To insert a godet (which is what the triangle piece is called), you sew it to the skirt pieces before you sew the skirt.

Take one skirt piece (SP), and at the hem line, pin one side of the godet to one side of the SP (right sides together). Now, with the godet facing up, sew a seam from the hemline all the way to the end of the godet and make two or three stitches extra on to the SP.

Next, take the next SP of your 6 piece skirt and pin one side of it to the other side of the godet you just attached (right sides together). With godet side facing up, put your machine's needle as close to the stitching on the other side of the godet as possible. Make sure that fabric from the other side of the godet is not under your work. Sew your seam towards the hemline. Once done, pin the two SPs together and then stitch a seam that is starts exactly at the tip of the triangle or the godet.

If this is not clear, you can google "insert a godet".

Its usually 'more visible' wen a child is dehydrated. So just breasfeed him more often. Its really nothing to worry abt.

Ok ma.

Is it normal cos I have never seen such on other babies head.

tchiwinnie:
Wonderfl mama, 1st of all, relax . For d leg, just dont worry, it ll go down wt tym. My baby's own took up to 1wk or more b4 it completely went down. U dont need to apply anything. For d restlessness, u cld gv pcm if u feel he s in pain, bt it may nt b necessary for more dan 24hrs. Abt d part of his head going up and down(lol), mama relax inu? its completely normal. It ll b closing small small as he develops till it finally closes at abt 9-18months. Bt mama, e good as u come ask ur questions here. Jisike, u re doing a great job.

MiracleMum:
My 7 weeks baby smiles too. In fact she's been smiling since 3 or 4 weeks old

bossladyMo:
Babies go through different sleep cycles...just like adults do too. Everything you described is normal. Babies naturally breathe faster and irregular...but it normalises as they grow. They also tend to hold ttheir breaths for a few seconds, then continue breathing.
Abnormal things you should look out for are - Wheezing sound, and a DEEP caving in of the chest (naturally, their chests cave in a bit when breathing...take note of that).
As foe the smile, it's normal. Most children start smiling between 3-6weeks old...it's no biggie. My daughter started smiling at about 3weeks, and my son was about 4weeks.

My 7 weeks baby smiles too. In fact she's been smiling since 3 or 4 weeks old

Thanks for the reply,now my mind is at rest and knw what to look out for.

My experienced mamas in the house I don come again o! My prince is a month old today, and I noticed he sweats a lot while feeding,also when he is sleeping he breaths fasts for awhile then breaths normal,moves his eyes and smile. Even when he is awake he smiles a lot (I learnt frm my Mil that he too young to be smiling ). let me stop here for now.

@ Lovinam and Kimoni thanks so much,I am really trying my best. I hope and pray to over come my issues soon.

Pls I nid ur hlp as am not happy at all and its affecting my love for my LO I don't wnt to go bck feeling lk dis.

tchiwinnie:

No it wasn't from birth,its bigger,and its watery when pressed.

kaffy4bill:

[quote author=tchiwinnie post=31811219]Pls dont press it again. Did u say d lump was watery or do u mean it was soft? Still tk him to c a paed

Yes a watery lump, I was told to give him vitamin c and ampiclox drop,that mayb he is reacting to the saop and cream we use for him cos he has heat rashes on his fore head too and that we shld not press it while bathing him.

Hello mummy's, am a FTM, I noticed a swollen lump on my baby's scalp( he is a week old),this evening while bathing him. its somehow watery when I press it but doesn't seem to pain him. I want to take him to d hospital now but my MlL said I shld wait till tomoro besides my DH is not around. Please o I have been crying cause when I googled it, wat I read raised my bp.

Governor Kayode Fayemi[/b] will win the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State but the Lord God said he should give Him the honor and praise and not to any woman political juggernaut or godmother deceiving him that she is the power behind the throne, because “… for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God” (Romans 13: 1).
