Lol welcome mama
1. Do you burp him after ever feed? Your flow may be really fast, he will adjust with time, just feed him before he gets to hungry and take breaks to burp him
2. If you want to do exclusive you may need to find another creche. Otherwise improvise with an insulated bag and an ice pack or 2
3. Leave it, I generally don't like to use stuff for baby skin but you can try baby tribotan
4. Most baby soaps don't sting the eyes. I used Aveeno
5. Formula - SMA Gold, Nan, Enfamil, Aptamil are various brands, find what your baby (and your pocket) will tolerate. If you're going formula route start now, so you can get your baby to accept and adjust before he starts creche

Good morning mummies and daddies in the house... It's good to be here. Pls I have some questions.
My baby is 7 weeks tmr and he keeps food in his mouth... Regurgitates up to 4 times after a meal... Chokes on breastmilk when sucking... Don't know what to do to stop the regurgitation.
2. He will resume crèche in January. He will be 2 months plus... How can I preserve breastmilk he can be taking since I read somewhere that optimum time for breastmilk to be OK is 6hrs without fridge. The crèche doesn't have a fridge.
3. My baby has some yellow small dots on his face n I think it's from breastmilk spraying allover his face when I'm trying to remove d breast from his mouth to prevent choking... Now it's refusing to go. What can I use?
4. What's soap can I use for his face that won't pepper his eyes?
5. I want to do exclusive if my breast can produce 3 bottles of 150 mls... Else what can I introduce?
Thank u all as I await your responses.. JJC I is....

Oh Thank you so much.

An official in one of the Lg marriage registry in Lagos said there's a fine but was not willing to disclose the amount. I was told they also give returns to their ogas at the top.

From what i could deduce, the so called 'fine' is not official so you just need to negotiate with the officer so you can submit.

cheers. Journey mercies when you travel.

If your church is licensed to conduct a wedding then what you were given in church is the marriage certificate. 2 copies must have been issued so you need to submit one of the copies to the lg registry where you initially registered. Nothing will be issued again.

If your church isn't licensed, then it is the registry that will issue you a certificate which must have been done prior to church wedding in most cases.

I wedded in an Anglican church too and the procedure was
-Registering in the lg registry
-After 21 days, a marriage license was issued which was taken to the church
-Wedding conducted
-A copy of certificate was returned to the registry for filing.

Nothing more.

I am guessing the woman just wanted money for pepsi and fanta.
I'll try and help you find out tomorrow if there's a fine for a case like yours.

Cheers.
I did church wedding in AG in Sept last year,but i want to get the court cert, please how do i go about this?
Re: NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! by ZaraOli: 5:43pm On Dec 13, 2018
I don't think breastmilk can stay fresh 6hours under Nigeria's weather. It has to be 25degrees centigrade. However, you can get a breast pump and start building your supplies from now and if possible pump some while at work. You can store them in storage bags for breastmilk. An insulated bag and some ice packs will also help. You freeze the ice packs in the freezer and put in the insulated bags with breastmilk in bottles or storage bags. This should last for 5-6hours depending on the weather. I would consider looking for a creche that has a fridge/freezer.

If your church is licensed to conduct a wedding then the certificate given to you suffices. You don't need another Court certificate. AG is Assemblies of God abi

So that we first timers can share from ur experiences

1) There are different brands out there... Ur pocket should d determine which u can go for. Manuals r not as costly as electric. Also single electric is cheaper tha double electric.

2) I don't preserve for more than 3hours if a fridge isn't readily available.

3) I didn't express breastmilk for creche

4) creche was 10mins from work, so I breastfeed immediately I drop her off and d then went twice during work hours at 3hours interval...
When I'm away and she gets hungry, they gave her Formula. I didn't do EBF.

Ice may not work as there's no stable light here... I'll check for another crèche

You can only have one marriage certificate issued to you.

In addition to what b.arag wrote, confirm from your church if they are licensed but from the look of things, they aren't.

Visit the marriage registry in nearest local govt to you and make enquires about the latest requirement.

cheers.

Same thing i thought of but it's possible they are not and just issued their church's marriage certificate as against the one by the federal rep. of Nigeria.

Im also thinking that if the church is actually licensed, maybe they submit copies of issued certificates on behalf of the wedded couples each month.


In the Anglican church, a pre-requisite is to get the license first before the church will go ahead with the wedding. If you mistakenly collect certificate peken in my diocese, na church blessing dem go do for person.

Good morning able mummies and rugged daddies in the house. I am awake by this time 2 am because I am seeking solution to my babies ailment.
Last week it started with vomiting then moved on to stooping and vomiting. Thank God we didn't loose her. We later rushed to the hospital on Friday, were I.V fluids were administered for days. Vomiting is no longer there, stooling is still there but not so watery anymore but there is this infrequent fever that comes and go.
I ran a test when she was admitted and result came back malaria ++ and she is teething. After some days of treatment i did another test, malaria not significantly seen. But there is the fever and not so strong stool. In my eyes she looks weak, and no longer cries her lungs out like before.
I must add that I tried local treatment just for 24hrs before reverting back to Orthodox and am not willing to go that route again.
Please help my baby.
(she is 7 months old)

Starting with your last question, I guess they exist but you hardly see them happen to kids of enlightened/well-to-do parents which makes me believe that they are caused by malnutrition and inadequate medical care. If they begin to actually arrest the parents that have lost their babies through this nonsense...well they can't, cuz the prisons cannot contain them.

Glad you finally took her to the hospital. You didn't mention if they also ran tests for infection, I'm guessing they must have since she was stooling and vommiting. If they didn't, you should take her back and ask for it. She got too sick before you started treatment so your post sounds like she's on the journey to recovery. Might take her a few days to get back to her normal self cuz she's been sick a long time.

Thank you for replying. We did a full blood count, widal and malaria tests.
Malnutrition? Honestly I don't understand. She feeds very well before this episode. When the vomiting and stooling started, we. commenced treatment but not in the hospital, but through a health professional though she is not a paediatrician. (Guess that is mistake number 1). Then mistake number 2 is looking towards the traditional medicine. Why we even contemplated that was because the older brother had an experience when he was little and the traditional medicine option helped him. So we thought it might do the same for the little sister.
The nurses said the same thing about her being on the way to recovery, but I still feel she looks a weak. Though she has started feeding well. I noticed she has cough which the hospital has already commenced treatment.
Should I just wait it out, or is there something we could do about her weakness?
