Thanks mama,I want to know how they do this plastibel & how long it takes to heal

There are several videos of the surgery on YouTube. Watch it if you aren't too emotional, it doesn't last for more than 10 mins

Apply sheabutter but even if you don't apply anything, basic hygiene will cure it. It's really nothing to worry about.

I jokingly tell them not to kiss my baby. Same thing with touching the cheeks. Kissing a baby can give the baby cough sef. There's a friend I even went as far as telling not to kiss my baby with that same mouth she used in kissing her boyfriend and we laughed it off but av jokingly passed a message across.

Thanks mama,but how is the plastibel method done & how long does it take to heal,sorry for the my toomany questions I'm a novice in this aspect

It's done in the hospital but I couldn't stand seeing my son in such pain while doing it so I stayed outside. In a week to 9days,it should be off. Then you start applying penicillin ointment . My son felt the pain for few hours only on the first day and that was all.

Better than the Zulus doing it when they are at 18 years old. They must be matured to do it... Painful you think?

Our mothers believe twice is ideal. Please don't argue with her. I allowed it cos it makes my baby sleep better and longer.

I avoided these most times by putting my baby in a moses basket which had a net and an all round zip so you could only look through the net of the basket to see the baby. Even on the christening day, she was there all day except when I wanted to brea.stfeed her and so contact was greatly minimized without offence to anybody. Luckily, the basket also had a handle with which you could carry her around without disturbing her.
