- Notes
- Irene went to Nabikenge to teach about signs and symptoms and prevention of skin diseases. But the community members could not gather for the lesson because they had lost one of the elders in the village. Irene managed to visit one of the mothers whom she met three months ago who had given birth to a very small baby, she was so frustrated because she has been giving birth to big babies. Irene encouraged the mother to continue taking good care of her baby, immunize,and maintain proper hygiene so as to keep the baby healthy.

The baby three months later. The mother thanx Kibo for the good work they are doing in their village,because she would have neglected her baby if she had no health specialist to talk too.
Irene met this baby three months ago, it was a small for date baby with 1.9kgs the mother was so desperate because among her
4 children she had never had such a small baby. Irene counseled her on exclusive breastfeeding and the best way to take care of the baby and 3months later the baby is the 5 kgs active and healthy.
