Hey mamas.
How are we doing...

For about a week now, I noticed my DD has stopped waking at midnight to b.feed.

I want to assume this is a good thing, or do I wake her at nights?
She will b 6 months on Sunday.

Good Evening o
Please I'm about to get a house help. Can anyone suggest to me the kind of ground rules I should have? Also, asides from HIV, hepatitis and pregnancy test, which other tests do I need to run on her? When it comes to interviewing her, what kind of questions should I ask?

Please don't jump and pass o

Sorry for the late response, i am sure other mamas have chipped in.

The questions i have are more for you than for the nanny.
I would only add that you have a clear idea what her role is to be. So that when you have the interview it is clear to her what the expectations are.

Is she to help primarily with the baby, is she for housework and other chores or is she general purpose nanny/maid?

It will help if you can identify what is stressing you the most and delegate .

If it is cooking..... you can contract that out. So that things like stew, soups and smoke party jollof can be a staple. You will only need to make yam, rice, etc on the day to eat. And cook every once in a while. ( yes, you can tell i like party jollof )

I know someone who resorted to using disposables plates and cutlery at home so as to reduce the plate washing. Whatever makes your life easier.

If it is cleaning and household chores - then you can get the maid to do that. She doesnt have to be live-in for that. If you can get someone realiable that will come in the morning and leave in the evening , or even come 3 times a week. To help clean, tidy up, do the laundry, ( iron) Etc.


The main thing is to get someone reliable. As if not, they will just stress you out the more.

Hope it works out. It is not easy this motherhood

brownsugars:

Do you always burp him after feeding?
You need to.
Vomiting is inevitable when you dont burp...i personally had to learn this the hard way.
While feeding, pause & burp at intervals then continue feeding. Also remember to burp immediately after.
Do not jiggle or toss him around immediately after eating.

You need to watch out for signs that he's full:- Like if he stops sucking, removes his mouth and turns away his head persistently.

You can try expressing & bottle feeding so you can figure out how much he eats, then take it from there.

Crying & turning his head left & right after feeding might be for other reasons like sleep, heat, wet diaper, urge to poop, colic etc and not necessarily food.

I always burp him and when he doesn't his grandma carries him uprightly until he wakes up..Lol.

I have done the expressing thing and fed him the milk with cup and spoon at some point he stopped taking it.

Ohh!!! So I missed plenty gist because my login credentials refused to sign in:

For bread matter, it's like I just discover bread oo!!! I am really trying hard to reduce it. @enque, jazzjazz,brownsugars... you guys made me laugh so hard.
For keto wahala, I will pass Biko!!! Pre-pregnancy weigh was between 59&60kg now am btw 62&64 so not that bad. I am just doing Tommy trimming that's all and I have a good app from App Store call fitness that am using to do that.

Come to think of it, it's like too much exercise reduce breast produce? Right or wrong? @feddy27,sugah,zaynie.
@enque, I think you should be happy that your DD is now sleeping fully in the night. Mine still use my breast as pacifier though not yet 6month sha.

For the mama that mentioned about her baby stool hard, please give her water as advised by experienced mom in the house.

Good pm mums in the house. Well I last visited dis forum in 2012 when I had my first child. Now I am a new mum of a cute little dude. Pls I need your opinion of my hubby wanting my 5wks old baby to sleep under fan. Yours truely the baby sleeps like the baby that he is when the fan is at The highest and wakes up as soon as u reduce or turn the fan off. And while he is sleeping my hubby keeps telling me that I am the one punishing the boy by lowering the Fan. He keeps Making sound while he breaths like someone who has caterrh but there is no mucous in his nose I am so scared.

Funny people plenty here oo.

Me am weighing 69,abi na 72 be d last one? But I think I need to start watching it. Just dat it's not really showing, just have big bones and they are fattening up. Me I don't really care about adding as I pretty want it. Even hubby want it, he said he want me to add up so I can oppress his people (lol, they see me as small pekin).

For period, am still enjoying. No period twinnies are sucking like the just discovered it (copied from Iomoge2-. Heheeheh). Planniing to wean them at 15months. Never knew I could do this.

Mamas wen say her sixmonths old no dey wake up to suck, so u wan dey wake am up? Shuuuuuuuu? Wen me I wan make my pips dey sleep for night? Abeg, dey happy and make you too sleep your sleep jor.

Congrats.

My kids too sleep fine when it's cooler. Infact the night is so cool they don't wake up to suck, they will sleep like the babies they are. However, I ensure total covering. The head too must be covered. Let him enjoy the cooling well covered.

They never had cold until now sha.

Why don't you leave the fan on and cover him up.
Or lower the fan and remove some layers of clothes.

#Whistling.... When trouble sleep... Yanga go wake am... Wetin e dey finnnnnnnddddddd o?

Ha! Bread to the rescue....All this bread choppers, thank God am not alone. I even use groundnut to make the ministry move smoothly, e dey sweet die. Bread has become my saving grace whenever hunger strikes.
For the mama with the baby having mucus like thing( I cano pronunciation your moniker)It's normal according to google, the baby still has some left over mucus that will finally come out as catarrh. No fear.
Pls Mamas my DD and I fart like we are frm kuvuki land and it smells like shit. How do I handle it?

Nope! Dont think so.
Got my iud inserted after my 2nd period post delivery... The flow was crazy...

Thanks ma

AlphaHandMaiden:


Wake-gini?!

Please leave her oh!
By now she should even be doing a full nights sleep. 12 hrs if you are extremely lucky

As she has started this biko encourage her. It may just be a phase, and things will revert to normal ny the weekend.....lol! So just enjoy it.

I will even suggest that but she starts waking again, offer her water instead, that way you will discourage her from night feeding. By the time you are ready to wean her you will be grateful for it. Just make sure she eats well before she goes to bed.
