There is no greater injustice than starting on the wrong foot. I am most saddened when babies are introduced to the world and, before their lives begin, have predetermined conditions that will shape them for the rest of their lives. Starting life behind one’s peers is fundamentally unjust, whether due to a mental or physical disorder. At birth, babies affected by genetic defects are set back; basic tasks that other humans take for granted, such as walking and talking, are difficult or…

For new moms, this is important information they would consider to be aware of because they still do not fully understand and know which is better. Many new moms have been judged for not understanding the pros and cons of breastfeeding and bottle feeding. There is no wrong or right answer to this question. It all depends on the mother and how she feels and thinks will be healthier for…

was the best place to raise a baby. I decided this for many reasons, one of the main reasons is that the united has the smallest infant mortality rate. In Nigeria 7.21 percent of babies die at birth in Japan .55 percent of babies die in the United States .48 percent of babies die and in Mongolia 2.8 percent of babies die. The reason the United States has the smallest infant mortality rate has a lot to do with training of doctors and technology. The way mothers prepare for birth is interesting…

Breastfeeding has become more popular throughout the years. I will address this issue because many women get judged over feeding their infant in public.There are so many other problems in the world that go far beyond this issue.
