Jitters over high number of stunted babies
For decades, the official policy of Kenyan public health facilities has been to monitor the weight of newborns for at least two years, carefully ticking incremental changes on the baby’s medical record.
But by the end of this year, the government will have introduced a new column on that infant medical record — one that captures another developmental milestone: the baby’s height.
While it might seem odd to focus so intensely on how tall your baby is now, there is an ominous underlying reason. The government’s Department of Family Health made this switch in response to alarming data from the 2008/9 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey, which indicated that nearly a half of all Kenyan babies born in the past five years are ‘stunted.’
That term includes their height and, by extension, their brains, which are deemed under-developed for their ages.

This makes me wonder why we are even here. As a professional blogger, I do tend to come across a good thing from time to time. Chances are good that most of yiou would like to make a little more money, right? The Internet has created thousands of millionaires. Or, did they have something to do with it as well? Also, there are many different methods for making money on the web. Just think, working online means that you don’t have to punch any time clocks! Anyway, so I found this software, quite inexpensive, and it does seem to do the trick. Don’t even worry about price because even by my standards, this thing is dirt cheap right now. Although I do think I read where this is an introductory price that could go up pretty soon. Using the software is as easy as opening up your inbox and writing an email. There is nothing complicated about it and it comes with a complete set of video instructions. You can use the “step-by-step” training videos and instructions to easily setup and profit from the software fast! Then you can get paid ‘month after month’ WITHOUT a product, website or blog! What do you have to lose? Go here to see what I’m talking about: http://adf.ly/1TyC8
