Welcome!



We are really good parents; at least most of us are. I know this for a fact, having been brought up by amazing parents myself. I also know we do our best every day to ensure our little darlings are well taken care of, provided for, and kept safe. 
The world is changing however, and with these changes come a lot of adjustments that need to be made to how we care for our children, different from how and what our parents did.

Childcare in Nigeria comes with its own pack of challenges as we all bear the full responsibility of ensuring our children’s safety. When I mean full responsibility, I mean we barely have enforceable laws that protect our kids from harm. These range from laws on minimum safety standards concerning buildings and road construction, fire safety laws, traffic laws (zebra crossing especially), just to mention a few. So how do we navigate this world of child safety in our dear country and combine providing immediate care for our children to ensuring they are kept from harm’s way?

Welcome to The Baby Analyst blog where
we share ideas on keeping our kids safe in our local environment. We aim to get parents to be more safety-conscious through sharing practical advice on how we deal with these issues in Nigeria, share health tips from our very experienced parents (and new parents of course) and everything else we need to know about how we can best care for our children.

So, hop on board with The Baby Analyst as we begin this very amazing journey of “Everything Kids”. I’m excited already! Woo hoo!

My journey into education and child development

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle." ~ Steve Jobs I am taking a break today from my usual Child Safety to talk a bit about my journey (still in progress) into Education and/or Child Development.  I must confess that this post is long overdue. Please sit back and enjoy reading.  I began year 2019 with a quest to get some knowledge about working with children - be it

Parenting Tip 1 - Let Kids Be Bored

Kids need time to be bored; that is how creativity is born" - Melanie Jean Juneau   Yes, I said it! Let kids be bored! 😁 I look at some children sometimes and see how their lives are filled with a lot of activities. They are almost always engaged and stimulated. And like the Energiser Bunny, they just keep going. Lol.  So now I say to you, it is a-okay for a child to be bored. I started a podcast sometime last year. It just involved recording some audio devotionals for children to listen. Just before I started, a couple of my friends had suggested that I make it a video podcast, and because children love visuals, they would watch and probably engage more with it. I agreed with them, and it's true. Any flashy thing with a sound will pique their interest.  But then I began thinking about how children get exposed to a lot of things that stimulate and potentially distract them. They get  overloaded with sights, sounds, activities, etc that overwhelm their brains.  ...

Thinking about daycare? Tips on what to look out for - Part I

"Safety is more important than convenience" ~ Don Hambidge Preamble When I opened up this post to edit, I saw the 'last saved' date and nearly fell off my chair. I mean I started writing this post over three months ago, and have had it 'nearly completed' for more than a month now.  I cannot even think of where to begin my apologies. I sincerely apologise for the protracted silence. A lot has been happening with me...and this lot is called 'life'. I will try my best not to pull anymore disappearing stunts again.  Now to the The Baby Analyst. I was going to make this a single post, but decided against it because of the length. I'll split it in two  so I don't begin to bore you after my months of hiatus.
