Every mother who has given birth to kids and raised them to be adults knows that that is not a walk in the park. When a kid is still a toddler up to the time he gets to about ten years, the mother needs to be always watchful of her child’s health. This is a very crucial stage in the kid’s life and if anything is not properly done or not done at all, the kid might be at very many health risks.
