After washing the bottles,get a plastic bowl that has cover and can accommodate all,I use those transparent bucket like ones,fill it up ,pop one in,and put in the washed item. In fifteen minute time it should be ready.
And the solution can last up to 24 hours in case you want to sterilise more within the time frame.
The direction is also written on the body

Its called eela/nla. My baby usually has it. Dey say it happens 2 fat babies or when the baby wants to gain weight(don't know how true it is anywayz). I changed his cream to coconut oil. Then like mummy2be said, get vegas and mix with baby tribotan. It worked for my son. The red leaf too works if u are able to get it.

Today hopefully going to be an interesting day and I'd like us all to participate. We all have something to share. Today is Nigeria's Independence and the future of Nigeria is on this thread. And our children are in grave danger and only we can protect them and give them a brighter future. Topics discussed will include Money, Education, Finances, Morality and Volunteering. I wanted to move this to the Family Section but I think Mothers are the ones who will start the change, because a long time ago, a wise uncle told me children get their intelligence from their mothers. If you feel this would be better in Family Section, please let me know.

Onegai:
Dear Lord, we are grateful to You that You have kept us and our families all through the year. Thank you so much for this! We are grateful for all the little miracles and the big miracles that every day for the past 10 months. We come to You humbly, asking that You forgive us our sins. Make us holy and one with You. Bring us closer to You. Make us proud and good mothers, faithful to all Your commandments.

Father, we specially pray today for our TTC mothers and our Mothers who have Special Needs children. We pray that You give them the strength they need to keep going every day. We know that though their path may be rough, but they will come to a place of peace with You.

Thank you Lord, for listening to us today. Amen.

Since we are talking finances, let me jump in

I find the money market investment fund managed by the investment company ARM, Nigeria very good. https://www.arminvestmentcenter.com/media/17923/mmf-faq_42.pdf

Their interest rate is almost as good as that of treasury bills, however, the major advantage is its flexibility.

Unlike tbills where you have to save or wait till when it's CBN's auction date, you can invest any amount of money at anytime into the fund. So for example, a day you have free 20k, you can just transfer it immediately into the fund and it accrues interest. There is also an online account which allows you to see all your transactions, etc. Another advantage is that your funds are accessible at anytime. So if there's a need for your funds urgently, the process to get your money is very straightforward.

Comtem2011 is right about taking up an insurance policy. Not only life insurance policy but also critical illness cover. Personally, I have one with a guaranteed payout of around 100m which is a very decent amount of money (if converted using the current exchange rate). I do pay a small monthly premium but it's still worth the potential payout. Why Nigerians shy from insurance, I do not understand.

Property is another smart one - no matter how small the land or house is. Buy, do all the required legal work and make sure it's well documented with the lands registry. Even if you do not live in it, rent it out.

Finally, if you are going to have a stash of money in an investment fund, a decent house, an insurance policy as well as several other investments, it's important to have a WILL drafted by a lawyer documenting your wishes on how the funds should be utilised. I have seen many cases where this hasn't been done and all the investments were mismanaged.

This is something to definitely look into. Thanks.

Helovesme, that y i always look forward to your comments. I think i need to bookmark this page. Pls don't run away again

Rofemiguwa, I recall that the documents needed to open an account was: 2 passport photos of baby, birth certificate, copy of IDs of both parents, NEPA bill and like N1,000. The bank will offer you their Children's account, which is a basic Savings Account with interest rate of 1%. The ARM fund helovesme mentioned sounds good and they're covered by the FG (which is good for consumer protection) and it starts from N5,000 and Comtem2011 can help out with REAN (I even remember their advert jingle from tv in those days ). Cutiereborn, I'm mentioning you here because I'm sure Olivia will get cash gifts at her party tomorrow.

Other mums, please let's hear your voices, I think this is a good time to ask these important questions. Don't leave it to someone else, at least be informed. I'm learning quite a bit too, so don't feel shy to ask any questions.

Zemaye, how's your baby?
