Has it been 1 year?
You are probably wondering where the time went. It seems just like yesterday when you brought your baby back from hospital. Baby slept, fed and slept again, depending on you 100 per cent. A year down the road and baby is a human being, certainly not independent, but can do quite a few things or…
Developing an Albert Einstein
It came as a shock to me to find out that, when I reached my early twenties, the brain cells that I had refused to use in mathematics and similar figures-laden science subjects, shriveled up and died. No more growth for me in that direction, as opposed to baby, who has a lot of growing…
Baby’s first teeth
Do’s and don’ts Physician and philosopher Hippocrates of Cos said teething infants, especially the first tooth, experience symptoms like fever, diarrhoea and itching of gums.

Dr. Livingstone Wanyama, a dentist at Aga Khan University Hospital, told Rebecca Njoki that should not be the case. He went ahead and answered common oral/dental questions that stream into Baby Love. When exactly should the oral…
HEALTH COVER- Don’t get caught unawares
Babies tend to get sick during odd times when you have as little as a hundred shillings in your pocket or when you have absolutely nothing. It can be an uphill task for a parent whose baby has fallen sick, at a time when there are no finances, to meet the medication costs or even…
Weaning your baby -The right way
It is recommended that a baby exclusively breastfeeds for the first six months of his life. After that, or even earlier, alternative foods are introduced to his diet, a process called weaning. Weaning is best started from end of 3 months to 6 months depending on maternal, infant, socio economic and cultural factors. Until then,…
