Stevepop:
Hi everyone- will appreciate every input or tips I can get especially from experienced parents.

Our little one (9 months plus) started day care last month when wifey's maternity leave ended. Ever since she started, if it's not cough today, it's cattarh or fever, infact there was a time she had conjuctivitis (apolo) also. It's just two months now and we are tired. We are currently battling cough, cattarh and fever (2nd time in 4 weeks). We've taken her to the GP twice and the doctors more or less just said "welcome to the club" and that it's normal. Just said we should continue to use calpol, calcough or nurofen.
To be honest, the cough/fever is not weighing her down as she feeds and plays normally, just that it's always worrisome having to watch her breath with blocked nose and bouts of cough. If it were to be in naija, grandparents would have swung into action with different remedies but over here, na only calpol we here .End of rant!!!

Please is this normal? What other home remedies can we explore? Looking forward to your responses

Hi, I've been in your shoes before I found this
'miracle' dehumidifier. . Drug doesn't have much effect on this type of cough and catarrh that's caused by weather,children's toys and molds. Please go and get Dehumidifier and put in every room in your house. The effect is almost immediate.
Check on Amazon or eBay for different ranges. Unibond Aero 360 is easy to replace,cheap and very effective.
Good luck.

The bolded is a dehumidifier which is opposite of Humidifier.
Not sure dehumidifier helps with cough, I think it is humidifier that helps.

Hello everyone!

I need a guide/advice

There is this school Hult International Business School, I have shown interest to do master in Finance with them, I got a call from someone who claimed to be from the school. He asked for my background and reason why I wanted to study master in Finance after which he told me that the next admission will be September 2023. I was told that the tuition is $55k.

My question is, how do I know if it is genuine and also that's about ₦30m which I can't even afford.

You'll need to ask this on the study in UK thread. Plus how can a UK institution quote you fees in $? All their fees are stated on their websites. Don't get scammed o

This makes the whole experience burdensome. What are your experience fam and what are your coping strategies?

Parents' death certificate, the child's birth certificate showing the dead people as her parents, a court order granting you parental responsibility or adoption documents. Also, proof that the child has been living with you and that you've been solely responsible for the child.

Olbas oil works as well. Buy at boots and put on baby's beddings or clothes. It helps relieve breathing and helps get rid of cattarh easilu

Thank you.

Hi fam, I'd like to ask if the maternity allowance counts as public funds

Hkana:
Hi fam, I'd like to ask if the maternity allowance counts as public funds

I’ve heard it’s dependent on length on the job and type of employment. Hopefully someone with experience will throw more light.

Hkana:
Hi fam, I'd like to ask if the maternity allowance counts as public funds

Maternity allowance is not public funds. It is paid by the govt instead of the employer and is linked to earnings and length of employment. See below excerpt for more info:

Maternity pay if you are working or have worked recently

Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) is paid by the employer for 39 weeks to women who meet the qualifying conditions.

SMP is paid at two rates: for the first six weeks you get 90% of your average pay. After that you are paid £156.66 per week (April 2022 – April 2023), or 90% of your average earnings if that is lower, for 33 weeks.

Your employer must pay you SMP if your average earnings are at least £123 per week in approximately weeks 18 – 26 of your pregnancy. You must give your employer notice of the date you want to start your maternity leave and pay by the 15th week before your baby is due. You must also give your employer a copy of your MATB1 maternity certificate which you can get from your GP/midwife when you are 20 weeks pregnant and ask your employer to work out whether you qualify for SMP.

You are still entitled to receive SMP for the full 39 weeks once you have reached the 15th week before your baby is due and met the qualifying conditions, even if you are subsequently dismissed, made redundant or your job comes to an end. If your employer refuses to pay SMP or does not pay the correct amount, you can claim it from the HMRC Statutory Payments Disputes Team on 0300 322 9422.

Maternity Allowance (MA) is paid by the DWP (Department of Work and Pensions) to women who do not qualify for SMP.

Maternity Allowance is paid at £156.66 per week (April 2022 – April 2023), or 90% of your average pay if that is lower, for 39 weeks.

You can claim MA if:

you have been employed or self-employed for at least 26 of the 66 weeks before the expected week of childbirth (you can use any weeks within that period), and
you can find 13 weeks (not necessarily in a row) in which you earned over £30 per week on average.
You should choose the weeks in which you earned the most. You can add together earnings from more than one job. Both employed and self-employed work counts for Maternity Allowance. You continue to be ‘employed’ by your employer during sick leave, annual leave and maternity leave so you can count those weeks as well.

You can claim Maternity Allowance on form MA1 which you can get from your local Jobcentre Plus, or by phoning the JobCentre Plus claim line on 0800 055 6688 or you can print from https://maternityaction.org.uk/advice/asylum-seekers-maternity-rights-and-benefits.
