I hail all my blessed sabi mamas ooo!!

1) To my experienced blessed mamas pls nd pls how did u handle a baby dat refuses to tk medicine?? Its always a struggles wit my almost 8month old lo even wen d med is sweet ooo, d worst part I hate d most is throwing up d med afta so much effort, it drives me nuts!


My son is chief of vomiting drugs. This is what I do. I have a beaker where I put all the drugs he's supposed to take eg, if he's to take 5mls of paracetamol, 10mls of capquine and 5 mls of amoxylin. I put all in the beaker, then use the small cup that comes with the drugs to give him the concoctionin little bits.
I'll 1st give him 5mls, wait for about 10 to 15 minutes, give him another 5mls, wait for 10 mins and keep giving him till I'm done. After that, I wait for an hour or two, before feeding him.
I forgot to mention, I give him drugs 2 hours after his meal, so that his stomach will be near empty and even if he tries vomiting, nothing will come out.
No matter what I'm treating, I often add vit c, to sweeten the mix.
Oh, he's 4.

Hope this helps. It's not easy being a mum. God will continue to help us all.

Good evening mothers, please how do I use cold water sterilizer by Avent with that tablet thing.

My dear, implanon,pills,injections all have their side effects cos they are hormonal. Hormonal increases your apetite,thereby you consume more food, thus the increase in weight.
The safest form of artificial fp is the Iucd cos it's non hormal,just a little increase in your flow during menses for the first three month. And you can get pregnant almost immediately when you remove it.. Plus you must pratise good hygience once it's Iucd.
I don't like all these artificial fp methods though.. You can plan your cycle well,know when you are safe, oga can use condoms when you are'nt safe or when you are doubting(7days in a month isn't too much to ask for)...all you need is know your body well and plan.

DH and I slept by 3am today. The twins were just screaming thru the night. The both wanted to sleep with the bobby, and I couldn't give d two of them at once.. See fight! I got angry, removed their clothes, and showered them with cold water. They screamed and cried. My DH was shouting that I was wicked to have bathed them with cold water. They slept 5mins later. I looked at DH like "am I still wicked now?" may we reap the fruits of our labour o. Our children shall all be great. All our vigilante will not be in vain in Jesus name.

Stay away from soda( coke, sprite,fanta etc)
Meat pie( all forms of pastry ehen small chops too. Lol ). Reduce your carbohydrate intake( rice, yam, bread,sweet potato etc)
Eat more protein( beans, fish, chicken) lots of vegetable. Right now I eat rice once a week. I eliminated it for months but brought it back. I heard "basmatti" rice is good for weight loss. Drinks lotssss of water. Then you need to work out! Above all discipline your mouth( buy cane to flog ur mouth and throat). Lol

I m in Abuja so we use mudu here for measurement in d market. I do one mudu of guinea corn to half mudu of millet or one and half mudu of guinea corn to three quarter mudu of millet. A friend uses same quantity for both though.

Pls don't use blender because it won't blend it smooth and also might spoil d blender.

Shndy wat i do is to ask the person am buying the guineacorn from to also sell millet that will be ok for the guineacorn cos i dnt knw the exact measurement too.Then will advise to grind wit a mill cos it might be too hard for a blender and might not be smooth.

sorry,I think 18months immunization is only for vitamin A supplementation,or he will still need to collect injection join,pls educate me more on dis,and is it govt hospital u use or private,tanx


I use private hospital. govt hospitals give only the basic vaccine which are most times free of charge. you need to go the extra mile to protect your child from other dieseases. some people feel those are expensive, l feel and believe prevention is better than cure. e.g vericella i.e chicken pox vaccine is 10k and heptatistis A is N16,800 in the hospital i used. I didnt pay for Measles, mumps and rubella, my health insurance covered for them. If you have a baby boy, endeavour to give him MMR... l read somewhere that mumps may cause impotence in a male child.

one vaccine l wont want any mother to miss is ROTAVIRUS not more than 10K in any hospital, but you will not experience incidence of diarrhoea and vomitting when your baby is teething and afterwards.


at 2 years the baby will take typhoid and meningitis vaccines;
