Wendy80: Can som1 pls recommend good baby products or shd I go 4 Pears Baby range of products?

Am entering 36 th week and have not even bought all that. God help me!

Well, I hope I have the strength to do it this week. That's the only thing left for me to prepare.

Can someone pls recommend a good product thanks!

^^^ and to think I felt guilty for not buying my own stuff till about 34th week . The only pears product I bought is the oil (Johnsons is too watery). I bought Agnesia powder, vaseline baby jelly, nycil wipes, savlon antiseptic, johnon's baby soap, silverbird eucalyptus oil (to mix with the baby oil), mentholata balm and local pampers for the first few weeks. We wanted to buy huggies or better quality diapers but we learnt from our son who pooped about five times a day or more for the first few weeks.

@Dominique,,, u no kill person with laff sef,,,,which one be local pampers??,,,,that got me oh. seriously though, if the baby poops that much during the first few weeks/days,,,,then we gats to be pound wise oh,,,at least for two or three weeeks,,,,use sweet baby clothes take cover am.

I use pears baby oil for my son and he's so shining
I used johnson for him for the first 3days, he had rashes all over but pears did the magic and cleared it *my son came out ebony*
I heard it makes them turn black

@ Pinky, you've not tried the locally made pampers against pampers active baby (the obodo oyinbo one) the difference no be laffing mata . Imo Nigerian pampers is one step up the ladder from cloth nappy . If we had known we would have used it fo our son in his first few weeks. Instead We were using huggies on a baby pooping almost on an hourly basis . The thing still dey pepper me for body when i think about all the wasted quality diapers. Its all good sha

Mum,

I am in my 37th weeks and gladly expecting my bundle of joy. i noticed when i was in my 35 weeks that i had serious itching in my feet, foot, hand and thigh. it got worse when i was in my 36th weeks and no my leg and hand is covered with rashes. it itches me like nothing else. i do apply Ytcan and Nixoderm to it every night and morning and also apply dusting powder occasionally at night but this itching wont just stop.. am seriously frustrated and need you mums that have gone tru this to tell my a remedy to dis itchy. Ha my feet, foot, thigh and hand is now a ghost of its formal self. i would really appreciate.

thank you

I used the Pears stuff on my son once we had travelled to the village and i did not have his Aveno or Johnsons cream and powder. When i applied the Pears cream my son cried then his skin broke out in a rash all over. I used it on myself and also irritated my skin so i would recommend Johnsons products.

Original Johnsons products you mean. There are loads of their fake products here in Nigeria, its safer not to even dabble into buying such. I've not had much experience with pears product except the oil and its far better than than the liquidy one sold here.

Yes. Dominique i ment to repost this and stress the importance of buying original Johnson product. Ill tell you a story i went to the oyibo store and thorught i was buying Johnson original when i got home i noticed it smelt different and also felt different when i turned it around it said made in South Africa, needless to say I was not happy. The Johnson USA which is the original Johnson was in short supply. Anyways i gave the creams to my husbands sister. I then went to a pharmacy and bought original Aveno.WHen i return i will certainly be packing a few months supply of the cream,powder and body wash for my little rugrats.
Your almost due Madame moderator i hope you got your bags packed and someone coming over to help you out with the two year old once you deliver.

Yes o Agi, my friend that bought johnsons product for her baby totally regretted it. Powder was coarse, lotion was pasty, oil was watery. She had to do away with them and replace them with other products I recommended. Even their wipes my husband bought dried fast. I don't know if they're delibrately sending inferior products to Nigeria or there are lots of fakes in the markets.
Yup , I'm all packed up and literally counting the days . Started having mild contractions so I know the d-day is drawing nearer. MIL will be staying with us for a while, after that I'm on my own .

Good luck ooo, i hope you deliver naturally and not by section, is baby head down and engaged yet? Sections take forever to recover from, im not looking forward to it because of teh pain involved. Last time it took me over 1 month to be able to stand and walk up straight i was always walking leaned over once the drugs started to wear off.

Got a product because I didn't see Johnson and pears here. Mustela product.

Oil, cream, soap, etc.

Hi ladies
Nice thread, though I wish I'd known about it earlier as I gave birth to my lil princess almost 2wks ago (dominique ). I thank God I was able to defy all odds and have a natural delivery, havin had my boy through a c-section 20 months ago, even d docs told M̶̲̅ε̲̣ to prepare for d possility of a cs, cos my sutures weren't completely healed. Thank God, after months of prayer and alomst 24hrs of dramatic uninduced labour and a lil bit of episotomy, we welcomed our preety little bundle of joy:-D .

Its been a privilege readin all ur stories,wish all safe delivery and pray God make us good mamas to these precious little ones.

^^^Yeah yeah yeah, no be me send you not to explore the site . Now you can proceed to the baby thread (don't say I didn't tell you o!) and leave us expectants to sort ourselves out.

@Agiboma
There's nothing I'm dreading more than a cs right now. Just can't imagine going through another month of excruciating pain . So far so good sha. The baby's cephalic (unlike my son that was breech), not too big and the placenta is not in the way phew! I'm a bit afraid of the vjay tear but I heard it heals faster than cs, so I don't really mind. All I have to do now is put everything in God's hands and hope for the best (hopefully not cs)

Ill be keeping you in my thought and sending positive energy g-d will see you through. As for me I have no choice in the matter as teh type of csection i had with my son does not allow me to deliver naturally ever. Im just preparing for it im staying with my sister and will stay for an additional 2 weeks after i deliver, just for the help then im on my own with hubby my two year old and a newborn. Be sure to come back and post the birth story oooo, we love those on this thread.

My wife is having 4weeks pregnancy but has been having abdominal pain for the past two weeks.many at times,the abdominal pain wake her up through out th night.pls can someone tell what might be wrong with her and the solution?am afraid......,

@tjski i hope you feel better soon, i know some typhid meds are not safe to use during pregnancy
@fretok your wife pregnancy is still very young and cramping is normal in early pregnancy just as long as its not associated with any bleeding. All my pregnancies i had so much creamping from 4-8 weeks then it stopped, tell your wife it will pass in time, but if she starts to bleed then go see a doctor. Good luck and congratulations on your wife's pregnancy.

@agiboma,tanx a million for d relief u give me.i hope she get relief soon so dat i ll also be relief.she is always on my neck ooo.thanks
