Christine77:
Good evening all, please my first time here and also a ftm. I have a son who is a month n some days old. I am doing both formula and breastfeeding. However I noticed that whenever I give him formula, his poo is always watery (yellow) in color with small egusi like things in it.
Is it his formula? Should I change it? This was not how it was in d beginning.

Please all the gurus in d house I await your response. Thank you.

sounds like normal lol to me. Yellow is OK, and egusi is OK too. If he starts to poo too many times in a day or poo has mucus in it, that's when to worry

Hi Christine77,

There's no need to change the formula. The poop with seed-like flecks are very normal.

Just pulling legs joor

Jazzyjazz, you can come out now
So many things are involved in pricing.
Some even doubt you have the real deal just cos the price is low.
Some pay over inflated shop rent in places with no traffic.
The shipping and clearing in bulk sef is not child's play.
At the end of the day, money must be made.

@Jgracious, I'm expecting you o

Sansa143:
I just have dat strong feeling dat he will start wit mama!Let me borrow ur word ! The son of man has infected my boy wit WWE Raw(wrestling)dem sit s parlour d watch am!If papa shout,pikin go follow am shout!

Ha this reminds me of my big bro...he is a big fan of WWE and he used to watch it then with his son in the sitting room..virtually all the time..when the younger bro arrives, the elder one started practicing it on him..
My guy has to get another TV and watch it alone in his room.

You know it's different when you know the products are genuine

In this case one can clearly see that it's Ali express products being sold at a ridiculous amount.

I'm all for making gain, but it should be done with conscience na. I mean why buy at 50 Naira and sell at 5000 Naira?

I know people who buy and sell Ali express products and still swear on their grandparents armpit that it's designers!

Take for instance, I bought 2 lovely gowns 2 years ago on Ali express, dollar was still 150 to the Naira then. Those same gowns were going for 8k each on jumia and konga and one other online shop on bbm channel. I got those gowns at 3k each! And free shipping too!

You see what most of these people do is order in bulk, hey free shipping, and even great discounts too. Still they will come and cut off our head with prices that don't make sense.

Chanbaby:


My dear dont bother urself my Dh works offshore 2weeks in and out. The day he returned to work I drove his car in the evening and I heard my baby saying Dada. I looked at him and said so u know its ur dad that drives this car. When dh calls and my lo see his pics on the screen he gives a priceless smile and says dada. I'm happy cos this alone gives Dh a certain level of fulfillment. Dh isn't happy that he goes away for 2weeks so all this display of affection from lo keeps him going. I made a short video of his reaction when he saw his dad's pics I wish I could upload it here but it isn't working. I sent it to Dh and he was so happy.

The trick to buying baby food gadget is to check if you have anything in the house already that will work. The motivation for me was being broke! I wasnt working at the time so i had to be innovative.

I already have PLENTY kitchen gadgets so i just tweaked how i use them. I already had masher, steamer electric and pot! Food processor, hand blender, juicer, smoothie maker...... etc etc etc I think i only bought spoons, cups and plates.

For instance I already have 2 potato mashers in standard black - why buy one that is a baby size and fancy for 5 times the price.

I am sure many people have this and have no idea what it is for. Sometimes it comes in a utensils set

Also if you boil the food soft enough a spoon or for will do. Or you can use a spoon with a wire mesh sieve to make it smoother.

Why buy baby sized food storage bowls when you can use small bowls or silicone ice trays you already own that will do the same job.

Even baby cereals walai that is the biggest scam of all! Must the packs be so small? Why dont they make them in normal size cereal packs. From like 9 months i started cutting down and introducing normal cereals the healthy ones with no added sugar or salt.
Like weetabix, shreddies, rice cripsies cornflakes. From 12 months.... fully on normal cereals.
Everyone in my house can eat the same cereal.


I cannot come and go and kill myself because i have a baby.

The day I saw one of my gowns that I sell for 7k with beating heart sef for 16k! I was like how do these people sleep at night.
Still I believe it's cos I'm an online retailer, no shop rent or utility bills or sales person salary on my head.

wallai double thumbs up to you.

Akorkor i hope the heat rash is better now. So for the late response, i have been super busy.

I dont really use sudocrem, even for bum. So i cannot attest to how effective it is.

I trust other mamas have responded.

If anyone else mentioned me and i did not respondn , no vex oh. Probably didnt see the mention. If i do i try as much as possible to respond.

True.
Overheads matter a great deal if you have to pay for a shop and have a sales person to man the place and pay utility bills.... all that will be have to be added somewhere na.

If you place your shop in an expensive to rent area, you cannot be selling the same price with someone who is in a cheaper location....

Plus you have to factor in the day tax man will come and lock your shop if you have not been paying tax!

Even online shops i.e. if you have an online shopping platform and online payment options also attract their own cost. Websites attract their own costs as well, so all these things add up.

My time is very precious to me. Therefore i would happily pay more for convinience as well if i know i am getting a decent quality.
Because , by the time i do alaroro and enter market by myself, traffick, parking, my time, deal with area boys, spend 2 hours haggling price you may even tear your cloth or cut shoe in the process..... i can do the same thing in 30 mins over the phone and AC may even blow me if i walk into a physical shop.

Lol, we're in the same shoes. Once he sees his daddy like this, he doesn't allow anyone, even me sef, touch him. I'm happy cos at least, he doesn't forget that there's one man that he's related to even though he only sees him 1 weekend every 2 weeks

Story of my life.
The day danfo tore one of my most precious gown..... I heard the shredding sound and failed to believe it was my fine gown. For like a minute I was open mouthed with tears in my eyes. Driver and everyone was saying sorry.... To make matters worse it tore in the bombom area, thank God I wore underskirt and you know Lagos, you no go carry money come house so I had my exact tfare. Na so I carry open yansh waka go house o.
And just last week my very flat slippers slipped off my feet and fell into those godforsaken gutters with slabs on top. I stood in shock as my slippers flowed away with the current. I just cross road and enter taxi to come house. Now the other leg is at home useful for killing cockroaches .
The number of times I've had to buy another slippers in the market nko? Those alabaru always in a hurry.... Dem kan like to cut persin slippers. Now it's Crocs all the way
