How Best To Breastfeed Your Baby

London, 7th September /PRNewswire/ — Bounty, the UK's favourite parenting club, today launches a 4 minute 'How to Breastfeed' online video clip to help expectant and new mums take a real life, close up peek at how a baby 'latches on' to the breast when feeding.



Breastfeeding is the healthiest and most natural way to feed a baby, yet research by www.bounty.com has found that mums' intentions to breastfeed before the birth versus the reality when the baby is born are very different: During pregnancy one-in-two mums (49%) said they intended to only breastfeed, but in reality the actual number that solely breastfed dropped by half (to 25%).



Before the birth of their baby, nearly three-quarters (73%) of women admitted to never being close enough in real life to a friend or family member to see how a baby 'latches on' to the breast, yet this is probably the simplest way for mums to learn the technique instead of following diagrams in leaflets, advice in books and mimicking with dolls and teddies in ante-natal classes.

Bounty Parenting Spokesperson, Faye Mingo said; "Whilst there is lots of breastfeeding advice offered to new and expectant mums, some cannot access the information and support they need at exactly the right time. This video clip is not designed to replace health professional support, but simply acts as a useful refresher to help remind new mums of the 'latching on' technique through looking, learning and listening at anytime of day or night.

Jennifer Hudson Identified Nephew's Body

Chicago, IL) Hudson's nephew was found murdered today ending a frantic 3-day search. It was a crushing blow after her mother and brother were found murdered Friday and Jennifer Hudson has the grim task of identifying the bodies. CBS 2's Dana Kozlov reports.

When Words Fail Me

Jennifer Hudson

I have been in a state of shock and unbelief since the heart-rending news of the horrifying and terrifying murders of the beloved mother and brother of Jennifer Hudson left me numb on October 24, 2008. Her mother, Darnell Donerson, 57, and her brother, Jason, 29, were shot dead at noon inside Donerson's home in Chicago. The AMBER Alert for her missing 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, has been running since her sister Julia reported it.

This gruesome crime has gripped many millions of Americans and such horrible and terrible crimes make me stay far away from America. Only God can comfort the bereaved families.

Behind Every Successful Man, There Are Women Lurking in the Wings To Feast Where They Never Sowed

A Real Woman Will Be There With You Come Rain or Shine.

The one and only woman who was behind me was my mother. But since she died on May 26, 1993, there has been no other woman or women behind me, except the fair weather women who have not contributed to my progress or success. Only God has been and is still the only one behind my success.

I have had several women in my life and I often humbled myself to humour them to bring out the best in them, but their greatest achievement is to marry and raise a family to increase the population of the most populous country in Africa without any plan to secure their future.
They have no legacy.

I was in Lagos two weeks ago, and I was surrounded by many younger and older women with all their airs and graces, yet they were still promiscuous and vacuous.
They were chatty, but empty.
They were happier to be seen more as sex objects than anything else. They were quite amusing!
I could not even have any intellectual discussion with anyone of them and one of them has LL.B and LL.M and was all lovey-dovey, but my human capital development project was like rocket science to her. She would rather see us date and mate. Finis. I had to consult another attorney who was a total stranger and he was more rational in our discussions. Imagine a man who was meeting me for the first time making more reasonable intellectual contribution to my professional interests than a girlfriend I have known for over 17 years! We sat down to discuss business plans and books and it was very beneficial. We discussed the content of my new book and his own books. But all the Princess of the Nigerian Bar could say on my book was if there would be a book launching event so that she could use the occasion to dress to impress the society. I did not go back to see her and I have not even bothered to call her since I left Lagos. I changed my mind about taking her to the Ocean View on Victoria Island and gave the N20, 000 (twenty-thousand naira) to a good friend in need and sent another N20, 000 to a young female blogger who needed the money urgently.

I was very busy at work and making great progress, but I had more understanding with the Nigerian men who sat with me to discuss the future of the Nigerian news media online, the incorporation of my Nigerian Times International, my next books on Barack Obama and Nigeria, the publication of Hope Opara's Supple magazine and the political challenges of nation building.

The female editor I paid well to edit my book failed to even correct ordinary typos and ended up weeping and lamenting that she had no man to provide for her and that I had no right to order her to sit down and edit my book!

The others would rather get laid than read!

They want to have fun and good time, but they do not want to work hard with you to achieve success.


Most women want to reap where they never sowed.

Is it not pathetic or even tragic to have a woman who has no intellectual capacity to comprehend the importance and significance of the nation building of a New Nigeria and she only cares about sharing your money and having sex for her selfish gratification?

They think relationship is a game of wits on how to eat your cake and have it back.
Do they amaze me?
No.
They amuse me as very funny creatures.

Most women are more like hawks lurking in the wings waiting for you to bring the bacon home for them to feast without even knowing how much you have laboured to bring the bacon home.

They seem to be ignorant of the fact that there is a season for sowing and if you do not join hands in sowing, you cannot join in reaping the harvest or join in the feast.

Behind every successful man, there is the will to succeed.
To God be all the glory for my success.

For Mama Africa and Mama America

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers on earth.

I remember my beloved mother, Mrs. Gladys Unuamaigheuwa Eke of blessed memory, who lived, worked and died for the survival and welfare of her children. She was one of the greatest mothers of all time and I would not wish for another mother for a million generations.
I dedicate the classic reggare song Mama Africa to the evergreen memory of my sweet mother.

You can click on the image of the album of Mama Africa or the link below to listen to the song.

Listen to samples

Mama Africa is the greatest mother on earth.

She wakes up early everyday to care for her beloved children.
She is never tired of bearing the heavy burden of motherhood.

She is the African mother who is the first to wake up early in the morning even before the sunrise.
She is already cooking breakfast for her children before they rise up.
She is already fetching water for drinking, bathing and washing.
Then she is ready to leave for the farm or the market.
She comes back home in the evening and makes dinner for her family.

She is the virtuous woman.



What of the African mother who has to breastfeed two babies daily.

Ah ah! Mama Africa!
Mother of the earth
Burden bearer of humankind.
You will always be on my mind.





What of Mama America.
The African American mother who is homeless and looking for shelter in the stormy weather in New Orleans.
Ah ah Mama America!
I see your teardrops
But only God knows your pains.

I say a prayer for you Mama.
A prayer from my heart.
A prayer of my love for you Mama.

May God bless you and comfort you Mama.

The Strength of Single Mothers Shines Through History

The Strength of Single Mothers Shines Through History

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 4 /PRNewswire/ -- There is no job more satisfying, demanding, and redeeming than that of mother. Life presents all types of mothers who may differ by circumstance, but ultimately share a collective goal: to provide the best life possible for their children.

History is peppered with stories of women who have persevered for the sake of their families, not for fanfare. What many do not know is that every day remarkable women take on the challenges of life alone -- raising their children and making history -- as single mothers.


"If you are a single mother, you're not alone," says author Janine Turner. "History provides the warmth and comfort of women who have done it successfully before you."


Turner is perhaps best known as an accomplished actress who has starred in hit television series, such as "Northern Exposure" and "Strong Medicine," as well as box-office and television movies.


Turner is also a director, singer, and now an author. Her book Holding Her Head High: 12 Single Mothers Who Championed Their Children and Changed History (Thomas Nelson Publishers), chronicles the lives of 12 women in history and brings to light how they advocated for their children to make a difference.


Take, for example, Abigail Adams, whose husband John became the second U.S. president. She helped change the course of history by helping to birth democracy with her valiant wartime single motherhood during the American Revolution. Adams had to clothe, feed, educate and nurture her children as she managed the family farm and her husband's business.


Adams endured bitter winters and wartime fears and famine. Her devotion helped shape the character of her son -- John Quincy -- who would go on to further the family's political legacy by becoming the sixth U.S. president.


Turner, herself a single mother, pored through thousands of historical documents to bring alive the stories of women she says not only provided strength and inspiration, but changed the course of history as well.


Stories span generations and pinpoint women from the Roman Empire, such as Christian pioneer and saint Helena Augusta, to medieval times when Christine de Pizan became the first female professional writer. She may have been the antecedent, of sorts, for Elizabeth Timothy, the first female editor in colonial America.


"These women turned tribulations into triumphs, championed their children and changed history," offers Turner. "I find their voices to be amazingly modern, no matter the era."
