Mommy-shamers have accused singer Kelly Clarkson (inset) of child abuse for giving her two-year-old daughter, River Rose (pictured), Nutella for the first time. The 34 year old posted a video on Instagram of her toddler eating a Nutella-smeared piece of bread for the first time. The video, which has been viewed more than three million times, set off a firestorm of criticism on social media. Comments range from condescending to cruel. But the most vicious comment came from a user who called Clarkson's actions 'child abuse'. 'Giving food like this to a child is child abuse,' they wrote.

Karam, seven months, from Iraq, was plagued by an extremely rare condition where a conjoined twin did not fully form. Instead of growing a separate body, the other undeveloped baby's limbs absorbed into his as a result of polymelia. But his family (main with his mother Gufran Ali) flew him to India for the complex operation, hailed as a world first, to remove the unnecessary limbs. Surgeons at Jaypee Hospital, Delhi, (inset) performed a three-stage operation to remove his protruding extra arms and legs.

Chahat Kumar (left), eight months, from Punjab, India, weighs a similar amount to that of a four-year-old. Her parents (pictured right with her mother, Reena, 21) blame it on 'God' and her quadruple-sized portions of food, but they deny any responsibility over her diet. Doctors are confused as to what is causing her constant cravings, and are growing increasingly worried about her health. She now struggles to breathe and even sleep as a result of her excessive weight caused by eating like a '10-year-old', local reports suggest.

Naomi Facey, (pictured) from Russell, New Zealand, saw her umbilical cord was hanging out. Nurse Sue Bree got a ferry from Opua to help with her labour. Ms Bree said: 'If you are religious, now is the time to start praying.' Ms Facey had a cesarian section after she was taken to hospital by air ambulance. She gave birth to baby Emilia (top right).

Kim Kardashian has sparked fresh controversy by endorsing a 'risky' morning sickness pill - less than two years after being reprimanding by the FDA for doing just that. In August 2015, the Food and Drug Administration released a statement slamming Kim for promoting Diclegis to her millions of Instagram followers, without explaining the risks and side effects. She insisted the pill, the only approved drug on the market for morning sickness, has 'no increased risk to the baby'. 

Amy Earley, 37, from Charlotte, North Carolina (left), came down with a strep infection that damaged her kidneys, leaving their function at 15 percent. Doctors told her she would either need a transplant or have to be put on dialysis. That's when her twin sister, Becky Earley Gower (far right, pictured with Amy), stepped in and offered to donate one of her kidneys. The sisters are completing the final stages of testing and, if successful, will undergo the procedure this summer.

Kamran Ali Channa (right) complained of a small growth and pain in September last year - but local doctors initially dismissed the problem. As the strange lump grew quickly, his poverty-stricken family (pictured left with his mother Shamshad, 30) became desperate for answers and tried various different hospitals. Eventually he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, despite a host of doctors missing the signs, after his family spent their entire life-savings to seek answers. But experts at the National Institute of Child Health Hospital (NICH) in Karachi, believe his disease was actually curable if it had been caught early enough.

Nong Chogun (left and right), who lives with his grandparents in Vichienburi, a part of the Petchburi province of Thailand, was born with hydrocephalus - a build-up of fluid inside his skull which could be deadly. Two operations to relieve the pressure the excess liquid is causing on his brain both proved to be unsuccessful. But doctors are unable to guarantee any future treatment will make him better - and it could even be detrimental to his health. He was abandoned by his parents shortly after his birth as they were overwhelmed by his illness and unable to afford treatment.

New guidelines that illustrate how to deal with choking when nobody else is around should be provided, doctors at The Royal Brompton Hospital, London, argue. Dr Nick Hopkinson, who was behind a study into self-performing the treatment, said if you find yourself choking, find yourself a chair (left). Line your abdomen area up to the back of the chair to target the airways most effectively. From here, use both hands to grip the chair and then push against it (right) to exert enough force to try and dislodge the obstruction.

A survey has revealed that nearly a third of parents struggle to make lunchboxes a balanced meal, so parents on Mumsnet have created a list of clever and time-saving packed lunch tips. Clockwise, from left: cut out sandwiches into fun shapes using a cookie cutter; skewer fruit and vegetable to entice fussy eaters; pinwheels are great for kids and can be frozen to save time; disguise vegetables in healthy muffins; replace salty crisps with healthy vegetable versions; and be creative to make food fun for your children.

Known only as 'Liang Liang', he was admitted to hospital earlier this month after he started walking awkwardly with a limp - the result of pain in his genitals (pictured left: what a normal testicle should look like. Pictured right: what the youngster's looked like). Doctors in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, removed the dead testicle during a straightforward operation. However, his chances of ever having his own children have 'most certainly been compromised' as a result. They found it had twisted by its spermatic cord - the tube that suspends the testicles in the scrotum.

Stephanie, 27, from Florida was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer and told she had just 15 months to live. Because the tumor was based on her brain stem (inset), multiple surgeons said there was nothing they could do. But one neurosurgeon in Oklahoma told Stephanie he could help her and scheduled her for surgery (left). Today, Stephanie is cancer-free (right).

Sophia-Elizabeth Wicksted, from Liverpool, was born with a haemangioma - a collection of blood vessels grouped together into a lump. However, it started off only as a faint birthmark (right) on the side of her nose before growing larger as the weeks went by. Now, it has mutated into a red lump (left) that doctors warn could eventually take over the 11-week-old's entire face. But her parents Michelle Green, 33, and Steven Wicksted, 32, believe she is beautiful regardless of the condition.

Juan Suwanchatree's, 44, from Thailand, leg first started to swell two years ago after she became infected with a little-known tropical disease called Lymphatic Filariasis. Juan exhausted her meagre savings on ineffective treatment, forcing her children to work as child labourers to support the family. Mr Bhin (pictured) travels around Thailand to help the sick and donated £570 towards her treatment.

There is a term known as 'Blue Zones', which identifies pockets of the world where people live longer and healthier lives. Five places hold this moniker including Okinawa, Japan (top left); Nicoya peninsula, Costa Rica (top right); eastern Asia (bottom left); Sardinia, Italy and Ikaria, Greece (bottom right); and Loma Linda, California (inset). We reveal the ingredients they use and how they can extend your lifespan.

Lee Carseldine, retired Australian cricketer and Survivor contestant (pictured) shares his exercise tips. The 41-year-old said people over 40 need to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Workouts can be shorter so they don't tire you out and are tolerable. Use weights, focus on your core and change the routine.

Those unable to tell which character is the odd one out could well be at risk of the devastating illness. Known as Greebles, the little purple characters have been designed by scientists in their ongoing quest for a cure. A Vanderbilt University study found those at genetic risk of the disease struggle to distinguish a subtle difference in one of the images. However, their ability to detect minor changes in objects, faces and scenes are relatively unaffected.

Harry Appleton (right), from Chesterfield, has been unable to go to school for three months as he spends most of his time in bed. Left completely 'lifeless', no amount of prodding or poking can open his eyes during his time asleep. Doctors are baffled as to what could be causing the condition which has made him a 'completely different person'. His parents (pictured left with his mother, Jan, 40) are becoming increasingly concerned as his terrifying situation only appears to be getting worse.

Michael Sigwaza (pictured with his father, Ernest) was repeatedly taken to see his GP as well as medics at Bristol Children's Hospital Emergency Department (inset) with stomach cramps, but he kept being sent home with laxatives, his father claims. But after moving house and subsequently changing doctor, he was eventually found to have stage four bowel cancer. With chemotherapy proving to have no effect and the missed opportunity to potentially save his life, he is now set to receive palliative care at his home. His devastated father, Ernest, revealed his the heartbreaking news on a GoFundMe page designed to raise money to create memories in his final weeks.

Up to 8,000 stroke sufferers a year in England will benefit from the revolutionary technique, which works for more people and is far more effective than traditional drugs.

How sharp is your peripheral vision? While you may have given little thought to this area of sight, a new study has found that the ways in which we’re able to identify objects in our peripherals varies greatly between different people. Every individual has different ‘islands’ of poor vision, but on average, the researchers found that people tend to be weakest in their ability to see objects positioned above their center of vision. For this test, focus on the red dot. Now, while maintaining your focus, try to read the time on the middle clocks to the left and right. Which side is easier to read?

EXCLUSIVE: Jade Goody's (bottom right) death in 2009 aged just 27 brought the risks of cervical cancer and HPV to light. But Jeff Brazier (left), born in Tiptree and the father of her children Freddy, now 11, and Bobby, 12, says there is little awareness of the link between the virus and cancer for men. The 27-year-old, who has brought them up single-handedly, said: 'Even despite all the awareness raising Jade did about cancer, I wasn't aware of the risks related to HPV (top right) for my sons. HPV is typically seen as a female issue. But I'll definitely be getting them vaccinated now.' It comes after pharmacy chain Boots UK announced it is launching a new private vaccination service from the age of 12 to 44.

One of the last memories Melanie Rothner has of her father is of him giving her a cheery wave from his hospital bed. ‘Dad was sitting up laughing and joking, and he blew me a kiss as I left the room,’ she says. Mike, pictured right with his wife, a popular dentist, who at 62 was looking forward to a long and happy retirement, had been taken to hospital by ambulance after suffering from what initially appeared to be a bad dose of norovirus, the winter vomiting bug. None of his family — Melanie, 39, her mother Christine and sister Marie-Anne, 34 — had any idea how ill he was. For within hours of that cheery wave, he started struggling to breathe and his family were ushered in to see him. What had happened was that Mike had become yet another victim of sepsis. This article tells the stories of Mike, Jo Atrill, left, and Charles Martin, inset

Model Peyton Linafelter spent months wondering why her stomach was expanding, and she could keep food down. Then, on her 16th birthday in April last year, she was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. It came just months after she'd been scouted by Kate Upton's agent at a Taylor Swift concert. Most women who are diagnosed are over 60 and the five-year survival rate is just 17 percent. Despite the likely death sentence, Peyton beat it after surgery and several rounds of chemo. Now, she's speaking out, urging women all of ages to understand and check for the warning signs. Pictured: after beating the disease (left, in a bikini, displaying her scar after surgery to remove the tumors).

British blogger Scarlett Dixon, 28, has suffered with stomach pains, bloating, constipation and diarrhea linked to Irritable Bowel Syndrome her whole life, with doctors unable to help. The cramps and bowel issues intensified in her teens (pictured, left), often driving her to tears. At one point, while in university, she called the hospital thinking she was dying. Eventually, with no help from medics, she took matters into her own hands. Now (pictured, right), with a reformed diet and treatment regime, she feels symptom-free.

Victoria Griffiths (left), 35, from Warrington, is confined to a wheelchair after breaking two bones in her back while lifting a 20 stone weight at the gym (right). She underwent four hours of emergency surgery (insert) and spent 11 hours in intensive care. Victoria is unsure of her future as a firefighter and is saving to buy a wheelchair-adjusted home with her partner Dave, 35.
