Abeg! How do you cope with sleepless nights?
Then, is berging/burping really important ?
Hello mama. Please it's very important to burp your baby before putting them down.

I made the mistake of putting my son to sleep after feeding. Thank God my sister was around and she heard him making sounds in his sleep. The food had come back up and he was choking cry she quickly raised him and patted his back. He let out a big burp and calmed down.

Whenever I think back to that day, I slap myself mentally

Yes, go to Lasuth. Dont pick number at d entrance, tell them u are taking " private vaccine ". Walk straight to any of the matrons, explain to her, show her ur card and tell her d one u want to take, if available, u will b told d amount and where to pay. After paying, go back with d receipt and ur baby will IMMEDIATELY get d shot. I guess the vaccine should b 2 doses, so, prepare to come exactly a month after for 2nd dose ( ask d nurses sha). NOTE : private vaccine at Lasuth can b taken any day of d week, I prefer u going thursday cos the availability of the vaccine is 80% sure on that day ( thats d day babies 6months and above get their vaccine). If thursday aint convenient, u can go any day of d week. Take care.
Okay, thank you so much smiley

Chicken pox, MMR is not even one of the scheduled immunizations in Nigeria, its optional. This why many health centers dont have it, and if u insist on taking it in government facilities, u pay for it unlike the scheduled ones which are free. Your baby is due for d vaccine FROM one year to about 15months or more.So , if ur baby missed it at 12months, it can still b taken anytime before 18months,meaning ur baby is still......... Walk into Lasuth immunization center on any Thursday, ask d nurses if its available ( explain to them d one d baby already took cos u pay 4 Chicken pox, MMR together). Most times its available sha. Its a private immunization, so dont worry about being delayed. You pay and get d shot immediately ,u dont follow any protocol like others that came for d scheduled vaccine.
Thank you so much for this. I went to the closest centre to my house and they didn't have it. I'll just go to Lasuth then. I really appreciate

Honestly I don't have first hand info on the implications of not taking vaccines as when due but I know there are reasons why these vaccines are scheduled according to a child's age/growth milestones. Please take out time on your own and visit other health centers to ask questions as soon as you can. You might be lucky to get recommendation from the health workers and get the shot just intime
Cheers
Will do so, thank you

Hello Mamas. I took my baby to get his one-year vaccines (chickenpox, MMR and vitamin A) but the hospital I use didn't have the chickenpox vaccine. They said it's not been available for a while, and they promised to call when it is.

I'm worried about not getting his shot early, as there is no guarantee of when it will be available. Is there any implication in delaying the shot?

Also, I'll greatly appreciate it if anyone recommends a hospital on the mainland (Lagos) currently administering the vaccine.

Thank you, mamas.

original huggies still remains the best, but very expensive..over 24k for a full carton of about 150 pieces. stay away from nigerian or south african huggies, those sold for 4k for a pack.

kisskids is decent at 5k or so, asda little angels is about the best bang for buck about 6k for 8pieces
There is the Nigerian brand of huggies?? What's wrong with it though?

Good evening beautiful mamas in the house.
Hope its not too late to sign in for October.
We are having twin gestation both of XY gender.
Scan also showed presence of fibroid measuring 30mm by 35 mm from the last scan.

We are doing fine, my husband has been super supportive.

I experienced bleeding from the nose while brushing this morning, please has anyone experienced such.

Thanks
I also experienced nose bleeds during pregnancy, but in my first trimester. Bring it up with your doctor just to confirm it's nothing.

Good afternoon house.

Please I'd like to know the best type of breast pump to buy. (Manual or electric) and which brand?

Also, which baby carrier is the best to buy.

Thank you.
IMO, electric best pump is better. I use the medela brand and it is very effective

Good morning mamas, please my one month old baby always poo after every feed.. and his poo have change from yellow to green hope this is normal..help a first time mom thank you
Green poop could signify different things. What is the consistency like? Is he breastfed or formula fed? Is it frothy or has mucus in it? The colour could signify diarrhoea, or an infection. Please let him see a paediatrician

B.S continued

So when we got home, I insisted on walking to the market and preparing dinner. Later on at night, I started having mild pains. I was sweating seriously so I decided to take a shower. While in the bathroom I saw the famous bloody show and my heart leapt. I didn't want to go into labour in the middle of the night, and at the same time I was elated that the procedure worked. Thankfully, the pain was bearable so I went back to bed. All the while I was communicating with my sister, and she advised me to go to the hospital the next day.

Around 7am in the morning, hubs had gone to work, pain was gradually coming up so I chatted up the other gyne and he asked me to come to the hospital. Let's just say I strolled in, thinking I was going for check up. At some point, I got tired of waiting for him to complete his rounds so I went to buy water. When I got back in the nurses were like where have you been?? The doctor has been looking for you. They asked me to go into a room, that I was in labour. I thought the nurse was joking until they asked me to change into the hospital gown. Then I knew it was serious. I called my husband and my sister to start coming. Hubs had to go home first to get my hospital bag.

Matron came to check how far I was dilated around 11am. She said 3cm but the gyne will come confirm. I was already very sore from the membrane sweep so having them poke their fingers down there was fire. At some point when the gyne came to check again, I pretended I was asleep so he wouldn't disturb me grin, but he knew I was faking it. They passed a line, and inserted a pill down there. From that point I started to loose track of time. The pain kept increasing, but I tried to keep my cool. My sis got in before hubs, but they weren't allowed to stay in the room because there was another lady in labourin the room as well.

The gyne burst my waters and the contractions became more frequent, and much more painful. I hit everything in sight. The bedframe, the wall, everything!!! When my husband was allowed into the room, I asked him to rub my back, and when he bent down to do so I hit him really hard. I told the matron I felt like pooping, she said not to that if i do I would suffer tears in my cervix as it wasn't time yet.

I kept on shouting that I wanted to poop, so the gyne asked them to take me to the delivery room. Then they asked me to push anytime I felt like pooping. Mehn, I pooped o (I felt so embarrassed and kept apologising to the gyne). He didn't mind but told me to push harder as my efforts was weak. I was sweating seriously, i even begged the gnye that they should turn up the A.C. I couldn't push any longer and I started to panic. The matron held my hand and told me to try one more time, that the baby's head was already showing and that moment was very critical, that the baby would suffocate if I didn't push hard. I felt a prick, and heard the gnye pick up his tools, then I knew they were cutting me up. Na so I gather all the energy in the world and gave one long hard push and my baby boy was delivered. The relief I felt was out of this world!!!

They put him on my chest for a while, and took him to clean him up. I felt a prick again, before the gyne started sewing me up. Baby was born at 6.01pm on the 30th of April, birth weight 4.15kg vaginal delivery with episiotomy.

B.S submitted. Sorry it came late, i just started enjoying the 4th trimester.

B.S

Hubby and I got engaged Feb last year, but our wedding got delayed due to covid. I got pregnant in August.

First trimester came with different legs. From constantly spitting (this irritated me because I had to carry tissue around at work or have sweets in my mouth, I also had to keep a bottle half filled with water by my bed side at night to spit in). Then at some point it was nose bleeds. My doctor attributed this to high blood pressure which i rejected in my head. I was determined to carry my pregnancy to term withour any health issues.

Second trimester was blissful. Productivity increased at home and at work. At some point I forgot I was pregnant. Hubs and my colleagues had to constantly remind me not to do certain stuff, left to me I felt like super woman.

Fast forwad to December, two weeks to my traditional wedding I lost my dad. My world crashed before my eyes and I was afraid I would loose the baby because I was seriously affected by his death. God pulled me through that phase.

Third trimester was not so bad at first, until the pelvic pain started. The thing was painful!!! Turning in bed at night was war, at some point hubs had to help move my legs if wanted to leave bed. I continued working for fear of being left alone in the house. My colleagues at work would joke that I would give birth in the office�.

I was using two hospitals for antenatal, although I had made up on where to give birth. I was scheduled for a membrane sweep at the other hospital on the 29th of April at 39 weeks. That thing can pain!!!! The gyne kept stretching my inside, I almost twisted off the table�. My husband was there and he held my hand, he also had to use his body to serve as a guide so I don't fall off. After the procedure, the gyne told me cervix was not open, but it was soft so I should keep an open mind. He said the sweep was a 50 percent chance of bringing about labour, but if it failed I would be induced at 40 weeks. I had heard about how painful induction was, there was no how I was going to go through that pain

Good day mothers in the house, what can be used to help a 2 months old baby poo? she's not doing the pooing thing, instead she farts.
PS: We've tried the cotton wool and mentholated robb into her anus method and also ensures she takes water.
She's exclusively feeding on breast milk.
Lol, my baby is also ebf and doesn't poop often. It's normal for them to skip days without pooping.

Maybe she took someone's colour. You can never tell with these kids grin

Example is my sis in law's son. He is very fair but both parents are dark skinned. He took his maternal grandma's colour.

Hi mamas, please I noticed that my 7 weeks old baby skin is getting darker by the day. We’re currently using Sebamed, please help recommend any good baby skin care product that will make her fair again. Thanks
Same thing happened with my son. It could be that your daughter is meant to be naturally dark, so no worries there.

Although I switched to mobaby products (shea butter), and his colour is gradually returning.

I don't know how to start our BS.

The summary is, I did not stay at the hospital with my wife as I couldn't stand it.

Once again, I wanna say women are the strongest .. Y'all are stronger than us and I pray every mother reaps the fruit of their labour.

God bless everyone of you and I pray every pregnant woman delivers safely in Jesus name.
