Breast milk is best for your baby

Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for healthy growth and development of babies. Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is the optimal way of feeding infants. Thereafter infants should receive complementary foods with continued breastfeeding up to two years or beyond. Good maternal nutrition helps sustain an adequate supply and quality of breast milk. Unnecessary introduction of bottle feeding, partially or fully, or of other complementary foods and drinks may have a negative impact on breastfeeding, which may be irreversible. Consult your doctor and consider the social and financial implications before deciding to use breast milk substitutes or if you have difficulty breastfeeding. Follow usage, preparation and storage instructions of breast milk substitutes or of other complementary foods and drinks carefully as improper or unnecessary use may pose a health hazard.

Raising a Smarter Toddler

A child’s brain undergoes three major phases of development. The first is brain weight gain which is then followed by the brain cell division phase where the cells divide and multiply rapidly. The third phase is myelination, where a fatty layer insulates the neurons, enabling faster transmission of information and complex brain processes.

Suffice to say, these formative years are critical for your child’s brain development. By providing a good environment to support maximum brain growth and stimulation for learning, you can help your child maximise her potential.

Here are some general tips:

Nourish her brain: Brain growth requires fuel, and that fuel is nutrition. Be sure to provide a balanced diet that contains DHA and other essential nutrients that help assist brain development.
Develop a close relationship: Show your affection at every chance you get. Growing up in a safe and loving environment helps her learn faster and better.
Discipline her when needed : Loving her doesn’t mean spoiling her. By establishing boundaries of behaviour you can help your child focus on what is permissible and beneficial for her. Keeping a regular routine also helps her focus and develop time management skills.
Learn with her: Ask about her day. Read stories with her. Sing together. When you are a partner in her learning process, she is more likely to enjoy and excel at it.
Let her explore: Watch over her, but allow her to explore where it is safe. Having her on a short leash can stifle her desire and ability to learn.
Understand your child is unique: Resist the urge to compare her with her peers and accept that she needs to grow at her own pace. Adapting to her preferred learning style will usually produce the best results.

How to Get Your Toddler to Listen

Toddlers, like adults, dont always listen. But unlike adults, they actually rely on you to teach them how to pay attention.

Most toddlers will be willing to sit down and eat at a table for a few minutes at a time.

Confidence is a very important aspect of child development. With confidence, it is easier for your child to accomplish tasks.
