Good morning mummies.Please was anyone treated with pyrimenthamine for malaria?
My doc gave it to me today as part of my anti malaria medications, i don't know why i am skeptical on taking it.I even tried to Google it to know how safe it is in pregnancy but i am not satisfied with the answers i got.

That's fansidar ( sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine) na. I think its given to every pregnant woman as part of malaria prevention

Pls what drugs can I use for catarrh and headache n body ache the cartarrh is the culprit. Pls tnx. Is procold safe

Good morning, pls have been having false contractions for 4days now. Was placed on drug still yet the pain is still there. Currently now there is nothing I put in my mouth that I don't end up throwing up, can hardly walk, finding it difficult to breathe cos of pressure on my diaphragm. Really don't know what to do. Everyone is saying it's normal I should endure since my EDD is close

1. For me, I use a wooden wardrobe. When I gave birth to my first child, I bought a plastic one but later changed and built a wooden wardrobe. I prefer the wooden wardrobe.
2. I use hanger for my baby clothes o. It lasts. Infact, I don't dry my baby's clothes outside.
3. I used more of Ori and coconut oil for my baby. Will maintain same for this baby. I hope to get original.
4. To me I feel breast pump is necessary. You never can tell. When I gave birth back in 2018, I could not lactate. Tried all I could. Hubby had to go buy a breast pump to help. In the interim, I started giving baby formula cos i couldn't afford to see her hungry. For some, they are lucky enough that breast milk comes without much stress. However, I will still advise you buy so that you can pump when you go to work. Some people even pump at work and refrigerate cos your breast begins to hurt if it's heavy and baby hasn't sucked for a while.

Hope I was able to help a bit.

OK.. Thanks. It really helped.

Momma.

Please can I use Panadol?

Mama your baby will be fine.Start taking the routine drugs and discontinue other drugs for now

Krystalluv:
Good evening mamas, hope everyone is doing fine?
Pls I have few questions to ask about buying baby items.
1. Pls which type of baby wardrobe is better? Wooden or plastic? I have the wooden one in mind but majority of people I see around me here use plastic. At first I thought it was the price, but when I went for window shopping, I noticed d wooden one isn't as expensive. Pls which is more durable? Why do people prefer the plastic to the already-made wooden?

2. I need suggestion on baby hanger, why don't I see people buy baby hangers anymore? Is it that it doesn't last long or they just prefer to use the normal cloth line or they use washing machine to dry their baby clothes? Abi na my area people no like baby hanger?

3. Baby body care. Natural (ori, coconut oil, black soap, etc) abi oyinbo body care? Pls which is better?

4. Breast pump; is it so necessary? I'm planning EBF as those nurses are encouraging us to try it and mummy is saying she did it for me, I should do it too. Though still planning how to do that with work since I can't take baby to work.
Thanks in anticipation.
And pls any other tip or suggestion about baby things you think will benefit ftm like us. Like things not so important that we might end up not using or anything, pls tell us.

Safe delivery to us all.

1. It depends on what you want. Personally, I used the plastic wardrobe because I wanted something temporary since I have a wardrobe already. I just dismantle and pack up the plastic wardrobe till I need it again. As per durability it depends on usage and there are really nice beautiful baby wardrobes now made with board.

2. I use normal cloth line and if you have a washing machine that spins I don't think a baby hanger is important cos max your baby cloth stays on the line is about 10-15mins

3. I think all of the above is good, you can use any depending on your preference and your babys' skin reaction to it.
Also, I've come to realise that for baby's skin care less is more. Once you find what works for you, my sister stick to it.

4. Please buy a breast pump, as a matter of fact sef I think it should be made compulsory for expectant Mum to ensure that they breastfeed their baby well because it makes EBF easy.
Expressed milk can be stored, so while you're at work your baby will still drink breast milk.

Splasshhh, use paracetamol not panadol please.

OK. Thanks ma'am. All points noted.

As regards skincare, I use the following for my baby:
1. Bathing - black soap (When I had my daughter 6yrz ago, I used one of this big brand baby skincare set and I don't like the effect on my baby)
2. Body cream - Jimpoori
3. Hair oil - Pears baby oil
4. Barrier cream for his buttocks - Jimpo ori, and till date there's no rash or any 'medemede' on his bum. Blue seal can also be used for this.

I've not experienced any skin troubles since 5/5 when he was born, skin so fresh and supple and several compliments as well.

I think with my little survey, many people prefer the ori, black soap, coconut oil thing. Maybe I should try that, lemme go the natural way, after all, it's less expensive and very effective. I thought people use one 'moju' powder for bum? And that black eye liner (tiro) people use for their babies, what's the usefulness pls? Did you use or are you using it too? Bcs I don't like that thing, I want to know if it's necessary or not.
Thanks so much for your response.

Please discard the tiro.
Moju or any other powder is not meant for the bum. Blue seal Vaseline or Ori serves as a barrier between the baby skin and diaper, so when the diaper is soaked or soiled it doesn't stick to the baby's skin thereby preventing skin rashes and the likes leaving your baby with a fresh bum.
Also, apply it generously for each diaper change.

During the course of pregnancy I learnt and unlearn a lot of things which I'm applying now and I can see the difference.
1. Drugs - Almost every nursing mother has 'Ajogba', it is a bowl where baby meds such as antibiotics, multivitamin, pain reliever and others are kept. It's administered everyday not because the baby is ill but more like a preventive. I did this when I had my first baby.
Now I know better, if a baby is not ill no need pumping him/her with medication, it's called drug abuse. This is what I'm practicing now and so far we're good.
2. Cord - Some people apply all sorts on the cord so that it can fall off easily, as such infecting the area. When all that is actually needed is to clean the cord/navel with methylated spirit alone several times a day to prevent infection, the more you do that the cord dries off and fall. LOBATAN
I did this for my new baby and in no time cord falls off and the navel is closed.
3. Skincare - I've learnt that for a baby's skin less is more. Not necessarily about the brand name but how effective is it on your baby.
Coconut oil/Shea butter/Palm kernel oil does wonder on baby skin. Please find the one that suit your baby.
4. Powders - Now I know it's not compulsory to apply powder on babys' except when they have rashes.
5. For their bum - Blue seal, Ori, Coconut oil are good barrier cream/oil for baby. It prevents diaper rash as well.

Wow.. Wow.. I've really learnt a lot. I use to think those drugs (ajogba) were given or prescribed by doctors oo. Though, I read something about giving babies drugs on Fb, I read it isn't ideal or necessary but I've not confirmed that, but now I know better.
Concerning the cord thing, I see mothers using hot stone with towel on the baby's cord/navel, even my mum did that, at least I was a bit grown when she gave birth to our last born, there was that particular stone she put on stove then to 'massage' the navel with one menthol like that.
For the tiro and powder, I never liked the idea. I don't like seeing a baby with black eyes and full white/pink face in the name of 'moju'. Now I know better. I really appreciate the time you took to explain all these, I am more oriented now.
I hope MIL won't think I'm just naive when I try not to accept all these their traditional methods.
Thanks a lot mama. Your kind gesture is deeply appreciated.

OK
I'm using blessed assurance hospital beside coal camp. It is a very good private hospital.
There is also St. Patrick at owerri Road near stadium, I have used it before and the doctors are good too.

Then there is Aickon and posh at New haven, parklane besides Shoprite , Balm of Gilead in maryland. This are the ones people usually recommend.

Niger foundation is good if you love too much
Protocols. Mother of Christ at Holy Ghost is good too, they have good facilities but how they running it is so old fashioned for me like their mode of payment, they don't accept pos or transfer only cash. I don't know whether they have upgraded.

This are the popular good ones.
