What they mean
Going through a court case can be quite taxing emotionally and even financially. The jargon that crisscrosses your ears doesn’t make the situation better. It would help if you got to understand the legal vocabulary in the process of your legal actions, as it would in one way or another help make communication faster. We…
Invest in your child’s mind
It is never too early to introduce your baby into the world of books I loved exams when I was in school. The challenge of sitting for an exam drew huge amounts of adrenalin in me, but only when I was ready to tackle a particular paper. If otherwise, I would look at the most…
Why does my baby have nappy rash
Your baby’s skin is very delicate, especially in the first few months after birth. The skin is likely to be irritated by some things such as washing detergent, bathing soap, certain types of fabric, jelly, etc. The baby should be changed as often as she soils her nappies. If after birth your baby does not…
Let him do what he loves-and he’ll fly
I am reminded of the internationally acclaimed musician and the Ambassador of Hope for Burundi – his country of origin, Jean Pierre Nimbona, aka Kidum. He started singing at a tender age of 10.

To date it remains the only available vaccination against TB. It is given to infants to help prevent the more serious forms of TB. The BCG Tuberculosis…
Just before the pretty teeth show
Baby’s teeth are important and though they may cause anxiety while showing up, teeth help in allowing proper growth of the jaw and in eating. Therefore proper care needs to be taken. Rebecca Njoki discusses teething in babies. The emergence of the first teeth in babies may be a frustrating time for the child and…
Fire! When they smell the smoke
‘Fire! Fire!’- Two words that can turn a peaceful event into complete pandemonium. As much as all fire notices read, ‘In the event of a fire, don’t panic,’ this advice would readily fly out the window, if the dreaded situation occurs. Just talking about fire is enough to give one the chills, but you can…
Milky no-no
We usually want to breastfeed our babies exclusively for at least six months now that breast milk is considered the best food for your infant. However, this has proved almost impossible for a number of reasons like health concerns, mothers having to go back to work their three months maternity leave or simply the breast…
