I often get asked if your children should be given supplemental vitamins. Parents often worry about a picky eater not getting all the vitamins she should.

Sub-Saharan Africa has experienced exponential economic growth in recent decades. It now boasts a growing middle class, with parents who can afford the best for their children.

Pediatric offices are often very similar. There are scales to weight babies and children, exam room tables to allow doctors to examine their patients and refine their diagnosis, and of course (to the temporary despair of little ones) needles to administer immunizations and perform lab tests.

It starts the moment you realize you are expecting.  It continues during the pregnancy as mothers start feeling the flutter of their babies and wonder what will become.
