The issue of Faith

Having a baby really allows us to see God as the Creator in a whole new enlightened way.

Last night, at pre-natal class, we learnt about breastfeeding. I thought I’ve read enough about breastfeeding, and already know all its benefits for both Mummy and baby – bonding, stronger immune system, economical, convenient, weight loss for Mummy, etc.

But I didn’t know that if mums breastfed babies in the first half hour of delivery,
- baby will learn feeding skills quicker;
- baby will have less tendency of low blood sugar level
- the mild laxative effect of the colostrum (1st part of mum’s milk) will help baby with his 1st poo (which is blackish and looks like tar ….. yucks!)
- baby’s sucking action will trigger mum’s body to start producing milk, therefore leading to more successful breastfeeding subsequently

Wow!

How did God plan all these while He was creating babies??!! So thoughtful rite?!

At the end of the lesson, Daddy said, “That’s why I say, it takes more faith to believe in the Evolution Theory than to believe in God!”

Hi hi...

I agree with your hubby on the last para. Kekeke... Anyway, I'm sure you'll discover a whole new lot about God, yourself and baby Nadine on this wonderful journey. I'm looking forward to meeting your bundle of joy too!

God bless!
