Dats why i quickly went for fp. I suffer ehhh, uterine prolapse et al. But first, tell DH, he needs to be carried along. May de wisdom and grace of God be with u. Hugs

chicky-girl:

@Swtme, where are u hiding? Hope u re good? Good morning everybody. Lets remember that balancing our work and family life is de key to success. Motherhood is not easy, but always remember that many women has exceled as mothers, so also we shall excel. God gave us de ability to multi-task. So lets take good care of our lovely LOs and DHs. May de Grace of God rest in our homes. And protect from de unseen dangers of des ember months. Always remember that an idle mind is de devils workshop. So find a way to keep busy.

My twins now walk, but na wahala, for dey are everywhere, scattering things ehnn. Dis boys no go kill me. But de good side is pursing dem up and down is a good exercise for me. Who knows if i can shed some pounds. Lol. @Julicoka, dis one all of una dey show for my country side. Una go pay tax ooo. Infact, make i go block una for niger bridge. Welcome dearies.

@love angel, welcome to ma town. U can email me ifeyinwaibenegbu@gmail.com. @imurboss, pls de fear of naija process is de begining of wisdom. Just feed ur baby right as Jade said. Bow leg strenghtens with time, except some severe cases. Abeg, shun de surgery issue, london is easy to say, but difficult to go. He will be in my prayers, for der is no impossibity with God. Mothers, for cough, der is dis tinture i use. I mix honey with garlic and give my babies. Its effective.

Hummingbird:

But mostly when I complain., pple will be like madam na twin u born so relax joor. Time they say takes care of every thing. Ma. Luv to ur cuties.

pls mums, dont chew food for ur babies, its not higenic. Germs can easily be trsfed eg if u have flu, cough, carta etc. Rather mash der foods. Prevention is better than cure. @corral, what hve u tried feeding her. Give her pap, de dawa version, cereals, egg yolk, mashed irish aand sweet pototes, boil yam with palmoil,fish, cooked beans note to wash de back off de beans like u wash ur beans for moi moi. Infact, if u re eating anything and she shows interest, feed her some. Just keep trying

@hummingbird, let exchange bodies naa. Me dey try to shed some kilos and u re getting it free of charge. Nawah, try and eat very well and get some rest. If it means travelling to get help, pls do. U can also employ a capable hand to ease off de stress. Who says motherhood is easy? Anyways, alway look unto God for help. Der is something i usually do. Make una no crucify me ooo, nursing twins no be beans. Some days, when am so stressed, u know what, i feed them wella, come give them appetite enhancing syrup. It will make them sleep for long. Abeg bodi no be firewood.

spill it on.

Happi sunday to ya!! Pls, is it ok to give fresh soy milk(not de powdered type) to my toddlers. I mean de homemade version. And also, can someone that knows how to prepare it drop a line.

@ Jade, tanx 4 de foodie ideas, will try my best, haba, dis ur sis dey tryoo. Ma twins are on seven seas cod liver oil. Dey can stand and even take few wobbly steps but fear no let dem waka far. Let me wait till dey are ready. As per de fp thing am on iud and its been 7months without wahala. I no fit shout, my girl was 5+ when i took in. After giving birth to ma twins birth weight was 3.1kg each, i had a minor prolase. So my dear i have to let this body rest well before i take in again IJN. Amen. Bonny is a cool place. Atleast u will be in an Island. My love to ur hommies.

Infact eehh dis thread is very educative. Talk of indeginous advice no be oyibo pickin solution. Dis thread na correct made in naija. Kudos to all de mommies in da house.

chrystee: Hi Moms, please i hv a concern. one of my 3 months old twins vomits frequently though the quantity isnt much,it not little either. initially it started with spit-ups coming out of her nose and mouth while she's lying down and she acts like she's choking and starts to cry. we were advised to give her smaller but frequent feeds and burp her inbetween her feeding and that helped a lot but despite d burping or belching she vomits after any slight movement even up to one hour after eating. she breastfeeds and takes formula so i decided to exclusively breastfeed as advised by a pedeatrician as she might be having lactose intolerance but i couldnt cope so i introduced isomil which is lactose free. it is now reduced but its still there and It makes me have to carry her for a long time after eating even when she's asleep just to make sure she doesn't spit up.pls has anyone tried similac for spit-ups, i hear dt it reduces vomitting by 58percent. If I may add, d vomitting isn't affecting her weight gain. She weighs 4.7kg while her twin weighs 5.2kg.thanks for d link on baby poo variations. I needed that info for my other twin.

My dear i experienced dat too, really scarely. What helped was letting dem sleep on their side and elevating der bed; just put something under der mattrass to make it a bit slopey, iused thick cartons

$wtme:


Original honey is very gud for kid's brains n it is also gud 4 cough.....

Ok oo, i give honey, infact i live in onitsha, but i source my honey from nsukka just to guarrantee its originality. But u know our country and fake stuff. Let me cross my hand and believe its de correct stuff am giving them. Ahh, so soon dey will speak i wanna i wanna. lol

$wtme:


Ify dear u av 2 let us know what he's eating first cos if he is eating a lot of fibre like eba,bread n thick Golden morn or cerelac n so on without lots of water n fruits his stool will definitely be hard.As for d cough,my daughter had continuous cough although not serious,we gave her diff.cough medicine n antibiotics it didn't work then we were in zamfara,we had to travel down to Kaduna 2 see another Dr and he said we shouldn't give her drugs anymore that she was reacting 2 d air she was breathing cos it was cold then and d drugs actually made it worse and when we stopped d drugs d cough actually stopped,so just let it be it wud stop n make sure he is not around smoke,perfume,dust n 2 much powder in d air....

Welcome to naija. De headqter of fake product. My sis i fear for our lives.

Welcome to de world of de 'terrible 2' my daughter who is 27 months islike dat too, but i learnt dat if we keep showing dem love, dey will outgrow dis stage. Just keep being strong.

osaass: Do you really want to move to a country like china with children that young?

Is anything wrong in doing that. Pls share ur view.

My dear Itsmelex, by 'modern day slavery' i mean working 4 peanut. Tanx 4 ur ideas. I've not tried any buisness before, de reason am being sckepical. I think i'll do as u suggested by taking up de teaching job while i nurse my buisness. And also have my children in de sch daycare. Tanx, u are de best. U beta start thinking of becoming a consultant.

hi all, kudos to u all. My love to ur Lo and Dh. I need ur advice. I was a banker till i gave birth last yr to my twin boys, motherhood forced to resign...mmhh i no easy. Fast forward to now, am searching for job, but since am based in onitsha my chances are limited. De only available job is teaching and de pay is too poor b/w 17-20k. So should i take up dis modern day slavery for de sake of having time for my kids or should i start a buisness of my own? Mind u, i need child friendly answers. My first daughter is only 2yrs 4mths. Cioa

hi all, pls i need advice and guidance. I want to move over to china with my kids who are under de age of 3. So house i need input on how to go about it this. Thanks.

demmykay: Hello mums, I want to introduce soy beans( powder) to M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ baby. He will be 6mths by d end of dis month. I have started him with pap nd he is responding well but I feel like addin soy beans to d pap. Someone suggest dat I par boil d soy beans then dry out in d sun for 2days after which I roast before grinding. Pls has anyone used dis method b4 nd how was d result? Am just hearing abt d par boiling aspect, I used to know abt roasting nd grinding.

parboiling it is de best method. Its a very crucial step that pple neglect in soy powder preparation. Even during dry season, u parboil and wash de back like u wash ur beans for moimoi.

Hi mummies in da house, i need ur advice on this. My twins are 1 today xoxo. I want to stop nursing, though one of them weaned himself some weeks back. Pple are telling me different stories of how it draws back their development, that i should wait till they can walk. Though they they cruise around holding on to stuff. Is this a fact or myth. Also i learnt weaning is painful. How do i make it pain and stress free.
