Brachaa:


Yeah I add baking soda to bal the taste of sugar so it not tasting plain sugary and it helps extend the shelf life in the absence of alcohol or artificial preservatives.

Egg is a must to give it body.

Ohh, I add alcohol to mine, will try baking soda next time. Thanks

I always use egg like 5-6 to bake depending on how many kg of flour. But add water when the batter is too thick.

Brachaa:




Very easy.

Fast and simple too.

Do you add baking soda to normal cake?
Never tried it tho, only for chocolate, coconut and red velvet that I've added it.

I add warm water if the batter is thick and no eggs again.

ceeceeuwa:

Thanks. Will any other brand of oil do?

Yea ma
Butter is oil in solid state.

tabithababy:
.

Bracha, please can you explain her method again... I want to try the method but I don't understand the method. Thanks

I'm not really good with recipe or measurement.
Same method for chocolate cake.

Depending on how many kg of flour tho

For half kg (250 naira) of flour, I use 2 butters.
I melt the butter on a low heat, allowed it cool but not too cool. Added my sugar, eggs to it and used blender(optional) to beat it.(you can beat your eggs in a separate bowl). Poured it in a bowl(blended batter) added Hollandia milk to it.
Mixed the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, banana or milk flavour)
Poured the dry ingredients inside the wet and mix together. If its too thick, add egg or warm water..

Mine wasn't thick or heavy. Hubby even loved how soft it was.

ceeceeuwa:

Did you substitute the butter for granola oil instead?

Yea ma

ceeceeuwa:

Did you cream the melted butter and sugar with a cake mixer?

I blended it with the eggs too using blender

Baked yesterday with granola groundnut oil. Used chocolate cake method, the only diff was no cocoa powder and baking soda added.

Was soft and yummy

Was teaching them but since I put to birth, I've not really had the time so I called their teacher for home lesson.

19CannyMum:


Hahaha I don't take properly while pregnant so they always remain in abundance after I born. Especially when hospital is supplying every antenatal date. Like right now I have 2 full bottles, combined that's 350 tablets or so. But while breastfeeding I no dey forget and I take them very religiously. Pregnancy glow don finish by then and we need all the vitamin help for skin, hair and nails

Wait, if I take it my skin will glow.

Ngwanu, where did I keep that melecine

19CannyMum:


I don't chew but I swallow with only spit, no water.

I normally take my antenatal drugs till they finish. The drugs I've used so far usually have for use by pre pregnant, pregnant and breastfeeding moms written in the bottle. So I take while breastfeeding.

God when �

You even take while breastfeeding?
I advise people to take their drugs religiously while I do the opposite. Inside life, just no balance. �

Thank God for fruits and vegetables.

Eezohbae:


Lol...only folic acid o...some brands of folic acid tastes nice.
But when it comes to other drugs,I cannot o...

Kisses to Bobo

The folic acid I bought 150 looks like something that wasn't touched.

Hian, I be mama fear fear for drugs.

rvpbae:


Not strong per se but you have to apply well so it spreads. Else one side will be oily and the other won't. Smells nice though.

Have not noticed it tho.

rvpbae:
Please can someone recommend a good body cream for kids? I use chicco for both kids, saw jimpo ori in the market and decided to try cos the chicco wasn't doing much again. But I didnt know you will use muscle to apply the thing, lol.

My first son uses it cos he is strong enough to withstand the rubbing, can't use it for my 10month old. They are both dark skin, pls I would appreciate suggestions. Thanks

Mine is not strong o
I use it for my 1m baby.

Jeez, we're a month today
Big boy geng tins

Eezohbae:



Do you chew the folic acid? Or you swallow with water. Cos most times swallowing with water triggers vomiting. Or you could put the drug inside eba.

Wait fess
People dy chew drugs?
God when??
My antenatal drugs that I didn't take is still cooling in my drawer.
I'll soon fling it away abi make I do giveaway with am

FlowerGirl040:
A nurse once said is very risky to take cold drinks (frequent) it has effect on the baby, it makes ones blood to block and not flow well, also when not pregnant. Same as soft drinks like coca cola,fanta,Pepsi etc

How true mamas?

Blood block ke

Thought it was cold, cough and catarrh

Bisade44:


I think it’s my nipples too, it’s not pointed. It’s so depressing been crying all day from the pain

Just get a breast pump(manual or electric) prices ranges from 1,5k to 5k for manual and 10k up for electric. It'll help in opening the ducts.

Or you can use towel with lukewarm water to clean the nipples(mouth of the nipples) thoroughly.

The latter worked for me with my 2sons

Don't be depressed, you'll surely get it right

Bisade44:
My breasts are engorged and I’m not lactating yet, it’s so frustrating. Kindly give me suggestions

If your breast is engorged that means you're lactating but baby is having latching problem.

You can use breastpump to initiate it and open up the ducts.
Continue putting baby to latch too.

Congratulations mama

cutiereborn:

It really was nice and I couldn't help but talk about it

I told you so
Thanks

cutiereborn:
So I bought Bambara nut flour (Okpa) from cutielicious as advertised by FloraEc.
It was well processed, very smooth and easy to mix with hands. My mum was even saying I need to mix it inside a mortar, but just following the instructions for it's prep, with my hands it came out great.
Only people who truly value Okpa will know why I am writing this epistle. I literally force anyone travelling to Enugu to get Okpa for me as what we have here is orisirisi mixed as okpa.
So the joy of making it on my own
Picture 1. Mixing time
Picture 2. Tasting time

I don't mix inside a mortar too, just my hands.

Thanks for the review and trusting me . I'm grateful

To think i that was pampard in my first pregnancy is left to do omugwo alone this time, so unfair ooooo,i have to figure out how to bath a newborn 3days after CS,take care of the umbilical cord and still make sure elder bro doesnt jump on baby out of excitement. I hardly close my eyes.

Pls what can i do to make this umbilical cord fall faster i need to circumcize him?

Kikiki. Is well ni. Sometimes we just want to relass and been taken kiaof
I always drop warm water on it during bath time and clean 5/6 times a day with methylated spirit till it fell.

We're yet to circumcise, definitely doing it this week.

Mzora:
Mamas pls help
My darling son was circumcised today.how do I care for it to enable quick healing?I was told to run warm water on it and apply pennicilin skin ointment .hope this should help?
Note:the ring method was used

It depends on the type of circumcision done.
My first son I ran warm water on it and applied penicillin ointment until the cotton wool fell and it completely healed. He did gomco method.

My boy will do his own tomorrow, I've not been strong to take him to the hospital.
