Should we use In-vitro fertilisation?

Some Christian couples wait for years to fall pregnant, yet they suffer when they do not get that positive test signal on a pregnancy test. This challenges their faith and their Christian journey and many of these couples consider in-vitro-fertilization as a God-given technique.

Let us take a closer look at what In-vitro-fertilization is and what the Bible has to say about it:

What is in-vitro-fertilization? In-vitro fertilisation is the process of joining a sperm and egg together outside a woman’s body, then placing the fertilised egg, or zygote, in the woman’s body so that she can fall pregnant. The problem is that the doctor does not fertilise one egg, but many eggs are fertilised. These eggs are grown and stimulated through hormone therapy. This great article from the Ministry Magazine will educate you on how the process works, what the Bible says, how the health of the woman is affected, and why it is a negative process that should be avoided.

I wish for you that your dream of starting a family will become a reality, whether with biological children or through adoption. May God guide you and carry you through this challenging time.

P.S. A great help for you if you are struggling to fall pregnant, is this product; it increases your chance of naturally falling pregnant up to 80% and for adoption you will find great information at this Christian organisation’s page.

First Aid Skills with Children

When was the last time that you practised First Aid skills? Was
it when you did your driver’s license test? If that is the case, then you need to make a change and brush up on your
lifesaving skills.
 
A great way to do this would be to refresh your skills together with your children. You can do this at: Redcross This site offers a great course for you to practice and teach your child/children First Aid Skills. As well as being a fun time of bonding, it will help you all to have a safer life and be prepared to help others.

Diapering:

Diapering is one, among many, challenges that parents face.

On one side of this challenge, you are faced with the question: What is the best for our child? Should our daughter/son wear washable, organic diapers or not? What are the benefits of reusable diapers compared to disposable diapers? What are the costs? Are disposable diapers really more expensive? Which brand is the best in the market? How much time will I spend washing natural diapers? What is the monetary value of that time? Are they really better for the environment? And so on…

Today, we would like to introduce you to a great article about this topic and an overview of the best diapers in the market. You will also be provided with tips on how to potty-train your child, tests about almost all diaper-relevant products, like the best baby-wipes or the best diaper bags for moms and dads. We hope that this useful site helps you with some of these decisions.

All the best with your journey,

Christian Pälchen.

 

Infant mortality rate: Why babies all over the world are now sleeping in boxes

This is  one of the worst scenarios for parents: to wake up in the morning and find your baby dead. Parents ask themselves: What can we do so that this will not happen to us?

Firstly, I would like to take a look at the Bible:

We can pray for our children:

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” 2 Peter 3:18

Or

“The Lord bless you and keep you, the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you, the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.”Numbers 6:24-26

But if you have recently found yourself in this horrible situation, know that our Lord will help you through this, just like He promises in His Word:

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

Luke 18:15-16

“Now they were bringing even infants to Him that He might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to them, saying, “Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.”

What does science and research teach us about these infant deaths? Is there anything that we can do? Finland has a very low infant mortality rate. Why is it so and what can we learn from them? Please read these two articles from the BBC about the Finnish solution.

All the best, may God bless your family and keep you safe!
