Teach children to wash their hands

When your son is old enough to go to the bathroom alone and use the potty by itself, it is also old enough to imitate what their parents do after using the bathroom. For that I bring you some tips to get kids to wash their hands after using the bathroom.

You let him see your usual routine to go to the bathroom, including you see the way you wash your hands. If your child sees you doing that, you may begin to associate the cleaning of hands with the process of using the bathroom. Do you reach the sink with a small stool and help it with water and soap.

What to know about the polio vaccine

When vaccinating children, both mothers and infants sometimes we fear, it is clear that children do not like to be vaccinated, but thanks to this we can prevent and eradicate diseases like polio, which is a viral disease that can paralyze some muscles of the body.

It can be mild or severe depending on the affected muscles. Fortunately has been eradicated by the effects of effective vaccines to prevent disease.

Children should receive four doses of the vaccine before entering school, and there are two types of vaccines against this disease: IPV (or inactivated polio vaccine) and injected into the leg or arm, and OPV (or attenuated polio vaccine) that is taken orally as drops.

Diarrhea, baby care

The diarrhea occurs when the inner cover of the intestine suffers an injury. What makes the stool softer than usual means that the ingested nutrients are not digested or absorbed properly by the intestine.

Injured tissue also tends to filter liquids, which are lost and mineral salts. These losses are compounded if your baby eats food or sugary drinks because the sugar is not absorbed, it attracts more fluid, worsening diarrhea.

If your child has vomiting followed by diarrhea within a few days, may have a viral infection in the intestinal tract.
