Baby day is always very intense



rs. Today we were active weighing and controlling the babies. Wanjara and the male nurses Mathew and John did the main job, but the whole crew helped them. The reaction of the babies on the scale is very diverse: some are enjoying it, others are crying. What always amazes me, how helpless some of the Kenyan mothers are. The correct care of the babies is certainly not one of the strong sides of the mothers. Here in the hospital we can be of help but I wonder how they are doing it at home.
