  The well being of the individual right from conception until delivery and continuously attaining age 7 is very crucial.
  
  A conscious effort must be made to ensure that the infant thrives in a very accommodating environment.
  
  First, the foetus in the womb must be protected until delivery, that is why it is a capital offence, in the eyes of God, to abort in the name of 'unwanted pregnancies'.
  
  Now, the following are some of the survival models of new born babies.
  
  -Make sure that children are not exposed to dirty surroundings.
  
  -Regular sweeping of the environment is very important.
  
  -Make sure you tone down dust by sprinkling water on the ground before sweeping,
  
  -Advise mothers not to sweep while baby is at the back.
  
  -Regularly check the beddings of the little ones; pillow, blanket, bed sheet etc.
  
  -The under of the wooden/metallic structure of bed must be cleaned regularly.
  
  -Dirty cloths should not be left hanging on doors, beds or anywhere in the room to ensure proper circulation of air.
  
  -Ladies and gentlemen, window washing is very important to allow transparent flow and circulation of air in the rooms. A lot of windows are left unwashed. Please, carry out this exercise for the sake of the little ones.
  
  -Package all items in the room which are not often used, but which only attract dust/dirt to the discomfort of the children.
  
  -There are people who are into the habit of burning refuse with its attendant challenging respiratory challenges of us all, especially, children. Some carry out the acts in the night, and whom are they deceiving? Angels are keeping records of everything. Do not discharge any gaseous/liquid/solid pollutants to detriment of well being of people. Some people would even quarrel when you try to correct them.
  
  -Mothers, when you wash clothes, do not dry them in the rooms since it deprives the surrounding of proper or clean Oxygen. Dry clothes outside, far from the bedroom, and do it when it is very sunny, or package them for drying the next day.
  Do not stuff the drying lines with wet clothes overnight since they pollute the surroundings especially when the bedroom is close to the drying lines.
  
  -Please, be a watchman and be on a look out for children who may be in distressful situations and advise the mothers, accordingly. Do not just be a passer by in the market, but ensure that parents are cautioned to ensure that the children are in neat surroundings.
  
  -Make sure the refuse is properly managed on the compound where you living, by covering the rubbish container properly. You may add grasses to contain the stench.
  
  -Babies should be brought outside for fresh air, every day.
