Abeg Mamas I get queshion...ftm things. I entered Walmart & got confused as to what to buy. Said let me ask first then go back. 1) Pls which size of Huggies am I supposed to start with immediately after delivery? Does Huggies have different brands & features like Pampers, and which is the best pls? 2) which baby wipe is the best or do I just buy any type of huggies wipe I see? 3) Pls which baby formula is the best to buy? Am thinking of Aptamil (is that OK? or is there something much better we are supposed to use as I don't see the popular Nan here) 4)Also is baby formula different from baby milk cos I saw someone here saying her newborn baby is on formula without baby milk? (That was confusing). 5) Please which car seat are we supposed to buy & go to the hospital with during delivery? Is it the regular car seat any child of any age can use or is there specific car seat for infants which one must start with for newborn, then buy another one in few months when LO is older. Thanks in Advance! Cc: Alphahandmaiden Zaynie Feddy27 Sugar Jamjam5000 Ozycy All sabi mamas |

@ purity77, I'll answer the one I can 5. I don't know what country you are but in some western countries, from my little knowledge, I think you won't be allowed to carry your newborn home from the hospital without a govt approved car seat that meets safety standards. You should buy the one that can be used from birth, usually you'll see it written on the carton: birth > older years depending on the manufacturer. Let it be rear facing too for safety purposes. But let it be the one stated "from birth" for your baby's comfort and also save cost on the long term. I attached a picture of what I'm talking about... I'm sure you will see very good brands in Walmart or any good baby store As for the other questions, experienced mums will soon come around to answer. I'm yet to put to bed so I don't know. 1 Like |

Oh, thank you so much Favouredmom! At least now I have a clue of what to buy...anyone that says "from birth"! The ones I saw were just on display up there & didn't have cartons for me to see any description. Some were so small a one year+ old child wouldn't fit in them while some were so big I started wondering how a newborn would be positioned in them safely with all the space. Was just confused. Thanks Ma! |

Gandyluv sorry dear I think you should find out what made ur stitches open for d 3rd time. I hope u are not sitting on hot water. I was stitched too and was being forced to sit on on top of kitchen stool with my legs closed. I did that for 2 days and realized it worsend the episiotomy pains, I was bleeding from d site so I stopped. I try as much as possible to avoid sitting on hard surfaces since then. Please check ur routine and if there's anything U should stop. Congrats on the arrival of ur baby |

BritneyStacy: Sorry I'm just replying. I don't use your regular scenting powder. I have only rising raving and I use it when rashes appear. When I had Moyo, I used Boots mainly cos it had cornstarch instead of talc. I didn't even finish a bottle. Sudocreme on the face isn't really a good idea but when my kids have rashes in the armpit, I apply and then cement with the powder. All these non-medicated powders do nothing for rashes o..... Chicco powder won't cure rash. It 'might' freshen up the face sha. 1 Like 4 Shares |

Purity77: 1. There's size one of huggies. Just buy a Lil of that..... say like up to 50. If scan confirms you have a big baby like 3.75kg and above on the way, you might want to jump this size and buy size 2. Size 2 should do till baby is sitting or crawling sef. So a little size one and a lot of size 2. I always buy size on cos it's always so cuteeeeeee on them. Snug and fit. 2. I use Huggies baby wipes; sensitive. Cos I don't know if the baby will be one kind selective baby. The one with aloe is also very good. Try to avoid the very nice smelling kind or any wipes with alcohol or and disinfecting wipes ( you can get this for cleaning surfaces ) 3. Whatever formula suits your baby's needs/tummy and your pocket and instincts. Buy just one at first to check if baby likes it and isn't sensitive to it. 4.formula is baby milk. Maybe she meant breastmilk or milk ( some kids are lactose intolerant ) 5. Infant car seat at birth. It's just their size. Regular car seat as they grow. Abeg where can I get seat booster for my 4 year old? That boy no wan dey hear sit down again 4 Likes 4 Shares |

Good morning Mamas. Abeg make Una forgive me for my professional MIA I'm beginning to experience the heaviness other mamas are talking of. Also Mamas, there is something I was taught that I have been meaning to share. It's about caring for our breasts. Before now, I had this dark dark patches all over, it made my areola feel very dry but I didn't bother myself much because I am a first time mum and I felt the changes are normal and those things would fall off on their own. But I used Olive oil to plaster every area of my areola (coconut oil works too) then I left it for a while, like 10 minutes, then I started cleaning. Christ!!!! The things that fell off ehn! Now I feel like the owner of my breasts again. I was also taught to be pulling my tips to allow for easy lactation. It was a really fulfilling experience for me and I wish that some of us who haven't started doing it will start. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

I intend to buy baby diapers. Is Napkin still in vogue, the white type I mean... Or should I buy disposable kind? Which one is affordable and what size can I get for a new born that will not make me regret? I'm scared of pampers Also, which soap and oil and powder is best recommended. I was also told to buy antiseptic baby cream, which one will I buy. What does a flannel gown look like? Which hot water flask brand is best?

My baby cot is a bit different from yours, but I bought a MOUKA FOAM BABY COT MATTRESS from one of their distributors. They make it specifically for baby cots, and it comes pre-wrapped wt a Waterproof material that prevents the mattress from absorbing pee or any fluid that pours on it. My mum says you may not get original white napkins of good quality anymore, but u can try asking when u get to the market. I googled flannel gowns and I was seeing images of gown Wey resemble normal nightgown. May I ask what u need them for?? I copied u in zayn.ie's comment on diaper size for newborns. There r lots of brands in the market but u can also ask experienced mamas around you and work with their feedback. My elder sis and 2 friends have recommended molfix diapers, I haven't bought any yet. Just start wt a small quantity first and then with time, u add more...that way ur not stuck wt lots of unused diapers which ur lo has outgrown. #My2Cents P.s - I am a FTM too lexajen: 1 Like |

@Purity77, 1. Most US hospitals give you baby diapers upon birth. You might want to buy from size 2 for long term use if you are buying cartons to take home. There are different types of huggies like you have pampers but I can't remember them. 2. I liked huggies sensitive wipes as well as Johnsons. 3. Most hospitals also give formula freebies so you might want to hold off buying. (Don't tell them you want to breastfeed). When baby is born, you can test which brand she will prefer before you bulk buy. But some brands are more expensive than others. 4. Already answered. 5. Buy an infant rear facing car seat first and then buy a convertible one later. They offer more support and is safer for an infant. Some buy travel systems that also include a buggy. From birth and rear facing should be your watchwords. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Good morning mothers.... I am one of u but had to use this monika for this issue.Pls i need advise I married some 3yrs back but i hv this issue am still unable to solve with hubby. 1 week to our marriage,hubby family put a stop to our court wedding saying dey dont do court wedding in their family.hubby begged me dat we shld do d church n traditional that we will do d court secretly wc i agreed to.since d past 3yrs he has nt agreed to do it. Now to my 2nd issue we hv gotten 4 landed properties in diff location and they are all in his name.not even in our two kids name or both of us name. I know i didnt complain abt d names in d first two properties but d last two i did n he still went ahead to do it.i know d reason is because his elder bro is d surveyor that works on d land b4 his lawyer work on d document so he is aware of it.so i feel he is doing that so that his bro wont tell d rest of d family.infact i dont even know what to think again.i stopped him from using his bro as d surveyor but he says he cant use outsider wen he has one. He feels i dont lack anything and he provide all we need n even do house chores n what hv u so i shldnt complain abt this. Pls mamas i dont know if am being paranoid abt a non issue but am really takin dis serious and its affecting us. 1 Like 1 Share |

Purity77:1. Do not buy diapers before birth. Your hospital would provide you with diapers ( most likely pampers swaddlers for newborn) that might last you a few weeks...then depending on the weight of your child, you would start buying afterwards... I'm not a fan of Huggies so I don't even know if they have different types. I prefer Kirkland's diapers and wipes 2. Kirkland wipes is rated one of the best.. But I bought parents choice (Walmart brand) while I was there. I totally loved it. 3. Again your hospital would give you baby formula... Maybe you should buy the brand they give you. Mine gave me Enfamil. 4. I'm not sure, ftm tinz too 5. Infant car seat...( can be used upto 2years or so, check the weight limitation) cos they have a handle you can use to carry the seat around. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Mnit:Of course its an issue. The question is not if he can provide for you now, its if he has made arrangements to cater for you and especially his kids when he is gone. If he doesn't want to include your name cos of what his brother might say, then he should write a will and make sure you and your kids are the sole beneficiaries. Also, taking out life insurance is a way to secure the kids future. Your first issue, can't help. I didn't do court wedding either. We chose not to cos we are not expecting a divorce...maybe I'm just naive 1 Like |

lexajen: I use nappies and cloth wipes and they work well for me and I believe in the long run, they are much cheaper and function better than most locally produced diaposable diapers. I used Aveeno baby wash and switched to Dove pure and sensitive after 3 months. Antiseptic baby cream is unnecessary in my opinion and I shared on the Newborn thread a link that antibacterial handwashes and soaps were being banned in the U.S. from next year. I can answer more there on that thread if you like. |

sugah: Cc. Mnit I agree with sugah. Firstly, if you contributed to purchase of the land, you name needs to be included on the deeds. Secondly, him putting your name on the documents should not be an issue because his brother is the surveyor! So what if the family knows you both bought land. You are his wife and the mother of his children! Who else will he buy land for? With that kind of attitude, just pray for long life for him cos there are likely to be inheritance issues. Thirdly, agreed a will should be written to ensure no hanky panky, but writtng a will is not the issue, he slso needs to put good executors in place as well. If he puts idiots or someone who doesnt have your interest at heart, na there una go dey. Fourtly, churches need a liscence to marry people and for that marriage to be recognised by law! that is why , in church you signed a document called the wedding register and you should have submitted a copy to your local government office. This is essentially the same document you would sign in a court wedding. It is a legally binding document. So if na only espiritus string tying of hand or sand pouring ceremony una do... then the marriage can be contested. Lastly: The issue is not taking care of you when all is rosy, its when shi.t happens that story will change. It doesnt even have to be death, even a long or unexpecred serious / critical illness. There are cases where the guy is unconcious in hospital and the wife has no access to his accounts to get money for his treatment. Meanehile here are millions sitting there! Unfortunately nigerians are generally bad at talking about death and mis-fortune.... na so so "God forbid "and "its not my portion" we go dey talk"? Life happens and with life sometime comes illness, accidents and always death. No one wishes for such but it doesnt harm anyone to be prepared. 6 Likes |
