Actually,I didn't knw whr to go initially.but idumota leads to balogun too.it was as if does people charmed me cos I made up my mind to price @ diff places first b4 settling to buy......but.......

Please its part of experience. Dont feel bad. I also went to one shop at first and kept buying and buying. Anyways the woman made me feel at home so I did not mind. Also after I have bought I dont share prices with people o. Some people are juat good at making u feel you have been cheated. Enjoy the shopping this is a special time. Also try the balogun mkt. Though dh said the market is very tiring.

euphorbia:

I ve nobody to follow me.

Waoh!

Just tot of something. Is it possible that mothers connect here before going baby shopping. Those that want to go to the same market and on the same day can then meet up and do some joint shopping. Might add more fun to the shopping experience and then two heads(or more) are surely better than one. #mythoughts

Good evening people, I am using my husband's account here, I am 18 weeks and I was advised to start shopping gradually, is anyone planning to shop anytime soon probably we can hook up, does anyone have an idea where we can get baby things at reasonable prices, I stay at ketu alapere, oriola to be precise, does anyone know any nice baby shop around there that the prices are good, was thinking of sending someone to help me buy things from US before cos I know I can get at good prices there, and has anyone ever used Kirkland diapers before, it's an American brand, my sister used it and it's really nice but it's not in Nigerian market. Also my baby just dey close leg and doesn't want me to know d sex, won't it be hard shopping without knowing the sex and please which is preferable, wooden or plastic cot? Plus I love this thread, and please does anyone have experience or know if inland specialist hospital is good, first time mom.

Kirkland is okay and cheap and good for sensitive skin, but it's not the greatest diaper out there for absorption (your baby will feel wetter faster and because you don't want to finish your diapers fast, you may want to keep the baby in it longer, causing diaper rash). Also, if your sister doesn't have a Costco Card, she may not be able to get the big discounts on the diaper (it's a shopping club, you have to sign up for membership and you must live in the US to have membership.

Go for a wooden cot, lasts longer. Buy unisex clothing in colours like yellow, white, light grey and no pinks or blue yet and let people gift you gender clothes for now.

So which diaper will you recommend that is good and that's alot at onegai for the swift response, God bless you and yours.

Thanks my sis,I intend to go with mum cos I know she can price things wella but I am already doing price research. I guess some things can wait like walker cos the baby won't use it until he is like 7 months or so. At least I can get all the necessities now and get the rest later.

Exactly. buy wot u need nw, and odas as d need arises and as u get d money

@dezzou nd @jumayin congrats u both as u graduate from ttc may u neva go tru dat path again and wish us all a successful 9mnths ride really happy 4 u too cos u wished me well when I was in d ttc thread. Dis is zeemoh2012

Congrats mama,u re most welcome onboard.I wish u a happy healthy pregnancy.

Tallgirlslim:
Mamas in the house, please I need your advice. I've been considering a USA birth.

Please any ideas? Pros and cons, cost etc. I'm a bit confused because even my mum said it's a good idea but no has given me a concrete reason why I shouldnt just stay here and deliver. Or why that option is better.

Is the only advantage US citizenship for the baby or is there anything else.

Please advise me o. I need to decide as soon as possible.

Thank you.

There is a thread thats mainly for that on NL, its named "Giving birth in US,Cost and procedures" search for it and u ll get all the info u may need.
