Haa! I lasted the whole of Wednesday and felt like a superwoman. Then yesterday, I was breast feeding and crying. Ahn ahn..nobody warned me it would be this painful o. I did not even know when i brought out the formular. It is well o.

Giddyperson:

1. I didn't do CS but I had leg swelling post delivery which later disappeared on it's own.

2. Try to make sure you put the areola in the baby's mouth, not just the nipple, the whole black part of the breast. They taught me to do that in the hospital so I had nipple pain but only latching was painful and not the actual sucking and it totally disappeared after the first few weeks. You can buy nipple shield too, some people say it works.
Had the same issue transitioning to EBF too, first time I tried, I lasted just 18 hours ish before I gave up, the next time I lasted over 24, then I decided to stop putting hot water in the flask and that was the end of formula. If you really want to do it, when next you run out of formula, don't buy another 'just-in-case' pack.

3. You don't need any medicine. You need paracetamol at home tho for rainy days, and abidec won't hurt, so you can reach a middle ground and buy these two. Me whenever someone starts disturbing me to give the baby a medicine I don't think she needs, I just start to carry the medicine about so much you would think I'm giving the baby overdose but I never actually give her

Ok ma. Thank you.

Lol at old life back , sorry dear, for the cs stf, other experienced Mamas would give you inputs on that,
I also experienced the sore tips thing with my dd, but all I did was to continue to allow her suck and that was what healed it, although the nipple cream also helps too but you still have to keep putting her to breast, would be painful but it will heal,its a phase that will pass too

I was also told at the hospital too that u don't give drugs unless it's absolutely needed, my mum even bought all the said drugs but I refused,i mean y should she be given those drugs when she's okay, you just have to try and convince them pls. The only thing I think you might need for now is the paracetamol(panda) for immunization ish, other sabi Mamas would help too.

Thank you. Will start with abidec and paracetamol. Thank you everyone. I appreciate.

Mignone, bonjour,

Rats and mice are a special breed of vermin. One finally understands Tom's excessive dislike of Jerry, especially when your mice visitors decide to show up prancing up and down your curtains... in the living room... in front of your Guest... whom is meeting you for the first time in his life... from another, better-run country. Quelle Horreur!!

Not that it ever happened to me, bien sur.

Now, since you live on the ground floor and plugged all pluggables, you must accept one principle of Housing In Lagos: the ground floor of most apartment complexes are home to rats and cockroaches. So, either you move...
... Or you get one of those sticky glue traps, lay lots of paper in waste bins, add a sprinkling of old bread and surround the bin with glue trap and wait for those little bastards, I mean, les bebe Jerry's, to stick on them at night. Rats use routes along the edges of walls so either get them on their routes or their destination. I must warn you, a shrieking, struggling-to-free itself mouse cries at 76 decibel levels of sound. So be prepared.

Au voir, I'm off to write 2 blog posts and feel very sorry for myself: I ate chocolate fudge cake yesterday even though the world is melting down. And I feel so guilty now...

dear mama's, pls i need info on how reliable NISA PREMIERE hospital abuja is. i want to register for antenatal using NHIS. pls do they treat NHIS customers well? or is there discrimination?

Gudmoni my great family. hapi to 2b among u all . Am 4months for my 2nd baby but no movement yet n am getting damn worried. plz is der any drugs I shud b taking DT am not taking for a healthy pregg?

Some women don't feel fetal movement until 25-28 weeks. It all depends on how your baby is laying inside you and where your placenta is located. You can go for a scan and tell the attendant you would like to watch the screen you would be suprised at how much your baby is moving. You should be taking ferrous by now I'm addition to flic acid. Or just buy pregnacare of u can afford it

Lastly I suspect u are team december.you better come and register with us o

I have like one or two tiny ones running around my house too. We have bought eat gum, kill and dey, gbogbonishe but for where? Smh.

Wake her, she's still small. If it's formula she ate you can do 3 hour intervals. Breastmilk digests faster

Wake her up and feed her, she'd probably go right back to sleep after the feed, that's all they do for now.

Laureen007:
So ladies I have a testimony (genotype issue), mistake I made I didn't bother to check mine or my partner's before anything.
So when I went for my 12 weeks scan, they took blood to test for Down syndrome, and other chromosomal abnormalities, and after like a week they called me and said I am a carrier for sickle cell (AS) and I should ask my partner to check asap so they know what step to take next. We live in different cities and I told him, I was panicking and so was he, he finally did his and his came back AS . All these while I have been thinking of a lot of things, what would happen if God forbid the baby turn out to be SS being that the baby has a 1 in 4 chance, I was scared. So they asked if I want to do a test (amniocentesis or CVS) to find out if the baby will be AA, AS or SS and what would I do if the baby is affected, if I would terminate it or not, I couldn't even answer them. Anyway i decided to do the test last week, (them shook big needle for my belle to reach the placenta and collected bit of it) very painful chai. I have been praying that the one in 4 chance of AA my baby will be and today the midwife called me, I was panicking and she said it's good news, immediately my eyes opened. Baby is not even a carrier and not affected either so that defo means AA and all other chromosomal tests came back normal, I am just so happy, I am relieved now. And baby is indeed a BOY. God is good .

Cappo @Anugod gender is XX

Sorry for the long epistle

Boy na xy

*sobbing*.. I want my old life back!!! . Thank yoh all for the kind wishes on my BS. Wish i can mention everybody. For the remaining July mamas, easy peasy delivery.

Still Preggy mama's, enjoy each moment now o. Nobody tells you anything about the stress of vigilante. In all, we bless God. I have a few questions so mama's if una wake up, make una respond o.

1. Mama's that had CS, how long before your tummy started going down? Did you use a post partum belt/abdominal binder? If so, when after CS did you start using it and what brand(s) did you use? Also did your legs remain swollen after your surgery? How long before my legs no longer feel like tree stumps? Cc @hunniesuzzie and other mama's that had CS.

2. My baby can suck for Africa! I stopped formular feeding two days ago and now my nipples are the most painful. It was so painful this evening that i could not give her to suck. I had to go back on my word and give her formular and now my husband won't talk to me, says why should I give her formular , that i should endure . I have Lasinoh nipple cream and I apply every 2/3 hours but my nipples are still sorest sore. What can I do?

3. I wasnt given any drugs for my baby from the hospital, asides from the few drops they gave her after delivery due to the trauma she encountered. Now my mom, sister and sister-in-laws won't stop pressuring me to buy this vitamins and that vitamins. Please should I buy ? They said Abidet, Baby Vitane, Panda syrup, gripe water etc. Which and which am I supposed to buy? I called my doctor and he said best practices dictates not giving medications to a child unless it's absolutely needed but the people around me dont want to hear, even hubby sef so make una advice me abeg.

PLEASE DON'T JUMP AND PASS O!

about the Tummy, just reduce carbs.... don't sweat it babe, once you are eating less carbs it would go down, breastfeeding helps the tummy too. About giving your baby drugs, i didn't give multivit sef, make sure your baby is feeding well, if there's a fever give pcm, and head to hospital, and vit c for colds as well. Goodluck sis

1. Sorry i cant help with question1


2. Make sure she is latching properly the ni.pple should be at the back of her mouth with good portion of the aureolia in her mouth. If she is sucking just the nippl.e it will hurt.

If your hubby complains about feeing formular.. when next you are breast feeding tell him to sit opposite you within arms reach and use your free hand pinch his nipple for the duration of the feeding... intensify or relase your grip base on how your own nipples are hurting
if he makes any sound..... just tell him "darlin, endure!" After 30 mins. Na im go wash bottle give you.

3. She doesnt need any extra vitamins.
If she is formular fed, formular is fortified with all dhe needs

If she is breastfed, make sure YOU are taking vitamins formulated for breastfeeding mums. She will get ALL she needs from you . Except she is peescribed extra by a doctor

UmmTwins2, thanks mama
Goldenheart002, i wish i can just be like you
