It's my way of giving to the society. My baby is seven months old now and being a daddy for the very first time has been a wonderful experience.

The emotions were mixed, I was joyous and excited. At the same time I was confused.

Very confused. Why was I confused? Well, I had just been told my lovely wife, the woman I had known since her innocent days, my better half has been delivered of a baby boy. Our very own brand new baby was born on Friday 26th February 2016. It has been a journey of over five years and we had just been gifted a bouncing baby boy by the Almighty.

Few Doctors, Plenty Patients

I really praise our health practitioners. When my wife went to deliver our baby at Somolu General Hospital, I noticed that there was just a single doctor in the labour room.

He has a junior (sort of) but he was the only one attending to over 9 women who were in various stages of delivery.

I actually believe that is inadequate and the government and private individuals can do more to bridge whatever gap that exists in the health sector.

Putting your baby in the car seat may just be dangerous for them. It just so happens that newborn babies may slump forward in the seats while you are not watching and block off their airways which in rare circumstances could kill the child.

Research has shown that babies under two months,  that are left in for half an hour in the seat, have lower amount of oxygen in their blood while their heart rates increased.

It is therefore advisable that an adult sits next to the baby in the seat to make sure the infant is breathing properly.  The Research, carried out by Dr Peter Fleming, of Bristol University, warn: ‘There have been reports of deaths of infants who have been left in a sitting position, including in car seats – both on journeys, and when parents have used it as an alternative to a pushchair or cot for the infant to sleep in.

Yesterday was very unique and new experience for me. I got back from work(my parents place) around 5pm and was welcomed by my cousins and aunt. They have been around since noon and they have had a nice time. He was in a jovial mood (obviously, he had eaten and was well fed) and must have played very hard.

Upon seeing me, he struggled to come over to me. Well, it has become a tradition that he cries for my attention whenever he sees me. This annoys his mum a bit though because she is like “I have been with him since morning but he runs to you anytime he sees you”, but she knows its only natural he loves me.
