The Little Chefs (Nutrition Month Event)

Sorry for this late post. But indeed, its better to be late than never right?! haha..=)

July is the month celebration for "National Nutrition Month" and every schools celebrated it. Its a good thing  that as early as pre-schoolers are introduced to this kind of  health awareness. The theme for the 2011 Nutrition Month is "Isulong ang BREASTFEEDING – Tama, Sapat, at EKsklusibo". So every schools organized activities in accordance with National Nutrition Month.

Pneumonia on Children

Last week, it was a quite stressful days for me because my two year old daughter started coughing on a Sunday and continued to develop into fever for about 4 days already.

Being a mother of two, I consider myself as a pro and did give her the normal meds for cough but still the fever temperature just won’t go down. Seeing my daughter super weak battling her continuous cough and fever it gives me a feeling of sadness, if I just can take all the pain my daughter is feeling I would take it just to ease her.

So I decided to rush her for a checkup to her pediatrician and as she put her stethoscope on the chest of my daughter, she said “She has Pneumonia”! Hearing a crackling sound upon her chest means that the infection has apparently accumulate in her lungs as I heard that thing, my heart beats so fast as learning that she has acquired pneumonia it’s very scary thing to hear.

Pneumonia is an inflammation or infection of the lungs most commonly caused by a bacteria or virus. Pneumonia can also be caused by inhaling vomit or other foreign substances.

In all cases, the lungs' air sacs fill with pus, mucous, and other liquids and cannot function properly. This means oxygen cannot reach the blood and the cells of the body.

What works for me and my Kiddos Skin!

Beautiful skin is very important to me it gives you the impression that you really take care of yourself that is why I am very fussy of what soap my family is going to use. After trying out so many soaps for me and my babies none of them just worked out. It just leaves our skin dried and flaky that’s why I have been looking for baby soap in the market which will moisturize and take care of my family’s skin.

Just hooked to it by now!

After trying and using this Nivea Baby Tenderly Caring Cream Soap (with natural olive oil and caring calendula) I think, I am hooked to it forever.

Protecting your family from killer dengue!

Its rainy season here in the Philippines and obviously it is wet all over again and so the dengue virus carrier strikes again. This dengue mosquito scientifically named Aedes Aegypti again evolved alongside humans. The mosquito has learned to cohabitate with humans, thriving in man made creations that contain stagnant water such as discarded tires, septic tanks, and neglected flower pots. Once hatched, the mosquitoes take up residence in and around human dwellings, especially in closets and under beds.
