In other news, baby Fedora was dedicated to the Almighty God yesterday

@ Florena, I was laughing wen reading ur rant cos it was on dsame thread or new born thread, can't remember now, dat one mama was complaining dat her muminlaw goes 2 her room 2 sleep @ 9pm leaving her alone wit d baby till mrn. I think apart 4rm d old practices ur muminlaw came wit, she is ok o. D truth is u ll miss her carrying baby 4 u except u av helping hand. Wen my muminlaw came after a mth I put 2 bed, we already decided she ll stay in our room while dh relocated 2 guest room. Immediately baby wakes@ night, she gets up, feeds him n pet him 2 sleep. Except on some nights, den I get 2 breastfeed him n hand him ova 2 her. Day time I leave him wit her nd go n catch some sleep. She took care of baby while I did all oda tins, cooking, loading d machine n all.
Wen I'm @ my mum's place, immediately baby makes noise, she hands dem ova, she leaves her room 4 us n goes 2 sleep in dad room @ night bt checks on us 4rm once or twice @ night. She cooks n washes clothes. My mum also believes in d navel pressing. She did same tin 4 all my 3births. So njoy d one u can n tank God u r going 2 ur house soon den u can do it d way u r comfortable wit. Pele, remain small.

Florena:
I've been meaning to rant here but vigilante no gree me, but since we are discussing d issue let me pour it out.

As a yoruba, d naming ceremony of a males first child is done at his parents house, (I don't think its all Yoruba sha), so I'm still at father in laws house, my MIL is killing me, and when you correct her she will tell you she as been training kids since.



My point is that you should choose your mom first, so u can say no to her frankly, my mom will always ask me what I want to do for my baby whenever she's around, she does not just take decisions on her own.

This is serious.... my SIL spent only two weeks with us since my MIL is late, she wanted to behave like ur MIL too but I had to lay Down my rules abeg I can't shout. The baby carrying part is so annoying, If I can't carry my baby nobody will ... I told her that I don't want him to be used to hand as I will soon go back to work so she only carry him whenever I give him to her at my own will. I prepare my baby's water, not too hot... pls don't over massage my baby with hot water. After bathing him she hands him over to me I do the rest... it is well Dear.

freshtestimony:


Congratulations to you and your wife, I think jazzyjazz has answered your question.
Secondly am not in Nigeria so I don't knw if you can get it in one of the big pharmacy there.
I didn't order online, I bought it over the counter here on black Friday.

Ok thanks. I wish you can help us buy but shipping is the problem. I will try and search for it in Abuja Malls

how do you people lay down rules pls, MIL is 65 and she believes she knows everything. I'm already planning my escape route, maybe when I'm finally free I will share everything here, I'm going through a lot.

My mum shakara too much. Told her to come b4 bsby comes she refused.
My mil came b4 baby came but she is older.
She tried but i can't send her on errand but she tried gan o.
Cooking n all n she is a retired nurse.
But she is old n left a day after naming.

My mum came d day baby was born n today that we r 5 weeks she is still here but leaving in 2weeks.
i prefare my mum o. But we disagree gsn due to personality issues... we no dey ever gree from time immemorial. Lol
But she does anything i want. Anything. Am free with her. And she knows so much about child care. In fact she has so schooled me that i can bath a newborn n do every thing.

Mil's believe they came to enjoy.... but ur mum believes she came to work.
if na to go stay mumsy place.... u can go o. U need her even if its 4 d first 2 weeks.
Then MIL can start coming.

Cc. Florena

Very wrong assumption at the boldened. It depends first and foremost on the individual. And the relationship you have with your MIL.

My mum is late, so i never had the predicament of having to decide who comes first, but in all honesty it wouldnt have made an ounce of difference.

I cannot quantify the assisitance i got from my MIL. She was even in the delivery suite with me and hubby, she was the first family member to even hold the baby as i had an instrumental delivery and hubby was in theatre with me. She even spent the 2 nights i stayed on the hospital with me sef and told hubby to go home and sleep.

She had her beliefs some of which i didnt always agree with but what i know i can let slide i just indulge her. Like the oil in hair thing chai, it was like generous anointing .... but hey no one ever died from applying excess coconut oil on the head na!

The ones i dont stomach at all i will tell her ah mummy please oh.... abeg my liver no reach thank you or ah mummy just kukuma kill me first before you do that to dd. And she respected my decisions.

I didnt bath or dress dd for 2 months, and she most of the cooking. All i did was to boil pasta and rice, becausr we like it "al dente" and she doesnt know how to make it without being too soft. She will even bring breakfast to me in bed, when vigilante wan nearly wound my enemy.

She offered to move into our room to help with the baby but i refused as that is my marital bed and sanctuary. And with the whole "invasion" that a baby brings i mentally needed a space that i could sti call "my own".
She respected that But she was free to come in and check on us at any time T.

So it depends on the individual and not all MILs are out to come and groove and not lift a finger .

The work that woman did ehn.... if you share am give 5 people..... 2 inside go die, one go dey ICU and remaining 2 go dey normal admission.

lawvlypearl , nawa ooo. If she couldn't care for you as a pregnant woman, why did she insist you come to stay with her?!
Just to score cheap points I presume. She may have felt she as husband's mother should be given the 'honour' instead of your mum. This is still undastandable but she conveniently chose not to do the 'work' that accompanies it.
Women and petty competition are like 5 & 6.
Sometimes, I tire for we women.

In my time, na my mama oo. Either I go her house or she comes to my house. Every other person, na jara. Mother Inlaw has been saying her Mum will come. Every time I hear that, I nod and say yes ma.
For my mind, I dey wonder which serious help a great grandma go fit give me.
Na to come enjoy for her grandson's house na
No wahala about that so far as God go keep my Mummy and enable her do omugwo for me. I Kent shout...
Make house full but I must see that my sweet Mummy around me when I born. Truth is na your mama fit do most of that newborn/new mother care pass. A few MILs can do it too. E no easy na.

Mommas dropping it like its HOT, congrats, your joy shall be permanent in Jesus name.How I wish I was 30something weeks already
Please I need help with this heartburn,milk isn't working again, my chest is seriously burning btwn a nurse told me I shouldn't be taking milk daily that it can cause protein in urine ,how true is that? Sounds strange to me.

I took milk every single day. In fact, I had a stash in my office that I would lick whenever. I never had protein in my urine. Maybe it's different for different people.
