Godmother:


Mama, I ve stopped the regal gin. I took just four bottles (the small one) over a space of three weeks and then stopped. Then, what alternative can I use if I stop the gripe water. I don't want to just leave her like that.

Infacol is okay, though I didn't use it but mamas here confirmed it.

Tell grandma to help massage with hot water as mitchyy explained in that screenshot. Its very effective.

My mom does the hot water massage morning and night when bathing her. I'll look into the infacol. Thanks a lot.

Get a wig. Saves time and money. Get knit dresses that don't need ironing. Also ankara bedazzled is the koko, me I'm going to get some and bedazzle them myself. But some women just know how to handle these things, I usually see them in church, coiffed perfectly, beautifully applied makeup and nails, nice outfit and I wonder...

Are you telling me? Been in a wig for the past month. Only problem is I don't have a hairbrush lol.

My colleague has a baby same age, yet she looks like a diva everyday. I can't even fathom it.

Don't worry then, it's a phase she will surely pass. You will just realise she has outgrown it.

kisses to her and weldone to grandma!

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

I do the ones I can and leave the rest. I cannot come and kpai untimely!

Do the little you can do, rest ! Pls, don't kill yourself o, cos life will continue. So pls, sleep while baby is sleeping, back baby if you have little things to do.

Don't work round the clock. The only chore I can ask you to do while baby is sleeping is sweeping, may be Lo is in the bedroom, quickly sweep your sitting room.

Good morning to all mothers, pls I need suggestions on how to mix fruits to make natural fruit juice for my almost 2years old son he takes caprisome to school everyday and he is already getting used to it. I want to start blending fruits together to replace the daily caprisome and don't want to combine rubbish to avoid him rejecting it.

You can start with just squeezing Oranges for him. Then graduate to mixing oranges and grapefruit.

Then move to watermelon smoothie and maybe apple and cucumber. But your best bet is oranges and grapefruit. Since they remain liquid and won't change color. The others may change color when it gets oxidized is exposed to air

damiso:


I don't get it especially for one year olds, one year olds tend to cry all through their parties so why all the stress. From 5 ehen, when at least they can have a feel of 'its my party'. I think a lot of extravagant One year old birthday parties are just for the parents.

Forgive me mummies.. followed onegai here

Welcome and thanks for stopping by!

Here's your souvenir- two bags of baby dust

Hmmm. Caprisonne habit can be hard to stop with kids and that's why it's best to introduce it as an occasional treat and not an everyday thing.

Do you have a juicer at home? Without a juicer to remove the pulp, it might be a little tricky making juice in a blend/consistency that he would accept. If you do have a juicer, then pineapple juice might work. Orange might be a little tricky as it can have a ting of sourness.

Pineapple + orange is another mix.

You can actually mix pineapple with just about any fruit (because of its sweetness). Combos you can try include pineapple+apples, pineapples+water melon, pineapple+Banana, etc.

Another option is to prepare smoothies using a blender or a smoothie maker. However, to get the best results, you have to add milk to any combo of fruit of your choice. You might also want to add a lil bit of lemon juice or lime just to ensure it's well preserved till lunch time for your son.

Fruits in its natural form is better/healthier than juice. So gradually replace juice or caprisonne with fruits he might like such as pineapple chunks, apple slices, bananas, etc.

Mamas, pls as a breastfeeding mother:what are the "okay" fruits i can take?

Hello mamas, my baby pukes half of d sucked breast milk after every feed, what can I do to stop this, its getting me worried...also he doesn't remove his mouth from d breast when he is filled, he keeps sucking n sucking till he starts coughing n when I try removing he will start crying n bring down d roof...choi!!! what do I do o.

Since I saw those pics of caprisonne with some slimy particular in it, I made up my mind that it's fresh juice all the way for my los. At least, I get to know the content of what they are taking unlike the packaged ones.
My personal decision though.

I feel you. It's really not easy. DD is 8 months now and I'm back working (from home) so between caring for her, the house, cooking and working on my laptop, I'm a mess at the end of the day. When she naps, i try to catch up with work or send a quick email so I'm unable to clean as much as I would like. Now that she is crawling, she is putting all sorts in her mouth (cc Onegai) Peep her diaper from a few nights ago *Graphic pic*. I'm currently interviewing for a help. Can't keep up anymore

My darling...

Firstly, you should have tagged your post "Graphic Pics" because that is Nairaland's rules . Secondly, save that pic: one day when a 14 year old is rolling her eyes at you in a bid to be saucy, simply upload it to FB and tag her.

Us mums need all the ammo we can get

Overheard one woman talking with the cashier at hospital once of how they realized one battery you know those tiny ones was missing and asked their toddler if she swallowed it and the girl said YES. So they rushed to hospital I think they even got ambulance sef and dr ran tests and did all but battery nor gree show up!

Only for the maid to sweep the next day and guess what turned up??

God help somebody with this children......

*sighs*

When she eventually asks for a phone, they should calculate ambulance fare+Dr+Tests and deduct the money from the price of the phone and give her the balance. If all that is left can only buy a cardboard tube and a string, let her manage it!

Today is #GonnaBeatDisBaby where we share the harrowing tales of what these little monsters, I mean, darlings, do to annoy person.

Madam has started loving pulling things down and climbing up stuff. You know those tall standing fans? She went to one and started pushing and shaking it till it fell, nearly clobbering her on the head. And I was like "if that hits you on the head, I swear I'm gonna beat up first before I check if you're okay because I told you to stoppit 5 times already in the past 10 mins"

Where do I start 4rm sef. Immediately she hears baby bro crying, she runs 2 him n put his feeding bottle in his mouth, which I av warned her 100 times not 2 do. Yestdy it was her remnant stale rice she brought from schl she fed him wit whirl I was busy preparing his bottle in d kitchen, 2 days back it was biscuits, last week it was yam. Iv suddenly turned 2 an excavator, digging food particles out of ds mouth tanks 2 his sis.

Yestdy, hubby poured cockroach powder by corners, next tin I saw madam chewing mouth while I was bathing baby. I panicked, shouted 4 dh, he came, checked her mouth nd washed wit water. I wasn't satisfied o, I dropped lo, smealt madam mouth, it was ok, bt I still gave her d Nigerian number one remedy 4 poison, red oil. D gal just licked it n went on 2 oda mischief. God help me.

#GonnaBeatDisBaby

Where do I even start from.

DS has this unexplainable desire for climbing esp tables, and he will sit at the edge. He fell once when I wasn't there for two minutes after all my threatening of tapping his bum.

He loves rearranging my workspace especially pieces of leather stacked in its space so everywhere looks scattered.

Dragging buckets is another one as well as drumming on the toilet lid.

The utmost desire of wanting to feed himself at all cost and having a some food poured on the floor.

Everywhere as at the time am typing this , is in a rerearranged state.

I have been saying leave that, drop that, I will tap your bum since.

God help us.

#AnActiveBabyIsAHealthyBaby.

Ahswear, why are they always moving their mouths! That is how I saw her moving her mouth after she had gone to the box of Napthalene balls and Laundry detergent. And we are living through an actual cockroach infestation (we have tried cockroach powder tire) because fear will not allow us buy Sniper.
