Nefertitiram dear I don't think there is anything wrong with what d Valemodi posted. Updating us as regards what d US govt is planning to do (or even started as I don't kno) is not bad. Many pple here may not kno about this. Thababe and Oluwafunkenny explained further.

I don't think she is trying to discourage birthing in d US but just informing us. Atleast that's d message I got from d post

nefertitiram:


And so? Is it your baby?

Thanks

oluwafunkenny:
FATCA - Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act is for US taxpayers and US residents.
The main purpose is for banks to identify US persons having offshore accounts or investments and render report on inflow and outflow so as to know how to tax them.

When our children start earning, they will pay tax afterall they will benefit and must have benefited from the dividend of tax.

Its between 800-1000 naira. As regards the milk, u ll av to check the direction on the pack because some requires milk while some do no require milk but just water

MumZ:


Hi, pls how much is d Heinz cereal and is formula added 2 eat b4 giving 2 baby?

Then u av nothing to worry about dear.

Gr8fulHeart:
Nita thnks. Chop kiss
Yea d green poop has seeds lik melon. I'll try d sma gold or sma. Thnks.

True talk. Have they started cos i remember reading this sometime ago

Valemodi:
For u all that want to b giving birth in America. U are preparing ur kids to declare their assets and pay tax wherever they are in the world. Thanks to Obama and his smart policy called FATCA. u will sign this form stating open declaration of ur earnings which is taxable whether or not u reside in the US (US Indicia) as long as u use their passport.If u dont believe then google the word FATCA Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

U can try SMA or SMA gold if he is not takin d NAN.
My son's poop has been greenish and seedy but not watery though. But he poops like twice or thrice a day. His poop changed to green since I started supplementing. I even took him to see a paediatrician who saw d poop and said it's perfectly normal.

I think u should look at d poop closely to see if it's seedy as well cos seedy poop is associated with teething. While greenish poop is associated with d iron content in d milk.

quote author=Gr8fulHeart post=32345600]Greetings mom, pls I nid clarificatn. I use cow and gate cereals for my 5monthd baby along with nan. My baby hates d nan, but manages d cereal.
Wat oda milk cn I use?
Secondly the poo is kind of greenish, watery and a bit slimy, up to 3tyms a day. Pls is it an alergy from d nan or d cereals or is it teething. I'm confused oo[/quote]

Lol I can imagine ur dh look Hahahahaha. Pls just wait till 6months. I gave my son cereals suitable for 4months old and included cerelac after he turned 6months.

rezzy:


Yes, I didn't know too. I sent dh to help me buy it, he bought from 6 months, I was very angry with him that he doesn't know how to buy something. Now, don't even know how to tell him that cerelac doesn't have from 4 months.

May be I should just wait till he is 6months.

Hello dear cerelac is for 6months and it's stated on d container. There r some that's suitable from 7months, 8months etc so pls check first. Some pple give b4 6months but I 'd rather follow d instructions

NoQualms1:


Can a 4month old baby take Cerelac? I'm currently giving my baby Heinz cereal for 4+ months. I've always thought cerelac and co are for 6 months old and above.

Ok my "Engrish" teacher. Thanks lol

justwise:


'Please don't be silly' is NOT an insult. Its not the same as saying...'you are silly'

Hahahahaha Phema u be clown ooh. Even Justwise sef go laugh. Lolz

Phema:


Na me ban Justwise.

Oga Justwise kilode na. Pls na I kno that though we r all adults here some pple still insult one another but I believe we cann actually make our points by not usin harsh words too. ("Don't be silly")

No one can force d other to use a particular doctor. If one has an experience it's ok to let us know and it's up to us to decide whether to take it or not. I remember when some pple criticised MIHS but I still went ahead to use them and my experience was fantastic.

Also reviews r meant to guide us but onne thing I av noticed is that d whites expect exceptional service and when a little thing is done that they don't like, they put up bbad reviews.

Just like d reviews online for Crossland, they were nothing to write home about but one NL member told me to ignore d reviews I see online and I actually stayed there without avin those experiences that pple stated in their review. So I guess it's different withh individuals. Maybe because we r Nigerians so we r used to poor services and keep quiet about it (not me though cos I must talk) so we don't really see d smallest fault as regards services rendered abroad.

In all let's just calm down pls. No need to be insulting one another

My two cents oh.

justwise:


Please don't be silly. Did i create that website or post a review there? How about respecting other people's view?

Phema na u our Oga don ban abi na me no understand

Phema:


This post is hidden and the Poster banned. You better don't beg me

*wakes up from sleep*

God is ur strength dear. Above all just keep praying and let d bible be ur best friend (if r religion is Christianity)

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

Just keep trying dear but I don't advice givin baby cereal at night warranting u to wake up. I feel for all these our children, they can actually sleep tru d night. Wakin up to eat at night might just be habit.

jess20:


Still trying to wean mine. He refuse taking only milk so I have to wake up in the night to make cereal for him

Thumbs up

lovinam:
I successfully weaned my baby without crying episodes. I stopped feeding during d day, we do night feeds twice before morning. I started giving water but found out he gets hungry at night, so I introduced milk. I give him 250ml before he sleeps and early in the morning. If he wakes before then he takes his water which I keep close by. I wish all mothers successful weaning( e no easy o, d others no easy like this)

Hello MadameU, I came back to naija via emirates. U can check in carseat for free at d check-in counter as long as u r with an infant. For d stroller, check it in at d door of d aircraft so that when u get to dubai u can collect it as u r leavin d aircraft.

MadameU:
Dear Nairalanders please is there any one that has travelled with a car seat and stroller back home using emirates? I would like to know if you were charged for the infant car seat, at check in was it counted against the baby's baggage allowance or just checked in without it counting against the baby's baggage allowance? Thanks all. God bless us all

Phema abeg wetin bro's Justwise delete na?

Phema:
Justwise!! Aaaaarrrggghhh!!!

If u do all that has been said and it's still there then it's yeast infection diaper rash or candida diaper rash and normal diaper rash cream won't solve it. The treatment has to be done with antifungal cream containing atleast clotrimazole (so my paediatrician friend said)

My son had it at one month and I thought it was normal diaper rash. I used different kinds of diaper rash cream but none worked. A paediatrician friend recommended mycoten cream that. I should apply it at every diaper change for 3-5days. This I did and after two days d redness was gone. I used it till d 3rd day afterwhich I switched to sudocrem.

mytestimony:
Where una de. Mk una cm to my rescue please. Am worried

At times after usin sudocrem, I apply powder on his butt alone but I do that once in a while.

Mzora:
@kaffy4bill pls after applying the sudocream when changing diaper,do I need to put powder?

I guess it's diaper rash. Always make sure to change his diaper on time and clean him with d wipe very well. For me I use wipes for urine, for poop I use wipes too but wash after usin d wipe, dry then use sudocrem.

Where una de. Mk una cm to my rescue please. Am worried

Beryl15 there is a thread for that on NL. Just use d search box and type Give birth in canada and u ll see it.

Beryl15:
pls ooo..help a mama in need.
i know this question has nothing to do with this thread( before someone eats me alive )
Does anyone know anyone that knows someone who has given birth in Canada?
I'm thinking of having #2 there if possible. #1 was born in the US and i can go back for this one, no issues.
i would really appreciate any info from you guy.

Ask her if d daughter eats sweet/sugary things? If yes she should stop givin her annd if no, she should take her to d hospital cos it might be an infection.

FynBabe:
No, not like a tap. Yes she's potty trained but she said since yesterday she no longer uses the potty, she can't hold the pee. When she rushes to use the potty, b4 getting there, she would have peed already and she said the interval is like every 30minutes and in very little portion. I called her to know how it went last night and she said the baby peed twice @ night, this rarely happens as she stopped peeing on the bed when she was a year plus. Thanks for taking out time to respond.

Demiiii this is exactly my story. I. Got my visa while I was single for vacation purpose.
she doesn't need to travel to d US. She should write d letter of intent and send to them.

My hubby applied while I was still in naija and we travelled together and though my elder bro is in d US, we didn't use invitation letter from him. Her hubby should apply while she is here and his purpose should be to witness d birth of his child and assist his wife. D only document d VO asked my hubby was a copy of my visa page though he carried more than enough document including a well funded bank statement. 90% of d questions d VO asked him was work related.

But if ur sister av d money to spend by going for a weeks vacation, all well and good. In my case I didn't see d necessity of it

demiiii:
I really appreciate ur response.

I need infor on this too!!

I have a sister who got a visa from the us embassy last year 2014 but was unable to travel for the reason stated -holiday . She wasn't married as at the time she got the visa, she got married dis year and now pregnant. Although, the pregnancy isn't visible yet.

My questions are
Should she write a letter of intent to the embassy stating a change in travel plans as she is yet to travel for holiday and now wants to have her baby in the Us.
Should she quickly go to the us for a week or too in oder to fulfil the actual reason the ticket was give. This is in order for her to have easy entry when she wants to go and deliver her baby later dis year.
Is it ok for her husband to go and apply for the visa now or wait till when she has travelled to deliver

Should her husband get an invitation letter from her mums brother to take to d embassy.
What should be written on the invitation letter- assistance of his wife with delivery or just holiday since telling together.

She doent have an email from the doctor where she wants to birth has he only attend to her when she gets dere.

Help guyz like u have always done.

Same thing happened to my boss when she wanted to birth her 1st child in d US. She was stamped in for 2weeks without option to extend. Luckily she had Canadian visa so she travelled to canada from d US by road at d expiration of d two weeks and travelled back to d US by road from canada. She was stamped in for 6months and had her baby afterwhich she came back home.

B4 d NL crash, someone here had almost same issue(cant really remember her story well) She travelled back to naija and went back to d US almost immediately usin d same POE and as God wud av it met d same cbp officer but she was stamped in for 6months

If she can travel back to naija, fine then go back tru another POE. If not like someone rightly suggested, travel to a nearby country that allows entry if one has US visa and then re-enter d US tru another POE.

femoric9:


SO WHAT CAN WE DO PLS ? SHE IS HERE WITH ME AND DEPRESSED.

Don't worry dear. D left breast produces milk too but maybe not as much as d right. Try and feed ur baby more with d left breast.

Oluqueen:


Will look for it and buy.
Tnx Sooo much. I have one other funny wahala o, please I unknowingly got used to breastfeeding with my right Breast and now the size of that one is times 2 or 3 the left Breast. It's even obvious when I put on clothes.

I have tried feeding my baby with the left one but it seems milk doesn't come out. How do I get both Breast equal again.

I go soon resume work, can't imagine going with two unequal sized Breast o.

Thanks hotstepper. I will definitely need ur help as regards d doctor when d time comes.

Hotstepper:

Yes it should and since you have paying cash, u can also bargain. Dr charged her 1500 initially as that's wat she deposited but after delivery, Dr told her that she now charged her 750 so she should come and take her balance when she's less in pain. At least that one go be enough to get the baby's naija and Canadian passports and birth certificates

I kno it's cheaper than most US hospitals though. Ah! That's good oh as regards ur email to them.

Phema:


Thanks Nita. This being on ground thingy is the only snag I have about the Canadian birthing process. I like to know what I'm up against, especially cost wise, so I can be prepared.

Then again, how do you explain to the CPB that you can afford to pay without recourse to public funds if you don't even know the cos of the whole process?

By the way, I emailed the Canadian Embassy in Naija to ask if it was legal ffor to apply for visa solely to go have a baby and they answered in the affirmative.

It depends on some factors.
1. D baby may be reacting to d diaper
2. It's possible u don't change d diaper on time thus d skin reacting to d urine or even poop.
Get sudocrem. It works like magic.

Oluqueen:


Tnx. Have heard about the prince and princess, will give it a try.

What causes rash on baby's buttocks?

My dear I called her and she said same thing Hotpepper said that I av to be there first.

Yes that's what I was trying to say previously that it's safer to get d vis b4 getting pregnant.

My boss said she didn't write to d embassy though. That she just went in like that at 36weeks and cos her tummy is usually small, they didn't notice but if they had noticed she wud av told them.

I m waitin to see anyone that has sent d letter of intent to d embassy and their response. I sure kno US is more straight forward with things like this.

Phema:


Wow! Please tell me you got the hospital's/Dr's details from her. . . I'm pleasantly surprised.

I think the best will be to apply for visiting visa before getting preggy and just write to the embassy to inform them afterwards.

Abeg explain oh. Detailed explanation will be highly appreciated

Hotstepper:

OK. Get visa first. My family friend is home now. Her total bill is not up to 4000 CAD dollars and it's CS ooo so Vaginal delivery will be a lot cheaper.

U can ask me why it's cheap and I will explain

Choi! I don start press up for second missionary journey be that oh. My boss said she paid 3200 Canadian dolls in calgary and I felt she wasn't tellin d truth oh. Dis is another MIHS Oh

Phema:


4k?? I think its time to go for another "missionary" journey. Nita2013 come and hear oo.

Abeg explain my sister.

Uwc dear. Well for me, I ate all those u mentioned apart from orange. But I ll say stay away from sugary things. Milo and milk helped in d production of my breastmilk.

cancerlib:


TX for the replies. Are there foods I should avoid eating? MIL said not to drink milo n milk, nt to eat okro, veg oil, orange etc.
