Milestones at month 11 – bear with his separation anxiety, he will survive
As a parent, you are more excited than your baby as he approaches his first birthday. Of course the importance of the date at that age, while a big deal for you, is lost on the child. As you plan your baby’s birthday bash, a rush of apprehension hits you as you are not sure…
THUD! Baby’s BIG Fall
Thud! baby’s big fall ‘OH my God! Is that my baby?’ shouts mummy as she abandons utensils in the kitchen and dashes to the sitting room. There was such a thud in the sitting room that her heart skipped a beat and she braces for the worst. There is a ‘bit of silence, then a…
Be courageous when faced with danger
A man was walking down a dimly lit street one evening when he heard muffled screams coming from behind a clump of bushes. Alarmed by this, he slowed down to listen, and panicked when he realised that what he was hearing were the unmistakable sounds of a struggle; heavy grunting, frantic scuffling, and tearing of fabric.

A to Z about breastfeeding

My baby’s medicine overdose — she drank a bottle of bronchial syrup!
My baby’s medicine overdose — a brush with death, because I was “careless” for once, only once… I tucked in our nine month-old daughter under the warm blanket. Medicine overdose was no where near my mind. I had just administered some medicine to our two year-old son who slept in the same bedroom. He was…
Vaccination. The best gift to your child
Unless you are a parent or a newborn, your knowledge of immunization is likely to be very scant. I dare say many parents walk into motherhood without a clue of which injection comes first and why. Yet we all have tell tale signs on parts of our bodies, especially near the elbow and on our shoulders, that suggest we were…
