Please help me o. plenty thank you.

Hehehe! This is just me!
Pls cc me IF u find solution. Thanks

helovesme:


request to see their food menu list for each day/week and ask what time of the day each meal is served.

also ask if there is an onsite chef and if meals are prepared fresh from scratch at the nursery everyday- (this is very very important as I once visited a nursery whilst I was searching for one for my child and they told me the meals are prepared 2 weeks in advance and kept frozen. . WTF !! ). also ask for a brief visit/tour of their kitchen.

if the menu is varied and covers all the key food groups and they are all prepared fresh from scratch everyday onsite by cooks/chefs in a clean/decent kitchen, then maybe you should consider this option - if you can afford the extra cost.

my child attends a nursery where all meals are provided covering breakfast, lunch and supper. there is also a bowl of different fruits just by the exit door and the kids are allowed to pick on their way out whatever fruit they want to munch on. this means that rather than having a child snack on unhealthy food like cake, biscuit or caprisoone, etc on the ride home, the child snacks on fruit which is very healthy.

kids that age would love to eat what their mates/friends are eating so your child might refuse to eat his homemade meals and get upset and insist on eating what his friends are eating.

personally, I actually prefer the option of meals provided by the nursery as its super convenient for me (who has time to make fresh spaghetti Bolognese or chicken mushroom soup at 6am for a toddler's lunch).

I'm really so scared o bcus even when i prep food 4him on Sundays,he wont eat o,rather he'll eat from my sis...

2weeks what?! Haba for kids!? Dats not fair o! Shebi na God dey help des kids!

My son loves freshly prepared & tasty meal(if d food no sweet,he will never eat it,no matter wat u do!)

I'm grateful for your suggestions ma. Thank you ma

babythug:


I suggest you prep his meals this term and see if it's convenient for you and so on!

You can always Join the meal option at half term anyways and that will have given you enough time to scout and see if thier meals are to your standard and so on!

It's sometimes tricky though because some children will only eat with everyone else around them ie in the class is eating! In which case you may have " no choice" or decide to follow the school's time table for meal when cooking his lunch!

Good luck

Thanks ma'am! Hmm,my ds is the type that eats whenever he sees children eating around him!

I will scout as you've suggested and see how it'll go.
I truly appreciate your input.

Please mamas,i need help ASAP! My DS would be starting school(pre-nursery)next week monday. The school says they cook for their pulpils but were're yet to decide if we should pay alongside the FEE for cooking or always prep his own meal from home. I'm also yet to see the kind of food and what they give them daily(will do dat tmrw,God's grace). DH & i cant make up our minds yet dats why im here for help. Thanks.

Pleeeeeeaaaaaase,dont read and waka pass.

Thanks all in anticipation.

Yaaay! We were 3months yesterday!

Almighty God,all i wanna say to you is ese!

God has indeed being Faithful!

My dear go see a doctor please. I think you're reacting to something. I had that crazything sometime ago but I wasn't preggers then. I was given prednisolone, actifed, some injections prometazine. I was admitted for 3 days. They said it was a bad case of hives. I reacted to a cough syrup. Also used calamine lotion. Please see a doctor to ascertain the right drugs to administer. My skin was horrible but aveeno shower lotion and lotion took care of that.

Pls mama,did d aveena shower lotion cured d hives? Im presently expriencing hives and its so annoying.

Gr8fulHeart:

are u kidding me? Hmmmm pls who else has same experience with implanon. sansa143 I recall u saying that ur libido is zero.is it cos of d fp too?

Good morning mama's, pls don't iignore I will appreciate anything,
My lo, 2mths today is having cough and catarrh. We have been to d hospital nd de gave us drugs, Still no improvement, his nose is blocked, breathing is big issue and to sleep nau is a big luxury. Dont even know how to do steaming for him. Am just so worried sick, please oo.

Sorry ma'am. My ds is having d same thing but i increased my fruits intake so he can suck(vit c)from d bm.

For the steaming,boil some water,pour into a small bucket or bowl,add like 2 drops of eucalyptus oil(silver bird),sit on a stool/edge of d bed,put your baby on your tighs(his back resting on u)&hold him firmly,
then let someone help put a blanket over both of u say for about 1-2mins!

J0hnTrevolt:
Tnx alot ma. As for d food trigger, My baby eat lots of wheat cereals and milk. I guess dats d only food he eats to satisfaction and can't do without. what do we do? The piriton u talked about is it drug or cream and any idea of cost?
Tnx babythug

Sorry about your baby.

PIRITON or LORATIN syrup med(4 children). You will see how to administer it on the leaflet or pack. It will really help him.

Pele. Its well

As for the milk,i dont know wat u can do about that as babies still need alot of milk.

Other mamas go chook mouth

eksbabe:
Hello mamas, please is this how this colic is? Since ystday my ds was up at 12am and didnt sleep until 4.30, same with tonight again, been up since 11 and still same. Thought it was nothing much to worry about but the sleeplessness worries me oo. Please is it normal that he isnt sleeping at night as a result of this colic?

Sorry mama. Your baby will be fine. Its usually like dat.

My baby's coluc just subsides about3weeks ago when he clocked 2months. I had sleepless nightsss too and prayed for it to pass. Now,i sleep with ease but my baby can suck for africa,pheew!

Pele

Chanbaby:


My dear sister na so we see am oh. I used to sing very high suprano but now I can only sing on A+ so sad. At times when I go for choir rehearsal I will want to cry but seeing my baby gives me joy cos singing used to give me so much joy.
My dear google can't help us only God the giver of the voice can. So just ask him.

Thanks ma'am! I agree with you and i've been praying too. I trust Him for total restoration!

Naomi14:
@perfectcrown, I didn't use to sing in choir, but my voice was nice though. During pregnancy my voice thickened and After birth, it's worse. People that knew me before I gave birth, when I speak to them, they keep asking what happened to your voice. Abeg if you end up getting a solution, please share. No be only you waka come!

Thanks all d same for your input.

Someone once asked me(last year) in one of our rehearsals that what happened to my voice? It does not sound like before. I just smiled and "shifted".

I will mention you IF i find solution.

Thanks ma

Good morning mamas. Trusting God we all had a goodnight rest?! Thank God for the gift of life!

Please,i'm sorry to derail the purpose of this thread. I have an issue that has been a serious concern to me. Does any mother here sing? As in,are you in a choir/band? How is you voice texture now,after you've had your baby/babies

Do you sing with ease now? Are you still able to hit your fomer range/octave

I used to have a very "silk" voice. I mean i could sing any song comfortably but after i had my first baby(in 2015) till i had my second baby now,i cant sing comfortably again. My voice is ""thicker" now.
Could this be bcus of child bearing or age? Or bcus i've not being REHEARSING as i used to

I'm really worried ooo! I've googled but no useful info.

Pls is any mama in this situation? What is the remedy/advise?

Please tell me,i'm not in this alone.

Make una no waka pass,abeg una with God! Make una help me chuk mouth!

Thanks in anticipation.

temmytayur:
Good day mommas in the house, my dd is 4 weeks today and she pooed last on Saturday morning today is monday she's just bn farting no poo hope there is nothing to worry abt yet.No mind my question oo am a ftm and am all alone now.

My ds used to be like this until i discovered that i had not bn eatn enough veggies.

I started eating veggies sauce(carrots,green beans,cabbage,onions & very little amount of pepper)to eat with rice or yam. I also eat lots of lettuce,tomatoes,cucumber & onions(as salad without cream). This helped my baby to poop daily bcus now his poop has changed from "egusilike" to being "pasty".

Just up your veggies intake and also watch wat u take. Hth.

sassyangel1:


Coughs.... I wee nt say anything o. Infact, I use my BM to prepare Quaker oat for the family and it's very sweet and contains 100 vitamins and 200 minerals.

Eewooo ooo!

spiceeamiee:
Good morning mas. So many mentions. Thank you all for your advise. Baby is doing fine now and perfectly ok. She was discharged after being observed for two days. After much deliberation between I and my husband and plenty chooking mouth by my mom, dad, siblings and cousins, I have decided to go to apologise to SIL not because I think I was wrong but because I don't want to be the topic of discussion at home during Xmas.

Meanwhile mama's I have been having slight bleeding since on Wednesday. I don't know if it's remaining Lochia or its period. It's bright red. Please say it's not period please. I'm only 6weeks PP

Thaaank God baby is fine! Happy to read this!

You were/are never wrong! You did no wrong! You did what a good & loving mother would do to protect her child & God bless you for that!

Its good that you apologise so dem no go table your matter for christmas table instead of rice,chicken & wine for table Lol.

Its well with you. Pls kiss kiss to you baby.

AlphaHandMaiden:


Dont kill yourself oh! If you collapse in the office the only thing the idiots will say is that "ah she didnt say it was thats serious!"

Ask for your doctor to provide a letter to sign you off work that you are ill and Let them write that you are on admission at the hospital for observation for 1 or 2 weeks.

Call them to tell them at work and ask hubby to go drop off the letter for you.

Good advise!
Mama pls dont kee yrslf ontop anoda man's job o! Yr life and d beautiful life growing inside you shld b yr priority.

Pele. Its well.

Nimi22:


Cappo ithink size 2 is ok for newborn. Though it depends on d size of ur baby but as long as ur baby is up to 3kg (i stand to be corrected). My sister's baby didn't use size 2 for up to 2 months before they moved to 3. I got d molfix 2 sha.

You are so right mama! My ds even started using size3 b4 he clocked 2months! As in ehn,d boy just dey big! God be praised!

Pweetiebabe:
Mamas abeg Ayam confuse with size of diaper to buy o, I bought molfix size2 and one over sabi mama dey tell me say na size1 I suppose buy for newborn o, I called my big sis to confirm she said na size2 .... Make una advice a novice like me o.

Size 2 is perfectly ok!
For me o,dat size 1 is just like a waste of money bcus baby might not even use it up to a week!


And you know,d diaper is not suppose to be too tight on baby,so the size 2 is perfectly okay!

KingTom:

It's good for his health but don't force him you know in this part of the world everything is viewed as either effeminate or a taboo.

Where this one comot from?!

Prettyhurts:


Fowl or snake egg??

Giddyperson:
people like you should open a breast milk factory. Extract the milk then make it into a kinda formula and sell. I've always wondered why breastmilk isn't sold in cans

@giddyperson,no kee me with laff o,kai! Funny u!lil@breastmilk sold in can!

queenhecate:
Sis this is Nigeria oo. We all know the sil did wrong but the saying that when you marry a man you marry his family applies here.

So am saying spiceeamiee should tender an apology even if it is patently false cos her point that no-one should trifle with her baby have already being made and the apology is just to smooth ruffled feathers

Some people can be soo thoughtless even in their old age. So spiceeamiee no allow them make you their scape goat as them plenty reach and your husband come be last born join.

Nri ofu onye siri oha ha ga ericha ya mana ofu onye agaghi ericha nri oha siri ya.

Thanks for this @queenhecate! Its a difficult thing to do but it saves u alot!

I have been in a kinda situation b4(no b ice cream ish sha o).

If i wanna write about it,honestly it will take alot of pages on this forum!
Na to dey your own lane nah after the whole "apology" thing...

@spieceamieehws your baby doing now? Pele u hear? She will definately be fine and bounce back,in Jesus Name!

Stay strong!!!

spiceeamiee:
Thank you mamas for your input to my predicament. I'm sorry if i did I not respond to you personally. I'm beyond ragged out but I appreciate the kind gestures. We went to the hospital this morning and she was admitted. She has been under observation and series of tests has been run which all thankfully came back clear. The number of times she throws up has reduced from every fees to maybe once in 3feeds. She had a slight temperature earlier on but she is back to normal now. My phone has been switched off as the whole of Obinze town in Owerri has been calling me so hubby asked me to switch it off so they can call him. He has told them that we are in the hospital because of this Ice cream issue and when baby is out of the hospital and certified Ok, then we can visit the issue of apology or no apology but for now, anybody that is not calling to ask about the baby's well-being should stay away

Pele dear. May God's hand of healing touch her and make her whole!!!

Good one @ what your hubby did! Thank God hes behind/support you based on d call ish.

All will be well.

spiceeamiee:
Mamas good morning. My baby has been throwing up since every fees yesterday evening because someone fed her ice cream yesterday. Ice-fucking-cream! Who Does that? Who feeds a 5week old baby Ice cream? My 47years old Sister in law that you expect would know better. I'm literally shaking as I'm remembering this. Now my baby is throwing up at every feed. She throws up every thing she is fed and starts crying and then I have to feed her again and she throws up and starts crying. This is how it has been since last night. We would do n go to the hospital, just waiting for hubby to come and pick us up but she has managed to sleep and I'm wondering if anybody has any remedy for me.

Meanwhile, make una help me judge this matter as I'm about to go off tangent and insult somebody not minding she is almost 20years older than me. My husband comes from a large family of 9children and he is the last born and you know how large families are. Although they same mother and father, kwanta dey plenty so I dey try stay on my lane but I'm very close to my husband's immediate elder sister who had her baby 's birthday yesterday so everyone was there. I was in the sitting room with my baby but tge party was downstairs so this my eldest SIL (let's call her A) comes up with their eldest brother's daughter who is 9months and she starts feeding her ice cream. I did not say anything but in my mind I felt it was wrong. About 30mins later, I wanted to go downstairs and take something so I have my bay to my husband's cousin. Less than 10mins ,I was back and I saw my baby smacking her lips with A trying to scoop more ice cream into her mouth. To say i was she'll shocked is an understatement. This is a 5weeks old baby for pete' s sake!! How are you feeding her ice cream? I quickly dashed and carried my baby from her and said (not to her face though but loud enough for her to hear) that she should never try that with my baby. I angrily left for a friend's house close by and did not return to the party until my husbAnd was ready to leave. Now SIL A married quite late and does not have a child. That is where I entered trouble. I was told she went downstairs where the party was and started crying that she carried my baby and I insulted her, that is it because she does not have a child? That I shunned her snd told her never to touch my child. Hubby called to know where I was and he came and I explained to him. He told me not to pick any of his siblings calls and we went home. Everyone started calling hubby telling him to put his wife in check, that how can I insult A who is almost 20yrs older than me? Hubby told them that she fed out baby Ice cream and they said and so what? God knows I did not say any of those things. I only said no one should ever in their life feed my baby if I'm not there. Now MIL and FIL are saying I must go to her house and kneel down and apologise. I have told my husbAnd I'm not going. Now baby is throwing up and feeling lethargic all cos someone that should have known better fed her something she should not eat and I'm being asked to apologise for being protective of my own child. I don't want to apologise but I'm being pressured to on all sides and its driving me nuts!

Omg! Ice cream?! 5 week old baby!

My sis,pls just go and beg her(shebi na wetin she want be dat). I know its hard to do but 4d sake of peace(in your home o). Bcus if anything arises tmrw,yr hubby can confidently & comfortably DEFEND you. Ppl like her can be very tricky and blackmails emotionally. She will understand better wen she have ger own baby.

Smtinlmes IF ders misunderstanding btw sm1 & i,after i explain to my hubby he'll just say "go and apologise o or else na yr own dem go see"! But hubby usually talks & warns them not to mess up with me but me oh,for my body & heart,i go js dey "my lane",ive gat nothing to do with them anymore!
I know exactly hw u r feeling right now bcus no mother wouldnt protect her child & also apologising-for wat u arr not guilty off is hard bu 4 peace' sake in you OWN HOME.
I hope i made sense o
