World Cleanup Day unites millions of volunteers, governments and organisations in 191 countries to tackle the global waste problem and build a sustainable world.
During World Cleanup Day 2021, 8.5 million people across 191 countries collected over 43,000 tons of waste.

Wow what a summer! The heat makes us sweat more and our need for fluids increases.
Parents often ask themselves whether breast milk is enough for their baby in the warmer months. Or whether water should be offered from time to time in the heat.
Here is the short answer for all those who are in a hurry: No.
For all of those who want to know more details, please read on.
Why breast milk quenches baby's thirst
You might think, if you only drink milk, you don't get enough water. However, this does not apply to breast milk. Mother Nature has devised an ingenious system to ensure that little human babies survive

Of course, nothing beats breast milk. It is the healthiest food you can give your baby. But what if your milk is not enough to satisfy your baby? Or if your baby doesn't gain weight fast enough after birth? Then supplementary feeding is often advised. For many mamas who would like to breast/chest feed, this feels like a defeat; the fear of never being able to breast/chest feed fully, or not being able to do so again, is high. Let's take a closer look at why this doesn't have to always be the case and how you can offer replacement milk in a breast/chest feeding-friendly way.
The four most common reasons for supplementary feeding

Returning to normal everyday life with school and hobbies after the summer holidays is not easy. The inner alarm clock has to be reset from the sleep-in mode back to getting up early. Especially as your normal family morning routine may have been relaxed during the summer holiday; which is totally okay and normal. After all, who wants to eat their breakfast at seven o'clock in the morning during the holidays if they don't have to?
If a new baby has enriched the family during the summer break, juggling the back to school morning routine could become even more challenging. Not only because your baby may have just fallen asleep after a night of drinking, you also have to do the school run with your toddler. The never ending to-do list is growing and you still want to give your attention to all your children’s needs.
Don’t panic, we are here to help by sharing
