| THE childhood is a very significant moment and most memorable in the life of every human being. Therefore, be sure to make every moment spent with your baby becomes more special. |
Now that we have got that out the way, let's look at some hard facts. India has more malnourished children than the poorest regions in Sub-Saharan Africa! That’s not just in terms of sheer numbers (as you’d expect from the country with the world’s largest population), it's also as a percentage, and that is inexplicable.

In 2009, 1.72 million children died before they turned five, the most in the world.
