When I first saw the thread and all your comments and counter measures and FBI grade kits and test to prevent any eventualities. i wanted to exclaim and ask if you thought you were heading to a War zone. But after seeing those images, i guess most of those are actually caused by allergies and sudden changes in their water and food content. Even adults do have similar issues when they change environments as it takes time for tbe body to acclamatize. One thing you might just note next time you are around is to carefully watch the soap and water they use in bathing and let them always drink bottled water from recognized coys. Those little neasures can go a long way in preventing severe reactions. Edited... 3 Likes |

Welcome back dear Hope you had a good time I wanted to post to add for you to go and see your traditional ruler so the kids can see a real palace but I kept on putting it off and then you are back Its sandfly or some other insect/ant bite or contact with. Hubby and I sleep on the same bed or sit together and I wake up with rashes and he doesn't I am the only one that mosquitoes bite in the car in the afternoon My daughter is the same We joke that we are nicer people hence our blood is sweeter Scientifically, we all emit a scent that some insects like or dont like I guess you and my hubby don't smell nice to the insects Onegai even a flight changes the body mechanisms. My periods go crazy when I fly. The body has to get used to the changes and sometimes it affects children more, hence parents need to make sure that the kids comfort are well planned for. Dont you see Naija people get off a plane at Heathrow in July shivering and wearing 4 cardigans |

onegig: Is Your Child Underweight? Here are 20 Best Natural Foods for a Healthy Weight Gain! Is your child too thin or malnourished? Would you like your little one to have that cute, chubby appearance that everyone loves, but strangely, despite feeding him properly, he doesn’t seem to be gaining weight? Want to know the natural foods to help your baby gain a “healthy” weight? Yes, right? I thought as much! The rate at which many of you have been sending in mails asking for suggestions on best foods for weight gain in babies & toddlers got me working. Don’t worry, I’ve brought you the top 20 weight gaining foods for kids that could help your little one put on some fat on his bones (not to become obese, please!). First you need to find out whether your child is actually underweight or whether you just think he should become “orobo’ and have that “evidence-of-good-living look” every Nigerian woman is proud of Below is a simple and easy to follow guide from the “Textbook of Pediatrics by OP Ghai” that can help you know if your child needs to gain weight or not. I follow this guide religiously and I’m always happy whenever I weigh my daughter at every stage and she is in this range of weight gain for her age bracket. Weight gain according to age · Till 3 months babies gain about 0.18 to 0.21 kg per week. · Doubles the birth weight by age 5 months. · For the remaining 1 year they gain about 0.04kg of weight every month. · Trebles the birth weight by 1 year. · 4 times the birth weight by 2 years. · 5 times the birth weight by 3 years. · 6 times the birth weight by 5 years. · 7 times the birth weight by 7 years. · 10 times the birth weight by 10 years. · On an average a child gains 2 kg every year between 3 to 7 years of age and 3 kg per year after that till pubertal growth spurt begins. A surer way of knowing if your child is underweight Ask your paediatrician to measure your toddler’s height and weight. She can use the measurements to confirm whether your toddler is a healthy weight or not. The doctor will take into account your toddler's previous growth pattern, his weight at birth and his height. She will plot your child's measurements on a growth chart to check that he is growing well over time. If your child is growing along his growth curve, your doctor will probably tell you there is no cause for concern. If your doctor does say that your child is underweight, don’t panic yet because there is no real risk to his health or development, unless there is an underlying illness that is causing him to lose weight. If your doctor notices a change in your child's growth pattern, she might want to investigate further to understand what might be causing it. Your doctor will need to maintain and plot your child's growth chart regularly, so ask how often she needs to see your child for growth check-ups. Common Causes of Underweight and Simple Solutions Most doctors recommend that preschoolers take deworming medicine once a year to prevent a worm infection. A worm infection can lead to loss of weight, if not treated in time. Your child may also lose weight if he's been ill, perhaps from a tummy bug or other illness. Having diarrhoea may mean your toddler doesn't absorb the nutrients he needs into his bloodstream, so he loses weight. If this is the case, your toddler will get back to his normal weight within a couple of weeks of getting better. Other illnesses can lead to weight loss but often they are associated with symptoms that will help the doctor to diagnose and treat the illness. Unexplained, sudden weight loss will need further investigation. Your doctor will check your child's diet as well. Toddlers have small tummies and are really active but their appetite usually meets the needs of the body. You can discuss your toddler’s feeding concerns with your doctor, a professional dietitian or certified child nutritionist. Many mums feel that their child doesn't eat enough. Instead of worrying about the quantity of food your child eats, focus on the quality. Give your child a variety of fruits, vegetables, cereals and good sources of protein and iron. Also ensure he gets between 350 and 400 ml of milk per day. If you give your child a balanced and varied diet, even if he doesn't eat much, he is likely to be getting the nutrients he needs. Toddlers tend to be notoriously fussy eaters so your doctor might prescribe a multivitamin supplement that ensures he gets the nutrients he needs to develop well. Or she might just prescribe an iron supplement if your toddler is vegetarian. Only give supplements if your doctor has advised you to. Supplementing with iron when you don't need to can cause problems. For example, too much iron can interfere with how your toddler's body absorbs other minerals. Excess iron can also cause constipation, which may put your toddler off eating, making the problem worse. You can help your toddler to enjoy food and eat well by encouraging him to feel relaxed at mealtimes. Try not to put pressure on him to eat. It's more likely to put him off than encourage him. Try to create a regular mealtimes and snack times for him. Whenever you can, eat at a table, as a family. Remove any distractions by turning off the television set, putting away phones, video games or tablets. Limit meal times to about 30 minutes and if your child doesn't want to eat any more, remove the food and give it again at the next meal (ensure proper hygiene though). If your child hasn't eaten much at one meal, he will compensate by eating more the next. But don't give him desserts or foods he likes that are low in nutrition just to fill him up if he hasn't eaten much. This will encourage fussiness A good way of keeping a track of the foods your child eats and ensuring he is getting a good variety of foods is to use a meal plan. I will release “An age-by-age meal plan” on this blog soon for you to adopt my style or use it as a guide to create your own.

bebe2: I have seen someone fix it and it looked painful. But that one, they were fixing each lash individually and never allowed the lady to blink. I was in awe that someone could sit through all of that. Her eyes were red and tears were rolling down each one unhindered. That was when i swore never to fix that. Even for my wedding, didn't try it. |
