Drugs that has been a lifesaver to me
parenting
Hello guys, sorry I haven’t been active on my blog. I had to go on my time, u know detox all the negative vibes so I can come back full time.
Today, I will be talking about drugs, supplements that I found very helpful doing my mom days
Being a mom is a very difficult task and my seven months old have been showing signs of teething lately and it’s not a funny thing. The sleepless night, waking up to breastfeed, vomiting, and diarrhea. It’s just a mess but the Lord have been my strength. Amen🤣
There are some baby syrups I’ve found helpful and I want to share with my fellow mom
Multi vitamins
The drops for babies are a whole lifesaver, I get them to my baby every morning. It helps them with their development and bones too and I use it to increase their appetite, u know When a baby is teething they hardly eat something only breastfeeding, and am not the type of person that eats much, so this help me with his feeding.
Rapid relief
This baby mixture also helps me to relieve him, mostly when he is feeling restless. I find this helpful cos each time i give it to him, it calms his whole body down and gives him a good night’s sleep, and also helps with calming his temperature down
Oral drip plus
Like I said this one is a plus cos it contains two things inside. It contains oral drip and zinc. This one helps with the tiredness that comes with teething and also his diarrhea .
Cough syrup
Sometimes, teething comes with many symptoms including cough and catarrh. So, each time I see him with running nose and itching, this is what helps solve that
This one here helps me with his immune system cos when a baby is teething a lot cam go wrong, so I always have this by the side
That is all for now and I hope u guys find this helpful
Please like and comment what helps you doing the teething stage, you never can tell who will find it helpful
What I went through when I found out I was pregnant
lifestyle
Am an adult, with a sweet kind heart, waiting for what the world would offer me. I stayed with my elder sister at that time, and the only thing I did was help her take care of her little children while I go to school. I started being in a serious relationship when I was 19/20
My first attempt did go well, although I was in love with this one, we broke up and went separate ways. Then during my time of healing from my past relationship I met my new boyfriend. Our relationship then was complicated because he made it clear to me that he has a girlfriend, stupidily I fell in love with him. Without realizing it we were already in a relationship. We started from talking to almost talking each day that passes. He showed me lots of love but I always doubted him because of he has a girlfriend
It took us months before we became intimate, we couldn’t have enough of each other till I found out I was pregnant with his baby. I was so scared cos I feel like I’d disappointed my family and myself. I couldn’t find the courage to tell my lover that I was with his child till a day came when I made up my mind to let him know what was happening
When I told him he was sad to cos he was even ready to be married, although he’s up to the age of marriage he isn’t prepared for this new beginning of his life. He gave me two options either I give birth to the child or I abort the baby, but in my tradition, it’s taboo for a lady to abort a child and I thought we would end up together cos he loves me
I couldn’t bear the shame and heartbreak, I made up my mind to also take my own life. When to a lagoon front where I wanted to end everything but was caught by a security man who was on duty that day. He took me to a counseling unit where I received counsel and was also hospitalized cos of the trauma. It was then my family found out what I was going through, even though they were disappointed, they accept me again.
While I was at the hospital I already made up my mind about how to survive with my child as a single mother and how to give my child the support he or she needed. Still grateful for all the talks and counsel I received from people around me, and the support my baby’s father offered. He loves me and I know he did but didn’t want our marriage to be out of pity. I began accepting myself again and was praying to God to make a way for us.
My baby’s father, later on, agreed to not only be a father but a husband to me too. And till today am still grateful, we are so much into each other now that I already have forgotten what I passed through
The reason for the write-up is to be patient, heal, and allow the other person to make up his or her mind, you can’t force a new chapter into someone’s life and there is sunshine after every storm
The skill I picked up to learn as a stay at home mom
lifestyleLearning a new skill is so exciting sometimes, bet you that was how I felt when I made up my mind to learn a new skill. Am a kind of person I feels the world is passing me by if am not updating my personal,financial and religious life
So, I decided to learn a new skill, I began searching for what to learn, and then a friend of mine posted a link to the platform she learned a skill from, meanwhile, I’ve always admired her because she’s a web developer. When I saw the link I took the opportunity and linked the link to a platform called ” side hustle” I went through the list of skills they have and I chose DIGITAL MARKETING.
The major problem I want to emphasize here is that wanting to learn a soil isn’t hard, learning a skill isn’t hard, well, some can be hard but for the most part continuing learning is the hardest part. I mentioned I was excited about picking up a skill to learn, which am still learning now but continuing the process is becoming so boring that I skipped days for a break and to remotivate my self.
So far the process has been amazing, the tutor is so good and explains everything well. And I think the only way u can finish anything you’ve started is occasionally remind yourself why you decided to learn a new skill, and where you see yourself with this new knowledge learning now. So I hope I’ve encouraged anyone in my shoe right now that you are now alone, we got this and we will finish what we started, we are not quitters even though we are moms and we have lots of responsibilities to take care of
I will see u next time with my certificate and a bite from the knowledge I got from this skill acquisition
When is the right time to talk about it “sex education”
parenting
Sex education is the most sensitive topic to bring up in most families, most parents try to teach their children about all aspects of life but shy away from sex talk
Are they shy? Or they don’t have self-esteem?
The other day with my siblings, we were having a normal talk then this question came up ” what is the right age to bring up the issue of sex, to enlighten your children about their sex life.
And my opinion was that sex education should be taught to any child at their puberty stage; when they begin experiencing new body changes and hormonal changes. During the stage of puberty, their breast popping up, hair on their armpit and private area, for boys they begin producing semen.
And we know that all this has a psychological and mental effect on our children and they have lots of questions to ask about their bodies and how they feel. In most cases, girls have increase in their urge for sex during their mensural period, you see where sex education comes in use.
What if these girls aren’t taught about sex education, what will be their fate?
Am urging mothers to come closer to their teenagers during this time and teach them to understand, care and control their feeling during those times. And maybe teach them about sex, contraception, birth controls. And I know this will help in controlling the early childbearing, sexually transmitted infections, emotional trauma and lots more
So I will like to know how you wonderful parents out there how you introduce this topic to your teenagers and how are they coping with their sexual life
Thank you!!
