http://ift.tt/eA8V8J THERE are certain ways relief can be brought to a cranky child who is teething. Here are a few tidbits: Teething Rings It would seem that the teething ring is a no-no as some babies who instinctively try to soothe themselves, grab on anything within reach and bite on it. Experts say that biting on hard toys can sometimes damage incoming teeth. Cold compress If you have to use a cold compress on your baby’s gum, then it would be more advisable to store soft plastic teething rings in the fridge as this would bring relief to your baby. Using ice cubes on your baby’s gum could cause more harm than good so avoid ice. Rubbing alcohol on the gum It would seem the aged old wives tale of rubbing alcohol on a teething babies gum is just that. This remedy has ironically been passed down from one generation to another. But despite what grandma may have told you, you are never to rub alcohol on a baby’s gum as it would seem that even a small amount can sedate a child whi...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J By Oluwatobi Alabi STAKEHOLDERS in the education sector have stated that teachers are pivotal in the quest for national growth, just as the Nigerian Breweries unveils the 2017 Maltina Teacher of The Year in Lagos. In a paper delivered in Lagos by Professor Aloy Ejioguto to flag-off this year’s contest, he said that teachers are unarguably invaluable drivers of societal norms, values and growth, adding that no other person can have such overarching influence on the life of the young members of our society as the teacher. According to him, teachers’ impact is not only outstanding by its success stories, but also by its potential and real time errors, noting that whereas the medical doctor buries his mistakes, and the engineer dies with his mistakes, the entire society perishes with the mistakes of the teacher. He said: “Can you ever imagine Nigeria without a pre-primary, primary, secondary and tertiary teacher? Or what more, a Nigeria replete with demotivated, d...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Dear Bunmi, Early this year, my wife found out that I was having an affair with a very close friend of hers and she was completely devastated. This friend of hers was in a financial mess and came to me for help. One thing led to the another and we started having sex. I knew I wouldn’t get the money I lent her back and sex with her was supposed to be some sort of compensation. My wife has completely cut off contact with this woman and although she says she still loves me, she can’t enjoy sex with me any more. Most of the time, she just sees sex as a duty she has to go through. She says she’s deeply hurt that I betrayed her so shamelessly with her friend. I love my wife and have told her that. But she said she couldn’t get over my betraying her to her best friend. Is she over-reaching? Raymond, by e-mail. Dear Raymond, Apart from the fact that you’ve destroyed your wife’s trust emotionally by sleeping with a close friend of hers, she must have been alarmed a...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J DearBunmi, I am a married mother of three and in the 23 years I’ve been married to my husband I’ve never had what you could call an orgasm. Despite having been sexually active for over half of my life, the sex life with my husband has never been ‘electric’. I’ve tried to talk to him in the past about this but he gets defensive. He says he finds nothing wrong with our sex life but I know I need to inject spice into our life without upsetting him. Any ideas? Diana, by e-mail. Dear Diana, To have an orgasm you have to let go of your own inhibitions too. If you can’t feel I00 per cent relaxed, it won’t happen. First, you need to get in touch with your doctor to have your hormone levels checked. Next, you indulge in a good vibrator – several newspapers and magazines carry adds on where to get them. Don’t be ashamed or embarrassed – this is 2017 not 1960! In the comfort of your bedroom, with no one else around, get familiar with your vibrator and let your imagin...
