This 3 week old Nigerian baby can already feed herself!!!

At just 3 weeks old, baby Amara Chiedozie can hold
her feeding bottle...and her mum, 20 year old
student Onyi Chiedozie, claims she's been doing this
since was just three days old. How is this even
possible? Her mum explains;
'When we were feeding, she started shaking, then
she just grabbed the bottle. She was holding it by
herself. We couldn't believe it because babies
don't normally do it that young. I'm so shocked
that I have been documenting it every day. It's unbelievable.
"When she doesn't want it she will push it away.
She isn't strong enough to throw it away, but she
does push it, like she does with her dummy. If she
is really hungry, she starts shaking. Then she will
just grab the bottle as you give it to her.'

Onyi, who is a single mother and lives in Essex, UK,
says she makes sure she is always watching her
daughter when she is feeding herself.
'Sometimes I hold her or sometimes you can prop
her up with a pillow and give her the bottle. I'm always watching her – I don't let her out of my
sight.' she said.

According to UK Daily Mail, Amara weighed 6lbs 3oz
when she was born on August 3 at Queen's Hospital in Romford. Onyi said her baby's progress astounded medical professionals.
'Even nurses are really surprised. When my health
support nurse came, she was shocked as well. She couldn't believe that this could happen. Whenever we go to appointments, we take pictures of her
doing it. The midwife and even the doctor we had
an appointment with on Saturday were actually
amazed. They couldn't believe it.
Onyi, who also breastfeeds Amara regularly, said:
'The breastfeeding is better now – it's comfortable. It used to be painful and sore before
but it's good now. When she breastfeeds she is
touching and holding on to me. It's a really nice
experience and way to bond.' Babies are usually
able to hold a bottle unaided from around six months.
Meanwhile there's a warning against letting babies
feed themselves. Parents' charity NCT warns;

'If you give your baby a bottle, always hold the
bottle and your baby whilst feeding. It's not safe
to leave babies to feed themselves or to prop up a
bottle; if they choke they won't be able to push
the bottle away.'

The charity also warns that babies can choke on
something as small as a grape and should not be left
alone while feeding or eating.

South Korea has become the first east Asian country to legalise medical cannabis in a surprising move to expand the treatment options for patients with epilepsy and other rare diseases in the conservative country. The country’s national assembly approved amending the Act on the Management of Narcotic Drugs on Friday to allow non-hallucinogenic doses of medical marijuana. Still, using weed even for medical purpose will be strictly controlled with patients required to apply to the Korea Orphan Drug Centre, a government body facilitating patient access to rare medicines, after receiving a doctor’s prescription. Approval will be granted on a case-by-case basis, according to the country’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. South Korea has some of the toughest rules on cannabis consumption with citizens prosecuted for using weed in other countries where recreational marijuana is legalised. Under the country’s anti-drug laws, smoking and trading marijuana remains illegal with th...
