Please how does one know if her Episiotomy site needs to be re stitched? just looked at mine now and it has an opening. . but I'm neither bleeding nor feeling any pain from there..
so scared of going to the hospital

cc tipsyjules , grandyluv and other mamas that hv epi. experience. .

Sorry for replying late.I saw this ur question and I decided to take a look at mine before I answer only for me to see what I don't understand and besides av been having slight pains there for some days now.I had to call my Dr so he said I should see him 2 more at the hospital. Though the stitches are still intact but am just feeling something isn't right.Abeg muna pray for me mbok I don't want to be re stitched for the 3rd time
My first stitch was just like an open wound, I wasn't bleeding just that I could see ny flesh.

enque:
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

Dear, thank you.

I saw a blanket I can use. It had a pillow and teddy bear inside. Though I forgot to buy it, I can get from my area.

I bought Zorbit.
Then I bought those liners, dry love wet wipes, sudo cream, and that napkin tie tie, can't remember the name.
I will get disposables to augment later. I have taken note of the brands mentioned.

Flannel is apparently a fabric type. I learned that at the market today.

Thanks for taking time to fetch zayni.e's resource on diaper sizes.
I appreciate

enque:
Cc lexajen... See bolded for ur question on diaper sizes

moderate quantities of size one it is then other sizes. Thank you

Onegai:


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.

Very much cheaper, I agree.
I bought 12 today.

Are preggos allowed to comment there, thought it wad strictly delivered moms. save for rare occasions.

quick questions please.
I bought booth soap. is it okay?

I was discouraged from buying cream. But can I use coconut oil mixed with shea butter as LOs cream for the first 6 months?

nennynj:



True talk. Am a testimony to dat. my lo didn't find it difficult to pump out the breast milk after I gave birth cos I was cleaning the breast everyday with olive oil using cotton wool. Blackish dirt due come out from my tips and the surrounding.

I just started, and im almost due o

jazzyjazz:
I also bought this type of cot. Mainly ncos I can collapse and travel with it as I and dh intend to travel a lot after lo is born.

If you think you need another mattress, then I think you can get it in one of these vitafoam or mouka foam shops

Thank you Jazzy bae
I like the packaging pass the opening

AlphaHandMaiden:

See some responses in red below.

Ese ma.
Thank you.
much appreciated.

rofemiguwa:


I also got dis type of cot.its good.
I got bigboy hot water flask o.it keeps water hot two straight days.

I no sabi flannel gown o.

I was using cusson den changed to dove sensitive soap.
Its working well for us.

Buy pampers mini or huggies na for d first 2months.u can den switch or alternate between cloth nappies n disposable later.

I wish I read my mentions before dealing with those dosumu hustlers.
kai, they can stalk for africa.
I threatened to call them Ole!! and thats how they left me.

mama, I bought booth soap, are we safe?
If not tell me o, let me go for Dove sensitive.
mama onegai mentioned it too.

I cannor coman take risk with LO skin

its all about my baby's birthday.

sugah:
Lexajen you don't need another mattress... That first layer is the mattress.
Don't know if its the same size as mine, but I use a pillowcase (100% cotton) as a bedsheet for it....I.e I put the mattress inside the pillowcase like a pillow so there are no loose clothings to prevent suffocation.

Thanks Sugah.
I will try this.

Ammy5565:
Pls lexajen, i really love that cot. Does it have a name? And pls how much did u get it??

Thanks Amyy
It has Graco inscribed o it.
I bought it for 12k. One woman told me 15k last and that one didn't look as cool as this.

Iffffffy:

Purity77:


Thank you so much mama.

So they'll give me all those freebies eh for trial. Very interesting!

For the diaper, I'll just buy some of huggies size 2 for now & wait.
Many many thanks Ma. God bless you much.



Thank you so much too mama Zaynie.
Since hospital will give us free diapers after delivery, I guess I'll just buy the size 2 & keep for now.
If they no give me plenty at hospital, we can always breeze to the mall anytime & buy some smaller size ie if baby won't fit into size 2 by then self.
Ose Ma!

Size 2 is way too big for a newborn. My baby was big at birth.... 8.9lbs (around 4.1kg) and we used newborn diapers for close to 4 weeks. Then I moved to size 1 cos the newborn was finished and they're kinda getting tight on him. He is on size 1 now, but it's too big.

I found out that some of them fitted well than the others though...Huggies snug and dry was the worst, it was way to big and he got blowouts a lot. I stopped hiding it until he gets bigger. Parents Choice (Walmart brand) is a bit fitted but it seems so thin and doesn't hold much. Pampers Swaddlers was okay. A bit fitted but can also be saggy and I have to pull it snug around him. The best fit for him right now is Huggies Little Snugglers and Honest diapers. They're snug and fit well with no blowouts. I got different brands during my baby

Also bear In mind that the hospital will not give you an endless supply of diaper. They gave me 60 Huggies Little Snugglers and if you're like me that uses at least 6 diapers a day and as much as 12, you'll run out fast.
