2015 may be drawing to a close, but we are still going to leave you with plenty of parenting and baby care tips to tide you over the festive season. From a rundown of key items to consider when out shopping for the tiny tot and why an excess intake of protein during your child’s first 2 years can put him in an unhealthy weight range to reasons why parents are the perfect playmate for their kids, there are lots of useful material for you to ponder on over the long-awaited holidays.

August is also the period for Breastfeeding Awareness, so we prepared a special feature for the mothers who are new to the breastfeeding scene as well. As all veteran breastfeeding mothers would know, the act of feeding your child in public can be a sensitive issue so we got our mommy writer to share a few tips on how to feed the baby in peace while maintaining grace and poise.

In this issue, we look at how too much praise can negatively impact a child for life (p. 12) and the 4 lessons your child will learn if they get to grow up with pets (p. 36).
