Newborn ... with teeth!

Some babies are born with one or more "natal teeth" and erupted in others appear within thirty days of birth (neonatal teeth ").

In both cases, teeth are of little development in its wake up that can have mobility problems not usually present and are integrated with the other pieces temporary.

The greatest difficulty is for mom, but it seems that the baby should receive the pain it causes and learns to suckle without causing inconvenience.

How many hours of sleep babies need?

The dream is a state that evolves gradually with age. Thus, at six months, babies tend to sleep an average of 15 hours a day, 12 of them during the night and the rest spread over short periods of rest in the morning and afternoon. Gradually, the needs of sleep are reduced. At the same time, increases the duration of sleep at night, while the daytime decreases.

In this way, to meet the first year, many babies do not sleep more than 14 hours a day, mostly at night, and only do a little siesta after lunch. This, although it may be shortened, should not be deleted before the three years.

Care of the use of pacifiers

It is likely that when the baby break to mourn with the full force of his lungs, the mother was asked several things: Why are you crying? What will? ¿Hunger, thirst, cold, heat? Is it wet?

Childbirth does not hurt?

While there have always been attempts since to have an easy birth, no comprehensive methods have been developed to help nearly half of this century. The idea arose in the minds of the English physician Read served as a birth that, despite living in extremely precarious conditions, stating that "the confinement was not harm".

The women of this, of course, passed without the slightest problem, and this rare experience led to believe that Read only fear is the culprit of pain.
Fear creates muscle tension, and this pain. The suffering caused more fear, and fear more tension.

At the beginning of this vicious circle there is nothing more than a series of negative emotions. Read developed some techniques to overcome fear through explanatory talks about childbirth and relaxation.

At the same time, more or less, the Russians Platanov, Nicolaiev and Velvoski began using hypnosis to achieve painless childbirth. With the passage of time and would prefer to abandon this line to inform pregnant women about the whole process of childbirth. This aimed to eliminate their fears and negative perceptions and create positive conditioned reflexes. Thus was born the Russian school of obstetric psicoprofílaxis.

Another important figure in the preparation of the pregnant woman, Lamaze, learned this method at the beginning of the fifties and introduced it in France, adding relaxation and breathing in panting (currently sidelined).

In Argentina, Maternity Hospital British pioneered in this field. On the momentum of its then director, Dr. James Mac-Lean began its implementation in 1957. In that year there was another revolution: for the first time in this institution, a mother left the room at birth walking with her baby in her arms. A year earlier, Dr. Lamaze had issued an unforgettable way in the Argentine Medical Association.

During the first months the baby is not able to easily remove them, as they can not get the abdominal muscles in spontaneously.

That is why we put in place mechanisms known (he cries, shrinks the legs on the abdomen and paddling), they produce abdominal contraction and the elimination of are those gases. In these cases, the cries of the newborn does not indicate pain.

The newborn baby can see and hear?

Would I heard ...? Would I go ...?
Often wonder if your mom sees her son. And the answer is that not only looks but also listen and feel. From the moment of birth all the babies are trained to see and the best proof of this is that, before a stimulus bright flash, or remain with his eyes closed when there is plenty of light.

Around the second week can distinguish the face of the mother and, at the second or third month, continue moving objects. His hearing was already underway in the womb and, like the beating of the mother reassured, there are other sounds that disturbed.

Gas, in how to prevent kids

To prevent gases should feed the baby by putting semierguido, and ensuring that your nose is free so you can breathe well. Where once it was over, he puts on his shoulder and given a few pats on the back, without problems may expel the air that has swallowed.

There are babies during the first three months of almost non-stop crying, especially at night. In most cases, is not an explanation for this malaise, and it is said that the child has colic.
It is more common in babies who drink bottle that breastfed infants.

These children are flatus and eliminate many gases. Sometimes, if you change the lactose-free milk on the other, better. But it also may be submitted by cramping another series of causes, such as starvation, overwork or food insecurity. If parents are tense and anxious, the child will show more restless and more vulnerable to these uncontrollable crying.

Therefore, we must listen and reassure parents to take away his anxiety, explaining that they have their babies is normal, frequent and that will gradually disappearing without leaving sequels.

The disappointment of childbirth

But while hardly talk about it, there are also plenty of mothers who did not feel seized by the excitement to meet their outbreaks.
A fact quite normal, according to specialists. Why? The baby was born that has nothing to do with who has dreamed. Indeed, the flesh and blood is neither smiles nor strong. It is weeping, plaintiff has wrinkles and its ugly traits that are more harmonious.

The reality often turns into a disappointment tip that a sharp downturn to maternal self-esteem. Many times, when he saw this creature so young and weak, the esteem of women (in psychological terms, Narcicista) was damaged because it was unable to have that child dreamed.

What happens when the child is premature or suffers a disease? Specialists note that, if the newborn is brought to the incubator, as is often the case with those born prematurely, the mother is so afraid of losing that avoids maintain close contact with him. This should not be interpreted as a lack of love for the newborn, but as a defense mechanism.

In case of incurable disease, such as Down syndrome, a sense of failure experienced by the mother is very big. But, once accepted the problem,
frustration gives way to a strong protective instinct and a desire to fight impressive.

For several years now, the trend of midwives, gynecologists and neonatologists is that both the father and mother have contact as soon as possible with the newborn. It is known that in the first days of life will lay the foundation for the future relationship of parent and child.

In childbirth establishing the emotional link, which will promote good communication between family members. Here's how it will develop attachment.

Placenta previa

It is located near the exit, below the baby.
Do not confuse the "previous placenta" with "placenta previa." The term refers to the previous location of the placenta over the baby: to be below him (with the pregnant woman in standing position) and it should leave first and then make way for baby. Previous only means that it is located in the uterus wall facing the pubis.

Different Ways
If completely blocked the exit, it is an "occlusive All"; if he does part of an "occlusive partial or marginal." In the latter two cases, the baby may be born leaving the placenta to get out of hand.
The placenta previa can cause bleeding during pregnancy or childbirth.

In the case of occlusive total imposes caesarean section. Many marginal placenta previa will run upwards during pregnancy and then cease to be the fourth or fifth month.

With regard to the placenta "above", is named as to which are attached to the anterior wall of the uterus (which coincides with the belly of the pregnant). It can be held high and nothing after, or are very low and after.
The same applies to those that adhere to the wall or the back side left and right. Those that are located on the roof of the parent (which are among the most common), obviously because they will never be pre definitely above the baby.

The desired moment arrived and the baby is already at home. But now it begins a period of many changes and extra work, mainly for the mom. Let us see which the most important are and how to confront them.

To take care of the points

Gestation - Control and Cares

In spite of the dysfunctions more or less intense and always transitory that are given in the mother-to-be's body, if it has been tried to treat them appropriately, the pregnancy is a phase of the woman's life that we must consider normal, the woman's biology is directed to perpetuate the specie and everything that makes in its favor it is a little. The pregnant woman from the first moments, it should trust the physician and to follow their commissions. The fact of trusting of the common sense or of the family test it exposes to end in big errors. The contrast with the previous generation that the physician in the middle of disaster, today only called is every more exceptional day that a woman arrives to the moment of the childbirth without book credit visited a gynecologist, at least in the big cities or in the industrialized fields; in the field, in the agricultural fields of many areas, the affluence is already pettier, but this fields are in fact those that provide a more high level of maternal and fetal mortality. It is of wanting that they still multiply not the prenatal clinics in these fields modernized, and that to them all the mothers still go remiss in recognizing the magnitude of the advances that you/they have been achieved in the care to the pregnant woman.

The first query should be a month, or to the two menstruation ullages to discard from the first moment any precocious alteration and to teach the first hygienic standards. The other visits should be monthly, being of special interest in the last weeks. During these visits, a mutual trust should settle down between the pregnant one and the gynecologist, undergoing the patient the recognition of its general state, of the normality of the different apparatuses (respiratory, digestive, urinal, etc.), and to the appraisal of different analysis, among which are indispensable the blood type, the factor RH, the urination exam, the arterial pressure, the control of weight and the different ultrasounds. Possibly debit side to add the red blood count, the determination of the quantity of sugar in the blood and the reactions for the diagnostic of the possible lúes or syphilis.

It is indispensable the woman's serene attitude in front of their pregnancy. In the woman's life, the pregnancy and the childbirth they represent a moment emotional resemblance, or maybe general ledger, to that of the puberty or that of the menopause, and the psychic behavior in front of that state depends on the sexual education, of the family (a lot of disastrous times) attitude, of the cultural level and of the happiness or sadness with which the event is accepted. The woman must have the convincing that she should be mother and that the childbirth is not any secret, and it must abort the fear to complications and the pain. A relaxed woman that allows to behave confidently for her gynecologist that has learned how to breathe that has the affection and the husband's understanding or couple, makes much easier the moment of the childbirth, and stiller knowing that the obstetrician has today powerful means of help that they facilitate his work and they redound in the mother's benefit and of the son.
