Some tips to get rid of postpartum belly fat and get your flat tummy back...

PART 1
When you have a baby, it is completely normal that you put on some weight in your body or in your belly, so don’t feel bad when your body is simply following a natural process.

However, the earlier you start working on your postpartum body and belly, the easier it would be. This doesn’t mean that it is impossible to address as time goes on, but it is generally better to start early because the effort it would take to address it would be somewhat lesser.

Please note that all the information and tips and products are valid for CS deliveries and vaginal deliveries. However, with CS, you just need to be sure your stitches are healed and that there is little or no pain anymore.

If you are a woman who needs her belly warmed up and softened, don’t overlook the hot water compress; it works. Or you could use a hot water bag. (Please don’t get burned using very hot water. Use water that is more hot than warm but not too hot).

After you compress for about 20-30 minutes with a damp cloth (make sure you touch everywhere you are not comfortable with), then you can wrap up in your Abdominal Binder or postpartum belt for the next few hours in the day or overnight. You would probably need three rounds of hot water so that as one starts to cool off, you replace it. You would definitely see results whether it has only been a few weeks since your baby or even up to 5 years after your last baby.

Another way to get rid of postpartum belly fat is the traditional way we back our children. This is the secret of the village woman. She has no abdominal binder or postpartum belt. She doesn’t even know what these are. But she backs her baby every time to do her chores. That baby would be tied to her back for the next few months or so. But you see, her tying her baby on the back and tightly tying the front part of her belly to make sure the baby is firm enough is another compression opportunity we overlook.

But if you are a career woman or a business woman, get a post-partum belt or binder, but also try to tie your baby in the back if you can. It helps compress your tummy and also helps you and baby bond too. And when tying, try to tie correctly. After the top wrapper around your breast, also have another one that focuses on your belly too…in all, you would need at least two pieces of clothes.

To be continued...

Thanks. How much is delivery? How much will each mama pay?

So obviously we r 6 dats if tchiwinnie is still interested cos we haven't heard frm her
Since we r 6 we will b ordering for 60bks so each mama will hav 10each cos there's no way we can share 50bks equally among 6 ppl
Cost of 60bks 14,400
Delivery 1,500
Total. 15,900
15,90 divided by 6 = 2650
So each mama pays 2650

Pls mamas lets payup dis wk so we can take delivery on monday
Where can we use as drop off\ pickup point

What about starting at 11weeks?

Yes you still can cos the dosage will definitely be completed before 6 months at a 4week intervals.

Every mama should please take note that there are two types of Rota vaccine.

Rotarix(RV1) first dose should be taken between age 6week to 12 week and not later than 24 weeks 6days of age for the TWO SCHEDULES

Rotateq(RV5) first dose should be taken between age 6 weeks to 14 weeks and not later than 32 weeks of age for the THREE SCHEDULES.(my son took this one as its what my hospital has in stock when we took ours)

So if you plan on giving your baby the vaccine please do so before the weeks indicated and be sure to ask the health personal which form of the vaccine they have available that is the Rota of just two schedule or the Rota that is given thrice.

Finally it's an oral vaccine(dropped inside the mouth)Don't allow anybody inject your baby and say they have given them Rota o! though it's usually given along side other injectable vaccine its your right to ask the nurse the name of each vaccine as it's been given just to make sure(it's your babys life and your hard earned cash) so ASK.

dexterush:

No oh,I don't think I want to wait for them to stop on their own, have you taken you time to see how they look when sucking seriously? (dont mean to sound rude but Most of them look lost and dumb and its annoying).
The disadvantage outweighs the advantage so I must not relent oh.
My DH was indifferent about it before,but when he saw his friend's daughter sucking and looking annoying no be person tell am to join me in the fight.

Infact, the looks is really annoying. My baby own, Humm annoys me a lot. Sometimes, I feel like calling him one name like that

Jennykoko3009:

Does it have any effect if start pap early?

*The child may suffer from allergies
*May not be able to digest it well
*May have diarrhoea or even constipation
Though some mothers in the village start pap as early as 2months but that's due to ignorance. WHO says a child should be on bm or formula exclusively for the first 6months of life and American Paediatric Association says at least for the first 4months of life. So that's it

Jennykoko3009:


Thanks mama. Bt i dont really know how agbo looks like, i've just been hearing abt it. Am an igbo

my boy had it too, very irritating thing especially when his hair use to fall out in chunks with his scalp(eeeewh),there was nothing I didn't do.well a woman later brought me some red flowers (Google red acalypha plant and see if its planted in your neighbourhood),I washed it and boiled,it was the water that I was using to bath him morning n night in less than 5 days,it disappeared(I couldn't believe it),then use coconut oil as the cream both on the hair ,allow the hair to dry before combing.

Happy Friday to my beautiful and swaggalicious mamas.

I only get to slip around his 1st round of slip. as soon as he wakes up in d next 1 or 2 hrs, i bf him back 2 slip, but as 4 me, slip is off my eyes til day break.
I stil await d day he ll slip truout a whole night without waking up.
God help us....

It's been puzzling me ever since that method was raised here the chaff that wasnt separated won't allow it thicken and even if you succeed won't it come our like kenke? That Ghana food that is eaten with pepper sauce and fried fish That's if it's corn you milled. i then wonder what millet that hardly thicken when sieved will turn out like with all the chaff left in. Success stories please share with us how you did it.

I have bought that powered Pap it didn't taste like Pap to me at all! Plus I didn't get that aroma peculiar to Pap. The powder felt more like custard to touch so I'm guessing it's custard and not Pap like they claim.

I am not using a govt hospital so have no idea if you have to book down first.
Where I use u just go with your baby on the day of immunization, you pay and get it. Though I've heard some hospitals ask mums to pay ahead in other to book it.

U prepare like custard, don't let it be watery when u make it into paste, meanwhile have u ever prepared wheat mill like custard or semo like before, if yes it is d same process u follow. Any grain made Into powder form must always come out like pap/custard when prepared

Note: The paste should not be watery, it should b a bit thickened.

Ma, u can sieve it if u don't want the chaff inside. Use that sieve they use in sieving Elubo (amala).

There is no powdered mill that I can't prepare as long as it's not watery from onset. Even custard can be watery when not prepared well, likewise the wet/watered pap.

Even dried starch is added to some. I guess there is starch inside custard self, not sure sha.

Adeime, if you're in Lagos, cough out that Rotavirus money. I heard also Rivers and Anambra states give it for free. Lucky them.

PCV is free in government facilities in Rivers, Rota is paid for and has to be on request

@dexterush, i remove cap for your baby ,imagine hiding his face with pillow,ipray he stops it soon.

Ok thanks will put that into consideration whenever I try the dry Pap thanks again.

Meanwhile can any mama tell me what I can give my almost ten months old in place of milk? He has stopped taking milk both formula and bm? Just like that is it safe ok for his age not to have any milk at all? I use banana or pureed apple to sweeten his cereals without milk but I feel it's not sufficient

Today is the fourth day without a milk feed. Will be going to the hospital on Monday but I'd like to know if any mom has experienced this

Note he eats well any food I give him that doesn't have milk.
