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.

Minding Your Child’s Manners

When it comes to manners, it’s good to start young. You will find that it really pays off in the long run.

Begin with basic, courteous phrases. While you may be used to terms such as ‘please’ or ‘thank you’, these are very new for your child. Be patient as it may take a while for her to learn them.

Good manners include body language too. Look into her eyes and speak with a polite tone when you ask her to do something for you, and always thank her when she complies.

Always remember that children do as you do, not just do as you say. Your child is always observing your actions and words, even if you aren’t aware of it. To impart good manners, you’ll have to demonstrate it.

Many parents tend to scold their children when they fail to comply. You can prompt her gently when she forgets and give lavish praises when she remembers. Getting upset may cause her to resist learning.

A final point to note is consistency. Once she is used to saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, encourage her to do so with people other than yourself. With constant, positive reinforcement, good manners will be ingrained into her personality.

Playing is Learning

Many child psychologists advocate ‘playing as learning’.

When your child starts her motor skills development, her hand dominance will start to surface. Left-handed people make up less than 10% of the worlds population, and some mothers worry about having a left-handed child in a right-handed world.

As a growing child, your toddler has a wide variety of needs. Besides proper nutrition and mental stimulation, a healthy child needs exercise. Regular exercise keeps your child in the pink of health and regulates his body weight.
