Hello to all my sexy mamas, it's been a while. I see people writing teamjune making me remember last year when I was also team June, how time flies. I have never gotten the chance to participate in the picture sharing, so I would like to share my LO picture but will take it off around 11pm. He is 7 months and 2 weeks now. 23 Likes |

Hello, Please I am a JJC in all these things so pardon me for the questions I want to ask. Firstly I will like to relocate to the USA, in short that is my end aim, but to start with I want to apply for Masters and get an F1 visa. However, I am married with a child and I read that an F2 visa holder can not work or study, but my child can go to school. I will like to know how easy it is to get a job after my Masters so that I can adjust my status, and also how feasible is it that my husband can an employer who will be willing to adjust his status. Or do we need to both apply for an F1 visa each, or should I apply for the J1 visa and reapply for a work permit after my two years residency expires. So many questions. The thing I see a lot of people go for masters and invite their spouses, what do they do? |

helovesme: Madam abeg, take it easy o. this is the second time I will see you do this on this thread and its not healthy at all. You are not the custodian of all knowledge Firstly, it was the issue of cough and cold syrup. Pediatricians says that it's not appropriate for children under 6years, you are saying it is. And I believe you are not a doctor, I agree that these drugs are sold over the counter but pediatricians are warning we mothers to stop using them and you were taking the issue personal like you know more than they do. About the formula ,I have it on my brand of formula not to reduce the scoop or increase it as it can cause illness, I use to use isomil, I am sure it's written on nan too. Not everyone uses Aptamil and not everyone can use aptamil. You may tag other formulas cheap but we are using them for our little ones proudly. So madam, be considerate when you are making comments and read widely too. Thanks. 27 Likes |

OloriAbdulatif: Right now, expressing isn't an option, cos I go to work, I leave home 5.30 every morning and get back home around 7pm, most times I am overly exhausted. I usually go to his creche to breastfed him twice daily but nowadays whenever I go, he is not even in the mood for breastmilk. I will ask about the cod liver oil....I didn't know I can add palm oil, I was thinking of adding olive oil. |

helovesme: He is not lactose intolerant, he has MILK ALLERGY, as in any type of milk. We thought he was lactose intolerant, so I changed to ISOMIL in September last year and his symptoms still persist till date, so I have to remove milk from his diet completely. |

Hello people, how are our LOs doing. My baby has been diagnosed of milk allergy, so I am to remove milk totally from his diet. He is 7 months, I can still breast feed though, but I am working and its quite difficult. Please what diet can I incorporated to give him calcium, iron and vit A. He takes, pap, semo, amala and cereal (gerber) but I can't give him cereal any more because I can't add milk. Or do I give him gerber cereal alone without water, I am thinking of adding fruit puree to his cereal. I seem lost, help pls. cc:kaffybill |

OloriAbdulatif: It is way too soon for a walker, let your baby reach the milestone for sitting and rolling now till six months. My baby is 6 months and I am still delaying getting him a walker. The rocker I got is for babies between 3kg - 11kg, so it might not be too late to get one. |

Kimoni: Actually, Nestle didn't remove the warning. Please get a Golden mourn pack and read through it very well, It is now written there that Golden mourn is an acceptable everyday cereal for 9-13 years old only.. I was shocked when I saw it. I will try to snap it today when I get home as proof but you can check if you have a golden mourn pack. So if anything happens to your baby, they are all cleared. cc: favoredgal 3 Likes |

shawylux: We were also told in the hospital that DO NOT give PCM before immunization because it reacts with the vaccine, and that PCM should only be given 8 hours after if the child is running a fever. I think this is the new standard now. |

tyconcepts: Placing ice on the swollen spot help my baby a lot. I did not massage it with it though, cos the nurses told me not to in order to avoid further swelling. I just place it on it and remove it after a few seconds. He will cry whenever I place the ice at first but I kept applying it and within 24 hours it went down. |

stadora: Is your baby formula fed. If yes, try switching to Isomil - a lactose free formula. He may be lactose overload, pls google to read more on it. It helped my baby a lot. |

happymama:I got this from 'ask the pediatricians' page. [b]Kafura (white tar) is an aromatic hydrocarbon similar to Camphor. And like camphor, it is chemically manufactured from turpentine oil. It has a pungent irritant smell like camphor and other oils like Eucalyptus, and is used in products such as RubRub/Robb imitations. Like the other similar products, it is designed for external use only!!! But by the time you decide to start ingesting it, it is at your own risk and you have nobody to blame. It is also important to understand its volatility, hence ingesting in can lead to chemical injuries to you gut and to your lungs. Kafura?? You mean those pungent round things ![]() Please don't!!! 7 months, 7years, 70years, it's not of any value. Its dangerous!! You can as well give him soap or insect spray!! They are in the same category! Please don't!! Aromatic hydrocarbon, including camphor, kafura, and even other mineral oils definitely have their health benefits. These may include: Their properties as a stimulant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, decongestant, anesthetic, sedative and nervous pacifier, antineuralgic, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, and insecticide substance. But REMEMBER: These substances are TOXIC and can be FATALLY POISONOUS if ingested in excess. Ingestion of a slight overdoses can be LETHAL. It’s always safe to remember that a substance which is toxic for insects can be toxic for human beings as well. JEDIJEDI IS NOT A DIAGNOSIS!!! It is a local diagnosis that some people have coined as an umbrella term for several types of GIT gastrointestinal problems. If your child has any git problem, please see your doctor for the correct diagnosis and proper treatment.[/b] I hope this helps 5 Likes 1 Share |

A lot of people have been saying their baby cries a lot, as a FTM my baby also cries a lot, he can cry for Africa but I always knew something was wrong, I was told it's colic and he will outgrow it, at a time I thought he wasn't getting enough milk so I got NAN 1 for him, so I was sure he's getting enough milk but he still cries, I went to see about 3 doctors cos my instinct kept telling me he's not fine, twas the third doctor who suggested I change his formula to a lactose free formula that my baby might be lactose intolerant, so I changed his formula to Ismail and that was it, his crying stopped. So my advice is start by introducing formula if you think your baby is not getting enough, if that doesn't solve the problem try to ascertain that it's colic which the baby will outgrow, if by 3 months your baby still cries a lot, try a lactose free milk. 2 Likes |

Well I see people telling you not to tell her son but from experience similar to yours even worse, my mil steals my money anytime she comes around or if I go see her and she will now borrow money from me again. What solved mine was telling her son, and also informing her that we make all financial decisions TOGETHER, once she knew I can't give her money without my husband's knowledge and vice versa, she stopped asking. There's a reason why it is said the two shall become one in marriage, it is for both of you to fight this kind of battle together, once she senses that division, she will use it a against you with her son. My husband knew who his mother is and was not surprised when I told him and he made sure his mother saw our togetherness in all things and it's been helping me so far. 5 Likes |

@tyconcepts, how are you, have you had your baby? |
![]() |
tyconcepts: I wouldn't want you to blame the doctor at all, he might not see it coming, every pregnancy is different, every woman is different. Your baby could have decided to come earlier and vagina delivery was possible at 38 - 40 weeks. He couldn't have known that your cervix would still be close at 41 weeks. I was also in the same situation, my cervix was still close at 41 weeks and in my case the cost of cs was 550k, I did not plan for it at alllll, we had to find the money within a week and had cs done making me to give birth at 42weeks. Just trust God and he will surprise you. I have learnt a lesson cos I am a FTM, the next missionary journey, I will start saving for cs right from day one....and if we don't get to use it, it will be extra cash for us when baby comes and I think all mamas should also do this, as much as we all want vagina delivery, please start saving money on the side for a possibe c-section cos you might need one. May God see us all through. 6 Likes |

proudmom38: You might not menstruate for up to a year if you are breastfeeding, but you may start ovulating after 6weeks. Please look for a convenient family planning option ASAP. |

mydreams25:Peadeatricians often advise against the use of powders in babies cos they tend to inhale the fine particles of the powder, why not see a doctor, I know a lot of people prescribed baby tribotan, I use Shea Butter mixed with coconut oil though and it works for me. |

Thanks @megilicious, favoredgirl, @modath.. lol, @joyousf... I had my baby 11weeks ago. Well I just felt I should let it out, I would have been more comfortable if it was just my gynecologist that was checking me, but that same day was the antenatal clinic so he was busy and I screamed my hearts out every time. Maybe I should be grateful that I did not have to go through what others are going through TTC... oh well, what women go through. |

Hello all mamas in the house, how are we doing. I know we have all gone through child birth experiences so I know we can relate to what I am to say. Since I had my baby, I have been feeling some how, I don't know if it's depressed or irritating and my challenge is this. I was naked a lot during my child birth process and a lot of people inserted their hands inside me in the name of checking my cervix. I cringe any time I remember this even as I am typing I am barely holding it together, it's not been easy for me. After some days I had my baby, I had to go back to the hospital cos I was bleeding profusely, by the way I had a c-section, so I had another dose of being touched and different things been inserted down there to help remove blood clots. The thing now is I haven't been over this incidences, I feel highly uncomfortable in my own skin, I can't stand being naked, I can't stand not wearing pants, I feel so vulnerable. As much as I understand that all they did was to safe my life, I just don't get how I feel, I haven't even been able to talk to my husband about it. |
