No squeezing or heavy action in that area till you're ready to induce labour please. Other Mamas have explained why

beautyuche:
Before i got pregnant i read post on this thread. One of the mama here said her husband would suck and carese her nipples which lead to a miscarriage. So i believe there is a connection. Also women are asked to breastfeed exclusive which help regain flat stomach because d uterus contracts. U dont want it contracting when its not ur due time for delivery.
My dear na here i dey learn from great mama experience so if u can pls try and avoid it.

Roseey0:
It's connected
I remember mamas here once deliberated on it.
Sucking it especially causes the uterus to contract.Thats how exclusive breastfeeding helps women recover their flat tumy.

wow, I'm particularly surprised to hear this. Like touching boobs affects the womb.. Our body is such a mystery..

Thanks a lot for the insight..and thanks to God that I asked. I thought I could ignore cos it didn't come with pain.

Nimi22:
Yes i remember we talked about it sometimes ago. Pls let hubby leave that area for now. It happened to me untill mamas told me if I'm not ready to induce labour. Every time he touches or sucks my nipples my womb contracts.

thanks a lot.. now I know better. I only wonder why I'm just feeling it now, since this is not the first time, he will touch me there since being pregnant..

My dear i didn't even experience mine until around 20 something weeks and to say that's the only thing i enjoy about kpekus. So biko bear, before you know it February is here.

booqee:
Pls I need u guys to shed some light on this,

My hubby caressed my boob, and I felt like my womb contracted..though lightly and not painful.
Although I'm not entirely certain it's my womb contracting, or my my baby taking its first kick lol.. Since i'm just 4month..and I don't know how the kicks should feel

Again, he tried it, and I felt it again..whether hand or mouth, but this time it felt more like a nudge and more pronounced. Its not painful but it's not a comfortable feeling at all..

What's the connection with breast and womb here.. Should we exclude boobs in kpekus matter to avoid stories that touch? Or no, it doesn't mean? Like is normal and nothing to worry about? What's going on?

handling or sucking the breast releases oxytocin, which contracts the womb. Thats the connection. It's even a natural way of inducing labour.
I wouldnt say you should stop it entirely, but it should be very light handling. Pls forget sucking for now. Cheers

Feeling so relieved, picked up courage last night and packed my bag. Now I feel so ready

Happy Sunday my darling Mamas. Plz I have some questions about the Best Brands when it comes to Baby accessories, clothings etc cos am confused on which Brand to buy and what not to buy, dunno if these questions have been overflogged here ( you can refer me to the page to Check on this thread if they have been answered but not seen any tho).

I have also seen some products with their reviews online but am still confused ( you know you can't trust this online things atimes) , dats why I need answers personally from experienced mamas here so I can combine with the the ones I got from some few experienced mamas at my clinic( just so am on the right track) .

1. Best brand of car seat/ stroller to buy... ( is the stroller necessary here in Nigeria as per the hustle and Bustle).

2.which is better: Huggies or Molfix.

3. Best Brand of reusable diapers (quantity to buy).

4. Best Brand of Breast pad to buy

5. Best Brand of Baby oil, lotion and powder to buy ( johnsons had a bad review of recent so am kinda confused )

6. Best Brand of Feeding bottles, flask , Breast pump and sterilizer(or I just strerilze the old fashion way)

7. Best brand of clothings( sleep suits, jumpsuits, shawls, socks, moccasins etc) or can I just buy randomly if they look nice

8. Do I need to wash all the new clothings before use ?

9. Best brand of Baby walker and rocker/swing( asides mamaroo).

10. Best brand of maternity Bra ( am on the busty side )

11. Best brand of Baby cot, playard or Bassinet.

12. Best brand of Baby bath plastics ( can I just buy randomly too)

From a concerned FTM, plz don't jump and pass... Thank you in advance!

Theres no best anything. Money determines what you get and also what was the bomb for A, may be trash to B.
That aside,
1. I use evergreen but i see graco is better, comparing mine with a friend of mine.
2. Huggies(d one in transparent nylon dat comes in a carton) anytime anyday but na money kill am
3.no idea
4. I have only used avent.
5. Theres no best here o, i hv used johnson and doremi. Many mums swear by chicco.
6. Buy randomly but feel the quality. I like Georges and Earlydays anytime anyday.
7.feeding bottles: no idea though i hv always had avent but i think its your lo dat will finally make her preference.
Sterilizer: i have avent electric dat i have used just once, if i'm to advise i will say go with d manual old fashion way if electricity isnt regular.
Flask: Gint stainless will give u value for your money
Breastpump: no idea.
8. I dont but many here do so the choice is yours.
9. Fisher price, graco are good.
10. No idea
11. I use baby start but graco is a good brand.
12. No idea. Either buy the locally made one or the fanciful foreign ones.
Cheers

proudmom38:
Gint and Haers are good brand.

Thanks ma.

Pweetiebabe:
The 1.8L flask I bought is so good(not stainless), I was first given Emel product i put hot water @ night by d next morning d water was as cold as dog nose den I returned it and was given Golden angel(Romeo&Juliet) product, I put hot water and after 3days d water was still as hot as fire....

Thanks ma,know what to look for now.

My view

- Graco car set

- If you can get original huggies, it's good but I used molfix before I noticed the reduction in quality.

- Dunno

- I use Avent washable breastpad

- I use Aveeno wash and lotion, ASDA conditioner, boots oil & powder, Ammens powder, and they are cool.

- I use Avent bottles, Emel flask(very bad) I sterilize the old fashion way. I got Nuby sterilizer but haven't used it yet, heard it is good though.

- sleepsuits (George), Bodysuits vests Carter(bought from zaynie, very good quality she has) socks (carter) shawl (bamboo). you can buy randomly, if they of good quality and nice.

- yes, please wash them. I did!

- I use fisher price

- Mothercare

- Graco

- I bought the Nigeria type but I heard fisher price tub is good.

Best is dependent on what you can afford. Also more expensive does not mean better quality or better performing.

1. Best brand of car seat/ stroller to buy... ( is the stroller necessary here in Nigeria as per the hustle and Bustle).
The need for a stroller is debateable as someone mentioned if you live in a gated estate it may be good for strolls, also may be useful if you travel a good light weight one is a nice to have/ essential item.
Additionally if you get the set that comes with a flat laying pram attachment.... it doubles up as a bed in the house/ rocker. Ditch the moses basket and Park it in the living room and baby can use it for naps. You can easily release the brakes and move back and forth to rock baby.

For car seat along with other brands that others have added, maxi cosi and mothercare do a good group 0 car seat. If you will be carrying it about. Ensure to check the weight without baby oh carrying 7kg carseat + 9kg baby is no joke!

You may also want to think of a baby carrier. Its a nice to have. I also use mine to carry baby when in a car and dont have a car seat like when on holidays and stuff. Basically strap on baby and use seatbelt on both of you. Just make sure the seatbet is not on baby's neck. So you may have to hold it out of the way.

2.which is better: Huggies or Molfix.
Not sure i can help on this one. I would advise by a small qyantity from a reliable source and test to make sure no reactions before buying any bulk items

3. Best Brand of reusable diapers (quantity to buy).

Depends as well, for the same number of people that love one brand, you have an equal number singing the praises of another. So you may have to dabble a bit on this.
There are a few UK and US brands you can google up. However I am launching my own range by the end of the year, so i will keep you posted on progress. Frantic background work ongoing!


4. Best Brand of Breast pad to buy
Avent disposbles is good. But i mostly ised lansinoh disposables, and boots washables ( usually when at home)

5. Best Brand of Baby oil, lotion and powder to buy ( johnsons had a bad review of recent so am kinda confused )

6. Best Brand of Feeding bottles, flask , Breast pump and sterilizer(or I just strerilze the old fashion way)

I used avent bottles and medela bottles.
Also use medela electric breast pump.
For sterilizer i used the cold water sterilisation with Milton tablets. For the staining as some have mentioned.... this is usually in silicone based products so ensure you only sterilise such products for the stipulated 15 minutes. If you leave it in the fluid over night the colour will change.
No reason why you cant pop the items you need to sterilise in boiling pot of water for 5 mins.


7. Best brand of clothings( sleep suits, jumpsuits, shawls, socks, moccasins etc) or can I just buy randomly if they look nice

Also depends. You may forget quality when you see fine designs. I try to go for quality of fabric rather than design, also some shops have larger cuts than others for example next and tesco clothes are larger than say marks and spencers. So they will last longer.
Also for the first 3 months or even 6, try and keep clothes unisex.

8. Do I need to wash all the new clothings before use ?

Yes this is recommended

9. Best brand of Baby walker and rocker/swing( asides mamaroo).
Fischer price infant/baby to toddler rocker
Tinylove infant to baby rocker
Rocker roo.

10. Best brand of maternity Bra ( am on the busty side )


From one busty girl to another.... I used hot milk, panache, freya, and marks and spencer all had their pros ans cons, you factor in shape, also the outfit you are wearing, if you need to sleep in them ( some are more comfy than others for night time)
but go to www.figleaves.com and check their maternity/nursing section to have an idea of good brands.
For maternity bras.. getting fitted now is fine but I will advise getting fitted AFTER you give birth for a nursing bra. Your bump seriously distorts the measurements
Also DO NOT get an underwired bra especially when pregnant. It is not funny! ( you wont know when you will remove bra in the middle of a crowded bus to ease discomfort!) Many good brands have fantastically supporting bras without underwires the bands are usually thicker for this reason.

Finally get one a cup size bigger this is to allow engorgement. So if you are measured as a G cup, get at least a H or HH cup. (Come back, testify and thank me later! )



11. Best brand of Baby cot, playard or Bassinet.

Not sure on this but i have read the play/travel cot is a good versatile option

12. Best brand of Baby bath plastics ( can I just buy randomly too)

In all honesty , if you bath a baby like a typical nigeran, all you need is a bucket, a small bowl, a good study stool at a descent height and maybe an anti-slip bath mat. You wont really use a baby bath like that till baby can sit up properly - maybe about 9 months. So it is up to you.

Its all plastic, some are just nicer looking than the others
