Do you remember these two darling baby girls that I wrote about back in April? Their mother had been coming to the clinic for her prenatal check-ups and on her last visit, I told her that I thought that she may be carrying twins. Sure enough, she was, and little Docassa and Luta (Dorcas & Ruth) were born two months premature. They had a rough start and at one point, I prayed over little Luta because she was fighting so hard to live and it seemed that she was failing. However, God answered prayer, and she began to put on weight just like her sister.
Well just the other day, I stopped to take the healthy little girls' picture...they are 7 months old now and as active as any little babies of that age should be. Both of the girls were nursed only, until their 6th month, and then they began to give them the cereal mix, Misola, which we show the moms how to prepare. Misola is a combination of grains, beans and nuts which ensure that the babies receive a full complement of vitamins and minerals. We show the moms how to make the cereal with the ingredients locally available. Babies on this diet of breast milk and Misola will avoid malnutrition, which is so prevalent in our area.
