Kill me if you want but this photo is so cute!

This is just so cute. This child is innocent. He has no clue of what he is doing. But then again, this child must be hungry or he loves b reast milk very much. The first thing that went through his mind when he saw that was ‘food!’ what was the first thing that went through your mind when you saw that? This reminds me of a verse by Gold city in their song, “What children believe”. Love Lasts forever. Mom and Daddies stay together. The cheaters never win And a promise is something you keep. It’s bad to lie, but it’s ok to cry. Dreams never die And faith is all you need. Ain’t it crazy what children believe? It is indeed very good to think like a child. Thinking of only pure thoughts, not evil.   Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and i...

Benefits of breastfeeding

Image Source: What to expect Most “modern mothers” nowadays have neglected their natural duty of breastfeeding their new born babies. Some do it out of ignorance while others just don’t care. Unknown to them, they not only deny the child’s right to good and pure health but also miss out on natures chance of staying healthy. There is nothing absolutely wrong with breastfeeding. It is only natural for a mother to give her new born baby the breast milk. God designed it that way.  Ironically, these so called “modern mothers” skip this exercise because they want to remain young and hip. Others even go a step further and refuse to give their babies a chance to a healthy start citing that they will lose shape or figure since “their breasts will be saggy”. This is indeed sad. I can only sympathize with those babies. Nursing promotes bonding between mother and baby and creates a lifelong connection between the two. Additionally, it makes the baby feel loved, comforta...

Baby Sleep Safety Tips

Image
Getting a new born baby is a blessing. Most parents are usually overjoyed except for those who did not plan to have the baby at the time the baby arrives. All in all, there is the need to keep baby safe especially when they are sleeping. A new born baby spends most of his/her time sleeping. That is how they grow. It is indeed very sad that infants aged 12 months and below suffer sudden infant death syndrome or accidental suffocation. Below are some tips that you can follow in order to avoid this tragedy. Parents and guardians should practice the ABCs of Sleep: babies are required to sleep Alone, on their Backs in a Crib that is safety approved at all times be it night time or just nap time. Most people are of the idea that a baby should sleep on their tummy. This is quite dangerous as the baby can accidentally suffocate and since they may not be able to turn themselves, they may end up dying. Always ensure that the mattress is firm and well-fitted. You can test it by trying...
