Good morning Mamas, I've come with my QUESTION again...pls
I once complained about my itching and peeling areola which led to sore. I visited the doctor and was given hydrocorrisone cream to apply for 2 wks. A friend here also asked me to always clean it with methylated spirit. After a while everything came to normal. I stopped the whole process for a while and started noticing some flaking again and signs that the sore was going to return. That was how i resumed my routine again. Every morning, i clean with spirit and apply the cortisone. But everytime i clean, the cotton wool will be very dirty as shown.

My question is, why is it always dirty or is that how our areola is? I don't mind any info on breast hygiene. because i don't think i can be cleaning with spirit after birth.

Sabi Mamas abeg, don't jump and pass!!

I would suggest you stop both the spirit and hydrocortisone. For the cream I would suggest you seek another doctors opinion as it is a steroid cream and may need to be avoided while pregnant or breast feeding.

During these periods your nipples are generally more sensitive and the cream may be doing more harm than good. Depending on the strength you are using.

Clean n.pple using a warm hand towel when bathing. You could also use a sugar scrub to gently remove dead skin cells. After your normal bath. Simply mix granulated sugar and olive/coconut oil. Just use your eye to gauge it, put it on your damp hand towel and rub in a circular motion. Then rinse off.

Get some lanolin based n.pple cream such as lansinoh and use on it. You can also use olive oil or coconut oil as well. Apply generously at least 2 -3 times a day.

You can put on a breast pad so that your bra and clothes do not rub off on he ni.pples if they are sensitive. It will also keep the oils or lanolin on for longer.
If you are going to bed, sleep with a bra if you can , you can dip a cotton pad in the oils and pop into your breast pad.

You may just be suffering from dry skin. Pregnancy does weird s#!+ to people.

Note: What I did was that someone referred me to a big shop the woman sell wholesale prices. So I presented my list, selected everything she packed them, we calculated the total price together then I made deposit 3times . As I was making the deposit she asked me to be moving some things gradually cos of space in her shop Well the woman is nice sha and at the same time the trust was there not everyone will do it. So for most of us that plan shopping especially first time mums but don't have all the money in bulk, this secret may work for you too . Please mama's any other thing you think I need in the list, please add. Thanks

Below is the hospital list I was given no mucus extractor in the list maybe they don't use it.

Did you actually buy everything on this list above? Some are doubling up on uses.

For example flannels and receiving blanket are practically the same thing.
You have 2 in One flannel, at 2800
4 in 1 flannel @ 3800 AND receiving blanket + teddy bear @ 2500. That is N9,100 on flannel? And a teddy bear which you may get as a gift and is not really ideal for newborns anyways? You do not need that many. Check the sizes typically these would be about 32"×40" or thereabouts . The pack of 4 is more than enough.


You will need far many more bibs than 6! Except you want to be washing twice a day. Biko triple that number !

Your face towel can double as a sponge. Why do you need hard and soft? Save your 700 biko every little helps. Also you do know that you can get a normal towel and face towel for baby, and it may just be cheaper Just saying baby towel is such as scam!


Baby clothes dryer?? Is this specifically sold as a baby item? A normal clothes dryer will work just as well, and possibly cheaper and you can use it for the whole family.


Oh and baby bath set? Abeg what is in the set that is N13K. Honestly for newborns, those baby baths are quite useless, because you usually still have to hold baby or place on your knees to bath.... Just saying. They are more useful when baby can sit unaided.

Newborn mittens are also quite useless... as the bloody things keep falling off and getting missing.... You are better off getting body suits that have integrated scratch mittens or get socks..... and using on the hands... The elastic is much better and it is guaranteed to stay in place better.

Just my view. It may save you a few bob!

@ proudmum48, 4realwoman, BlessedDiva.....Thank you so much..........

Hello mamas. congratulations on your BFP. i have SITZ BATH BOWLS for sale in different colours. Kindly visit this thread for more info. https://www.nairaland.com/4022289/sitz-bath-bowls-new-moms#59967382

DrDhe:


Present...feeling hawt and fly. Please how can I get hubby more involved in this journey?

ok. My sis most husbands are like that. But once they start seeing baby clothes , cot, etc they would begin to realise that baby is coming for real. If your baby starts kicking u can place his hands on ur belly, it also helps

Well Madam the receiving blanket +teddy bear is same as the pics I posted below I saw it packed in a box and it came with a teddy it also came with a pillow which made it a plus and I picked it. For the fact newborns don't need teddy didn't mean they won't need it later. Can't be going to the market again to buy things if I could get it now, why not if the money is available now? I am not putting my hope on getting gifts from people if they come fine and if they don't, so be it!
Secondly, the flannels are those ones that you can use in backing baby and at the same time serve as bed sheets.

Normal clothes line dryer for my first baby like seriously? Hanty please don't make me laugh...

As for the bath set, yes there are bath set for as low as 4k but I went for this one cos I found it more durable and it's my choice. I don't plan on having just one child by God's grace, will use it for all my children.

All what I got are my choices and preferences people's choices differ and if God provide by his grace we all want something better!

I didn't want to reply you initially I'm only doing it for the sake of the good mama's here that need clarification! Bye

Below are pics attached including the bath set I got.

There are bath set of 35 thazand like the one below and there are others for 3k depend on your choice.

Sabi Mamas abeg, don't jump and pass!!

Before or whenever I'm not pregnant, I do clean it with spirit when it itches but whenever I am, I clean with cotton wool and olive oil or coconut oil.
Your skin is dry and flaky, it doesn't need alcohol to make it drier. Use natural oils on it. You can do it every single day.


Yes the dirt is normal but not after everyday cleaning, maybe a once in a week cleaning, its dead skin cells, sweats and skin oil.

Back to eating my groundnut

Liftedhands:
It's the same to me o but there seem to be other variants.

Alright, dalu. My greetings to Ekene bobo

Beryl15:

I think it’s dead/ flaky skin that is coming off when you clean it and since the areola is really dark, the flaky skin coming off would be dark/ dirty looking in color.
As other mamas have said, stop the methylated spirit as it will just dry off the skin there and make the flaking worse.

Thanks Mama. I will stop immediately

I will be using coconut oil as baby lotion all through. My neighbour use it and the benefits are so much. So I will have to prepare enough that will last 3 months.

I just got this info from mumsie and it works; she gives coconut water to a new born baby as soon as the baby is born and the baby will never suffer those intestine untwisting issues that usually last for 3 months. She has done this for 3 of her grand kids and even advised a friend to do it, she agreed it works.

I also learnt that some babies grow so fast that they outgrow their cloths in one week. Any solution to this while shopping?

Ok Mama, i understand now. I just hope the spirit and steroid i have been using would not have any negative effect.

BIRTH STORY!!!
Apologies to all mamas that has been expecting to read and enjoy bs from April mamas like me, it’s been easy is the best thing to say. My bs is going to be long because I want it to encourage someone in here that God is still in the business of doing wonders.
After I got married in August 2016,I got pregnant early November and by January 2017, precisely on the 2nd of January, I collapsed and was rushed to the hospital by my mum and elder brother who came visiting for the new year, to cut the long story short, the pregnancy was ectopic and I was rushed to the theater were I lost my left Fallopian tube just like that, after the incident depression set in as hubby had to travel out of the country. Sometime around June, I forced hubby to return so we could try for another baby, my gynea then told me I should come to the hospital to see him specifically if I found out I got pregnant so as to avoid another ectopic that could make me loose my only tube, as God would have it hubby came back and just like that God did it! I fell pregnant and was monitored from the moment I got my bfp, my pregnancy journey was very eventful, I had all day sickness, saliva and every other thing associated with hyperemesis gravinadum, at week 7 there was no fetal heart beat and the was told to wait till week 9, those two weeks were the longest of my entire life but in all I give thanks that at week 9, everything was fine. Around my 34 week anc, I was booked for a pelvimetry scan just to make sure everything is fine, the results showed I had an inadequate pelvis and I was booked for a Csection for 7th of April, on the 6th of April morning I started having contractions and I started timing them and managed it till evening when I couldn’t take the pain again, my hubby took me to the hospital and I was admitted, I managed to contractions till morning with the nurse coming to check my baby’s heartbeat several times and my husband rubbing my back, in the morning of 7th, I was prepared and taken into the theater and delivered of a beautiful king!. This is for any mama out there, God’s say concerning your having a child/children is final no matter the medical report or your medical situation, one Fallopian tube or non, God will settle you! Yes you!.

My love to every mama in here, May this love never diminish. Hope to come and register soon.
