hello my people, pls can you suggest what to use for my 16wks old baby for teething(he's been having itching in the enamel for sometime and is making him uncomfortable).
Note: i used teething powder for my first baby and our doctor kicked against it.
i need answers as soon as possible, thanks!

@ Fhemmmy, an AWESOME GOD indeed!

Haba! Man utd and Real madrid fans stop d Messi hating, it will NEVER stop the rest of d world from acknowledging the PHENOMENAL, MESSI.
He meanders through a group of defenders, yet makes wonderful passes resultin to goals, most times, scores goals himself after the herculean tasks. THIS ALONE WAS NOT SEEN IN GREAT FOOTBALLERS OF THE PAST AND IS STILL YET TO BE SEEN IN GREAT FOOTBALLERS OF THE PRESENT!
Leo Messi, u may not read all the write- up by ur many lovers in nairaland, bt ur humility in all ur greatness and at a very young age, has made an impact to people world over.

Happy birthday and more glorious years ahead!

Here's the last page, no other comments,

THE MERCILESS is simply DA BEST in the world of soccer in this 21st century(at the moment). But maybe in the next eighteen years, my son would take over as the world best

chaircover: my people o su mi ooooooo!

Celyt abeg lets even forget about the ipad, Ipaid etc just set up a monthly standing order into my account starting from now

no problems madam, all join, kini big deal?

@ Aparche, i fear die for the insults. The guy is truly shallow-minded.
@ CC, i don't mind encouraging my son to pay all that for your daughter's hand in marriage(Ipaid, blueberry,halleberry inclusive). Because i no say na like mother na like daughter.

Am
really loving this thread too.

In my own case,its just me,my hubby and our children. Combining the three -
Marriage, Career and Child and making a perfect job of them all can be
tasking. Some years back,i was doing all that perfectly(I am a real
killer for a spotless home, cooking is not one of my hobbies but i just
have to, i washed the clothes every two days so that they don't become a
heap,and then, taking care of my babies.

This time i have reduced especially in cleaning the home but doesn't
mean i leave it untidy(i used to clean the floor tiles,sweep and arrange
everywhere daily before i leave for work but have now reduced to twice
a week). I have also reduced my daily cooking (hubby really understands
but i try to make him something special once a week especially in the
weekends).Also clothes washing is now done only on friday nights(we re
seriously saving for a washing machine).
I am still managing my career well, giving my undiluted attention to
my husband and also taking good care of our baby(can't trade him and
hubby for anything).
Infact where i can say is lacking is giving a little space for myself,
to breathe-in fresh air once in a while
I am seriously working on that before the whole thing overwhelm and
drown me.

We women dey try o, be it nowadays or old timers

@ Balo, am beginning to fear for my BARCA players o.
Too many BARCA haters these days.
But as that P Square song goes, "whom God has blessed, no man curse".(or is it Timaya)
Abeg make them haters tearfully go to bed o-jare

Honestly speaking, if Wigan players had been playing like this from the start of the League they ought to be not less than the third place on the table.
Most part of the game yester night, United players lost their bearing especially Rooney. But I still hope United lift the trophy for the sake of my hubby
But wait a sec, what’s wrong with United fans’ beef with my BARCA?
Up Wigan

A man leaving his heavily pregnant wife at home and going for night-clubbing.
A wife/husband sexting people of opposite sex.
A man/woman living a fake life all in the name of gaining other people's acceptance.
A husband/wife not fulfilling his/her duty in the home when they are capable.

Very long list of irresponsible behaviors, but let me rest my case with ^^.

Madam CC,I doff my "Gele".

Honestly speaking,Seun should open a marriage counseling section with Madam CC being the only eligible respondent to the topics posted there.

In addition to what Richy,Knowledge04 and Ronke have said, i think you should find out what your husband really want you to do for him during lovemaking. Talk to him more during lovemaking, he may initially refuse to say anything,just continue to cajole him,pamper him,he may open up to you. He is the man you married,you don't have to be shy doing the "dirty talks" while making love, and be flexible in bed,also guide his hands to where you want him to touch you,the equation should be balanced nah
Please don't ever think of divorce over these issues,its not the solution at all.

If you have a sore throat, you wake early in the morning without talking to anyone, you go whisper three times to the joint of two walls.
Sometimes,it worked, the sore throat may completely disappear like ten minutes later!
If you are having constipation, you rub your saliva on your anus
if you notice a little boil starting to grow on you eyelid, you remove a strand or two of your eyelashes.
This one still works for me.

lilkech: in those years in lagos anytime we saw cattle eaglets flying in the sky we would raise our hands to them and wave our fingers furiously while singing something like "se-ke-le-ke, se-ke-le-ke sometin sometin" and just like magic by the time the birds fly by we would have white streaks in most of our finger nails.


This one works 100%


feel free to quote me

Seconded, it still works for me.
When pepper enters your eye, you lick salt and the pain will ease. Sometimes it worked.

@ Sagamite, my hubby hanging out more with his friends wasn't a very big issue,i said we had lots of 'heavy' issues that were more like 'irreconciliable differences', but thank God we handled them like matured adults. Thank God most especially for nairaland and its brilliant members, the forum is a real eye-opener.

@ chisunday, did u really mean what u said? Let me believe you didn't understand the poster before you replied, the poster asked, 'can you dump your child because your spouse-to-be does not want him/her?
And my answer is NO, i will never trade my child for anything!

^^Haba @ Ziccoit, you didn't have to call her all that. A lot of us are quite fortunate to be educated enough to know the consequences of making right and wrong choices in life while lots of peeps out there didn't have that priviledge and are ignorant.
That woman and a lot of people like her might think they are saving money by doing that and are ignorant of the consequences. A case of penny wise,pound foolish.

My dear girl,i don't know if my advice is coming late,i just hope it isn't.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I come from a family where marriage is highly regarded such that if a young girl is approaching the age of 25,everyone would start teasing her about getting married. So i grew up with that mentality as regards to marriage being the 'in' thing in a woman's life. Having said that.
When i was growing up as a teenager,i had issues of low-self esteem and when i got into the university,i was fortunate to have mingled with people who made me value myself-worth. So when i decided to date men,i never let anyone treat me anyhow until i met a man who almost rubbished my hard years of grooming myself as an independent young woman who valued herself. Just like you,i cleaned his house,washed his clothes both the hard ones, cooked his meals even sacrificed my virginity to this man (after having dated more prospetive guys way back in the university). But what did he do,he treated me like a shit three months after knowing him, always disapproving of what i wear(i like dressing decently), asking me to get him a huge loan from my sister which i almost did,told me that i should get pregnant before we get married which i found so difficult to understand,controlling my life like a remote control,even told me to my face that he was God-sent to me!
The scales finally fell off my eyes when i started seeing signs of physical abuse, i summoned courage and took a walk for good. There and then i told myself that i will always value my self-worth no matter what and will never let anyone walk all over me. This guy still came back begged,cried,even told people to beg on his behalf that he was a changed person, but i still maintained my stance. Today iam happier and 'happiest' that i made that decision.
So my dear,listen to voices of reason here. Count your teeth with your tongue while you still have one!

Those trying to derail the thread should please stop. I actually registered as a member because of this thread though i have been an ardent reader of the happenings in the forum for a very very long time now.
This March is precisely the second year of my marriage and it has been full of ups and downs (with more ups). One month into my marriage,i became pregnant and our joy knew no bounds. Then three months later,the problems started,my husband started hanging out more with his friends,at that time,i kept everything bottled inside me but let out my frustrations by giving him the silent treatment. He would try to know whats eating me up but i wouldn't tell him why. The thread continued but we always made up and i can't say how, but whenever we have a trivial issue,i would always bring up the previous ones and my frustration compounded. We had Lots of issues that at a point,i told him that i wanted us to get separated,that i could take care of myself and the baby. Well to cut the whole story short, through the years i learnt that communication is very vital in marriage, seconded by having a life of your own where you create those things that make YOU happy as a person but not at the expense of your spouse and children,not bringing in a third party when you have problems with your spouse and circling it with praying together as a couple. What my husband and i solely agreed on is that abuse of any sort and infidelity are a no no. Today i thank God for my marriage, we are still learning.

I will really like it, if marriage counselling becomes a compulsary GCE subject and university module. Many people dont even know the meaning of being married and what marriage really means.[/quote]

Honestly i had once told a colleague this on a day we were having a discussion on marriage issues. The course outline should also include "issues involving inlaws,friends and there not "so" significance in a couple's marital life".
I hope i won't be misunderstood.
