Please can I use the sponge in the first and second picture to bath a 3 week old. I'm currently using the one in the last pic but it's useless.

I used the one in the 3rd pic for my newborn till about 5months. I guess it's because of the tender nature of their skin. Started using the one in the 2nd pic afterwards till date, quite soft and no complain.

Welcome Naomi14. Enjoy this beautiful thread where u will learn and laugh at d same time.no dull moment....

@Florena. At ur palm whitish and aw u r feeling? U joking or serious. Dont worry , whatever d outcome is, you will be fine.

The first one was a bit hard for my baby. I just converted one of his burp cloths to a wash cloth and that's what I still use

I bought washcloths too but we've never used them to bath her cuz it looks soft, she sweats and her skin is peeling off in some places cuz of a rash she had in her first week, I need something that can take off all that mixed with powder. I'd sha try a washcloth tonight just Incase I've been underestimating it.

Thanks, I like the 2nd pix too cuz that's what's used for my 2 year old nephew, it's just the right amount of soft and hard. I'd definitely switch to it when she's old enough, was hoping to see someone that's used it for a newborn tho with good reviews so I can switch faster

The side effect as i was told.

More than normal blood during p.
but it resolves in about 3 months. ... i didnt experience it sha. My p was scanty as always.

Its none hormonal so no acne or fattening.... cos its just there preventing pregnancy by not allowing d egg to implant....
Its alters nothing.

Mine was not comfortable when i first had it... infact i was walking like someone who was just disv.... cos i was aware.

Along the line.... i ignored it... and now i am looking 4 it sef.

Gaily04:
Thanks to all mamas that wished my Prince Charming a happy birthday. we are really grateful. God bless you.

Sorry is coming late. Happy birthday to your son. Many more wonderful years to him.

I have been using the second one since my baby was 2days old. But it scatters quick (like it comes off the rope binding it). So just buy several. My baby will be 3months old in few days and I an using the second one now.

It's non hormonal so it won't make u fat..
I felt a little cramping after d insertion but that's totally normal.

I used to have menstrual cramps pre-pregnancy but it stopped post-pregnancy. And No, iud doesn't gimme menstrual cramps either .

Hth

Wow oniovo congrats ma'am
Godbless n keep ur son
Doh!

So my baby is sleeping beside me today and her breathing is so noisy, I know babies breathe weird but she sounds really stuffy so I've been up half the night just watching her breathe (ftm things, maybe cuz I usually don't spend the nights with her, when her breathing is noisy I shine my phone light at her until it stops, when she's quiet, I place my hand on her chest to make sure she's still breathing who can please the world) anyway so I tried to google it and this came up . People are crude. Anyway apparently it's normal for a baby to breath like her airways are stuffed up, that's what I was about to type, not like a pig

Lol@like a pig!
Also took me a while to get used to d sound kept checking to b sure he was alright. My sister still teases me abt it. Then there's this thing their eyes do when they're asleep like rolling then u see only d white d pupils sort of roll up I observed it d day he was circumcized I was sure d nurse had caused my son to bleed to death I screamed til I was told its normal. Felt stupid afterwards.Google confirmed that its normal he still does d eye thing just not as often

What really matters is how soft the sponge is on the skin.

What I do (no matter how soft the sponge is) is to soak the new sponge in boiling hot water with added dettol for some hours. This further helps in softening the sponge.

Personally, I would use No 2 for the body from 4 weeks and No 3 for the face.

At least once a month, for hygenie reasons, I soak all sponges in fairly hot water and dettol. I also ensure I replace them with new ones often.

Lol @like a pig.

I am so used to that breathing now that if she is kinda quiet... i go to shake her a bit to be sure she is ok .

Top of the morning to you all mamas.

On the issue of sponge, I once had that issue. When ds was born, mil used the local sponge on him, but it has been soaked in hot water and savlon before I got home. And I continued with the trend till he was three months old.

After that I decided to change his sponge and started making enquiries. I was advised by a dermatologist not to use sponge on him. I only use his soap and he has never had any skin ish. He is 16 mths old now.

Even on myself I use sponge once in a while. It isn't advisable to scrub a baby's body
