⚠️ Awareness post: Parents, Please Be Careful This Ember Period
Something happened that really shook me, and I feel like to share it — especially now that we’re in the ember months.
I was at my POS stand, carrying my baby on my lap.
Then a woman I had never seen before walked up to me and said,
“Hey, your baby is fat, bring her here.”
I smiled politely and told her, “She’s hungry o, let me breastfeed her first.”
But the woman stayed there. She waited and waited for over 30 minutes!
She kept looking at me
At that moment, something didn’t feel right in my spirit.
Why was a stranger waiting so long just to “carry” my baby?
I didn’t stop breastfeeding, and I didn’t let my baby out of my hands.
After some time, she left just like that.
When I thought about it later, I realized how strange that whole scene was.
Anything could have happened.
👉 Please, my people, be careful this season.
We hear stories every day — children missing, people pretending to be kind, and all sorts of strange happenings.
Don’t let anyone you don’t know carry, hold, or get too close to your child, no matter how friendly they sound.
These ember months are full of celebrations, but also full of people looking for opportunities to harm others.
Be vigilant. Be prayerful. Be sensitive.
May God continue to protect all parents and children 🙏
