I need to rant, I want to rant...I want to scream, I want to cry. My baby do not sleep if I don't dance with him for at least 30 minutes, if I try to sit,he would scream and cry his eyes out and then he will sleep for like 10minutes only for him to wake up and then the dancing cycle starts again from the top. we do this for about 3 times before he finally settles to sleep. My back and my stitches aches like crazy cos he has started this at 4weeks and he is almost 7weeks now. Infact, a part of my stitches got opened and I know the culprit is cos I carry him to sleep. Please how can I help him sleep, I have tried putting him in a rocker,tried to place him down and pacify him to sleep nothing is working and I am feeling really worn out. HELP!!!

That's why we (mothers) are unique and special...dont worry too much,God will continue to renew your strength. We will not do it in vain..AMEN

Lmao! I assume u are ftm!! It also happened to me, I just left my baby crying on the bed and sat in my own sweet corner crying with her too. It was crying galore that night. I cried eh cos I never knew motherhood was challenging. When we were done crying I kukuma wipe my face then picked her up and viam she slept off. It was and experience I will nevr forget and I've told her the story 1000x.

Saw on fb. Maybe u would need to put a country code. I hope its for real. It wont be fair if thhey did it to toy with people's emotions. All the best mummy
there is a charity organization in India that does that. So the poster made a mistake by making it look like the free heart surgery is sponsored in Nigeria. Ve searched for it and added india country code but d call was pikd by an engine. Nd later went off. So i dnt tink d programme is extended to Nigerians.

@Rieme, I also gave birth 9 weeks ago, I hv bn taking only warm water, no cold drinks, no pounded yam, lol, took plenty peppersoup, fruits & vegetables. I also usually place hot towel on my tummy when bathing & most importantly, exclusive breastfeeding.

It's not easy bt u hv to try. No exercise till after 6 months & with the consent of your doctor. Hope this helps.

Exercise is after 6 weeks not 6 months

6 months is late o!

Good evening mamas, pls I gave birth through cs my tummy is still very big. It's 2 months already. Please what can I do to reduce it. When can I exercise?

Are u exclusively breastfeeding?

Buy a waist trainer or use a cloth to bind your tummy it will help u reduce your eating

Also u need to watch what I eat, try and reduce your cabs and takeover of proteins and fruit

Moin moin, efo, ugwu, fish, wheat bread, plantain amala, etc
Try and cut off or reduce Palm and groundnut oil to the barest minimum

I kow it's hard to exercise as a new mom but start slowly, buy a skipping Rope and aim to increase the no of skips everyday.

Infant hood is in stages.... It's hard now but remember this stage will pass too and soon.

This reminds me so much of the days when my baby used to sleep only 5 mins. Crazy, I never used to get anything done! Some days I dint even take my bath

But now she sleeps 12 straight hours at night and naps 3 straight hours during the day. Best of all she puts herself to bed


There is light at the end of the tunnel, hang in there

Backing helped a lot during those hard times, as my baby refused to stay in a swing or rocket or even chill by herself for a second

@favoredgal, I did cs and I was asked not to tie any thing on my tummy or do any exercise so dat d place will heal faster, dat was what I did.

My tummy has gone down even without tieing anything on it. For me, I won't advice anyone who was sectioned to start exercising after 6 weeks.
