True Love - all a women needs.

TALKING AIDS

The disease itself should be explained as an illness, very much like flu or cancer," advises De Figueiredo.

"The difference is that HIV can be contracted in different ways, and the main driver is sexual activity.

Also explain that HIV can even happen to married people. And they [children] need to understand that it is a disease that many people live with."

According to De Figueiredo, the aim of this exercise is not to frighten your children by stigmatising HIV-positive people and having them believe that only promiscuous people, drug users or homosexuals contract HIV, or that HIV infection is a death sentence.

Be sure to stress how HIV-positive people can live full, long lives, thanks to scientifically proven anti-retroviral medication.

Double the joy?

QUICK TIPS
Magical mammaries

In the first couple of days or so, your baby is drinking colostrum. From about day three, your mature milk comes in and even though it seems diluted, this does not mean that your milk is weak or inadequate. Nip those old wives' tales in the bud right now!
Cups runneth over
Your breasts are effectively bottomless pits. No matter how much milk your baby demands, there'll always be enough to go around. This miraculous supply and demand system is quite simple – the more you nurse, the more milk you'll make. Frequently emptying your breasts of milk – either via baby or pumping – stimulates the body to make more milk. This fact makes mincemeat of the myth that you need to wait for breasts to fill up before feeding again.
Nature's elixir
Mother’s milk is the perfect food. It contains all the necessary nutrients to build a bonny baby and what's more, it comes pre-packaged and at just the right temperature! The World Health Organisation advises exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of your baby's life. Those magical mammaries will help your baby reach his/her IQ potential, protect against illnesses, and promote overall health.
