4000 Babies Are Born Dead In The UK Every Year

27 is the age you start to get old according to research by the University of Virginia.

The UK has one of the worst stillbirth rates in the developed world.
Some 4000 babies are born dead every year – 11 children a day – putting the country 33rd in a league of 35.
Stillbirth is linked to older pregnancies, obesity and smoking, but a third are completely unexplained.
Globally, 2.6 million babies are born stillborn every year – more than aids and malaria deaths combined.

Babies Born Today May Live To Be 100

New figures show that every 24 hours, the average life expectancy for newborns in Britain increases by six hours.
That means babies born four days from now will live on average for a full day longer than babies born today.
This increase in life expectancy has been remarkably consistent ever since 1800 when the average lifespan was just 40.
Every century has added a full 20 years to life expectancy, which means by the end of this century the average lifespan in Britain will be 100.

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves

Sick, evil paedophiles abuse (and murder) babies and children.
If caught, they spend a few years in prison and then let out to do the same again.
Children from the age of 5 are diagnosed with ‘ADHD’ – an illness invented in the 1980s by American drug companies – and then prescribed class B psychotic drugs, with horrific side effects, to cure their ‘hyperactivity’ and ‘lack of attention’.
Promiscuous, irresponsible, selfish women murder their unborn babies – depriving an innocent human being of a whole lifetime.
Animals don’t treat their babies, children and unborn like we do.
God must be ashamed of us.
We should be ashamed of ourselves.

There Is No Need To Wash Your Baby

In the first year of his life a baby will probably triple his weight, increase his length by half, double the size of his brain and create every nerve cell he will ever have.

Newborn babies do not have any established colonies of bacteria living on their skin.
These begin to grow within the first few hours.
As they have contact with other family members, good bacteria are transferred to their skin.
For this reason, its important that babies aren’t washed too often.
Exposing babies to bacteria early helps their immune system develop and reduces the risk of asthma, eczema and allergies.
Parents are advised not to wash their newborns with soap or use medicated wipes or lotions for the first six weeks.
Gentle bathing in plain water is fine.
But there is no need to wash your baby.

Hard Up? Then Get All Your Baby’s Stuff From Charity Shops

Tory MP Andrea Leadsom has told hard-up mums to buy baby goods from charity shops.
She said no one needed new cots, infant car seats or prams.
She said there is a surplus of those items in charity shops.
But studies have shown sleeping on another child’s mattress has been linked with cot death.
And safety experts warn against buying second-hand car seats in case they are faulty.
The Tories want families to rely on charity hand-outs rather than trusting mums to do what’s best.
The comment comes after Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said children of the poor did not need new clothes and should wear hand-me-downs.
The government has axed the £500 maternity grant designed to help mums buy clothes and equipment needed for a new baby.
The link between cot death and a second-hand mattress previously used by another child was made in a study by the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow.
Of the 131 cot deaths looked at, half the babies had slept on used mattresses – which contain urine or vomit leading to bacteria growth.
These filthy rich Tory prats don’t give a damn about ordinary people.

Babies Abandoned In South Africa

Outside the Berea Baptist Mission Church, in one of the most crime-ridden streets in downtown Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city, there’s a ‘baby bin’.
A bit like a clothing recycling bin on a UK high street, it consists of a hatch in the church wall, covered by a metal flap labelled ‘Door of Hope’, where desperate mothers can come, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to leave tiny children they haven’t the money, health or support to care for.
Sixteen babies are routinely dumped in the box behind the flap every month (about the same number that are abandoned in the UK in a whole year).
The baby bin was installed in 1999 by the church’s pastor Cheryl Allen, after she realised that newborns were being left by their mothers to die in toilets, rubbish bins, in fields and out in the bush.
It is estimated that 50 children are dumped each month in Johannesburg alone, and there are even cases of babies in refuse bags being tossed on to highways, to be run over by cars.
The Johannesburg baby bin was created as a way for women to at least abandon their children as safely as possible.

Three babies are dumped every 48 hours in KwaZulu-Natal province, where Durban is the largest city.
Shepherd’s Keep Orphanage does not have a baby bin, but its staff work closely with the Durban police, who bring them abandoned babies found in the area.
Lots of babies, found in toilets and in plastic bags, are botched abortions.
Despicable people are advertising abortions for women who are as much as seven months pregnant.
A mother takes a pill to induce early labour and thinks that she has aborted her foetus, but she hasn’t – she has given birth to a living, breathing baby, tied it up in a plastic bag and left it for dead.
Others are clearly left in the hope that someone will find and care for them – near a church or hospital, with their belongings neatly packed.

South Africa is home to the highest number of people living with HIV in the world, and half the population is below the poverty line.
The combination of these two factors makes the abandonment of newborns by their mothers a horrifying common occurrence.
And it is predicted that the number of abandoned children will rise drastically nine months after the football world cup.
Many of them will be born to prostitutes who are unable to support them.

Sleeping Parents Can Kill Their Baby

At least 25 babies have died sleeping with an adult on a sofa in the past two years in the UK.
Previous studies showed sofa-sharing increased an infant’s risk of dying suddenly by 50-fold.
But parents still doze off on them with tots.
Cot death charity, The Foundation For The Study Of Infant Deaths, who collated the data, said it showed adults were ignoring warnings.
Infants still sleep in risky environments.

Pregnant Over 40s On The Increase

The number of mums over 40 has trebled in the last two decades.
New data shows 26,976 women aged 40 or over had babies in 2009 compared with 9,336 in 1989 and 14,252 in 1999.
Among mothers aged 35 to 39 there were 114,288 births in 2009, up 41% on 1999.
It means the average age of a first-time mum has gone up to 29.4 compared to 29.3 in 2008 and 28.4 in 1999.
The proportion of births to mothers born outside the UK continued to go up, from 24.1% in 2008 to 24.7% in 2009.
It has risen every year since 1990 when it was 12%.
Overall, figures for live births in England and Wales showed a 0.3% drop.

Teach Your Baby To Swim

Teaching babies to swim at a few months old helps their balance and coordination in later years, a study revealed.
Five-year-olds who were given swimming lessons as infants were tested alongside non-swimmers across a variety of exercises.
Study leader Hermundur Sigmundsson, from NTNU, found the swimmers ‘best’ at balancing and catching.

Healthy babies who put on weight rapidly in their first year are at greater risk of obesity as adults, scientists believe.

Stillborn Babies

Women who get pregnant with IVF are four times more likely to have a stillborn baby than those who conceive naturally, scientists claim.
A study also found the ICSI technique, where sperm is injected straight into the egg, carries a higher risk of babies dying in the womb.
The reasons are not clear, but researchers in Denmark, fear the treatment itself may cause the deaths.
