What to do when the baby gets angry and hits only

There are many children who come year as they acquire part of their personality, and have the ability to make us see when they are very happy and elated as well as something they dislike or do not like.

Some infants are usually self-harm banging against furniture, or floor to a denial of the parents, and as such we care for it, but at this age the young have little control over their emotions, especially when they are frustrated and that have more temperament can reach extremes.        

You have to make sure as parents that are not made serious damage and require care, even we have soft and protected places where the child is mobilized or where to place it in this time of tantrums.

Inguinal hernia in an infant

In reviewing doctor , the doctor if you notice a small lump in the groin area of your baby, or an enlargement in the scrotum, we may comment that the child has an inguinal hernia, the disorder appears in five of every hundred children is born and gives mostly the men. It happens when it affects a small portion of the intestine that "slips" through an opening located in the lower abdominal wall.

Hernias in children due to the normal opening of the peritoneum not close properly before birth the peritoneum is a sac that surrounds the organs in the abdominal cavity. Before birth, this bag has two elongated projections that pass through the muscle wall in children and lead to the scrotum with the testes, while the girls do with the lips of the vulva.

Why not give your baby cow's milk

Many parents ask this question because they can not give cow's milk to their newborns, and the answer is simple: Young babies do not properly digest cow's milk, quite easily as the formula.

Moreover cow's milk contains high protein content, which can overload the kidneys, not yet fully mature, in an infant and cause serious alterations in times of extreme heat, fever, or diarrhea. Besides cow's milk does not have the necessary amount of iron and vitamin C needed by the baby, can even lead to iron deficiency anemia in some babies, since the protein it contains irritate the lining of the stomach and intestine, causing blood loss through the feces. This is why babies should not drink cow's milk the first 12 months of life.

Stimulation for baby's brain growth

We must always keep in mind when to encourage and contribute to the growth of our baby, create a safe environment where the child can move at ease and free to explore its surroundings. Being the baby warm in this relationship, should never miss the hugs, kisses and caresses, to convey a sense of security and welfare, feeding the growth of their self-esteem.

To do this, we must be sensitive to their moods, always respond in any situation. Also need to sing songs while sharing moments like bathing, eating, or walking, so it feeds the language and way of expression for children. Should you establish dialogue on equal terms with the baby imitating their sounds, and teaching others to show any interest. You can read stories and teach its representative figures making sounds.

Evolution of the vision of a baby from four to seven months

As our baby grows and puts into practice new motor skills, Did you notice carefully as seen in everything he does? The concentration with which contemplates a toy, you can get to remind a scientist locked in their thinking and research. There is no doubt that sight plays a key role in the early stages of motor development and cognitive development. Your baby's eyes will become fully functional just when he most needed.

Although your son mom, and saw the birth, your view takes several months to mature fully, only to this stage can distinguish different shades of red, blue and yellow. Do not be surprised when the child prefers red or blue to other colors appear to be the favorite of most infants of this age. As they grow, most babies prefer visual stimuli and more comprehensive, something that should you have in mind when shopping for picture books, or posters for your child's room.

Development of intelligence and creativity of a baby

To start developing the Cognitive area, a baby is necessary that the child has become aware of itself and its environment through direct experiences, the creation of mental images and subsequent acquisition of a language that allows you to interact with the environment surrounding it, this begins to happen with the passing of days and as parents we would like to shelter our son in a friendly and safe.

It is sometimes very difficult to separate from the Cognitive area, the other dimensions of development, since it involves on the one hand sensorimotor aspect in the knowledge of himself and his reactions to certain stimuli, through the which can explore their environment, so you can manipulate and compare, choose or distinguish certain objects or attitudes, and on the other side the Psycho-social area, which relates solely at the child's interaction with parents and all those people who surround, besides language.

Pregnancy and physical activity

Moms who practice exercises during pregnancy, physicists have less risk for depression. Studies have shown that those women who exercise daily are less likely to develop this type of pathology during the prenatal period and therefore helps to reduce the risk for osteoporosis in post-partum.

Suffering anguish, anxiety and weakness during pregnancy is directly related to how badly some women feel the physical changes your body is feeling and experiencing over the last 9 months pregnant. This type of complex impairs self-esteem, in some mothers both before and after giving birth to their babies.

The importance of drinking water during pregnancy

Drinking water during pregnancy is important because from the belly of the mother water protects our little baby from external aggressions through the amniotic fluid.

After birth the water continues to play a fundamental role in life and full development of the baby. The 75% of the weight of our baby is water, which is why it is important to keep this delicate balance the body. In the development of your entire body bone, muscle, nerve and tissue, water is an essential component, so to support the growth of the baby is always necessary, since in the womb receive adequate hydration.

Playground

Lift into the air, blow it up, rocking in the hammock are games, that babies love and need to encourage their development and coordination of cognitive senses especially the balance, the gentle away often remind when I was in the belly his mother, so help him move play is a fundamental part of its growth.

 For that parents play a key role as the child will self-confidence and feel supported by us.

The game of gross in the boat.

In this game the child develops the abdominal muscles and arms, head control, and perception of space. The smaller, slower we play with him.

Will place the baby on various cushions and pillows so that it is in front of us, we will sit on the floor with legs crossed, and with the help of a cane, cane or long stick (broom or duster). We take the stick with both hands up to our shoulders and we will come and will move away from the baby, swinging forward and backward as if we were paddling.

Cognitive development of the baby of 8 months

When the baby reaches 8 months is a child, wide awake, and that everything is a world that wants to discover, begins to help himself exploring objects in various ways, stirring or agitating, hitting, throwing or simply dropping them. It is attractive to find hidden objects, and usually do very easily you can watch an image correctly when you said it is among other things.

It also begins to speak, pronouncing syllables separated or small words, like father, mother, given. And is dedicated to looking around to practice communication, mimicking our gestures. Her little hands have already acquired some strength and coordination in their movements, so it takes objects correctly as drinking glass, a comb or brush, to comb, and certainly if you are fond of the music has learned to stand on its own headphones and enjoy the rhythm of what you hear.

Burns and choking

As our babies grow and acquire skills , their movements make them more individual, with our collaboration and control in a safe environment grow, so we should never overlook some things that may not seem important but when it comes to care our son, prevent complications and expose him to danger.

Burns

Never load your child while smoking, (in fact should not smoke around him), if you are drinking something hot, or cooking on the stove or oven.

Just as you should not smoke near it, do not allow anyone else to do either.

Before putting your child to always check bath water temperature with the inside of the wrist elbow or forearm.

Never heat the milk the baby (later no other food) in the microwave, remember that the heat penetrates the inside out and even what may seem cold, the inside may be hot, causing burns to the baby. You test them before giving them to the child.

Baby, care of the penis

Babies need care in their genitals, depending on their sex, as is the case with children (males) must take some special care at the time of their diapers changed, especially if we think that your penis is a sensing member which is in contact with urine.

We have two types of care specifically, when the penis is uncircumcised, and when not.

Care of the circumcised penis: If you want your child to practice circumcision, probably will make the second or third day of life, unless delayed for religious reasons, after the intervention, he bandaged the glans Vaseline impregnated gauze, usually this dressing will fall the first time the child urinates, some pediatricians suggest further bandaging the penis, until it heals completely, while others leave it exposed pediatricians recommend.

Infections in the upper respiratory tract

Many babies get their first cold during the first months of life. Breast milk confers some immunity, but by no means guarantees complete protection, especially if another family member suffers from respiratory disease. These infections are easily spread by droplets in the air or by contact with hands. (Exposure to cold or drafts do not cause colds) Wash hands, cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing and kissing the child when cold, are the best ways to avoid infect it.

Most infections respiratory babies who contract are mild, causing coughing, runny nose and a slight increase in temperature, but rarely fever. Mucus, however it can be a real problem for the infant. By not being able senseless, mucus may end up blocking the nasal passages. Before he was three or four months, babies still breathe properly through the mouth, so this blockage can cause them more discomfort than older children.

The aggressive behavior of a baby

In childhood, normal attacks aggressively. The aggressive behaviors are behaviors that can cause unintended harm, whether physical or psychological. Behaviors such as hitting others, offend them, mock them, and throw temper tantrums or using inappropriate words to call the other part of children's aggression.

When some children persist in their aggressive behavior and are unable to control his strong temper, may be frustrated causing suffering and rejection of others. According to experts, the frustration and aggression makes an excellent breeding ground for aggressive behavior that is developed in children.

Limits against aggressive child behavior

The child's aggressive behavior is normal, but the challenge is to control it. Often causes the child to an adult so he can act in place and control his aggressive impulses because it can not do this. Therefore, the child needs a "do not do that" or "for that." Children sometimes ask for a fight. It is as if a check would borrow his father or his mother. Just as parents teach to walk, to talk or eat, their children should be taught also to control their aggression.

The baby of 8 months and skills

At this age, the baby learns to stand up, crawl and take the first steps, are the most spectacular achievements of this period, but we must not overlook the wonderful things our baby will learn to do with their hands.

At the beginning of this period still catch the baby items so awkward, usually using the whole hand, but at the end of this stage will accurately using the thumb and forefinger , it will take to find out practicing the movement of pliers pieces of cereal to feed often and maybe even if you try to snap your fingers teaches.

How to combat pain during pregnancy

The time to say goodbye to the bottle

Most pediatricians recommend around the year for the child to leave the bottle or at the latest arrivals to 18 months. As our little child learns to drink the cup, you no longer need a bottle.

Unfortunately the final weaning is not always easy as often seems. To make things easier, it is best to start by removing the bottle in the afternoon and later in the evening and the morning, leaving at night to go, since it is the more costs to drop the baby.

If the child can not sleep or wake up suddenly at night, it's easy to get into the habit of using food or bottle for comfort. But at this age children do not need or eat or drink anything at night. If you still feed your baby at night should no longer do, even if the child cries and looks thirsty to drink, night shots are a form of comfort and not to meet their nutritional needs.

The daily menu for the first year

The fact that our little boy looks healthy part of a challenge for parents, the food is doing its part, if varied and colorful, our child will never be short of nutrients, and will be smiling and cheerful throughout the day, because food is the main source of energy we have.

This menu is an example which should follow the mothers of children who have served or are passing the first year of life, which reached a weight of 12 to 14 kilos. As not all babies are equal, this will depend also on how much to indicate our pediatrician and the baby's adaptation to the food.

BREAKFAST:

1/2 cup of cereal, enriched with iron or a boiled egg (never more than 3 eggs a week)

1/4 cup whole milk with cereals

1/2 cup juice or cereal with fruit puree (banana or strawberries)

Advantages and disadvantages of bottle feeding

There is no doubt that breastfeeding is the best way to feed our baby, but despite recognizing its advantages, both mothers and fathers may think that feeding with bottle, gives the mother more freedom and more time to devote to her young son and the tasks related to their care.

The bottle well mom let other family members feed the baby, father, grandparents and even older siblings, favoring other links, and may contain the same formula or breast milk without, which the mother is present. This not only provides greater flexibility to the mother, but also represents a good opportunity for other family members to strengthen their relationship with the baby.

Also keep in mind that our son's clothes, ornaments or do not contain elements that can easily detach, because you may choke or choke on them , keep in mind that babies can take everything in their mouths, or can be inhaled accidentally. Clothing is advisable to use natural fibers like cotton absorb moisture and do not cause irritations or allergies.

Also try many of the gestures he sees his parents and siblings do while dialogue, this is a form of communication that use the baby until it acquires the art of language and to express their messages with words.

At this stage, the child begins to babble with specific syllables like "ba", "da", "ga", "pa", "ma" and may already have begun at 8 months to practice the words, Therefore we are excited to hear, like "mama" or "tata" every time you want to capture our attention being because it is to realize that that makes us feel. Once you learn to say them correctly, you can spend the whole day saying "ma-ma", solely because of practice and because it is very entertaining, but then at the end of the period used the right words to convey exactly what it means.

The pacifier should not be used as a substitute for food. First you try to hug him, pamper, rocking and singing to fall asleep. Then put the lights down low and some soft music. When you wake up, be sure to give enough milk before passing the pacifier.
