Nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura’s wife, Mukami Mwaura, has hit out at those who have been questioning the welfare of her son, who will be turning 1 year and 5 months on June 19.
She criticised those who have kept on bothering her about her son’s weight and general health, noting that some of the comments and questions they've been asking are hurtful.
In an Instagram post on June 9, Mukami pointed out that it is important for people to understand that every child is different, adding her son has made great strides considering he was born prematurely.
"I must admit, being a Preemie mum is not easy. The worst part about it is dealing with questions about delayed milestones .. my son will be turning one year 5 months on 19th June, but since he turned one every most people I meet are always asking if he is walking ... others ask me if I have checked his calcium levels to see if he has a problem ... others who are close to me tell me I don’t walk him enough that’s why he is not walking .. Other self-appointed nutritionists will tell me he is too small for his age ... he does not weigh as much…who died and appointed you distributor of weight ???,” asked Mukami.
“The thing is every child is different. I know my child is doing great considering his birth weight and his history ... so I dnt need you to highlight it after seeing him for one hour. people really dnt understand how some questions and comments hurt .. We should endevour to understand and appreciate that every child is different. Halafu be sensitive ... empathise before you ask some hurtful questions," she added.
Mukami, gave birth to triplets, two boys and a girl on January 19, 2017. Her triplets were however delivered premature at only 28 weeks and stayed in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for 11 weeks before two of them died.
