TopeMel:
Hi Sis..thanks for the response. I have stopped it but he has eczema-like rashes on his face for about a week now. I don’t know what to use to clear it as I am scared of all kids products now. Is cacatin okay?

If not for the rashes he already has I would have suggested Blue seal Vaseline to bring back his complexion. But be sure the reaction is just from the cream you used and not ela

But I'm so grateful to God it's not a life threatening condition. I'm hopeful it will open up soon.

It definitely will. Thank God it's not a serious issue.

tatacherie:
I greet you all mamas
Congratulations to the new moms in the house

Please I'm soliciting for advice on this sensitive case pls no insult please I have cried enough for been such a careless mother

Be strong mama. The good thing is that you still discovered it on time. Any correction they might suggest at the hospital has higher chances of working because of her age. You are not a careless mother. This can happen to the even the most observant mother.

Ayauche:
BS Continued....
We got there, I told the nurse on duty what happened and that I wanted to see the doctor, she checked everything as usual and sent me to the doctor's office. Doctor checked my tummy and said I should go to the delivery room, he wants to do membrane sweep. He did and it was kinda painful than have ever felt before, I don't know what he told the nurse but she said I should get my bag and I asked for what, she said because am delivering today.

Thank you my team members, God bless you all.

Congratulations mama. May your baby be all you prayed for.

AbbynHummy:
Same here. Withdrawal method failed us too. Hubby always mentioned that our first child will be up to 10 before we have another baby (baby 3) I was on family planning before (2months injection) but I stopped taking it for no reason at all, we were using withdrawal method for like 3 years before this one enter, it was exactly on my ovulation, though I took postinor 2 but God already had plans for my adorable baby on earth. Going for implanon FP at my 6 weeks appointment

My dear sister, such special babies, if you like put IUD, they will come out holding it in their hands . Like this my pregnancy, a family friend told my husband on 2 diff occasions that God said he was going to bless me with another baby very soon even though I wasn't ready for another. Me and hubby thanked her, but we were like, nooo, abeg no more babies for now abeg.

When I tested positive, you need to see how I rushed to my husband asking him to help me explain what I was holding (the positive pregnancy test strip). He was lost for words. On a lighter note, he said that perhaps God has played a fast one on us with all that prophecy about a baby coming soon.

But, I have learnt my lesson. Not gonna rely on withdrawal again biko before I born full house.

Faithfulfaythe:
Please I would like to know what age should potty training start and how is it done?my daughter is 18months old and I don't know if I'm to start or wait

18 months is a good time to start training her. Just start sitting her on it like it's a seat. If she accepts it, it makes the job easier for her to use it. If she doesn't like it, then let her go pant-less when at home. Keep the potty close by so that when she starts peeing, you can quickly grab the potty and fetch as much as you can. The point here is for her to start getting use to the idea that pee should go into the potty. And after it, praise her and give her Hi-five.

You can do this on weekends if you work during the week. It might take just a weekend, a month or even months for her to grab the idea. But patiently keep at it and you will see some progress.

If she has started school, then school will also help you. My son started school at 2 years after covid school closure. I started training him a few weeks before he started school. He wasn't getting the idea of peeing into it, but we succeeded in getting him to sit and poo in it. I would wear him only pants and observe when he wants to poo. They like hiding to poo, so whenever he starts running to enter the room or just get away from us, I knew he wanted to poo, and would quickly sit him on the potty and give him a phone to press.

The school stopped us from wearing them diaper earlier this year and started taking them to pee in groups of same gender. They asked me to follow up at home and after some days, the guy became a pro at it. He was about 2 years 3 months at the time.

So, yes, you can start now to see if your daughter will be interested. But don't force her so that she doesn't grow a fear for the potty. All the best!

bayobabe:
Withdrawal method has never sounded like something that can't fail easily to me though.....but it's all good jare....those little cuties are worth the fail.....congrats ma.

You are right. It's not reliable, but we have used it in the past and it worked. I know of people that use it too. Anyway, I have accepted my fate, and the cuties are worth it Sha.

Babygal2020:
So withdrawal method dey fail too?
I gat go do FP.
I'm currently in school of nursing.
Make belle no come now.

My sister, the thing fail me like person wey no read for exams. And my husband was over careful cos we both know how the two we already have without house help can be challenging. I could have bet that nothing like pregnancy will occur for the next one year. It is what it is. Please if there is a safe FP, go for it to avoid stories that touch.

4realwoman:
congratulations my 2020 teamie, wish you stress-free and happy bumping.

Oh my cappo! Good to hear from you. Thank you so much for your wishes. Ermm...are you back too ? See me nah, the thing do me like movie. Not funny on my part rara

Halcyon123:

Thanks sis.

Halcyon123:
Chai,and here i am thinking na only me sleep one the disgrace any how. Na so I go saloon today,after the washed my hair,found their couch and did a 10m8ns nap before makingmy hair.

My sister it's crazy mbok. I can sleep 10 times in the day and still feel like I haven't slept in ages. In fact, it's my little kids that use to shake me whenever I doze off. And I'm supposed to be looking after them cos they can become cat and dog when I'm not looking.

Can't wait for first trimester to go joor. The thing is not funny, especially when you don't have house help.

prettmum:
Good evening beautiful mum's
.... safe delivery to all Mamas

....TEAM FEBRUARY 2022 WHERE ARE YOU ALL
.... MORNING SICKNESS TOO MUCH OOOOO

Hello teamie. I have been hiding cos mehn, I didn't plan coming back to pregnancy tread so soon. As withdrawal method don fail me, I'm now on my third missionary journey with a one year old tagging along.

It is well o. Mine is sleep wants to embarrass me everywhere. I also get dizzy but it doesn't last. And my love for carbohydrates now no be here. I can eat rice straight for a week and still not get tired. Something I was curtailing before now.

I pray for a smooth journey for all of us in Jesus name, amen.

Hello Mama's
I stopped breastfeeding two weeks ago but I discovered I haven't seen my period which is suppose to come on 29th of last month,I also noticed I've been urinating often

Are these effect of weaning or could I be pregnant?

It's true that your body might be adjusting and will normalize after a while. But that frequent urination is very suspicious. My dear, please get a pregnancy strip and check at home. Take it from someone who experienced the same thing and it turned out positive . Pregnancy strip is between 100-200 naira. It will set your mind at peace.

amSteph:
Oh i can’t wait for such a time. I feel like i would never get tired of hearing him speak. I’ll submit the form this week. They’ll most likely subscribe him for speech therapy.

Thank u for the shoulder and strength you’ve given me. My hope is even stronger. He might just be taking his time. I after all waited for 13months for him to cut his first tooth.

I have about 7-10 kids songs and phonics. He definitely knows it so well that he makes sounds and babbles just before they do it.

I strongly wish he’d pick up before he his 3years in November. Thanks again sis.

You are welcome sis.

amSteph:
Wow. Thank you for this. Yes, his the first child, it pretty much followed suit with yours.

I have taken him for evaluation was given and autism check form. He’s talked clearly before, so tongue tie isn’t an issue. Am yet to return the form. He had more of language development issues. It’s all so worrying but am holding unto God and hope.

I think you are on the right path sis. Just try and fill the form and return it back to the hospital. I watched one video on YouTube one time and it was a mother whose 3 years old boy suddenly started talking coherently after being almost mute for the better part of his life.

The woman was encouraging mothers to stay hopeful since she was almost losing hope and thinking something was definitely wrong when the son just turned around and started talking.

Yes, children are expected to be talking right from age one, but sadly, it's not the same for some of us.

But please never lose hope in God. I believe he will make a turn for the better when you least expect. And once he starts, you will be begging him to take it easy.

Please download as much kids YouTube videos as you can. Download it to your YouTube app so that you don't fill up your phone space with videos. There are tons there. I downloaded some and play it through CAST on my TV screen and he loves them. You won't know that they are recording it in their brains until one day you hear him sing or talk along with what is being shown on screen.

You will surely smile in the end my sis. I know how you feel cos I have been there, but if God could do it for my son, He definitely will do it for yours. Sending lots of warm hug.

amSteph:
Hi mommaz.... I've been offline a long while. How una dey? Hope the LOs are doing great. Last i was here, some moms complained about speech regression or delay in LO. What's the update? As for mine. Teachers say he drops words in school(Just started him in Jan) but have not seen much progress at home.

Hi Mama! Sorry if this is coming late, but I just wanted to add my update since I was one of the moms that complained of my boy's speech delay.

One thing I have come to observe is that some boys take time to talk and do other things than girls, especially if they are the first child. I'm not generalising (because there are fast boys too).

Mine did exactly the same thing; he was talking and repeating words before 1 year and after some months, he just went cold turkey.

I was very worried. And was telling myself that I won't wait until he turned 2 before enrolling him in school, but Covid happened. And Rivers state reopened school very late ( late November 2020).

He started school that November and when they closed in December, my boy had nothing to show for the one month he was there. And worst still, they were just 3 in class ( I guess people were still scared of enrolling their kids).

But when they reopened in January, they increased to 8 kids. And honestly, there has been HUGE improvement ever since.

Although he still babbles most of the time, but he can count 1-30, and knows his alphabet sounds. He still hasn't picked up much words at home, but I believe he will get there.

My point is this, have you checked how many they are in class? I think this played a huge role in helping him cos when they were just 3, it was not so.

Did you or your husband have speech delay when growing up? My husband was a late talker according to my mum-in-law. So you might want to put that into consideration and be more patient with him.

I even had to take my son for a tongue tie check a second time when he was almost clocking 2 years (he did the first one when he was a baby). And they cut something again the second time. I was even scared that they have done more harm than good. I wouldn't dare try that thing again with any of my kids except when they are babies (and only if I can see that the tongue is really tied).

I don't want to sound religious but my sister I was so concerned about his speech delay that I took it up in prayer. And I believe God has a hand in this progress that he is making.

Please make it a prayer point and I believe God will make you smile at the end.

Mama Zaynie has given a lot of important tips that can help too.

In conclusion, please be PATIENT with him. I always encourage myself in the Lord and tell myself that every child develops at their own pace.

And if you finally get some funds, consider taking him to a general hospital for some assessment if things don't improvement.

Be strong sis, you've got this!

samsard:
I believe Payoneer has disabled the option to pay into someone else's dorm account. You only have the option to withdraw to your own Naira or USD account.

Thank you

I have over $200 Payoneer funds to sell. The problem is that I can't do transfer to other Payoneer users like I used to. But i have the option to withdraw to bank.

Is there anyway I can sell to someone here who maybe has a domiciliary account so that the person receives in dollars? Or are my limited to only sending in naira to the person?

If anyone knows about this please let me know. I intend selling at a very affordable rate. Thanks.

Sabicleaners:
Sorry about that!
She obviously has lactose intolerance.

What this means is that her body system might be allergic to diary products from animals. You can as well Google lactose intolerance in babies to get more insight about this.

And yes there are plant derivative milk fomular made up of soy milk, coconut milk etc
You might also want to speak with a pediatrician/dietician about the best milk replacement for her.

Thank you ma.

Mamas good morning. Please I need your help.

My baby girl turned 6 months on the 17th of December. I gave her Nan2 yesterday being 19th and she vomited after some hours. She continued vomiting at intervals that I had to place her on oral drip and also gave her zinc.
Diarrhea started shortly after the vomiting.

This is the 3rd time she is reacting to milk negatively. Last month at 5 months plus, I thought of giving her pap and milk since she seemed to always be hungry even after breastfeeding.

She was on exclusive breast milk feeding, but I bought SMA Gold 2 and added a little pap to it and gave her. She didn't take much, but after few hours, come and see vomiting. She really scared me. It was the doctor that prescribed the oral drip and zinc I gave her which helped with the vomiting and stooling.

The doctor asked that I wait until she is 6 months before introducing anything to her. I even blamed the vomiting on the new SMA which now comes in a different container.

I therefore bought NAN this time around because she was giving NAN1 for about 2-3 days when she was born after my CS until I was able to place her on exclusive breast milk. She never for once reacted to NAN when she was being fed with it.

Because she was always wanting me to breastfeed her, I got the same NAN1 and fed her at about 1 month plus so that she can be satisfied in case my breast milk wasn't enough for her anymore. She vomited, stooled and her temperature rose that we had to quickly rush her to the hospital. This was the first time she reacted to milk.

The second time was when she was about 5 months plus. Now, she is 6 months and still reacting the same way. I can tell it's not from the brand of milk as I thought. She is either lactose intolerant or allergic to milk. We will take her to the doctor one of these days.

But in the meantime, has any mama here experienced this? How can a child grow without milk? Will she ever outgrow this? I know my moniker says Whyworry but i'm really worried.

She is currently only on breastmilk as I don't know if cereals will give her the same reaction. What else can she eat please?

Please share your experience with me if you can. Thanks.

I'm glad mama...........

He will talk ooooh and u will answer questions tire. Lots of love and hugs from here

I just love you ma. God bless you

Goldenheart002:
Dear mama, it's a long read but I will encourage u to read.....

You won't know what a live saver you are. I have the same issue and have been worried sick. My son will be 2 years on 24th of this month and he is having delay in speech.
He comes when you call him, used to call his dad - daddy some months back, and later reduced it to dada and now daa. The things he used to say he kind of lost interest. And we had no kids living around to play with him- just me and his dad.

He loves watching Disney Junior (PJ masks). We got him children tab and he broke the screen. We just bought another tab (the big Wintouch with karaoke and 2 microphones) so that he won't break it easily. But he still loses interest with it and will come for our phones.

He is smart with gadgets and can repeat things (when he wants to) just that it sounds differently most times. And he has never said mummy or mum even with all my effort but prefers saying daaa. And him and his dad are so close (I thought boys are close to their mums Thankfully, I have a 4 months plus daughter now and hope that she won't take to the dad and ignore me she grows too (I have to start planning ahead on how to prevent this )

Cos of this, I wanted to enroll him in school this past third term but Covid-19 scattered plans. And sadly, Gov Wike is not allowing crech and primary school to resume yet.

I have been going outta of my mind but his dad always assures me he will talk. I have witnessed boys talking late while growing up, but when it's your own, you can't help but worry.

Thanks for these words. At least I have some hope now and will patiently wait to enroll him in school when Wike finally gives schools a go-ahead. Pls share with us if you have more tips.
