Godmother:
Mamas in the house pls help a FTM. I have the following concerns:

1. My dd is a month today. I noticed that she stretches a lot, sometimes in pains. I give her gripe water but it doesn't seem to give her relief. She used to get some relief when I lay her on her tummy but yesterday and today have been different. She wakes up crying when I do. What can I do to relieve her of the pain as my mum says its her navel healing from the inside. I just can't bear it when she starts stretching.

2. My AF came exactly 30 days after delivery. I'm so angry now ehn, like the thing could not even give me a few months to groove. Anyways, I'm a heavy flow naturally, but on a normal day I don't use more than 3 Always pads (the blue one). Yesterday I used 4 and they were soaked through. I even had to augment with tissue. Is this unusual heavy flow normal? Is it because its the first time after a 9 months absence or should I be worried.

3. I gave birth via cs and I still have a small pouch. I took hot water, peppersoup, and regal gin for the first three weeks and the stomach went down a little. I'd still like it to go down some more. Pls what other methods can I use as the previous ones are no longer working.

Pls help a FTM

orirebaby:


Aiit boss. Will whatsapp you

Jennifer89:


Talking about people's opinion..... mine is not about my baby but what she told me was annoying.

I delivered through cs. So when my friend came to the hospital she said ' did you pray and read your bible ' and am like wtf because she had a virginal birth. Mheeen I just told her not to ask me such nonsense question.

Some people need a brain resetting slap. she felt I didn't pray hard enough or what.... does she know the number of days I prayed and cried to God to grant me safe delivery? God did it, My baby arrived and I'm alive cs or virginal birth the goal is # mother alive, baby alive, husband alive and plenty money#;d

I went to Balogun and got 2 pretty white dresses and socks for Baptism. She looked pretty, everyone loved it. If I could have used my Baptismal dress, I would have.

I think a lot of people get caught up in the "you must spend so-and-so for your kids" mentality. There is a lot of "have you bought this, does your child have that" going around and it only gets worse by the time they go to school. I have seen the party packs that come back from my nephews' and cousins' friends birthday parties and I am stunned at how much the parents spend. The worst I attended was a 1st year birthday party...with Photo booth, souvenir stand, 4 different caterers, a DJ, professional photographers, an MC and a cake stand, all themed. And all I showed up with was a card...

Is this what colic is? Never knew. I've heard of it but I guess I always expected it to be different. Thanks mama for the response and help

Eminya:
Hi mama's, been away since first week of this month, hope you and the charming ones are all good. I lost my Dad 5th of this month and everything just fell apat for me, I thank God in all things. I have A lot of catching up to do cos I left here on page 689 and wow I have over 30 pages to read.

comtem2011:
Yes, that is colic. I will advice you to stop the gripe water cos it has traces of alcohol, you can check the content to confirm and also, pls stop taking that regal gin cos of your liver.

Mothers without househelps, how do you guys cope? Please I need ideas o! My mum went back to her base two weeks ago and it's not been easy for me. Still sourcing for S househelps but yet to get one. Hubby had to take me to the hospital last night because I felt so weak but I'm better now. It's not easy taking care of my ds, the house. My husband etc. I'll appreciate useful tried and tested ways to manage myself. Hubby tries too but he works till night time so the only time he can really help out is on weekends

Planning is the answer!

Plan everything ahead as much as you can.
Make a fòod time table.

And contract out the basics like stew and soups if you can afford to. If not make at the weekend and in bulk. Dont try and cook everything in one day....

For instance if i want to cook stew it may take me three days or more to finish cooking,
as i boil the meat on one day,
dry it up in the oven in another day (less time monitoring it and far healthier than frying but same taste) ,
blend and boil the tomato mix on another day, and combine the stew on yet another day. That way i can do 30mins to 1hr as that is the maximum stretch of time my dd will give me.

The excess goes in small bowls that can take 2 or 3 servings and is put in the freezer. (This is to minimise the number of times you have to warm it as it will affect the taste)

So all you need to do on the day is to boil rice, pasta, yam or what ever.

If you dont have a pressure cooker, get one and your life will never remain the same! It halves your cooking time for things like beans, cow leg and such that takes forever to cook.

For cleaning: leave till weekend the big jobs for when hubby can help you.
If you must you do it in little chuncks. I.e you dont have to wash the whole bathroom in one go. If you have 5 mins do the toilet today, tomorrow or next do the wash hand basin and the floors and tackle th bath tub on another day.

Day to day, each person should make sure the bath is rinsed after every use that way the dirt doesnt build up so much.

For bathing: try having your bath before hubby goes to work so as he is dressing up he can keep an eye on the baby while you freshen up. At least before you get the hang of what your day is like and when your baby may give you a chance to do this when you are on your own.

Have a nappy changing station in the living room as well or if you live a multi level house/flat have one on each floor. This will save you going up and down to change nappy.

Also consider having a feeding station if formular feeding. Or have a nursing cover in the living room so you can cover up if you have guest.

Also remember that superwoman is a fictional character! So if the house work doesnt get done one day, the world isnt going to end.
