Ok thanks. The cream shelve de always empty, na soap plenty pass. I think I go follow your step and just stick to the little angels baby lotion wey him de use since birth. That one na asda de do am and it’s always there. We been de think say something specific for 3yrs and above go de. Something wey go de add some nutrient or skin growth for that age.

Thanks…
It can be difficult to find on the aisle sometimes. I can bet that I have bought soap before thinking it was body lotion. cheesy
The shelf arrangements need to be looked into in some of these stores. Check Savers, lots of varieties at decent prices.

Lol these people can act like they care about the baby more than you.

I have a 4 months old and a 2 year old. I can’t be running round the shop looking for baby toiletries, toddler toiletries then adult one. Baby and toddler use same toiletries, case closed! I use Aveeno for them both by the way.

I can relate to this o. Happened to me once. I bought soap thinking it was lotion. Skin was getting dry and scally. Till I complained to my colleague, she looked at it and laughed at me. I had been using soap for cream.

This was in cameroon so the label was in French and the soap looked like cream.

I’m not sure if you have gotten a suitable response but I’ll recommend LaRoche Posay body wash and moisturising balm as that’s what I use for my children. Pictures and link attached. I use the adult range, so also does their dad. Look into it, you’ll love it.

NB: If the complexion is necessary, The baby is fair and becoming lighter in complexion.

Hahahahaha. You no fit kill yourself. Sometimes I go think say that advice of giving birth to all the kids once is the best. Then again when I consider cost and energy to raise them, I go just calm. I think na car be the solution for this multiple buying. Cos sometimes when I go supermarket come back na only bread and fruit I buy for myself but I carry 3bags. But like say car de, I go just take my time waka everywhere and buy everybody own once and load for car.

It's now endemic.
It's time humanity has to live with this virus. Good that Boris has ruled out any more lockdowns, but the restrictions are almost as harmful as the lockdowns, especially the "if you get a positive LFT, go home for 10 days" stuff which is really killing public services.

Yes it reduces the complications and damages covid leaves. The infection is quite mild when you are vaccinated.

I see the policy markers putting it in the same category as flu pretty soon.

Hi guys, Happy New Year to you all. My spouse and 3 kids are coming to join me in a couple of months and I would deeply appreciate recommendations for decent and affordable areas to get accommodation in Birmingham. Someone told me of King standing and advised that I should go for areas like that as my budget is around £600-£650 for a 2 bedroom. Also really good Christian based primary schools will be a great attraction for me, I get that most of the schools are great and so I am just asking for personal reviews or recommendations based on individual experiences for what I should look out for when narrowing down my choices both for the accommodation and the school.
