important of breastfeedingThere are some things related to when we talk about the food or nutrition in infants. One of them is breast milk, whereas we know how its gift with the word “breastfeeding”. Because parents are too busy or ignorance of the importance of breast milk for their children in the first years of life, it is underrated. That is the basis for us to start this post. Although more about the benefits of breast-feeding we will try to explain to other writings.

We mean by this, that the food that can be provided by a milk of woman other than that of the mother, albeit breastfed directly to the chest of the mother is not the same. And it is not equal, because as it has been observed on numerous occasions, and even by ourselves, the milk of women is a “fluid dynamic” whose composition varies over a same weighing, along a day and to over the months, while specifically tailored to the needs of the son of a mother who produces it. The consequences of this perfect match are known, especially some of them, since time immemorial. It is not, as it is understandable, the less important, that mortality has been, in the course of history, infinitely less in the children nutrition by their mothers in children fed artificially. This in a past was norm everywhere, has ceased to be true in the present times in the developed countries.

Here the infant mortality is the same whatever type of breastfeeding chosen. However, it would be worth say that in the third world countries the demographic behaviors are the same as were all over the world makes millennium: continue to die many more children when they are fed artificially. The margin of these facts that, as we say, are irrelevant to the current time between us, can be invoked many other reasons to argue in favor of the breastfeeding in all environments.

avoid diarrheal diseasesDiarrheal diseases caused by bacterial infection in children are directly related to the hygiene habits, if you do not have the proper care, will be presented with greater frequency what in the end can generate malnutrition.

The form of contagion of infections in children is related to the contact hand-mouth, diarrheal infections are one of the main causes of malnutrition in children. It is important wash their hands, be careful with their hygiene people and with the utensils at home.

Among the six months and the year, the child is more exposed to the diarrheal diseases and parasitic, because they tend to take away everything that are at the mouth, it is also the period in which crawl or moving by what they should be wash frequently hands.

Simple Hygiene Practices:

  • Children should eat with their own spoon. It is not good for people blow your meals or proving the food.
  • Babies should have their own eating utensils and for the toilet.
  • Dryers must be clean.

diaper rush on babyThe diaper rash usually does not appear by a single factor, but rather by a combination of several factors. The factors that can attack the baby’s skin are:

  • Moisture.
  • The ammonia in the urine
  • Recurring Diarrhea
  • If the diapers are of fabric, the products that are used to launder them.
  • The use of soap in excess in carrying out the cleaning to withdraw the dirty diaper.

As in many problems, it is easier to prevent than cure. For those, if we take some simple precautions will avoid the diaper rash that can cause many inconvenience to our baby.

  • Changing diapers each time the baby make their needs. For more absorbent to tell us the trade that are the diapers, ideally change barely wet note. The diapers must be rather large to avoid friction with the skin.
  • Wash very well the area, with special care in the folds of skin. Do not wash with soap, but with water.
  • As far as possible, to ensure that every day the baby pass a while without diapers.
  • By the nights, (because they are more hours with the diaper post) put on an ointment on the basis of zinc oxide. These cream offer a barrier between the skin and moisture diaper and always should be applied on the skin either clean and dry.

baby and momAt moment of birth, both the baby as the mom change totally their worlds. The newborn leaves the only place that has known since it began to form and the mom cease to be alone with her son, in order to become two different people and separate. From this time, and for the first time, already are mother and son, a new way both should begin to walk.

The changes that the baby must face from the moment of birth are many. The first is to lose the only world that he/she know, transmitting calm and security to a world completely unknown and that it only cause fear and anguish.

Above her / his life had passed in a warm place, dark, surrounded by liquid in which he should never suffer hunger, cold, heat or pain. Never felt just as it always was within her mom and her body was in constant contact with the uterus in the same.

Within this wonderful world could float, play, to get around and listen to music and reassuring the heartbeat of her / his mom.

To exit the belly, is now with a world entirely different and until “aggressive”. It is a world open, in which the force of gravity prevents him from moving as it toward before, it is very bright, feel cold, heat, hunger and for worse, feels much loneliness. It is clothing and is separated from her / his mom. No longer feels for nothing secure.

Therefore, taking into account these sentiments that have aroused in our newborn, is that we can consider that the needs during their first days of life are: communication, contact and food.

Communication. The baby need to feel reported on a permanent with her mom as it did before, feeling the beat of his / her heart and VOS (verbal operation system). So the breast should talk to him, be near him, look constantly, in order to provide security that he needs.

Contact. To feel in contact as in the uterus, it is necessary loading, swing, press against the chest. The space so great in the found it causes a great sense of emptiness that anguish and intimidates, that is the reason why cries hardly puts it in the Moses and calm when the loaded and past.

Food. We should not only just feeding and nothing more. During the time of breastfeeding, nothing better to talk to him, look in the eyes, give heat to the hug, to enable it to enjoy this moment and feel at your known world and lost.

Throughout the pregnancy, is 9 months and 10 days, the newly born perceived feelings and movement, each thing that made her mom he felt, your breathing, his voice, his heart, never was alone, then you do not pretend that a minute to another to feel comfortable in the loneliness, silence and stillness prevailing within a Moses.

Demos time this baby to learn this new space that he has been submitted and that you feel as safe as when he was within the belly of his mom. You might feel confidence and love of those around him. Not be afraid show during its early days throughout the warmth and affection you need, in this way will feel understood and above all lovely things, feeling essential to begin to rely on this new world in which will be for the rest of his/her life.
