Working class women were coping with it before disposable diapers came along undecided

Working class men were also coping with donkeys and horses before cars came along.

Firstly you wash the urine /poo off,enduring that it's clean,then you use hot water ,then add lil bleach/hypo leave to absorb,then thoroughly wash with mild detergent.

See it's not always easy in the beginning,but once you're use to it,it alot easier.

I don't think it's hygienic unless they're washing it in boiling hot water.

Certain things need to be disposed of

Mama, can working class nursing mothers cope with it?
Same question I intended to ask
Which caregiver go even accept to dey arrange napkin that is stained with poo ? Because of course, she won't thrash it but will definitely keep it for the mom... hygienic it's not even proper to keep poo on napkin for too long to avoid bacteria.
Anyways just born as your hand reach because even the napkin I believe you'll be changing it from months to months.

So what happens to some parents using nappy(napkin)

Baby food can be alternated ja're....the mum does exclusive breastfeeding for 3/6 months.

Then improvise with pap and tombrown with enough grinded crayfish,fruit puree.

Women should learn how to be creative n learn ways of thinking outside the box.

As for soap they can always use native black soaps/,cusson baby soaps (I still use it as my regular soap)

For creams....okume Shea butter is also a good one.


What type of hunger lifestyle is this, imagine using napkin in this age. It’s not making sense at all. And for the food it’s okay and fine. Remember the quality of these food are not same anymore (gmo/pesticides) and what do you mean using black soap. That thing that destroys an adult skin.

Abeg, if you’re not ready for basic responsibilities don’t have babies. Hospital bills scan come at any time.

When do you plan to delay having kids until? You are 35 years old and still broke. What gives you the assurance that you will accumulate substantial wealth by merely postponing having kids for another 3 or 5 years? Why hasn't the magic you hope to invoke in 3 to 5 years worked in the past 35 years?

Delaying might not necessarily solve anything, especially in an uncertain environment like ours, where inflation keeps rising.

You shouldn't be getting married at all if you and your spouse can't take care of/train at least one child, comfortably.

You have a point though but I know a couple who decided not to have kids after getting married and just relocated to UK and will be having their kids there.

Cool. They probably had other reasons for delaying pregnancy. Whoever has 20 million to japa in this economy is not broke (by Nigerian standard).

Even if i have N10b in my account, left for me, the traditional and cheaper way would have been my way.

But you know women, my wife wouldn't agree, so for peace to reign, i will buy diaper and sma gold, as far as i can afford it.

Why should she agree? If you had 10b, why would you opt for that?

If you had 10b, would you even continue to keep using the same car you're using, if you have one?

A friend to my first boss, exports scraps to Europe, he owns one 1 car, and barely drives it, since his family are based in New York.

He resides close to his dump, or junk yard at long-bridge, after redeem camp, in the outskirt of Lagos.

Mind you, he owns a house in banana island, but barely stays there, unless his family are around.

So owning a car is not a measurement for being wealthy.

There are people out there that are prudent on finance, no matter the billions in their account, you can still see them eating road side food, and example of a prudent and quiet billionaire is Peter Obi

You evaded my questions. If you had 10b why would you want your wife to reuse nappies?

God has been faithful... My baby is just getting bigger every single minute of the day, the diapers that I bought no longer fit🤣 she done pass am(still thinking of what to do with it. Had it been I knew, I would have simply bought one but I'm already used to buying things in bulk, her clothes nko? She don pass them, na to do shopping for her again. Omo, it's not easy but God made it easy. Taking care of kids in this era is for the strong-hearted. May God see us through.

I can agree with the use of shea butter as cream but certainly not the napkin or black soap.
Some babies fills up the diapers within a space of 2-3 hours, how much more when a napkin is used( that's more work)
I'm sure no mother wants to be changing and washing napkins every 4 hours, and as for the food, EBF is good as long as the mother eats very well and she can supplement with pap or any other solid food that is good for her baby once the baby clocks 6months or more.
Everything can be managed with the right planning. The bad economy has got nothing on us.☺️

Don't ask me such question...

In other words, using napkin is a bad thing to you.

I don't know why you guys always think a noble wife should willingly engage in back-breaking and archaic tasks.

Due to the current harsh economic environment in Nigeria,most couples who have managed to get married are now agreeing to delay having kids.
This use to be done by most white people but it it gradually creeping in to our society.
Though most mother inlaws may raise an eyebrow to it but most times the couples normally stand their ground.
The price of pampers and baby food and cream and soap has skyrocketed and if one is not endowed enough ,guy man that use to flex and go clubbing on a steady may be forced to start begging for handouts to take care of the newly born baby.
There may be repercussions though of not having babies immediately as when they may now decide that they now have money and want the babies to start coming but the babies themselves will now take a break from coming.
The situation is in a dire strait.
apart from the harsh economy i personal advice couples to give themselves 2 years cause alot of men and women have mastered the act of pretending all because they want to get married , then they let hell lose once they are married , some are mot me tally stable some have crazy habits , some are bisexuals , some are yet to come over their ex , once kids arent involved to get rid of such people is always very easy , i know the case for f a gay man caught in the act by his pregnant wife in their home
