We wants to start stopping her by all means. But I need advise on how to do this without really making outsiders look stupid.

I think its a phase it will pass in the meantime I will go with Hubby's suggestion and tell folks not to carry her especially strangers. How old is she?

Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by spiceeamiee(f): 8:25am On Nov 01, 2017
That four plates and spoon is a good idea. One for each feed, right? I think that's what I would do too. Thank you ma.

jazzyjazz:


We just started creche last week and this is what I do
I have a medium sized flask for his hot water. Then I put a big bottle of Eva water (this is to use to dilute the hot water and it also serves as his drinking water.

I instruct them not to wash any of his utensils but they said they can't give me dirty plates.

So, I calculate his feeds. Since cereal is all my son likes to eat, and I feed him every 3 hours, I calculate from 8 am to 5pm. How many times will he eat and how many scoops per feed.

I have a small flask, I mix his cereal with his milk so all they need to do is fetch the quantity he eats and then mix with water.
I equally put about 4 feeding bottles, 4 mins and 4 mini handkerchiefs. 4 plates and 4 spoons.

I always feed him before dropping him off

I also put 2 extra body suits, 1 extra pair of trouser (sometimes I put 2) and 1 extra pair of shirt

Reason for the extra clothes is 1. If he gets stained with poop, he can be changed into clean clothes. 2. The creche usually clean him up with wipes, change his clothes and comb his hair before I pick him up. So by the time I get there, he's clean and smelling fresh.

His bag is usually quite heavy but I prefer it that way. Also the creche is very close to my house so I don't have issues with the big bag

So I will be resuming work on Monday. I have sourced for a good day care (based on recommendations) for my baby. I bought some small storage plates to dish her formular in. One plate has enough formulae for each feed. I also bought the Gerber rice meal but no instructions on the pack on how to prepare it. Please how do they make It?. I intend to breast feed all through the night and morning before she goes to day care. How do i pack the food? Two feeds of formular and two feeds of cereals? What about fruit purees abi time never reach? I'm trying to rack my brain to know if i have actually done the things i should. Sabi mama's please help me with tips and advice o.

Yes one plate and spoon for each feed
If you baby will eat 7 times before pick up, put 7 plates and spoons.

I forgot to add earlier, I also put a cardigan, cap and flannel. Because the creche has AC I instruct them to wear him the cardigan and cap. I cannot come and be dealing with cold biko. Lol
The flannel is for them to lay on their own sheets before they put him to sleep

I also put an extra pair of socks too

I don't use gerber rice, I use greber oats... I have a mental calculation of how much my lo takes i.e. 4-5 tables spoons. I measure out and add 200mls of milk, and that's it. SO, if there's no instructions, u may hv to use ur discretion.
I've done some posts on my creche modus operandi, will look bk n tag u...I gat 0 strength to start retyping now.

How old is ur LO? I started fruit purees at 6 months, some people start at 4mts tho

u may need to upload a pix of the bowls u got, so we know wat we r advicing based on.

Hve u tried giving her any of these cereals/foods at home? I always try out new meals at home first b4 packing for creche, so i can see her reaction and that helps me know what she likes/doesnt like and guage what quantity she can finish, to avoid waste

Na photocopy oo...just last Saturday my neighbour gave me hers... see me happily rushing to make photocopy ehn. Did it for 1k.....i paid joyfully.

This is not nice and worse is saying it openly!

Remember this is someone's intellectual property! She spent time, money, effort, sleepless nights etc to put that book together and you come boldly to say how excited you are about photocopying it undecided undecided

For every mama thinking of making photocopy of August secret's book, this is absolutely unacceptable! Probably we didn't know in the past, but from today know that it is wrong! Imagine someone doing that to you!

There are a lot of free recipes online for your use! Please maximize those one and desist from photocopying hard copies or sharing soft copies with your friends. Their businesses can only grow when you buy!

Hello great mothers.

My hubby and I are really irritated about our daughter's behaviour. She agrees anyone carry her. Even if visitors are not willing she wil start crying for them to carry her.

She doesn't have class, this one carry me that one carry me, we are irritated. How do we stop her without visitors getting angry over it?

Sunday before the last I took her out on a walk, hey you guys need to see how she was embarrassing everyone we walk by, she will run to meet whoever she sees around with all smiles and hands up to be carried.

We wants to start stopping her by all means. But I need advise on how to do this without really making outsiders look stupid.

oya reverse this statement before you pay fine tongue tongue I understand how you feel and it can be really annoying. What you will do that I know works cos I do same with my kids: talk to her often... truth is :these children understand conversations no matter their age... I say to my son "No Fredrick, don't stretch your hands to be carried, that's not nice"...cos I say it often, it has become part of him and when his lil sis stretches to a stranger, he shouts ..Feddy, that's not nice cheesy cheesy. Again, when she stretches.... politely tell the person not to carry her and then say to her with a smile... that's not nice, you are a big girl...

Don't worry, it's a phase and will pass. Most importantly, I don't allow men carry my daughter, I will hold her while you play with her...yes; call me paranoid.. too many paedophiles everywhere. That's why I want only one girl; taking care of them is so much work grin grin grin

I hope that answer ur question. Yes one is a dose but I administer it twice (my doctors advice) and I never regretted it. The koko is to give ur baby twice so if u want to buy 2 no wahala

Actually she's right.

Plenty recipes have been shared here free of charge. AS herself shares free recipes on her IG page almost everyday, let's manage that one.

Please modify the post and include how old your baby is, incase other mamas want to put mouth. I think two feeds of formula and two of cereal is ok but pack and extra feed too just incase. My baby started this week too, we have been having two bags so far, one big and one small, cuz I'm literally packing everything, as time goes on I'd gradually cut down on the things I notice she doesn't use. No matter how many questions you ask you're still gonna do the same, better to pack too much than too little. For her first week, I think you should only pack foods she's happy taking. I've only been packing August secrets and mashed foods for my baby cuz she'd gladly open her mouth for adult food or anything that tastes like it but would fight you if you try to give her formula or anything mixed with formula. So right now I just pack two little flasks containing her food, I make the food in the morning before I leave the house and the flasks keep them warm all through the day. I breastfeed all through for the rest of the day and night.

exactly! we do it does not make it right.. we are here to help ourselves not just in mummy roles but in morals as well.

If you run a small business, you will understand the pain. I remember lagoshousewife lamenting seriously how some person where sharing her book in their whatsapp group. It could really be painful knowing fully well that she goes all out to share recipes. even mummysyum has wonderful recipes on her blog, now she created an e-book. The least anybody will do is to support her effort and buy the book
