Please did you mix the Shea butter/perm kernel oil together till you got a smooth paste, or is it separately you use it?

Please can you upload a picture of what the cream looks like?

Also, I was told at the hospital not to use soap and powder on baby till after 6 months. Is this normal?

Yes, you mix it on your palm and then apply.

When i get home i'll modify this post and upload a pic. You have to look for the original palm kernel oil. My mum sends the original one for me every month. It's light brown, while the fake is black.

Not to use soap on baby? I've never heard that o. Baby soap was even part of my hospital list

comtem2011:
cutie pls dash me small hair now!

Me too o. Not even one mama agreed to dash Hansel hair on this thread.

Is this how we are?

Hansel haff vex!

fabmum:

Jennykoko3009:
Oh thanks! Bt did u giv him or u are the one to take it

I was the one taking it. Not baby

fabmum:

Ori all d way mhen, evn bathing soap is black soap prepared by my mum... I'm dat local I gree. Lmao... But u need to see my son skin na... Frosh like dat

Say NO to yeye cream mixing for babies

That is how my mum made me keep aside all my "oyinbo" cream and i started using Palm Kernel oil mixed with shea butter for my boy.
I get compliments everywhere i go on how smooth and frosh his skin looks.

My mum never lets me rest with "i told you so".

Jennykoko3009:
Pls mama mitchyy help me wit ur method

Lol. Na really method. All i do is take lot of veggies regularly

The best solution for my baby's constipation is to make a fruit smoothie of cucumber, apple, banana and orange. It works for me very well

olubankemi:
What are you people mixing? Lol, @Mitchy how are you?

Am a learner ooo, my babies are almost six months and my boy hadly accept any order than just milk, but I no gree am oo, I make sure he takes pap, being so busy to go buy the cereals recommended here.

Lol. It's soya and corn meal for babies i'm helping my MIL distribute.

olubankemi:
@Sexiest, yes even my hospital collected 1k each for others.

14k is way too much. Where do you reside? Doren at Thomas estate is the price above, rota 8500 and others 1k each including pcv, also safeway at sangotedo is same.

Yeah. Even Budo too charges high for the Rota. Those hospitals bill a lot.

Tojued:
doesn't need to be cooked? i'm interested. how do we discuss more?

Yes o. It doesn't need to be cooked. Even as an adult, you'll love it. I eat mine with bread.

Heard it's also perfect for babies who need to add some flesh.

We can talk via Whatsapp 07039796890

rofemiguwa:
Mitchy how is it used.
We don dey near 6months mark.aswear u can hear my heartbeat whenever sixmonths is mention.
Fear of will i be able to feed my baby well,will she adapt.will she react.

Will she like it? So many will she in my head.

You don't have to cook this one. You just add formula/milk, add a little warm water, mix and feed your baby. That's all.

I think most babies accept it. My friend's baby takes it regularly everyday and she is doing great. Its the nutrients in it i love.

I dunno if you can mix it with pap. Will have to ask her

By the way, mamas, i'm helping my MIL distribute her soya meal for babies. It's completely natural with no preservatives and made in an extremely hygienic environment. I'm sure of that.

It contains soya, crayfish, groundnut, and corn. You can customize your order if you wish to exclude or include more ingredients like millet and dry fish. You simply make it like cereal for your baby.

It's only recommended for babies 6months+ and for adults.
I've been taking it daily since i dropped and i'm seeing the effect on Hansel.

Let me know if you need.

Dunni29:
@sixx lovely cute bump. We're 27weeks and 5days today. I feel like I am older than that. Tiredness is the newest thing now. I literally just pass over some activities. Meanwhile LO is still in the cephalic position and we got to do a 4D scan over the weekend. The pictures taken are really worth the waddling I am going through. We weigh 1.2kg too. This is us at 2 days ago

27 what? 27weeks bump??

You look like you're ready to pop. You're really trying to waddle with this heavy load so early. What a bump!

BritneyStacy come see your partner.

enque:

Thanks

burticious:
Hello mamas.. Please what are the fruits my wife can be taking in the first trimester and fruits to avoid

She should take any fruit her system can accept, especially watermelon. The only exception is pineapple and unripe pawpaw which has been unofficially linked to premature contractions. Happy bumping to you guys!
