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.

Tips for a stress-free night with your child

Your 6-year-old might have started attending school and his daily timetable will seem a lot more packed than ever. In addition to school, time also needs to be set aside for homework, play, and family. In addition, children around that age require 10 to 12 hours of sleep, making it hard to find the time to do everything necessary.

But with some planning, you can maximise your child’s time and even instil some good habits along the way.

Don’t budge on bedtimes : Even if your child kicks up a fuss and insists he’s not sleepy yet, you have to stay firm and enforce a pre-arranged bedtime. This not only ensures he gets enough rest to perform at his optimum at school the next day, but also teaches him discipline.

Allocate some downtime : After a full day at school, kids need some time to unwind before bedtime. This could take the form of reading together with you, a short heart-to-heart talk, or even some soothing music being played.

Pack the night before : Instead of rushing in the mornings, try packing as much as you can the night before. From his schoolbag to a lunch ready to be taken out of the fridge, allocating a bit of time the night before ensures a smooth start the next day.

Your independent 6-year-old

Your 6-year-old is now old enough to handle basic chores and tasks. In fact, don’t be surprised if he asks you for something to do as he explores his newfound independence.

As your child starts to be more independent and doing things on his own, it’s important for you to guide and supervise him. This means teaching him about what’s right and wrong, and how to do things properly.

Children no longer have to be in the living room to watch their television shows. With phones and tablets being so readily available, it’s easier than ever for a child to satiate his screen appetite anywhere.
