Diamond sweats for africa,so he has rashes around his neck area but marhaba prickly heat powder does wonders, since you say its not heat i wonder, my baby still uses karnel oil after bath as all this mamas has refused to use his chicco lotion and all is well for now.
as for me the watery form still comes out but its not bloody anymore

my sis,the rashes matter tire me ooo but i am taking one step at a time as adviced. The moju powder clears it but it resurfaces after a while

Just noticed thick white mucus every time I go and pee then clean with tissue. My baby is breaking my pelvic bone!!

Can't move one leg well, like am dragging it. My mum says I will drop any day. Am so tired o

Chai! Some people are praying to have a mil that will do 1/3 of what your own mil de do o!
Bottom line you and dh should zip it. No be wetin persin sabi she go like put mouth? If she doesn't know your plans how in d world would she contribute jack to it. Stop fighting her cos you won't win. Hard as it seems use your ignore button over some utterances. Anambra people are generally nice, so its not a state thing at all. That's just who she is and to her she is doing what she feels is best for you.

Discuss gently with your dh about paying rent and NEVER pack to the family house. You are just inviting double wahala!

Beydew,most of d mothers here have spoken,pls listen to it. Let me chip in one or two advices of my own. Never move,pray,apply wisdom. Stop discussing personal issues with mil,she might mean well but use other approach which u might not like. And remember u are surrounded with women so u have to be careful. When pple offer too much gifts they want to exact some kind of authority esp when they are older,it happens even with the Yankees. Bottom line is always watch what u say in her presence,i guess u are yoruba ba,we sabi how to place words to suit ourselves without hurting d other person. And u get luck o,some pple never even recieve pin from there inlaws.

1. Make sure his head is in a raised position while sucking. Remove your nipple from his mouth say after every 2-3 minutes of sucking. Your milk must be flowing really well (like an ice cream fountain) which is the reason why he's sucking with so much rush and passion.

2. Stop the baby oil. Get original imported coconut oil instead.

3. Original Vaseline blue seal is very good. Stop the lotion. Replace it with original imported coconut oil.

4. Are you sure the nappy is his right size? If the nappy is not his right size, there will be leakages. Go a size lower and see if the leakages will stop. My son is almost 11 months and he's been on size 4 pampers since he was 7 months.

5. It's perfectly normal. It can continue for as long as 2 months. You are tired of wearing pad abi . Pele. Endure. It will soon stop.

6.

mummy,u made me laugh in ur response to question 1. I am not sure of it flowing well,i think it is more of the way he grabs/rushes it.
2 and 3 noted,dont know where to get the imported one even to find locally made wey correct na wahala.
D diaper is his size,3-6kg,and he was 4kg at birth.

Thank God,the flow is normal. Waiting for 2months to reach.
Thanks alot ma.

AlphaHandMaiden:


The effectiveness of a cloth diaper is down to the system you use, how heavy a wetter your child is, the kind of fabrics used for absorbancy, quality of materials and even the fit of the nappy on your baby.

Brand and cost is not everything! Most of my nappies are "branded" and were not cheap but i have had various experiences with them. Even how quickly they dry need to be considered.

Microfibre inserts will be the cheapest and are likely to be the default that comes with most pocket nappies but the are also notorious for compression leaking. So never use them alone.

For me, I have found that my all-in-ones give me a maximum of 2-3 hours. And tend to leak through the leg stitches when saturated. . However they are straight forward to put on so if you want hubby or others to be able to help with the nappy changing this is the simplest route, if you get all flats, and he has to start trying to decipher folding technique he may just give up.

For nights or when i want longer performance i use fitteds with a separate wrap. As they have a larger surface area of absorbency as the entire nappy is absorbent as opposed to just a folded pad in the middle. And they are also quite easy to change when half asleep at stupid 'o'clock in the morning without having to fiddle with pins, snappy or whatever associated with flats

Flats and prefolds are also good. But some folding skills are requires with this. But this isnt rocket science and quite easy to master.

With all these you will still need some boosters and inserts to improve performance.

Cotton is good for absorbency, bamboo is better and hemp is also on the top end of the scale for absorbency as it holds much more liquid than the same thickness of cotton/ bamboo so they tend to me much thinner and also a bit more expensive.


In the early days... i used muslins as flats and secured with a snappy/ nappi nippa, these were practically dry after like an hour out of the wash. On emergency days i can still use these and boost with a bamboo or hemp insert and pop on a wrap.

This is just my own experience sha i know people who can swear one type or the other works better.

I will advise getting a bit of the different types available as you will find out that your favorite after use may not be what you thought it would be based on theoretical assumptions.

But bear in mind that with cloth nappies you will change more frequently than disposables... most disposables have a core that turns to gel and holds a lot of liquid giving you performances of up to 12 hours....
Cloth nappies on the other hand WILL leak when they are fully saturated as the urine will need somewhere to go if the nappy thoroughly soaked! So dont get caught up in any claims of 8 or 12 hour or whatever performance.... if your child pees like an garden irrigation system you will change more frequently or boost the nappy to buy more time.

Thanks for this detailed review, am glad to see one from a Nigerian, not all the Oyibo ones that is all online. Am planning to Cloth Diaper when I have LOs. From all my research, I've narrowed methods I'd like to try to AIO, Fitteds and maybe Pockets and Flats. Flats will be for emergencies though and to also serve as a booster to the Pockets when needed. AIO for ease of use for others who would have to change babies. But I think am gonna love the fitted more due to higher absorbency. Do you have any brand you'd recommend for experience? What's your thought on China Cheapies? China Pockets are what I've found to be available and affordable in Nigeria though, the Rumparooz brand though available on an online diaper store is quite expensive.

Good morning Mamas

I dey follow you do countdown to midterm. God has been faithful. Insomnia and back pain got nothing on me. Welcome mztyqal, have a safe and smooth ride.

Team December for supernatural delivery

zaynie:
Beremx, do a pregnancy test to reassure yourself. You know sometimes menstrual symptoms mimic pregnancy symptoms.
If it is negative, you may want to look into family planning in order to rest your mind.

Ijeomaobi, easy with the exercises. Don't over stress. The pressure you feel is your baby engaging.

Aunty Damysa, you still haven't plenty room there for baby to turn, flip and do all sorts. Chill till like 37 weeks or 38 sef before panicking. And pop in more often cos I'm sure you haven't many experience to share with us.

Congrats Onyxgem10, may your child always make you happy and proud. Amin.

Please mamas torchlight this matter. I am a ftm and 17 weeks gone. Throughout today my tummy and sides has been paining me. It's like when LO shifts he lies on one side and that place would be paining me. later the pain would shift to another side.
Please is LO not still too small to be making feel like this? Is this normal?
Thanks all.

I think its your tummy stretching to allow your baby more room to flex.
Have you had any scans done?
