Una see why y'all need to start cloth diapering and cloth wiping? No complaints about wastage, infact Himself uses the cloth wipes gladly. Do you know I cannot remember when I bought wipes this year? There's even a new company for cloth diaper babies by cloth diapering mothers coming up and those people mean serious business

enjoy the phase dear, expect more especially when she start walking. My kitchen is now my man's playground. he picks anything pickable and even stretch leg when hand cannot reach, just broke my plate this morning.

Onegai:


Coolness! Abeg where is it? Please how much is it, any idea?

Re: about the crawling, well done for her! Big milestone. But you're not allowed to panic until she poops a cockroach leg, you find her sucking on the end of your plugged-in phone charger or you see her sitting down calmly beside your broken wristwatch (with the battery not visible).

Thennnnnnn you panic about her crawling

oh wow. Pele. I'm guessing his body was fighting a strong infection and his white blood cells couldn't increase fast enough (an elevated white blood cell count shows an infection. Think of more police showing up after a riot or robbery). Use all those mucus sucking bulbs and gently extract it and don't steam him. Just feed him normally and try and give him breastmilk in addition to formula, that's all you can do. He should start gaining weight now the infection has been fought. Well done for catching it on time.

Respiratory Tract Infections are usually a cause of lack of weight gain in babies. I know Ayolight had that issue and won, so you're gonna be fine. Just keep monitoring him and if things still don't look good in 2 weeks, mention me here (my email is acting up as usual).

Onegai:


Should we do this below? 6 week workout and then we also cut down on bread and rice and carbs (we minimise the amount we eat). I lost weight when I stopped eating 4 slices of bread almost daily. When I was gyming and still eating rice and bread anyhow, no weight left because as I was losing, it ws being replenished. But this time I'm serious.

zimunachimdi:


Good day mummy,pls kindly explain to me these cereal,pap,cerelac,gerber rice,oat,maize,millet etc. we are 4months old and will introduce something else soon. me,'i am not understanding' the difference. are they not all cereal?

MetroTee:


Thank you o! But... Pooping a cockroach leg I don't even know which is worse among all these scenarios I forsee myself crying soon

Meanwhile the place is somewhere in VI. When I made enquiries, it was 5k for a day. I don't know about registration or monthly fees etc will make further enquiries and share. Can't get over cockroach leg, i will keep wondering if she swallowed just the leg or the whole thing. Mehn....

Sorry for coming in so late.

A cereal is any grass cultivated for the edible components of its grain. You are right, they are cereals but they are different cereals just like the name says rice, maize, nixed cereals etc, even the fruits cereals like their apple and banana are still cereal based.
I add milk to to it, even baby cerelac that has milk already, I still add my baby milk cos me no trust that their milk or know their quantity.
So if your baby eat rice cereal with milk in the morning, know it that your baby ate rice with milk and if he takes oat with milk as lunch, then he ate oak , same thing with eating banana and apple at night , maize etc. with that, he has eaten say 4 different meals a day and not same same meal for the whole day.
Do you get?

Bisoye82:

But in addition to the above i will say daddy needs to chill on the fasting for a while. As he needs to put his age and health into consideration. If he cant fast due to ill health, it makes him no less of a religious person ( i dont know if he is christian or muslim)

As a catholic, we are taught that there are different ways of fasting and doing abstinance, so if you cant give up food on health and/or age reasons, there are other things you can abstain from.

For example: If you like things like coke, alcohol,chocolate, shopping, etc, even regular things you dont really think of like meat, tea, a particular food, or anything that one tends to take regularly. these are all things that you can abstain from and you can even go the route of donating the money you saved from not doing those things to a good cause.

You can also make a cautious effort to abstain from certain behaiviors.
Perhaps daddy may want to consider going down this route, whilst he is recovering.

He also needs loads of rest. If he is a christian, theee are loads of online prayer sessions that you can log on to and follow while chilling on the bed or sofa.

Hope he gets well soon.

Greetings from Ekene to all mama's in the house keeping this thread alive....I appreciate your job well done. This is for mamas in the house using Chicco products! I need help in confirming or allaying my fears ! I finished my first container of Chicco powder. DH just bought the second one though not from the same person we bought the first one. But on careful examination of the 2containers I noticed there are some differences and am wondering why! I have a feeling one is fake and the other original. ....
Please check your own powder containers and confirm which of these descriptions written on the labelling I am about to write here is same for yours too.....

1. Cont. A begins with GB Talcum powder while cont. B begins with I Telco

2. Cont.A has the following translations also TR talk pudrasi, RU Tanbk while B has its own wriiten as E Talco, P Talco, GR Tank .

3. Cont. A has the made in Italy writing written only in English whereas the one in Cont.B is written in 3 other
languages.

Please check your own containers please. ...what did you notice?

Help a mama.....someone cannot be spending money on fake items biko in this recession!
Pictures of the 2containers attached for more clarification
