Not every woman can breastfeed.

Yes! while exclusive breastfeeding is best. Do you know how stressful it is?

A baby eats like 8 times a day, that is very 3 hrs with crying at night.

Imagine a human that is totally dependent only on you for survival disturbing you every 3 hrs to bite your chest for 10-30 mins at a stretch.

Where will you find time for anything else?

Besides some health conditions will prevent the mother from breastfeeding.

For example, we can't give ciprotab to breastfeeding mothers, if not the baby will have BLACK teeth and bones.

Many things like that

My patients as of last year told them they spend an average of 81k to 120k per month on infant formula alone.

Not even pampers o

Just de play, how did you find me here sef?

Meanwhile, a lot of mothers have done exclusive breast feeding with ease.
I exclusively breast fed my two boys for 6 months.

Yes, a lot of factors can hinder exclusive breastfeeding, but it’s still the best.

So you breastfed.

Consider yourself the luckier one.

Don't look down on others who couldn't due to a health issue or work issue. That reeks of privilege

I wonder what would have happened if your had for example, a peripartum cardiomyopathy after one of your pregnancies, this disease affects the heart so much that you would find it so difficult to breathe and carry your baby not to talk of breastfeed. The doctors will have to give you medication that to save your life, would be unsafe to breastfeed and dry up your milk supply. Many mothers will gladly do that and buy formula, just to feel better.

What if you had TB? HIV? Hepatitis B?


Please have a little empathy. Afterall all it takes is a pregnancy for things to go wrong and it could happen to any woman, including you.

Why are you hammering on complications, can’t you see beyond that?
Besides PO didn’t mention his wife had any complications that would prevent her from exclusive breastfeeding

Sma is 10k a tin, wipes is 1500 for 1 pack,pampers never follow , flask never follow

Medical Bill, clothes , baby shoes,

Omo.200k.no go reach

However.buy yourself

You can buy online.from jumia

To born for naija now is like a house project that the person continues spending on every year with no certainty of returns
Medical bills is obviously not part of the 200k ..


Just to get baby stuff and 200k is not enough ..

You must be joking.

200K might look like a lot until you start shopping for baby items. Diapers, formula, wipes, and even baby clothes can quickly wipe out that budget. Having a child today requires serious financial planning.
