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

If pain is severe, you can use drugs in early safest during pregnancy is acetaminophen, although some studies have shown that consumption may slightly increase the risk of asthma in the infant. Only take medication, if necessary and under strict medical control physician or obstetrician. If acetaminophen is not enough, you can use other drugs indicate that the professional knows.

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.
