An umbilical hernia

In most cases, hernias of the newborn are less than one centimeter in diameter and its natural tendency is towards progressive and spontaneous closure, which usually occurs during the first two years of life, so that that age, most umbilical hernias are closed. When the child makes an effort hernia, you can see a bulge at the navel, which corresponds to the output of the abdominal contents through the hole and that many people mistakenly call hernia. When the effort ends, the abdominal contents is reintroduced and the lump disappears.

In many countries it is traditional to the use of belts to the navel, to favor the umbilical ring closure to avoid the appearance of hernias. But this is not right and what is done is to plug the problem. Furthermore, when the belt is too tight and compresses the abdomen, causing problems for the baby, as skin infections, impaired digestion, colic and possibly nausea or vomiting.
The pediatrician will tell you how to fix this problem.

Each color is associated with a meaning and is associated with certain qualities or characteristics. Thus, the blue is identified with the calmness, purity, tranquility, nature (the blue sky or the sea), while red is more about passion, courage, honor, stoicism. Pink could be more innocent version of this color and thus was used in childhood.

At what point is turned the tables? Well it looks like the first signs feminists, the struggle for gender equality, the effort to avoid differences and prejudices between the sexes. They wanted to avoid that already, from small, barriers will be marked distinctions in clothing for infants and was passed to change this tradition. Dressing up a blue boy and a girl in pink, was an act of rebellion against stereotypes. Although it appears that this industrial action fell into a new tradition.

The point is that, without realizing it, and we are making certain conduct prejudiced in infants and there is still too rooted tradition in relation to this issue. Many mothers fleeing her and dress their children as they want, regardless of color association is implied.

For this reason, you should introduce gluten in the diet of infants in a gradual and not before 6 months of age.

This, in turn, could also generate an intolerance to milk cows.

Gluten intolerance of wheat, barley and rye are people with celiac disease and must eat a diet something special.

This response is defined as compensation to offset the lack of oxygen induced by maternal smoking. To be greater the size of the placenta in these women, the frequency of placenta previa with greater risk of abruptio placenta, bleeding of the same and early rupture of membranes. All of these complications occur more frequently in those smokers who have a high level of consumption.

Several studies have confirmed that the incidence of placental complications is higher in pregnancies of women who smoke than in those who are not.
These complications carry a high risk of preterm birth and fetal or neonatal loss are related as cause of death in deaths related to the birth of the children of smoking mothers.

The cessation of snuff when pregnancy is confirmed, puts these women in a situation almost similar in terms of harm to the fetus is concerned, that of women who never smoked. The fact observed by most gynecologists is that children of mothers who smoke weigh on average at birth between 150 and 250 g less than those infants whose mothers did not smoke.

In female smokers who quit smoking during pregnancy, the weight of their children is identical to the children of those who have never smoked. Although not yet known exactly what is the time when the consumption of snuff is more detrimental to the final weight of the newborn, it seems more evident in the third trimester of pregnancy, a period in which oxygen demand is greater and more urgent.
If you are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor formulas exist to quit smoking.

However, each doctor has to criteria that may vary slightly on the opinions of others. For this reason, it may happen that, when discussing with other mothers and fathers on any specific detail related to our son, we find some differences in the guidelines taken.

For example, in the case of food. Some pediatricians suggest that you begin to introduce solid foods, of course, crushed, from the fifth month of the child. Others prefer to wait until the child reaches 6 or 7 months to start firing.

In terms of psychomotor development, most agree that it is advisable that the child begins to discover their mobility in the playground from the sixth month, when they remain seated without difficulty and can start interacting with toys. From that point, the child will begin to lie face down and develop the instinct to crawl to get some object that is not within reach. Little by little, will investigate their own mobility and begin to abide in the walls to try to stand. An exercise that can begin to develop from eight months to one year. In this regard, some pediatricians recommend the use of tacata to enhance baby’s motor development, while others, however, prefer to avoid.

As for drugs, there are pediatricians who are more likely to prescribe acetaminophen with minimal discomfort to the baby may have, for example, after putting a vaccine or with the first signs of teething. Others, however, recommend that the drug not abuse unless we see the child very upset, trouble sleeping or loss of appetite.

In all of these issues comes into play the knowledge that parents have of our children. Of course, follow the instructions that marks the pediatrician who is a professional for that but. His advice and guidelines are general and within the general rule that marks the specialist, is the personal aspect of each child. And, of course, pediatricians can not know everything about all children. Like every pediatrillo can have its own booklet, each child can also have yours.

Sometimes we resist this change everything we can. We want to continue bringing our lifestyle, keep our hobbies, keep the social rhythm that we had not dispense with our hobbies or activities rooted.

In some cases it may be entirely feasible and parenthood need not be a radical change in our lives. However, before making a decision on what to do or not do when we have a child, should be more prudent, consistent and have more common sense.

Sometimes we want to have children or be “road” and we must never forget they are children. Some argue that they have to get used to everything, we can not have them in a glass case, overprotected and in cotton but I think to some extent, they deserve the special attention and protection.

We can go out to dinner and drinks with babies in their cars, get used to sleep with the noise. If a child is sleepy, eventually slept outside noise around you. But perhaps you’re doing a disservice. The child does not rest well, can you wake up in the middle of the night or to unveil when you get home and, without realizing it, we have created a state of stress. Interrupt the sleep of infants, may cause future disorders that affect the child.

They can also join us for a concert or, now Fallas in Valencia, a mascletá, but their ears are very sensitive, they do not know what is happening and any shock will alter too.

Many parents do not want to give up our holidays and think about the trip that we would do to us, regardless of which now carry more luggage. Like too many hours of travel, or spend all day at the beach does not suit the small or baby food to eat every day is not recommended.

If parents want to be modern, we must not forget that babies do not understand fashion and lifestyles. They just released in this world and what they need most is peace, care, affection and attention.

Sometimes it is downright difficult, if not impossible. Furthermore, it appears that there is a direct relationship between the reaction of tantrum by the child, or when the situation more uncomfortable for the mother. I mean, can that child from a tantrum at home and before you send it punished his room as he has passed. But if the tantrum is triggered in line at the supermarket, while the mother is keeping the purchase, the super is full and the cashier looks at the situation faced “how rude” the tantrum is highest.

What to do? Hopefully the method will work showed a TV ad, in which the mother was thrown to the ground and began to kick before he made his son. (I’ve tried and my son’s anger was rising to believe I was making fun of him).

Tantrums can be caused by the reason most absurd and baseless. Normally, children want to get away with it on very simple because they need to build your personality. They are taking orders all day, do not do this, stand here, do not shout, eat chicken, let your brother go to bed … As they get older, they need to show their character and rebel, in a way, against all the constraints and rules that must be met. At some point, want to set your criteria, get away with it simply because to do so, take the lead, to record its decision. A pediatrician once told me, three years, children experience their early teens, his personal struggle against the world.

When they get younger siblings, older people can accentuate a more rebellious behavior by simply calling attention and protest at having given his reign. But the issue of deposed princes, deserves another post.

As for tantrums in general, parents have to be patient and understanding because, in most cases, children with behavior, want to tell us something we do not know or can not express in words.

Punishing behavior usually gives a good result. The problem is when the punishment can not be applied immediately after the tantrum occurring. Children understand the negative consequences that triggers bad behavior on their part. But, three hours later punish, punishment loses its strength and its effect on the child.

Ignoring his attitude and realize that they do not get the attention of parents, may be a sufficient rebuke to the child and understand that it succeeds.

According Leboyer, to be held, rocked, caressed, touched, massaged, etc … is so vital for young children such as vitamins, minerals and proteins. This infant massage gets calm children, promotes the resistance of your body, gives them a quiet sleep and a positive mental development. Massages are one of the favorite moments of babies. During the massage the small feel a nice feeling because it is not only skin contact, but also feel sensations through hearing, smell and vision.

If massage is part of a daily routine, the baby will know that after bathing and before you put your clothes will provide long-awaited moment.
