It's not just the amount, but some qualities a professional creche should possess. Most times the amount can be attributed to the location.



Ok. thanks for the enlightenment. I'm still pushing FTM.

Bossladymo, its easier cos where you are there's hot water running tap. Here na cold water oh, at times freezing water. Please say it well, before some mamas will open cold water tap on their baby's bum. lol

I only just moved here na...was in naija up until 4-5mths ago. And I have been using water for my babies since they were like 3mths or so.....how cold does naija water want to get? Its not like you are bathing the entire body.

Doc told me the whole illness in creche thing actually builds their immunity. It's inevitable. But you get the advantage when your 12yr old kid can easily shake off cough or cold, while Iya Musu's son has to take the entire week off school.

At times my tap water can get really cold oh, especially in the mornings or when it rains. I clean my baby's bum after poo with warm water and her caregiver's do same at the creche. It has to be warm water for my daughter, else she'd scream down the roof.

Of course...the few times it's cold, you can easily warm up water or take water drom the flask. But with naija heat....if it's still the same as I remember....from the tap sef the water go dey hot lol

Eeehnn ehnnn, while my friends daughter's doc told her that the daughter's cough is viral and advised her to change creche since the present one is over crowded.

its d premium pampers i tried, i ve used huggies frm day one till she turns 1yr, it leaks most times, mayb i no dey sabi do d thing well sha undecided lol or probably have bn buying d wrong size.
NoQualms1:


lol. I had to stop wipes totally when nappy rash didn't allow us to rest even after changing from one brand to several others. I now use water jejely. As for diapers, I still prefer huggies, Nigeria Pampers is BS, Pampers Premium is on the same level with huggies. I only use Nigerian Pampers when I go out and forget to take diapers along. It's safer than most.

@nggie, I believe the palm kernel oil will clear it, just be patient.

Of course you wont open your eye and put your child in a dirty creche to build immunity lol.....but children catching illnesses from Creche is inevitable. The doc just told me to brace up for the next 6months at least....but it will ease up after then. And the older your baby is, the more chances he has of catching something.

huggies wipes is very very gud, it was because i couldnt get to buy dat day n i decided to try Dr Brown dat messed up her bum, for gud two months was battling wit very thick rash( i dey vex) loll, tnx to all mamas here who introduced baby tribotan,it works wonders.
shndy:

Johnson wipes is d only one my boy has bn able to tolerate, heard huggies is gud too.

Seriously what's the big deal in washing thr bum with tap water. I only use warm water on my boy wen d weather is cold. Babies only get used to what they are exposed to. I Av a niece, if she bath with room temperature water she'll catch a cold, her bath water have to b hot, this is cos of how she's raised. Its nt as if u r bathing d baby with cold water...its just d bum and only when they poop.

thanks mama, she is just 25days old. Am not really worried but anytime mumsy is with us, she will just start panicking saying thats how convulsion starts.

Another thing is d way mumsy always cover LO up even when d weather is very hot, my baby reacts to it & has started having rashes.

Hi mamas.
Gerber vs Heinz vs Cow n Gate cereal and baby food ,,, which would u choose?

Cancerlib , i have tried all three and presently, my lo who wl be five months soon is taking all three cereals. i give her one cow n gate or heinz food(those ones inside a short round bottle) to take to the creche while i also put either of the cereals in her bag too. i bought a mix of all three but the only thing i have notcied is that heinz and cow and gate cereal are sweeter than gerber cereal hence they do not need as much milk as gerber, infact if u dont add milk self,its gud to go provided your LO isnt choosy. il send you a pics of the various types i have wen i get home.

Am pretty sure if u c sm pure water factory u wnt dare. Pure water is far from pure lol, its just chemically treated water. Even if it's pure its still advisable to gv them boiled water till a year old
