Hello mummys and daddy's. I've bookmarked this topic since I was pregnant. So welcome me to the club, my baby will be 6weeks on Sunday "dancing"
Need help, (1) He doesn't sleep at night, even when he does, he wakes up at every 1hr , What could be the cause? (2) He likes to be carried / rocked, he wants to sleep on your chest / arms, is there anything I can do to make him sleep on his bed (3) Want to introduce formula as I will start work by Nov, which one can you suggest?

In addition to what other mamas have said, some babies don't like noise so watch out for whatever that distracts him when he's trying to sleep. You can also dim the lights if the room is too bright.
Train him to lay on the bed and gently pat him on the back till he sleeps off.

Morning mamas, My baby is about to be circumcised at 1 month old. please I need to know how this modern circumcision thing works. Does it come with fever? How long does the healing process takes. (God please I can't stand him going through another pain.)
Hello mama. My son was circumcised a week after his birth. I did not see the process while it was done but the tip of his pen*s had a ring that fell off by itself on the 5th day. We were told not to apply anything (the likes of penicillin, engine oil etc) which we adhered to. We just let hot/warm water rush down the place while bathing him. He never developed fever. The only thing given to him was paracetamol. He cried alot cos of the pain though but he is very fine now and the site is healing fast.
N.b he will be 3weeks on Wednesday.

How I wish, we had done it around 1 week old. My concern is at his age now, he already knows pain. Thank God it doesn't cause fever sha. It is well.
Thanks @katchycouture

It is usually advised that you get to the hospital early enough.
Get your paracetamol ready (I advise Calpol brand) because the pain is very very real. Me I kuku cried when I couldn't bear his screams.
The doctor/nurses will advise on how to care for the site afterwards.
The cap came off the 3rd day after the circumcision and we started applying penicillin ointment.

The thought of another boy scares me too whenever I remember the circumcision event. I already feel teary sef...
Don't worry, its part of the motherhood package, y'all will be fine.

My baby was circumcised at one month too and i was present when the whole thing was done. 30mins to the time, we were asked to give him baby tylenol ( like paracetamol) after which he was injected at d site and cut ( yea he cried abi na scream.lol) and that was it. We were asked to put vaseline on d site for 2 weeks (no ring). He cried for like the first 3 times he pee after which he was fine. He just slept all though the day. We weŕe asked not to give him a normal bath for like 2days so we just use wash cloths and water to clean him up. Also no baby wipes when he does the major, we cleaned him up with wash cloth and water. The experience wasnt easy for me but it sure was worth it.

Hello ladies I trust everyone is good. Lovely forum you have here i've been a silent reader for quite sometime now. Pls mummy's I need your help.

Does anyone have an idea on where I can get Asda Little angels diaper for my LO in ABUJA . That's what i've been using for the past 3 months and it's been fantastic. I'll really appreciate it if anyone can help me as to where it can be purchased from in Abuja. In the past I got it from Lagos but now we've moved to Abuja and I haven't been able to find it anywhere.


Do have a lovely week mamas.

Please mamas, have always want to ask this question but I thought the solution will come on its own. Am 3 months postpartum and my tummy still look very big. I mean very big o. How did you achieve your flat tummy after delivery especially for delivery with c.s? Thank you mas

You have to exercise maximum patience on your tummy.. It took it 9 solid months to expand and accommodate the lil angel you have there so you don't expect it to shrink that soon more esp when its cs...Unlike vd where you can aid its shrinking...

And again it depends on how your tummy was pre preggy...You have to ditch carbonated drinks and cold water completely...
It will take time but it will surely go down

Hello mums, quick one, my husband just got in with Nan formula, price is 2,300 (I expect it to be more pricey) Also they wrote premium starter infant formula ,but the ones I saw on line was starter formula without premium, is this okay please.

Angeltolly, u'lld be surprised ur son may not even do pim. When my baby was circumcised, he didnt shed a single tear. Doctor called him a brave young man *pops collar*. No pcm because there was no fever. He had his normal bath as the site was covered with a transparent cap. When the cap fell off after some days, we applied penincillin on it for a short while till it formed well and dasall. Dat was my own experience and u just may be lucky.

It's fine. I even buy my NAN for 2100, carton price. It's made in Nigeria by nestle and recommended in most hospitals. If your baby likes it, you're good to go

I did but next time I won't. I'd just give her the mashed yolk to lick and give her water, try get fresh egg from a reliable source. Most of these supermarkets, when egg expiry date reach, they would just wipe it off and write new date cheesy, let's not even talk about the roadside shops that have no expiry date at all. Buy from people that sell-off and get supplied daily.
