that means i have to get it ooo. my baby's dry skin makes me cry. thanks

We had same. Baby tribotan couldn't clear it. We turned to skineal(I really don't like it if I have an option). sudocream also works and is more affordable. Then get a good antiseptic for bath water and to rinse his clothes. All iz well.

@AlphaHandMaiden and Babythug, thank you for your responses.

They are nine months old. They don't like it initially when I introduce new food to them, though can change their mind later and take the same food they rejected, that's after like weeks oo and that's if I keep trying to feed them with it .we will be away for about six weeks. The load of food go plenty oo.

when i said entire journey, i didnt mean the entire time you will be away. i meant the period of time you will actually be traveling. ie. flight or car journey time from your home to your destination, and any transit times you spend in the airport.

So if for instance you live in Ibadan, travelling to New york and transiting in Amsterdam: you need to carry enough food from when you leave your house in Ibadan till you get to the place you will be staying in your destination city in america, plus a few extra days worth of food as if you arrive at a stupid time, the shops may be closed and you wont be able to buy anything till the next day.

Example:

Ibadan to Lagos - lets allow 2 hours
assuming you arrive 3 hours before your flight allow for this in your calculation
Lagos Amsterdam - 6 hours
transit in Amsterdam - 3 hours
Amsterdam to NYC - JFK- 8 hours
JFK to where you are staying - assuming 1.5 hours

total - 23.5 hours
you basically allow for 24 hours food, milk snacks, and bottles for your journey ( handbag and hand luggage) plus a couple of days extra for when you get to NYC ( in your checked in luggage).

pack each travel meal separately in transparent freezer bags and label them: for example breakfast bag will contain, milk, cereal, fruit and snacks, bottles, bowls, spoons and bibs. same for lunch, dinner and any other meals

it makes it easier when you get to security and you need to bring out your hoard of "liquids" and fluids and food

take only the meal pack you need in the plane or car journeys in your handbag put the others in your hand luggage.

if you feed your babies just before you leave home, put the first food pack in your handbag, you may need it in the car so it should be within easy reach.

when you get to the airport, during transit or before you land move the meal pack for the next meal into your handbag. because when you get to your destination....... they can put your hand luggage into the booth and there may not be a good place to stop the car and retrieve it so either you keep it with you or you move what you need into your handbag.

Pack the foods you know your babies like and take without much drama, this is not the time to be experimenting if you have a fussy eater.

Aim to feed and do your nappy changes before: you get into the car, plane and before you land. - Immigration queues can be long. if you arrive at the same time an A380 packed to the brim is arriving from China, or india, immigration will be packed to the hilt and you can easily be on the line for an hour or more. the airport staff may not even see you to give you preferential treatment due to the crowds so plan ahead.

if you are checking in a buggy, and you are transiting and will need it in your transit airport- IMPORTANT!!! Make sure you let the check in staff know you will need it in your transit location ( there is a special tag that lets the ground staff know it needs to be returned to the plane doors at the transit hub - because they can collect it from you and the next time you will see it is at your final destination! very very annoying!!!


allow extra time for travel, and clearing security, because of the food you are carrying, they will check, swab and scrutinise, EVERYTHING. if you dont leave enough time you can miss your flight!

I receive the grace to type like you chei! job weldone

Mamas I need your help o. My dd and I went somewhere last week and spent the night. I was so angry with our host cos mosquito nearly killed us. In the morning I saw so many mosquito bites. I quickly called my family doctor to ask what preventive malaria drug to give my dd but he said not to since she doesn't have malaria. A week later, I have noticed slight temperature in her since morning. She's 15 weeks 3 days old. What preventive malaria drug can I give to her.

Also, I have been battling with post partum depression. Most times I just feel like bursting into tears, but at such times I pray and it subsides. I guess part of what is affecting me is the fact that I don't have a job and I'm broke. I earn each month from a kindle business I do monthly, but its not as much as I used to before I left my fashion business (had to close my shop when I was pregnant as I was terribly sick for 8 months). What do I do to overcome depression? I can't go back to the fashion fully cos I have sort of lost my passion for it.

Goodevening mamas, pls I need suggestions on baby carrier to buy. Product name and price will be appreciated. Secondly, my 2weeks old baby and 1year 7months old both have catarrh.

What's even the cause of catarrh now sef? No rain and this catarrh is dealing with all of us at home.

My kids are on vitc n piritin and their own is better now. No more blocked nose. My own n hubby's own na gobe.

@Godmother, maybe you should see her doctor for prescription.

Please work on your mind! Whatever you don't allow can't abide in there. Why are you no longer interested in business? Was it not bring you enough cash as expected? If it's only for the purpose of passion you no longer have interest, then you may look in yourself what other things you have passion for. Above all, pray and ask your Maker for direction.

Please mamas help a worried mum, my baby will be 6 weeks on Friday, there is so much heat coming out of his body as in when am carrying him I will be feeling the hotness coming out of his body but he is not running temperature because I have been monitoring his temperature and the highest is 36.8.

zimunachimdi:

You can only use those steroids for one week, don't use it for longer.
My baby had same very dry skin issue and his doc recommended hydrocortisone cream for one week, then to switch to Dove soap and either Neutrogena or Nivea moisturizing cream for him. His skin is almost completely clear now. I plan to switch the cream to Johnson's jelly afterwards tho.

My mum noticed this when i went home and she told me to give him water more often as the heat is as a result of him being hot inside or dehydrated. I did it and it reduced.
Just make sure you keep him cool and not overdress him with cap, socks, mittens, blanket and all.

I agree with the Tomy review. It is very comfortable and durable. I've used mine for my 1st 5years ago and 2nd child used it too and I intend to use it for the 3rd too

Thanks @mitchyy two of my neighbours told me this morning that I should stop covering him and I should stop wearing him overall at night.

Olubankemi, I called our family doc and he told me to treat her with coartem for babies if her temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees. Then concerning my fashion, I guess I'm bored. I ve been into it since 2006 and its no longer challenging.

Thanks a lot for caring. As soon as I saw your reply my mood lifted a bit.

How are you and your LO?

I wrap cotton wool around my finger and wet it. Like really wrap it well so it cannot loosen and fall inside lo's throat.

Ok ma. Thanks for this. I'm guessing it's only water you used in wetting the cotton wool abi. Cuz my MIL is on my neck to use glycerin instead.
