Daddy don't be confused. Everything will be fine.
Look for another good creche nearby to save on transportation costs.
While baby is in the creche, your wife will find it easier to look for another job or take classes to upgrade her skills or even plan to set up her own enterprise.

All the best.


Thanks so much ma.

All the best



Thanks and God bless you ma.

Mamas please, my 3months old baby's body is not smooth atall. He has been having series of rashes, I used tribotan and discovered that when the rashes clear off it leaves yellow or red spots and they are everywhere. He is very fair and this makes the skin looks bad. pls, what can I use to make it clear off and leave his skin without blemish, soap, cream, powder......anything please cry
mix the tribotan with Vaseline or any cream before using it for your baby. He has a sensitive skin. Once the rashes clears off, just let his skin breath. No cream for a while

Cussons no be better soap at all.

Boots soap, sebamed, Johnson's soap (the one in pink pack)



Is Nycil good? My baby is light skinned and I don't even know the soap to use for him. I want to maintain his skin.

Powder is not advisable to use on babies especially newborn
The boots powder I've is the one I bought for my daughter since 2016 and I just opened it yesterday.


Really? I don't rub cream on my baby's body cos MIL said powder is better. She rubs powder on his body from head toe. How do I take care of his skin (fair) if I don't rub cream or powder on it?

he takes milk very little milk.since he is now 6 months, I don't think he should be taking only milk.
Take it easy and feed every three hours,while still introducing meals, family meals inclusive.
Check out the other thread on baby foods.

I made this kind of post in a group and was recommended to used Debbietone soap and jra foundation cream. I started using it from 2months postpartum now I'm 6 months postpartum and my colour is back.

Its Ghana black soap in white container even the cream is made in Ghana so beware of imitation


How much is the soap and cream please?

my Boi took immunization on Tuesday, since then he has been filling pain on the spot of the injection, he his also feeling hot pls what can we do (we have given him paracetamol)
continue with the paracetamol every 4 hours. After 2 days of no improvement pls see your doctor. For the pain, use ice pack on the spot. You can do it like 4 times a day.

he isn't sick. I am breastfeeding even though he doesn't really take much. I have been trying different food all to no avail.the only thing he can manage a little is pap(with plenty fight o)
Wow he doesn't really seem to like anything. Just keep trying different tastes sha. If he doesn't seem to like sweet food, then try sour or bland. Pap with crayfish and no milk. Mashed Irish potatoes. He's 6 months so id assume you're just starting. It would take a while for him to get used to and for you to know what he likes. So if he takes 4 spoons of any food, count it as a victory for now and still breastfeed him as often as possible.

Good morning mama's, I want to ask the following questions. I wil be glad if I get responses. Thanks.

1. My 8weeks old baby nose is always blocked (from birth). He cries atimes and he is always rubbing the nose. I took him to d hospital, they gave him drugs but the nose is still blocked. I see dried catarrh Inside his nostrils every day. Please, what can I apply to make breathing easier for him?

2. My breastmilk doesn't hold my baby so he is on formula. His poop is always hard and he cries and struggles whenever he wants to poop. I feel his pain everytime he poops. Dr said I should give him water but he coughs and chokes on water whenever I give him. What can I do to make his poop soft?

3. What cream, soap and powder can I use for him?. He is 8weeks old and fair in complexion.

4. It's been 8weeks I had my baby via CS. I was cut horizontally cos my baby wasn't lying properly and since then I still look preggy. I'm depressed cos fellow women body shame me. I don't even want to go out anymore cos pple laugh at my belle. Please, what and what can I do or take to have a flatter belle. I need help cos I'm not happy at all. Please.

5. My incision has healed, should I stop applying spirit? The Incision is not flat, I was told to apply Shea butter on it. Can I rub Shea butter on the cut?

Powder disturbs them, it makes them cough and also affects their breathing(the dust from the powder)
I use jimpo ori for my son.

NL mamas. I have missed you guys, no lie . Dealing with two children under two and it feels like I am not the owner of my body and life cry cry cry. Starting work at 7weeks pp has not even made things easier. No sleep at night, no sleep at work. Hubby and my mum has been the best of support. We recently got a nanny who is a pro and now it feels like I can see road small. Actually had time to do mani and paint my toe nails yesterday and I could not believe my eyes. This motherhood job is work no pay o undecided undecided. Hope you all are doing well. My first relaxed Saturday in a very long while so I said I should pop back in.

1. My girl has this. A sprinkling of Silverbird on a bib around her neck helps. A.c. and fan on lowest settings. Steam inhalation too.

2. Hope you are measuring the formular according to how it should be? One levelled scoop to 30mls of water, no more no less. My mama was trying to make it more creamy for my baby and was putting 4 full,unlevelled scoops to 90mls water for my baby and she was constipated until she confessed by herself that she may have been making her feed too creamy. That was how constipation stopped. Also, try giving warm water first thing in the morning. He won't like it at first but continue.

3. Sebamead. IMO don't mind that Shea butter and coconut oil stuff. I did that for my first baby, original ori and oil from Ghana. Under two weeks pikin don black like charcoal. By the time I changed to Chicco, it was late. Complexion don set. This time, I was prepared and got all Sebamead baby range. They are small,and don't last as long unless you manage well but my baby is so fair and her complexion is so smooth and clear.

4. What I did: Aju mbaise as soon as I got home. Won't say it made my tummy flat but it did push out all the blood. Lemon in warm water every morning. Flat tummy does not come magically. What do you eat? I'm 8weeks pp tomorrow and what I eat mostly is sweet potatoes, lots of egg, cheese and sausage, lots of fish and chicken,oats swallow, beans, moi moi, bulgur wheat as rice substitute, quinoa, all in controlled portions.. My tea is Lipton or pure cocoa with skimmed milk. I drink 3 litres of water everyday. I have a bottle for that and I finish it and even more sometimes. I eat pastries and ice cream and sweets once in a while. I got a latex waist cincher from zaraxshapewear on IG. Started wearing after 3weeks. Waist was 41 when I started. I'm on the last hook now. Measured yesterday and waist was 35. Would get a smaller one. I wear everyday for 8hours minimum. At 8weeks you should be wearing a cincher/trainer but please check with your doctor.

5.if your incision has healed, you don't need to apply spirit any more. The site will still be raised but it will flatten over time. You can get Shea butter to massage the site and surround areas so as to stop keloids from forming and Also,release surrounding tissues

Wow! Thanks so so much for the detailed response mama. I'm grateful. Thank you. How do you go about the steam inhalation? My friend said silverbird is not good for babies, that it affects their lungs but I have at home.

Can I still take Aju mbaise cos my monthly flow is fully back?.
