What is this thing about not using baby lotion for new born? Abeg make una answer me o.

Let me explain it the way the mw explained to me-

The lotion sometimes block the skin openings of newborns and encourage baby rashes and other skin irritations, hence I was advised to use natural products as much as possible for the first few months. I was actually told to use olive oil but I tried sheabutter cuz it's natural as well and it's been perfect for my baby.

That said, all babies are different and some might not react to lotion but with Naija heat, hmnnnnnnn

FexCathy:
Abeg mamas, I get pains like menstrual cramps evryday o! Is dat false contractions?

If you are close to EDD, it's most likely false labour. When it starts and it doesn't stop, it's true labour

All the best dear!

Do you mix it with anything? Since it's usually not in liquid form, it needs a lot of message to spread all over the skin. Wouldn't that be too hard for a baby's tender skin? #JustCurious

Hello mamas, is it ok to drinkk lots of milk during pregnancy, I have lost weight sometimes during my pregnancy due to emotional issues affecting me. I need help on what to do? Although I have gained weight back but I am confused as to the exact month /weeks I am.

milk is safe in pregnancy. Wen did u see ur period last? If u re nt sure, u can do a scan to date ur pregnancy

No, I don't mix it with anything, I use my hand to rub on the solidified butter and use the oiliness of my hand to rub his body.
It's almost like I am using Vaseline on him.

And no, it's not too hard on his skin cuz it's all natural and unadulterated, same reason why olive oil is recommended too. I prefer it to the various chemicals combined in most baby lotions, which I think is sometimes too harsh for newborns but at the end of the day, it all boils down to mothers' preference.

@ Kimoni, well am almost close to EDD sha. Tanks a lot.

FexCathy do ooo...baby wan commot.

Pls mamas, what can I take for cough and cattarh? Its rily dealing with me causing me serious headaches.

@kimoni,
Your assessment is on point,the midwives @ the GH where I had my son turned us away from lotions during d ANCs cos they explained that oyibo weather different from our own and not all babies will take to it.
They also advised that we should be careful if we still intend to use it and not allow it get under the navel when the cord hasn't fallen.
My son took it to another level and had rashes from just using the baby soap,Imperial lather was butter on his skin,olive oil kept him shiny like a newly polished shoe.

@fexcathy,
Waiting.................... And you can take cough linctus and piriton for the cough. Safe delivery and happy baby.. Xoxo

One love

Erm,as a first time mum,i bought all d buyable to rub on my baby's body.
At d end of the day,i ended up using only shear butter.
The worst thing is that the thing is very cheap and local yet very miraculous and amazing.

no diaper rash. As per all my creams,they r there.
Next time,i ain't buying any. Shear butter all d way. Now it's vaseline mixed with vaseline lotion.
Used cusson baby soap till one yr.

@d lady asking if it will change her baby color,why not use and check?

Umu nwanyi kwenu!
Lovely and strong mamas

Good morn to all mamas,hope our nites was good.

At my last ANC I was given fansidar for malaria I think,so I took the drug in the night but surprisingly as I woke up in the morning I got some blisters in my mouth. Does this mean I have malaria or is it a sign?and it's even getting wider sef, don't know o, any idea?

cococandy:
Umu nwanyi kwenu!
Lovely and strong mamas

Hey, mama! Morning.

So ibu one of our sisters...

Sorry,just checked now. The drug is Fralomin,a type of malaria tablet I think

@imurboss,
Fansidar is used as a prophylactic in pregnancy to checkmate malaria before it gets full blown, you may have the parasite and not be ill, so what likely happened is that the drug did its job and took malaria out before it knocks down the boss lady.

@proudy,
No vex my sis,how the male proudy?believe lil proudy is dancing etighi and suo wella.

@cococandy,
Kwezu enu, I hope I didn't murder the language oo, I be ofe nmanu.

False labour it is. It's preparing your body for true labour.
