"Exclusive breastfeeding" means nothing to our premise.

" Top 5" also doesn't disprove my point.


How many women OVERALL breastfeed and HOW LONG are they doing this for?

Here is a study proving my point. Now shut up and be gone.

Our premise?

We have a premise?

You don't know what premise means?

I gave you facts with evidence, is this all you can say?

Just shut up and be gone, you have nothing else to say. I've backed up my point with facts

Talking from experience, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your baby. It will heal up on its on. Healing time differs in children. If you like, go do pass yourself.
Exactly. It's nothing serious really.

You're probably doing exclusive breastfeeding for the baby, this is a sign of dehydration. The baby not having enough water.. just give him enough water, it'll bulge out. Thank you
There is no scientific basis for this
Neonates will be fine on exclusive breastfeeding and do not need water

That's not the point. You only accept things that are written when it suits you.

You cannot discuss with someone for 10 minutes and know what the person accepts or does not accept.

Thanks so much
you can also apply Silverbird Eucalyptus Oil mixed with Vaseline and rub on the opening on the skull. You will feel the opening when you touch his head. Don’t apply it on the sunken fontanelle. Cover his head with baby cap. He will be fine

Sign of dehydration. Please give him water to drink everyday. Avoid giving him strong antibiotics to avoid stories that touches the heart. I am talking from experience.

I doubt you're a doctor...
Because no doctor ((unless the quark ones)) would prescribe an antibiotics without test...

And besides, you want to give "strong antibiotics" to a 2weeks old child just like that

OP PLEASE DONT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE O
Children usually have a depression like that on their head ((it appears to beat like a heart if you look at it)), buh it's usually not that deep ((the ones I've seen)), so please take that child to a hospital and clearify things...

What are the statistics on the continent overall?

Only 3 African countries topped the table and 1 European country came at the bottom. And so?

What are the breastfeeding stats on the continent overall vs Europe? Do you know how averages work?

I made no points on the rates of breastfeeding in countries. My comment was a dot. I just called your attention to a particular sentence, so you could do more research before tabling an opinion with so much certainty.

I neither agree nor disagree and that was why I put a DOT

No I am not a hypocrite. I am very vocal about what I agree or disagree with. And when I'm in the middle, I put a dot
We digress on the issue of hypocrisy - lets stick to our fontanelle and breastfeeding discussion.

Could you put up your reference showing that Africans do not breastfeed their babies enough?

That's for you to find out before making claims about Africans not breastfeeding enough. You may be right or wrong but you need to be sure of the claims that you make

Now you want to sit on a fence grin

Don't be cowardly and backpeddle, stand your ground.

You pasted an article to me and gave link to an article, so you are indirectly making a point by doing that.

I'm calling you a hypocrite because you called caucasian papers flawed but sent me the same Caucasian papers when it favoured you.

Just be gone abeg.
