I have the Graco snugride classic connect too, I used it for my last baby and recently using it for my latest baby. It's durable.
As for carrier, I bot evenflo breathable carrier, it's been good. But for your baby's weight, he may outgrow it fast so you gat to look for more durable ones. They are more pricey anyway.

Grace and Chicco make the most popular mainstream brand of car seat review. Most of then are pretty decent and btw, just Google the car seat you want to buy, enough reviews will pop up. Get the Infant carseat you can carry everywhere rather than the convertible car seat. How much your budget is will determine how good your baby carrier is: Ergobaby has a pricey carrier that distributes the weight on your shoulders so it doesn't hurt but it isn't sold in Nigeria and costs over $200. Perhaps you shouldn't buy any of those fabric-wrap carriers as they offer the least amount of support and are mostly good up until 6 months (when baby starts to weigh a ton). What you can do is check Amazon's customer reviews on what you're interested in and there was a website I used to see the best car seat reviews (Google it because I can't remember its name). HTH.

Btw, I bought a Graco convertible car seat Mysize65 and I used the Chicco Nextfit a friend loaned me. I like both

I thinks its for babies that can at least stand while the regular one is for babies that can at least sit.

Hello ladies, pls I need your opinion on potty trainning my 22 month old.she doesn't want to wear pampers anymore and won't sit on a potty to wee.she is used to seeing her elder brother standing while using the loo so she won't bend or sit to go.
I trained the brother with potty from 8 months likewise her, the brother adjusted well during his time but my small madam does not want to tow the line.
I am in a dillema now.your opinions will be appreciated.

Some kids don't just like that potty thingy.
My first two kids never used their potty for once, I started putting dem on toilet direct but will put the children's toilet seater, my oda kid is 22months and has been uisng her potty till it started leaking, so she have started using normal toilet. I attached a pix of the seater. Hope this helps.

Probably because powder (especially Talc) is very irritating to babies' lungs. Its particles are too big and easily settle in newborns' lungs, eventually causing future questions like "my baby has a cold", "my baby is always coughing" "my doctor prescribed Augmentin/strong antibiotics for my baby" etc.

Most pediatricians don't like powder, especially dusting powder and they don't really help with rashes (powders work by absorbing the excess moisture around the area, keeping the area dry and airing it/exposing it to air works even better).

I didn't buy the baby car seat, i went straight for the convertible one. I like graco products so my sentiments will be with graco. For baby carrier u can buy the evenflo baby carrier, pls don't bother about the ones of 5k o to me it's just a waste of money and it won't last you for long at all. I don't have an idea for walker didn't buy one where the road i wan use am lolz. Goodluck

Its not even advisable sef after 1 month cos of the particles getting to the lungs which can affect proper breathing. Instead of using powder dress ur baby appropriately for the weather don't cover too much don't mind people telling u babies don't recognise heat they so know heat wella. Avoid powder

An infant seat will be easier for you to carry to church and everywhere than d convertible that's heavy.

Downside is by 10 months or so the baby will outgrow it on time. However, if this is your first child other babies following will use it cuz u will use the convertible for quite some time

Since u need a walker too just buy a travel system (which is a matching car seat and stroller which functions together)

I bought graco, not sure if it's the connect 30 but graco is a good product so u good to go

Do go natural , Olive oil , Coconut Oil, Almond oil do wonders for the babies skin and the good thing is they are natural and contain no preservatives .

Wow.... Ure just blessed... Many are looking for half of the opportunity..... Lol. Thank God for you. I've come to realize it's a natural phenomenon. Some have in excess, some moderate and some have to struggle for every drop. No matter what they do (taking tea,oats, pap, palmwine and the rest of it. God be praised.
ozycy:

I poured breast milk too, I don't take anything special, it's just natural. I kept pouring breast milk especially those days after birth that the breast milk was still yellowish angry, I kept storing them but couldn't use them cos I had to travel. The breastmilk I stored in the freezer for close to 2months now, haven't had any reason to use them. If I want to leave baby at home for a while, I can pump 6 Oz in 5 minutes or less, am still pouring BM up till now. I wish I can donate. #justranting#
