update on your question.

you need to consider the following:

Are you going by private car or public transport. either case i would suggest taking your car seat and paying for an extra seat if going by public transport. if going by public transport, check the seat belts the car seat is to be strapped in to ensure it is not bad, and also learn how to strap the car seat in and do it your self.

How long is the journey and where is the usual half way stop point? I have never been to Ilorin per se, so let me use lagos-benin as an example.
Ore is the half journey point which is about 2 or so hours into the journey so you factor in any breastfeeding and nappy changes to coincide with this time. it is also a good time to stretch and let them get out of the car seat for a bit.

If going by private car, planning stops are easier, public transport is usually trickier but people are usually quite considerate when a small baby is involved.

If you are unable to pay for an extra seat, and if you have a baby carrier - take it! and use it to strap your baby to your self to allow your hands to be free. whilst it is not ideal especially for longer out of journeys you can then use the seat belt on both of you but you may have to hold the straps out of the way abit as it may fall around baby's neck

Also since baby is like 4 months, you can put baby facing out in the carrier, this also allows easier bottle feeding and your baby is able to see what is going on and can be distracted by the journey.


Plan to bottle feed during the car rides in the car seat if required in between. and unless baby poos, any nappy change should take you from lagos to Ore and from ore to Benin.

Also change and feed just before your leave your base.
take at least two clothes changes including vests, and extra bibs and at least a pack of wipes for the journey,

take a big bottle of water as you may need to rinse / wash out stuff,

Take some nylon bags for nappy changes or for soiled clothing.


Hope this helps

Pix of the listed items pls

Good evening wonderful mamas, It's been while. Hope our los are fine, all thanks to God.

Mama zaynie, weldone for the beautiful work you're doing.God bless you & yours.

Please mamas, does anyone has experience with this GInt flask? I observe that the hotness is less than 24hrs, though I'm not sure if the culprit could be not pre-heating at first before use. And if yes, does that mean no remedy to it again? Are there other uses to it, or is it now as useless as the s in isle...please,abeg, ejor, biko, dohh make una help me chook mouth for this matter as money wey I take buy still dey pain me inside my bone marrow.
Note: this is the first time I'm using it since I bought it, the pic has refused to load

hunniesuzie:
Sorry oh, this may be a stupid question but I've always thought of it, why do you need a flask to be hot for 24 hours? Me I change my water every morning (5am) and breastfeed all night so the last time I use flask water is about 7pm...that's about 14 hours

Is it me that is doing oversabi or keeping hot water for a day is a thing?

AlphaHandMaiden:


Lol!!
the 24hr hotness is not for normal days, when you are home and have access to a kettle. it is for when you are travelling perhaps and are not sure you will get hot water where you are going. so it helps you buy time.

Its like all these deodorants that say 48 hrs protection.. my initial reaction is.... Edakun brother mi..... you no dey baff everyday? lol! but if you look at those adverts properly the people are you usually in some wilderness location doing some action man/ woman moves where you may not have access to a shower for a day or two....

hunniesuzie:
I laughed out loud @ the bolded. Thanks for the response, makes sense now. Lol JGracious thank God I didn't "waka come" alone, also you mix Formula with hot water but not boiling hot

imurboss:


Well, it's never a stupid question. The hot water is for both myself and lo, I still drink hot water almost everytime so once water is no more useful for baby, it becomes useful for me at least to help my tummy so I don't just throw the unused water away and I even wish the flask can even last up to 10 hrs in 24hrs self but it doesn't so you see.....I just need ideas on what else it can be useful for or is it just to throw it away since it's not serving that purpose

hunniesuzie:
If a flask can't keep water hot for up to 10 hours then that one is not a flask, even my small Milton does 7 hours no issues. Don't throw it away sha, you may still find some other short term use for it

goodfortun:


Lemme confirm. They have reached out to me. The pump is back working with the battery and the powerpack will be replaced per our agreement. It's actually a relief from the nipple pain. My initial fear was cos their numbers weren't going through but that has been rectified now with the New numbers. Thanks

Giddyperson:
Haha, Ijebu girl like me I'm way too attached to my clothes, that's a diary post for another day. Shoes I can do for my fellow big feet gang, size 42/43 . Until then

How much is your little angel diaper. 3-6kg, How many is in a pack ? Where is your shop and do you do home delivery?

Prettyhurts:
Stephmiracle I read your last update, I don't think the maggot entered his body cos you backed him while teaching so biko don't quit your nwa teacher job.
Many things can cause it:

* A bedwetted mattress that wasn't sun dried and was infested by a fly(it could be in your house or maybe where you laid him)
* damp clothes even wrapper
* where you kept him to play.

You are even lucky the maggot no multiply and you didn't even have to apply red oil with salt (it'll(maggot) come out to lick it) around the place to bring it out. I don't know if he needs antibiotics or tetanus injection, maybe you should ask his paed.

Good morning mama's
