I’ve sat down to write this multiple times, but I’m always afraid it just won’t express how absolutely WONDERFUL Lisa is! So here goes – you won’t regret hiring her!
Lisa has been watching our twin girlssince they were newborns, and she has been an absolute lifesaver. The best parent’s assistant you could ask for. She is fantastic with our babies (who just adore her) and loves them as if they were her own. She is gentle, calm, loving and patient. I love how she’s always coming up with new games or activities with them as they grow, and she is always willing to try whatever new methods or changes we have for the girls.
She fits in really well with our laid-back personalities, but I know she’d be great in any household, and would get along great with anyone (she’s met both my in-laws and my parents, and has charmed them all!).
Lisa is incredibly easy to communicate with – I consider this to be a huge priority, since life with kids is so hectic. Lisa gets that we’re busy, and she’s always a phone call or text away. She responds so promptly, and is nearly always available for last-minute scheduling. She’s seriously been our life-saver on more than one occasion!…

FAQs for finding a babysitter

What is a babysitter?

A babysitter is someone you can hire to temporarily care for children. It’s common to hear a babysitter referred to as a “sitter”. There are many babysitter duties that a babysitter can take on such as helping with homework, light cleaning, supervising swimming, or driving the kids to after school activities. Babysitters can help take care of children of all ages.

How much do babysitters charge?

The average rate for babysitters on Care.com as of July, 2023 is $16.78 per hour. A babysitter’s rate will fluctuate depending on where you live, the babysitter’s level of experience, and the number of children they will look after. Other factors that can also influence the cost of care include the need for additional babysitter duties, specialized care, and overnight care. The Care.com childcare calculator can help you calculate your child care costs.

What’s the difference between a nanny vs babysitter?

How do you know when you want to find a nanny or a babysitter? This depends on your caregiving needs. Nannies usually have more responsibilities than a babysitter does and often earn a consistent weekly or monthly salary, whereas you typically hire babysitters on an as-needed basis. Families who need consistent care during the workweek will likely want to hire a nanny and may hire a separate sitter to watch their children on the occasional night or weekend. If you’re looking for a nanny or babysitter, Care.com can help you find someone trustworthy.

Are babysitters background checked?

Babysitters on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck. Sitters who complete this background check will have a badge on their profile displaying the date we ran the background check. While CareCheck is a good start, we strongly recommend that you take additional steps to hire a babysitter safely, such as interviewing candidates, checking references, and running your own background check. Visit our Safety Center to learn more.

Zina is a treasure, and it is a blessing I found her to help care for my mother for 4-5 years, until her death at 101. . Mom had dementia, vision problems and very frail. Zina did, basically, everything. Whatmade her really special is that Zina did not have to be told every little thing to do. She saw what was needed, and took care of it. Having that much initiative and understanding of what was needed, and then doing it, is very rare in my experience. Plus compassion & common sense. Mom was not easy to handle, but Zina could make her laugh and coax her into doing things (like bathing or eating) Mom needed to do. She was always on time, and willingly worked extra when needed. She saw needs quickly, and did them herself, if possible, or told me they needed to be done. She does speak up about her charges’ needs. I was grateful for all her advice and help. We were so fortunate to have her.

How to find a job as a nanny abroad

Blogs › Blog cyberyak ›

The wave of emigration from Russia, Ukraine and the CIS countries is gaining momentum every year. People move with children, and often in new countries, a nanny in the absence of grandmothers is an absolute necessity if both parents work.

And if earlier parents almost always tried to find a Russian-speaking nanny first, now they increasingly want their child abroad to have a local nanny and a local school.

Families who are just about to leave are ready to look for a Russian-speaking nanny and a school to protect the child from stress, to make the move more comfortable for the child. Especially families who are traveling for a while or have not yet fully decided on their future plans and want to see and try at the beginning. They are worried that the child does not miss the school program, does not forget pure Russian speech.

Here the advantage is on the side of the Russian-speaking nanny, Russian schools and kindergartens abroad.

Another category is made up of families that are going forever: parents are no longer so worried about the school program, but at the same time they do not want their child to forget their native language. A fairly standard situation is when a baby was born abroad already in immigration and the native language for him may become the local language, since he will speak it more than Russian.

After the move, parents’ views may change: at first they worry about how to protect the child from all sorts of stresses of the move, and then they realize that the child needs to master the new language environment painlessly, to find friends.

What language should be spoken in the family to make it easier and more comfortable for the child? Which school, kindergarten, nanny to choose? A nanny who knows both languages ​​can take the edge off the issue. What can be the advantage of a Russian-speaking nanny?

It is not uncommon for children to learn the local language but forget Russian. Not everyone agrees with this situation, parents still want their children to be fluent in their native language, love it, read books and poems in it, and know their culture. This is very understandable. Here the help of a Russian-speaking nanny, a governess is invaluable, because this is an opportunity not to forget your native language, to speak it without difficulties, without an accent and additional lessons, loads.

Most parents and experienced Russian language teachers abroad believe that the main thing is not to discourage the child from speaking their native language. And with a desire, everything will follow: reading, and maybe even lessons. Bright memories, priceless moments of childhood are indispensable in this regard, if the family wants to preserve their native language.

There are families in which Russian remains the language of communication at home, and children communicate with friends in the local language, there are a lot of such families.

It turns out that in order for a nanny to get a job abroad in a Russian-speaking family, you need to have the following skills:

  • Speak fluent Russian without an accent.
  • It is desirable to have a pedagogical or humanitarian higher education as confirmation of your professional level.
  • Knowing the language of the country you are moving to, at least at a basic level, will remove the parents’ fears that it will be difficult for you to go out into the city with your child.
  • Have the possibility of legal status – in this case, nannies with a European passport and a residence permit / permanent residence receive a significant advantage.
  • Have a valid passport and visa for work on a rotational basis.
  • Have a driver’s license, because abroad there is often a different public transport system, or there is none.

The more points you qualify, the more likely you are to be selected over a local nanny or other candidate.

Mostly families living abroad are looking for a nanny on our website, so by registering the application and filling it out properly, that is, by completing it, you significantly increase your chances of finding your employer.

Babysitter or nanny: who is better to hire? | Articles | Our psychologist

The very word “babysitter” *, as it is easy to understand, came to us from English-speaking countries, where the practice of temporary (hourly) babysitting is widespread. For example, in the United States, teenagers and students often work part-time as babysitters – this is a legal and respected way to earn pocket money. American grandparents do not sit with their grandchildren, they are busy with their own business, travel and hobbies. On the other hand, according to local law, children should not be left alone until they reach a certain age.

Thus, the social situation itself is such that one cannot do without hiring an assistant (we say “helpers”, but young men also work as babysitters in the USA). They are invited for the weekend if the “baby’s” parents are away somewhere for the weekend; or for the evening (when they go on a visit or to the theater). The institution of looking after and accompanying little Americans is extremely developed, and it never occurs to anyone to turn to relatives with a request to babysit when you can pay a few dollars to a neighbor girl or a classmate of your eldest son.

In our country, there is also such a practice, the concept of “babysitter” is gradually taking root (even under other names). And if earlier such a service was automatically classified as a luxury, now it is available to almost any family. And the need, in comparison with Soviet times, has grown significantly. Grandmothers are changing, they no longer want to devote themselves to educating the younger generation; mothers work, fathers are busy from morning to evening. In their free time, people want to relax a bit, go to a restaurant or a movie, be alone with their spouse. All this is absolutely normal, and does not need excuses. There is only one question left to solve: which home staff is right for your family.

Of course, a permanent nanny (and especially a live-in nanny) has a lot of advantages.

Do Men Go To Baby Showers? Modern-Day Traditions And Practices 2023

Not that long ago, a baby shower consisted of just the mother-to-be and her female family members and friends. Men typically did not go to baby showers, and the traditional baby shower was a time for just the mother of the baby and her girlfriends to celebrate.

How about in this modern-day? Do men go to baby showers?

Yes, the rules have started to change and are often thrown out the window altogether. Co-ed baby showers are a regular thing and it essentially comes down to the preference of the expectant parents.

Fathers attend baby showers, and even male friends and family members go to baby showers to enjoy the celebration, play baby shower games, and bring baby shower gifts.

The Co-Ed Baby Shower

If you are considering a co-ed baby shower, the first thing you need to do is check with the mother to be and find out how she feels about male guests. Ask if she is okay with all-male guests attending, if she only wants the dad-to-be to be there, or no males at all.

While baby showers do not have to include any men, they also do not have to stray from tradition, and some families like to stick to tradition. So before you order or print out baby shower invitations, be sure to check with the expectant mother and find out what she prefers.

Baby Showers for Dad to Be

Also known as a diaper party or a wipes party, men are now organizing their own time to celebrate. Believe it or not, men enjoy celebrating baby showers, too, and can have their own array of fun shower games, gift-giving, and time with guy friends.

If your male friend is expecting a new baby soon, and you think he may want to celebrate, consider asking the parents-to-be if they would prefer a co-ed baby shower or a shower just for the dad-to-be. This can be separate from the traditional baby showers enjoyed by the soon-to-be mother.

He can invite his male family members and friends, and the new parents can celebrate the upcoming baby separately.

How to Plan a Co-Ed Baby Shower

There are many ways to plan co-ed baby showers once you get the green light from the new mom and dad. While men go to baby showers when they are explicitly invited, they still often assume that their wife or significant other is the only one invited.

Getting a guest list from both of the parents to be, complete with names, can help you address the baby shower invitations so that you can directly include the male guests and the females.

Co-Ed Baby Shower Ideas

Men will more readily attend baby showers if they feel comfortable. Getting to know the soon-to-be father will help you decide what sorts of fun games and activities you should plan and what kind of flow your friend’s baby shower should have.

Tweak the Games

If you make the games played more fun and less traditional, you will have more men attending baby showers. While you may luck out and have some really laid-back men on the guest list, men go to baby showers to have fun, and a co-ed shower means that the men attending will need some involvement. You will have more luck getting the guys involved if you tailor the games to be more high-energy and funny.

Baby Bottle Chugging Contest

A fun game you can play with all of the guests, but the men will especially enjoy, is a baby bottle chugging contest. You can also keep this game exclusive to any male who attends. Get some bottles, complete with slow flow nipples, fill them with milk, water, or any other drink, and have them race to see who can empty the bottle first.

Stroller Races

Stroller races are fun for all, and when you factor in men’s attendance, it can be an absolute riot watching them compete to win. Invite men to strap a baby doll into a stroller and race from a starting point to an endpoint. You can up the stakes by also having them stop to change a diaper, take the baby out of the stroller and swaddle it, or make any modifications.

More fathers playing this game means more friendly competition.

Do Men Go To Baby Showers: Traditional Ceremony with Guys Allowed

When you invite men to attend the whole process of a traditional baby shower, you need to keep in mind that while they may come to support your growing family, they often feel uncomfortable listening to or discussing the intimate details of pregnancy and childbirth.

While it is fine to hold a traditional shower, especially if you want to stick closer to tradition because it is your first baby, it may be good to give guys their own area or space.

If guys bring drinks and are allowed their own space, they will be more likely to enjoy the shower, and women will not have to worry about entertaining them the entire time. As long as someone fills food plates and keeps the drinks flowing, men seldom mind attending a shower.

How long is a baby shower?

Most baby showers last two to four hours, depending upon the preference of the expectant mother and father. They are usually held in the late morning or early afternoon and feature snacks, desserts, or a light meal.

The baby shower is often held indoors in a rented hall, a church basement, or someone’s home. Still, they can also be held outdoors, in parks, or anywhere that can hold the number of people going and is appropriate for the season and the weather.

Why Both Expecting Parents Want to Be There

There are many benefits to both parents being present at the baby shower. Whoever attends the baby shower is a fluid idea, and the parents’ choice is up to the parents. However, the father being there, along with his friends and family, or support system, offers many specific benefits.

Couples baby shower

The parents who celebrate together can help the father bond with his baby while the baby is still in the mom’s belly. Research has shown that a father who bonds with his baby and is an active part of his children’s lives greatly benefits any family.

Men who attend baby showers are more likely to provide child care, be more active in postnatal care for their spouse, and feel a more immediate bond with the baby when born. This is because he is not left out of the celebration. He is included, and the fact that he will be a father soon is something he can start to process.

Men Shouldn’t Miss Out on the Fun Parts of Pregnancy

They are there when you are puking. They go to the gas station or store at three in the morning because you want ice cream.

The really good ones sit up in bed with you when you are convinced insomnia and heartburn will kill you. Do not let them miss out on the fun parts of pregnancy.

Ladies may have to cope with morning sickness, the swelling feet, the growing belly, the contractions, and the birth. But do not forget that their partners are often the wingmen to this, and they deserve the chance to celebrate.

You’ll Get More from Your Gift Registry

If you invite every female relative to your shower, that is great. They will all have a great time, most of them will bring baby shower gifts, and you will get some fun girl time away from the men.

However, if you invite every family member, regardless of gender, to your shower, you will get more gifts, and the men in your family will feel more included in the shower.

While this may seem really materialistic, think of how special some grandpas, uncles, and cousins will feel when invited to the shower and get a say in what gift is selected. You will likely end up with some great gifts that are thoughtful and practical, and your male friends and family members will feel included in your baby’s life before your little one even arrives.

Easier Scheduling

In this busy world, where more and more people are working more hours and longer shifts, it can be challenging to throw two separate baby showers so that the father gets his own celebration. Having one baby shower that includes both parents is more convenient, less expensive to plan, and will ensure everyone can attend one baby shower.

Mutual Friends

When you have two separate baby showers for the men and the ladies, it is more difficult for everyone to attend, especially when most couples have mutual friends who are also together as couples.

Couples who have children and work may have a hard time finding child care for their children, getting off work, or pushing off other plans if there are two baby showers they must attend. This runs the risk of one of the people having to decline the invitation, and that person is usually the man.

When the man cannot go because his wife or significant other is attending the female baby shower, that leaves the dad-to-be with less support system but often cannot be helped.

Having just one baby shower that is co-ed means that both members of a couple who are mutual friends of the expectant parents can attend, everyone can have fun, and it will not cost an arm and a leg to have separate celebrations.

Conclusion

Do men go to baby showers? Sure, if you invite them!

New Meeting Trend: Baby Shower

A few weeks ago we told you about this new trend of women’s gatherings to celebrate the birth of a baby and also entertain the expectant mother with gifts, fun and baking: “Baby shower ” As they say in the USA, Party diapers as they say in Argentina or “Baby shower” as they call it in Mexico.

But organizing baby shower is not easy at all. As in organizing any party, from a birthday to a wedding, there are different moments that should not be forgotten.

En WomenwithStyle.com We are here to help you. If you are a mother who organizes it, or a mother’s friend who wants to give her a big surprise by organizing this baby shower, then don’t miss the following . ..

Things to do:

  • Set the date and time. Most baby showers are held before the baby is born. Don’t do it too early as part of the fun is playing with the mom-to-be, seeing her belly and sharing your pregnancy experience. As a rule, a baby shower is held towards the end of pregnancy.
  • Make a guest list. If you are close to future dads, you will have a general idea of ​​who they would like to invite. Consult with guests of honor or with the heroes themselves, who to invite and who not. Excluding people or including people that the main characters don’t want to include can be a source of trouble.
  • Set a budget. How much will you spend, between whom will the costs be divided? This is very important because the type of event you decide to host may depend on this data. If your budget is limited, you can ask each of the participants to bring something to eat and drink.
  • With or without men? Most showers are for women only, but men’s parties are becoming more frequent. The decision most of all depends on the type of party you want to organize, the number of guests and the wishes of the parents-to-be.
  • Surprise? When it comes to a surprise party, think twice before making a decision. Although the moment when the protagonist discovers the surprise and all the secret preparations around him is very sweet and funny, not everyone likes surprises and may feel uncomfortable. Also, if you include future parents in the organization, it will be easier to get the desired result and ensure that no one is left out of the party.
  • Invitations. Send invitations early, but not too early. A couple of weeks before that is enough. Always indicate whether the child is the first, second or third, and the gender of the child, if available. This will make it easier to choose gifts.
  • Food. Will it be breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea or dinner? Order a catering service according to the party if you are thinking about using it, or start distributing tasks among the organizers. The ability to delegate authority can be the key to your salvation.
  • Think jewelry. This could be from baby, teddy bear, girl or boy color, etc. Include details such as scented oils, candles, and background music if space allows.

Before choosing a topic, you should analyze the guest list, the number of people who will be present, and even their style and personality. For example, if you are dealing with a large number of guests, you may want to avoid very intimate or personal topics. If parents already know, the most common is to use the theme of the baby’s gender and blue or pink as the main reason, but there are many more ideas.

Daytime thought about the expectant mother. Soon, all the attention of parents and relatives will be focused on the child. So why not throw a party for mom? Foot massages during a party or gifts thought up for mom are always welcome. You can include a takeaway meal, a movie tour, or a certificate for a nail service.

Idea?

Diapers can be a baby shower theme – invitations and decorations, all filled with diapers everywhere. Emphasize in the invitation that if you bring a pack of diapers with you, you will be entered into an important basket draw. Organize an impressive basket of wines, cheeses, sausages, some of those that everyone would like to have. Each guest must bring a pack of diapers to participate. After the drawing, the expectant mother will be grateful that she does not buy diapers for the first months of her baby.

Circular Shower: Benefits, Therapeutic Effects

Contents:

Principle of operation and types

Benefit

Indications and contraindications

Circular shower is a popular hydro-procedure, which is used to improve skin tone, tone and strengthen the body as a whole. It is quite simple: jets of water are supplied to the human body under pressure (about one and a half atmospheres). The liquid envelops the body from all sides, forming something like a mantle. The water pressure can be adjusted according to the wishes of the patient. This also applies to the temperature of the water: it can be pleasantly warm and scaldingly cool. A popular option is that the water temperature changes right during the procedure. In all cases, the positive impact of the circular shower is high.

Principle of action and types of procedure

A circular shower (aka Swiss or needle) is carried out in the shower cabin or on top of a special platform on the person lying below. Small streams of water form a directed stream, which massages the human skin. The patient may feel a little discomfort during the first procedure, but these sensations are quickly replaced by real bliss. There are the following types of circular shower:

  • Warm (up to 35 degrees Celsius). The water temperature is comfortable, the pressure is standard. This option is indicated for problems with the nervous system and to increase the tone of the whole organism.

  • Cold (up to 25 degrees Celsius). Shock therapy for maximum effect. This option, although effective, is not suitable for everyone.

  • Combined. Both cold and warm water alternately affect the human body. The contrast effect also gives excellent results, but the decision on the type of circular shower used should only be made by the attending physician or an experienced specialist after talking with the patient.

The first procedure usually lasts no more than five minutes. Gradually, the time increases, and the last sessions can be up to 20 minutes, taking into account the individual feelings of the person. After the procedure, it is recommended to spend up to five minutes at rest, changing into warm, dry clothes. The course of the circular shower is carried out up to two times a year. Two hours before the shower, you can not eat.

Benefit

The visible and tangible effect of the procedure is noticeable after the first sessions. Irritability decreases, tone increases, vitality strengthens and sleep improves. Circular shower has proven itself in the fight against depression, chronic fatigue and cellulite. It tightens the skin and stimulates collagen production. Circular shower removes toxins and helps the body get rid of toxins.

The therapeutic benefits of a circular shower are also expressed in improving the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, the vegetovascular system, stimulating the immune system, relaxing the body and reducing pain syndromes (according to
Wikipedia).

Indications and contraindications

For maximum effect, it is recommended to complete a full course of 10-15 procedures. As for the rest time between circular shower sessions, everything is individual. Indications include depression, stress, anxiety, nervous exhaustion, overweight, age-related skin changes.

What is baby-led weaning and what foods are best for it?

Baby-led weaning is a way to introduce solid foods to babies. Instead of spoon-feeding baby cereal and purees, you’ll skip straight to finger foods and let your baby feed themself. The best foods for baby-led weaning are large pieces of soft foods that are easy to grab and chew, like banana spears, baked apple slices, thin slices of toast, and soft-cooked meat.

Baby-led weaning (BLW) is a method for starting your baby on solids. Instead of spoon-feeding them mushy cereals and purees, you put large chunks of soft food directly on the highchair tray or table, and let your baby grab the food and feed themself. It’s called “baby-led” because you let your baby pick up the food and eat at their own pace, instead of controlling how much and how quickly they eat.

Just as with traditional spoon-feeding, your baby will continue to get most of their nutrition from breast milk or formula until they get used to eating solid food (usually around their first birthday).

Check out our videos to see how it’s done:

  • Baby-led weaning: Signs your baby is ready
  • Baby-led weaning: Getting started
  • Baby-led weaning: 9 great finger foods
  • Baby-led weaning: Is gagging normal?

When to start baby-led weaning

Most babies are ready to start BLW when they’re about 6 months old, though some may need more time. Your baby will give you a few signs they’re ready for solid foods: If they can sit up without support, can grab and put objects in their mouth, and open their mouth when food is offered, they’re probably ready to begin exploring table foods.

Keep in mind that BLW may not be right for babies with special needs or babies who are unable to pick up and chew food on their own. Talk with your baby’s doctor before trying BLW, especially if:

  • Your baby has special needs and can’t chew very well.
  • Your baby has difficulty picking up food and moving it to their mouth.
  • Your baby was born prematurely. Premature babies have an adjusted developmental milestone schedule, so they may not be ready for solid food at 6 months – and they have different caloric needs in their first year.

How to start baby-led weaning

If your baby shows signs of readiness and their doctor says it’s okay to try BLW, here are some tips for getting started:

  • It will take your baby time to learn to eat solids, and in the meantime, they’ll still be getting their nutrition primarily from breast milk or formula. BLW sessions can focus on fun and exploration. If your baby’s hungry, it might be best to give them a bottle or nurse them before offering solid food, so they don’t get frustrated.
  • BLW can be messy! Manage the mess with a large bib or smock. Placing a mat under your baby’s highchair can make for easier cleanup, too.
  • Make sure you or another adult is always watching carefully during meals and knows what to do if your baby starts choking. As long as you’re watching them, BLW doesn’t create a higher risk of choking.
  • When it’s time to feed your baby, sitting upright in a highchair, not leaning back, is the safest choice.
  • Offer your baby soft or well-cooked food cut into sticks or strips that are at least as long as their fist, not bite-size pieces. They’ll likely try to hold the food in their fists and smash it into their mouth at first. Over time, they’ll learn to grip the food between their thumb and forefinger.
  • Don’t offer your baby foods that can be choking hazards, like nuts, grapes, popcorn, and foods cut into coins, including sausages and hot dogs.
  • Make sure your baby’s food passes the “squish test” by checking whether you can squish it on the roof of your mouth with your tongue. That means no raw vegetables and no hard, raw fruit (such as apples) or citrus fruit (unless each segment is peeled). The exception is pieces of food that are large and fibrous enough that small pieces don’t break off when sucked or chewed. For example, soft-cooked meat is okay, but cheese sticks are not.
  • Put food directly on the highchair tray or table in front of your baby. (Bowls and plates will just end up on the floor.)
  • Introduce new foods one at a time. Just as with spoon-feeding, wait three to five days after introducing a new food before trying the next one. That way, if your baby has an allergic reaction, you’ll know which food probably caused it.
  • Eat as a family whenever possible. Babies learn to eat by observing and imitating other family members. Family mealtimes can also help your baby feel like part of the group.

As with many other parenting approaches, what works for some families won’t necessarily work for yours. Some families strictly follow the BLW approach, while others do a combination of BLW and spoon-feeding. For example, you could spoon-feed your baby purees and mashed food sometimes, but allow them to feed themself finger foods (like the ones listed below) at other times.

Good baby-led weaning foods

Some foods that are good to use with BLW include:

  • Well-cooked vegetable sticks, including steamed carrots, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and beets
  • Food with interesting shapes and textures, such as steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets, and slices of ripe avocado
  • Soft, ripe fruits, including banana, papaya, pear, kiwi, melon, and soft-cooked apple
  • Large strips of poached chicken or fully cooked steak. Babies won’t be able to chew and swallow meat like steak, but they can gnaw and suck on it to get the flavor.
  • Whole-grain or vegetable pasta in a shape that’s easy to grab, like fusilli or penne
  • Rice rolled into balls
  • Lentil patties
  • Salt-free rice cakes
  • Pieces of tofu

As your baby progresses, they can start learning to dip their food chunks into hummus, unsweetened yogurt, and guacamole.

Gagging and choking in baby-led weaning

One concern about giving babies whole food to eat is whether 6-month-old babies are developmentally ready to chew and swallow chunks of food and whether these chunks – even when they’re soft – are choking hazards.

Research suggests that baby-led weaning isn’t associated with a greater risk of choking. As long as you’re watching your baby while they eat and giving them easy-to-eat foods, baby-led weaning is safe.

Whether they’re being spoon-fed or feeding themselves, many babies gag when they first start solids, and this can be disconcerting or even frightening.

Gagging is a normal reflex babies have as they learn to eat solids. Gagging brings food forward inside your baby’s mouth so they can chew it more or try to swallow a smaller amount. As they get more experience with solid food, your baby will gag less often.

It’s also normal for babies to gag as they get used to new flavors and textures. If your baby gags a lot, remember it’s a temporary stage that your baby will get through. (If your baby’s gagging doesn’t improve on its own, talk with their doctor. There are some babies who need feeding therapy, usually with a speech therapist or occupational therapist.)

Here’s how to recognize the difference between gagging and choking:

  • A child who is gagging may push their tongue forward or out of their mouth and do a retching movement to try to bring food forward. Their eyes may water. They may cough or even vomit. Let your child continue to cough because that’s the most effective way to resolve the problem.
  • A child who is choking is unable to cry, cough, or gasp. They may make odd noises or no sound at all while opening their mouth. You may need to do back blows or chest thrusts to dislodge the blockage. It’s a good idea to take an infant first aid class so you know what to do if your baby chokes.

The pros and cons of baby-led weaning

Many experts say more research is needed on baby-led weaning, but some studies have found it may have the following benefits:

  • Healthy eating: Since babies feed themselves, BLW allows them to learn how to listen to their hunger cues and stop eating when they aren’t hungry anymore, rather than relying on their parents to tell them when to stop eating. This may produce healthier eaters. Allowing babies to explore different food flavors and textures may make them more adventurous eaters who are more likely to eat a broad range of foods as they grow up.
  • Skill development: By trying to grasp and eat chunks of food, infants practice fine motor skills. BLW allows babies to practice eye-hand coordination and picking up pieces of food using the pincer grasp.
  • Can be easier for parents: Though you still need to supervise your baby closely, you won’t need to spoon-feed your baby with BLW. Your baby can be part of your family’s regular dinnertime flow.  

There are also potential downsides to baby-led weaning. Some researchers are concerned about:

  • Low calorie intake: Because babies are responsible for moderating their own eating, and because young babies aren’t very experienced at feeding themselves, they may not eat as much food in their early months of BLW compared to spoon-feeding.
  • Nutritional deficiencies: BLW babies may end up deficient in iron, especially if they don’t drink formula, because they don’t get the iron-fortified cereal that spoon-fed babies are often given.

It takes babies a while to get used to solid food. To ensure adequate nutrition, continue breastfeeding or bottle-feeding your baby during their first year, even after they start eating solid food. (Your baby’s main source of nutrients will be breast milk or formula until they’re about a year old.) As they learn to eat solid food, they’ll need less breast milk or formula.

If you’re not sure how much your baby needs to eat and when, check out our age-by-age guide to feeding.

Your baby’s doctor will keep track of your baby’s growth at well-child visits, so talk with them if you’re concerned about how much your baby eats or weighs.

What is baby-led feeding?

Baby-led feeding is often just another name for baby-led weaning. “Weaning” has different meanings in different places – in the United Kingdom, where baby-led weaning started, it refers to the process of introducing solid foods to your baby. But in the United States, it most often refers to ending breast- or bottle-feeding.

Because of that, baby-led weaning is sometimes referred to as “baby-led feeding” in the U.S.

For some, the terms are synonymous. For others, though, baby-led feeding is the unofficial name of a slightly different approach that blends traditional spoon-feeding and baby-led weaning techniques. That might mean offering purees when it’s easier and faster, like at daycare or when your family is on the go, and then allowing your baby to eat soft table foods and finger foods at home. This method is also sometimes called modified baby-led weaning.

Baby-led weaning tips

There’s no official guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) on baby-led weaning, but many experts say it’s safe as long as your baby is developmentally ready to start eating solids. Here are some tips from experts on using BLW:

  • Be flexible and be willing to use whatever method works best for your child.
  • Make sure the food is developmentally appropriate for your child.
  • Food for 6-month-olds doesn’t need to be pureed, but it should be the texture, consistency, and size that the child can handle.
  • Stay nearby and watch your child eat.
  • Be mindful of choking hazards – don’t give your baby big globs of sticky foods like peanut butter or hard foods like raw carrots and apples.
  • Offer a food several times before deciding your baby doesn’t like it. Sometimes, it just takes a little while for your baby to get used to a new flavor or texture.

And here are some comments on BLW from parents who used the method and liked it:

“[Baby-led weaning was] one of the best decisions we made with our daughter. She’s a fantastic eater and eats a great variety of food. I also believe it made her a great restaurant eater. We always got compliments on how well-behaved she was, and people were always shocked to see a 7-month-old feeding herself in a restaurant.”

— Michele

“BLW worked great for us. I have never felt that because of BLW my son wasn’t eating healthy foods. In fact, I thought the opposite because he wasn’t getting anything processed.”

— Heather

“We started baby-led weaning my little guy when he was 6 months old, and we’ve never looked back. We were really nervous at first about him choking, but in the four months we’ve been doing this, he hasn’t choked once! I’m a huge advocate for BLW. My son will eat anything that I put in front of him and is so excited to try new foods.”

— Mandy

“I love baby-led weaning, but it’s probably not a magic bullet. I like it because it has freed up a lot of time for me. (I don’t have to sit and spoon-feed at every meal.) And it allowed my son to be independent in choosing and eating food. It worked for us because my son was developmentally normal, at a normal weight, and had good manual dexterity.”

— Laura

The Different Stages Of Baby Food

Our guide will help you figure out when your baby is ready to start solids, which foods to serve and to avoid, and the products you’ll need to make mealtimes easy and fun.

Introducing solids is an exciting time for most parents – they just can’t wait to see the look on their baby’s face when they try avocado mush, sweet potatoes or sweet banana for the first time! But on the flip side, figuring out when their little one is ready to start eating and which foods are safe to start with can be a bit daunting. Typically, introducing baby food can be broken up into four different levels.

Here are the baby food stages and ages:

  • Stage 1: Single-ingredient purees with a thin consistency (4–6 months)
  • Stage 2: Multiple-ingredient purees with a thicker consistency (6–8 months)
  • Stage 3: Blended foods with chunks or soft finger foods (9–12 months)

The following recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) take the guesswork out of the process and go into more detail about the different stages and timing.

 

When can babies eat baby food?

Your baby may be ready anytime between the ages of four and six months, but should definitely be eating solids by six months. Signs that it’s time to change your baby’s diet include when your baby:

  • can hold their head up when sitting in a high chair.
  • opens their mouth when you offer food.
  • no longer pushes the food back out of their mouth with their tongue and are able to swallow it.
  • has doubled their birth weight and weighs at least 13 pounds

Again, by six months of age, babies should be eating solid foods because their iron stores go down and they no longer get the iron they need from breastmilk or formula alone.

Note: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends breastfeeding as the sole source of nutrition for the first six months and continuing to breastfeed after introducing solid food until at least 12 months. While the AAP recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, not every baby is exclusively breastfed and some may be ready for solids earlier than others.

Which baby foods should be introduced first?

Commercial baby cereals are often introduced first, but the AAP says there’s no medical evidence that there’s an advantage to introducing solids in a particular order. While babies do have a natural preference for sweet foods, there isn’t any research to support the commonly held view that offering fruit first will make them reject vegetables.

For your baby’s first foods you may choose to start with commercial rice cereals, homemade brown rice cereal, or homemade pureed veggies or fruit from the food processor. Start by offering half a teaspoon of puree, which you can mix with breast milk or formula for a smoother consistency. If your baby turns away the first time you try, don’t force it — just try again in a few days.

Once your baby is used to one food, you can gradually start offering other foods. But only offer one new food at a time so you can identify which one is the culprit if your baby has an allergic reaction or an upset tummy.

Within a few months, your little one’s daily diet should include a variety of healthy foods, such as meat, fish, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, eggs, and full-fat cheese and yogurt.

 

When can I give my baby finger foods?

As soon as a baby can sit upright and bring their hands to their mouth, they’re ready to start eating some finger foods. There’s even a new school of thought known as baby-led weaning (BLW) that advocates skipping pureed food altogether and allowing children to feed themselves finger foods as soon as they start eating solids. BLW is very popular in the UK and Australia, but it’s only starting to emerge in the U.S.

The important thing to remember when introducing finger foods at any age is that the food should be soft, easy to swallow and cut into small pieces. Good choices include soft, steamed vegetables, small pieces of banana, well-cooked pasta and scrambled eggs. You should avoid foods that pose a choking hazard, such as nuts, hard fruit, raw vegetables and popcorn.

If you follow these guidelines and supervise them at all times while they’re eating, they’re no more likely to choke than babies who are fed pureed foods, according to a study published in Pediatrics in 2016.

 

Are there any foods to avoid?

While there’s no evidence that waiting to introduce allergy-causing foods such as peanuts, dairy, soy, eggs and fish beyond the age of four to six months prevents food allergies, it’s wise to hold off if your family has a history of allergies.

Avoid giving your baby any processed foods that are high in salt, sugar and preservatives, such as French fries, chips, cookies and cakes. They have no nutritional value and could set your child up for a lifetime of unhealthy eating habits.

There are some foods you should avoid giving babies before a certain age:

  • No juice in the first year and only 4 oz. of 100% fruit juice per day after 12 months because too much juice can cause poor nutrition, obesity and tooth decay
  • No honey before 12 months because of the risk of a rare illness known as botulism
  • No cow’s milk or soy milk before 12 months because babies can’t digest it properly
  • No low-fat or nonfat dairy before age two because it provides too much protein and too many minerals
  • No raw milk and other unpasteurized products for children of any age
  • No hard foods such as whole nuts and raw carrots before age three because they’re choking hazards

How much should my baby eat?

Once your baby has gotten the hang of solids, they should be eating approximately 4 oz. of food at each meal. But each baby has a different appetite, so don’t force them to eat more if they close their mouth or turn away from the spoon – these are clear cues that they’ve had enough. As they grow and their appetite increases, gradually offer more food at each meal as well as healthy snacks between meals.

 

Does my baby need water?

As a general rule, babies get enough fluids from breast milk or formula. But once they start solids, you can give them small amounts of cooled, boiled water with meals or even between meals if the weather is very hot.

 

Baby food products

There are a few products we recommend during these different baby food stages to help make the process even easier: 

  • High chair
  • Suction meal mat
  • Suction bowl and utentsils
  • Baby spoons
  • Bib
  • Baby food steamer

Is your baby teething? 

As babies begin to teethe, they will also develop a natural inclination to soothe their gums by endlessly chewing and gumming any objects they can get their hands on. See our guide to choosing non-toxic teethers. 

The period of breastfeeding is one of the most important stages in a child’s life

The period of breastfeeding is one of the most important stages in a child’s life, which can be regarded as a transitional period from intrauterine development to a full-fledged independent existence.

Man is born completely dependent on his mother, and nature has provided for the possibility of transferring all the necessary nutrients to the child through mother’s milk.

The best food for a baby is the milk of his own mother, and this is understandable. The fact is that during pregnancy, the child and mother are practically a single organism, and it is very dangerous for the baby to lose this connection immediately, from the first minutes after birth. No wonder it is often said that 9months of pregnancy and at least 9 months of breastfeeding – this is the full cycle of “carrying” the baby, necessary for its proper growth and development, as well as for the normal state of the mother.

So why is breastfeeding so important?

First of all, mother’s milk is the best food for a baby. The mother’s body produces milk with exactly the properties that are necessary for a particular newborn – different women have slightly different composition of breast milk, adapted to meet the needs of her baby.

Mother’s milk also changes its properties as the child grows. Often women try to “check” if their milk fits certain regimens and are upset that it is “low fat” or, conversely, “too fat”. But it would be enough for them to simply understand that their body produces exactly the product that is designed specifically for their children, and that the differences between the milk of different women are caused precisely by the fact that their children are not the same.

However, if for some reason the mother cannot breastfeed the baby, then it is better for him to receive donor milk from another woman than artificial formulas or cow’s milk.

It should be remembered that just as a woman cannot raise a healthy baby of any animal on her milk, so a cow is not able to give milk that is optimal for a human child. Cow’s milk is for calves, just like women’s milk is for children.

Human milk contains more than 400 components necessary for the optimal development of the child. Some of them have an anti-infective effect, they gradually form the child’s immune system, protecting it from various infections.

Some of the antibodies contained in mother’s milk protect the baby’s gastrointestinal tract from the introduction of pathogenic microflora and help him develop normal microflora.

The amino acids contained in breast milk are involved in the proper development of the baby’s central nervous system and brain.

It is not for nothing that children who are fed with mother’s milk for at least a year develop better than their “artificial” peers, learn more easily both in the garden and then at school, grow up more calm and balanced.
It is no coincidence that we started talking about school: we must always remember that breastfeeding a baby is important not only during his first year, but throughout his life. In addition, it should be recalled that the enzymes that make up breast milk help the child to digest it more easily, breast milk vitamins are easily and completely absorbed by the baby’s body, and proteins and fats are in the optimal amount for the newborn.
Many substances necessary for a child are contained not only in milk, but also in colostrum, which some time ago was considered a product completely useless for a child. And only in recent years, it has become clear to scientists that in no case should children be fed during the first hours and days of life with donor milk, which is not designed for them.

The baby is much healthier than its mother’s colostrum, which contains substances that help the child’s immature intestines adapt to a new way of eating. A child needs very little colostrum – just a few drops, and this is justified by the fact that the body of a newborn cannot yet digest a large amount of liquid.

Therefore, we can say that the practice that exists in some maternity hospitals, and previously existed everywhere, the practice, when the baby was fed with donor milk from a bottle for three days, and only on the third day was brought to the mother, does not hold water. Its results are mastopathy in the mother, jaundice in the child, and problems with the establishment of feeding in both. Colostrum is necessary for the baby, and early, immediately after childbirth, attachment to the breast is for the mother.

Early attachment to the breast is a natural end of childbirth, which is needed not only to feed the baby. The child begins to suckle the breast, the mother’s uterus contracts, which helps to easily and painlessly exit the placenta.

In addition, contractions of the uterus during suckling by the baby of the breast rather quickly “put her in place” – and usually, the figure of a breastfeeding woman is restored somewhat faster than a woman whose child is bottle-fed. But, of course, much more early breastfeeding gives mom and baby psychologically.

During the 9 months of intrauterine development, the child was in close contact with the mother. Having been born, he remembers her smell, her voice, her heartbeat, the taste of amniotic fluid. If you immediately pull him out of his usual environment, then the stress experienced by the baby may be unbearable for him.

Therefore, nature provided for such a kind of “return” to intrauterine life as breastfeeding. A child at the mother’s breast experiences almost the same sensations as before birth: he hears the familiar rhythm of his mother’s heart, her voice, inhales her smell, feels the warmth of her body, and the taste of milk, according to many experts, really resembles the taste of amniotic water.

That’s why breastfeeding is more than a feeding process for a baby. It is also a kind of “relaxation” necessary for its normal growth and development.

Mom experiences the same thing. When she puts the child to her breast, she feels especially clearly that this is the same child that was in her womb. In addition, breastfeeding is the most important process of communication between mother and baby, necessary for both. Therefore, nothing should distract the mother from feeding: neither the phone, nor the book, nor the conversations, nor the TV. This is a complete concentration on the child, the moment at which mother and baby again become one.

Mother’s breasts are not only a source of nutrition. An anxious, frustrated child can also be attached to the chest. He will not eat more than necessary, and then he will not seek solace only in food – this is not true. He will just feel calm and comfortable next to his mother. In general, one should not be afraid to once again attach the baby to the chest, take it in his arms – this will not spoil the child, but on the contrary, will give him a sense of security and self-confidence.

Having started to crawl and walk, he won’t be able to pick himself up so easily, and as practice shows, by the end of the first year of life, the most active discoverers of this world are precisely those children who spent infancy in their mother’s arms, and not at all those whom forced to stay in bed. Mom’s hands, a patchwork holder, or a “kangaroo” is much more natural than a crib, the baby’s habitat.

The same can be said about the notorious scheduled feedings. More and more neonatologists agree that breastfeeding should be as frequent as the child needs. Surprisingly, after a while the baby “sets” his own daily routine, and goes on for about the same three to three and a half hours between feedings.

The fact is that a child needs a mother’s breast not only as a source of nutrition, but also as a “comforter”, a source of warmth, comfort, a kind of link between him and the outside world.

In addition, even if we only talk about the nutrition of the child, then, as you know, everyone has a different appetite: in order to feel good, someone needs to eat three times a day and a lot, and someone needs six times a day, but only a little.

Newborn babies are as individual as their parents. Sometimes a baby, especially a young one, needs to be breastfed every hour, and sometimes more often. But all the inconvenience associated with feeding will pay off with interest. The main thing is not to be afraid to understand your child, listen to him and have no doubt that he is the one who knows what he wants better than all the authors of books.

Mom’s secrets: feeding outside the home.

Summer is the time for joint walks and small trips around the city, and it is very disappointing to be dependent on constant feeding when it comes to a baby in such a wonderful time of the year.

Our secrets for moms will help you to go far away from home and at the same time not cancel breastfeeding:
  • – the baby sling can be adjusted so that the baby’s mouth is just opposite the breast. And if you cover it with a hood, which usually comes with a sling, no one will even guess that the baby is doing an important job;
  • – A nursing bra, a button-down shirt and a small shawl (or neckerchief) will allow you to feed your baby while sitting on the subway, in the park, cafe or on the beach. If at the same time you do not bend to an unnatural position, but sit in a relaxed position, they will not pay attention to the nursing mother at all;
  • – in summer everyone prefers open terraces, and the halls inside the cafe are often empty. You can sit at one of the tables, and for complete peace of mind – put something voluminous on the table – the intimate process will go unnoticed;
  • – in large cities, large shopping centers are equipped with mother and child rooms, and polyclinics are equipped with healthy baby rooms. You can build your route in advance, given the proximity of buildings where you can feed the child;
  • – now in fashion – transformer capes of various shades. There are several options: some turn from a car seat cover into a shelter for mom and baby, others play the role of an apron that is worn around the mother’s neck and completely hides the child from prying eyes;
  • – a time-tested option – a bottle with pre-expressed milk: simple, convenient, for the most shy.

Have a nice summer adventure!

Mother’s nutrition during breastfeeding.

During pregnancy, expectant mothers actively prepare for the arrival of their baby. They carefully think over the interior of the child’s room, lovingly choose things for the baby, attend classes to prepare for childbirth. But not many people think about how important its first food is for the baby, or rather, the mother’s diet during breastfeeding. In fact, this is a separate topic that should be given special attention.

Mother’s milk is very important for the development of the baby, it contains all the necessary substances for the baby. In addition, during feeding, a close bond is established between mother and baby. Clinging to his chest, the baby feels the warmth of the mother and the beating of her heart, at these moments he is absolutely happy and calm. In order for milk to regularly arrive and not disappear in one day, women need to consume at least 2000 calories, but the list of products should be limited.

So, in the first months of a baby’s life, experts recommend sticking to a strict diet and focusing on proper nutrition while breastfeeding. At first, the list of products is very scarce, since the baby’s gastrointestinal tract is still developing and adapting to our world. Mom’s nutrition during breastfeeding during this period is as follows: buckwheat, barley and oatmeal, millet, pasta are allowed. You can also introduce lean meats and white fish into the diet. From vegetables it is worth giving preference to potatoes, cauliflower and broccoli. Carrots and beets are allowed to be used in soups. For the fat content of milk, a young mother is recommended to include thirty grams of butter in her diet. Most likely, at the time of the rush of milk, you will want to consume dairy products in large quantities. Here it is worth noting one important point: choose milk, kefir and yoghurts without fruit additives and fillers. The ban includes: everything fried and smoked, black and red caviar, as well as products that cause the fermentation process – legumes, grapes, fresh bread. White cabbage, cucumbers, and apple peels can cause colic in a newborn.

Remember, if you eat even a small piece of fresh bread or a handful of grapes, it can affect your baby greatly. The baby will simply have a stomach ache, the baby will cry during feeding, sleep poorly due to pain. Another reason for the diet is the possible occurrence of allergies. Juicy strawberries and bright oranges can cause breakouts on baby’s skin.

After the first month of a baby’s life, it is allowed to gradually introduce new foods, but you should carefully monitor the baby’s condition: if you notice any deviations from the norm, you should immediately eliminate this product from your diet. Experts advise trying new products once every three days.

As for the drinking regime: in order for the milk to come in the right amount, young mothers need at least 2-2.5 liters of fluid per day, and in pharmacies and children’s stores today you can find special drinks that improve lactation. In addition, in the first months of breastfeeding, it is allowed to use dried fruit compotes, rosehip broth and tea with milk. Coffee and carbonated drinks should be abandoned, and, of course, alcohol must be completely eliminated.

Hospitalization procedure

Breastfeeding is complete nutrition for proper development. Breastfeeding experts clarify that breastfeeding up to 6 months is especially important, since the baby at this age receives all the nutrients and immunity protection from the mother.

Employees of the Regional Center for the Protection of Motherhood and Childhood strive to create optimal conditions for breastfeeding newborns at all stages of nursing. In 2013, the staff of our institution took part in the All-Russian competition “Breastfeeding Policy in Healthcare Institutions”, became a laureate and awarded a diploma in the nomination “Successful Start of Breastfeeding in an Institution”.

Breastfeeding policy at the Regional Center for Maternal and Child Health.

1. Conducting practical classes with pregnant women in the departments of obstetric hospitals and pregnant women supervised by specialists of the advisory polyclinic of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Center for Maternal and Child Health:

  • to build confidence in the ability to feed a child with breast milk;
  • on the technique of breastfeeding a newborn child on the first day after urgent delivery, on the first and subsequent days after delivery by caesarean section;
  • on the technique of expressing breast milk by puerperas;
  • on creating the basic conditions for successful breastfeeding;
  • on the principles of nutrition for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

2. Thematic training of medical staff on breastfeeding:

  • “Practical help for mothers in breastfeeding”
  • Breastfeeding Machinery
  • Building confidence and support for successful breastfeeding
  • Support for continued breastfeeding

3. Providing practical assistance to women in childbirth in the correct attachment of a newborn baby to the breast using various feeding positions.

4. Demonstration of educational video material for pregnant and breastfeeding women on TV installations in obstetric hospital departments

  • technique of breastfeeding a newborn baby
  • comfortable breastfeeding positions
  • special care for a newborn baby

5. Placement of information folders in the wards of the postpartum department about the benefits of breastfeeding for mother and child, signs of proper attachment to the breast of the child

Breastfeeding has many benefits. And now scientists have found another. Breast milk improves the baby’s digestion and saturates the intestines with good bacteria. A population of beneficial bacteria is vital for healthy digestion and immune system development.

The composition of human milk during lactation varies depending on the period of lactation, time of day and even from the beginning to the end of each feeding. The content of some components, for example, water-soluble vitamins (ascorbic, nicotinic acids, thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine) to a certain extent depends on the mother’s diet. The content of other components, such as iron, does not depend on the mother’s diet

Water in breast milk

Surprisingly, about 87% of breast milk is water. It is biologically active and easily digestible, so the baby does not need to be specially supplemented.

Carbohydrates in breast milk

In breast milk carbohydrates are represented by lactose, or milk sugar. Under its influence, iron and calcium are absorbed, the central nervous system is formed. Lactase promotes the growth of bifidum and lactobacilli.

Fats in breast milk

This is a building material that promotes the formation of membranes of all cells, the retina of the eye. In order for the immature body of the baby to more easily absorb fats, a special enzyme, lipase, is produced in breast milk . The highest concentration of fats is present in the milk that the baby sucks at the end of feeding. Therefore, it is so important not to take the baby from the breast ahead of time.

Proteins in milk

Surprisingly, the protein component breast milk is only 1%. And the more mature the mother’s milk, the less protein there is. If there were more of it, it would overload the kidneys and could disrupt the digestion process.

Vitamins and trace elements in breast milk

Despite the small amount, all the nutrients breast milk are easily absorbed by the baby’s body.

Babysitters and nannies share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Babysitters are typically hired for occasional work on an irregular schedule. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great option.

Nannies, on the other hand, are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies.

Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Babysitters on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them. They’re happy to participate in outdoor activities like sports, or indoor activities like music, baking, tutoring help, and art. Wherever your child’s interests lie, babysitters on Sittercity are prepared to engage them in a nurturing way.

People are talking about us

I don’t even know how to describe my emotions!!! I have not met so many kind and friendly people for a long time. We came here with our youngest son, first for a consultation, and then for rehabilitation. The head doctor is just a magician! I have not seen such an attitude towards children with problems and their parents! The staff of the rehabilitation department are doctors and narrow specialists, everyone is very friendly and everyone wants to help us!!!! The atmosphere is like back in the USSR!!! Children’s songs in the salt room, various educational toys throughout the 3rd floor, as well as classrooms equipped with everything you need! Each little patient is assigned a neurologist who is ready to talk with parents at any time! Each baby is assigned an individual treatment depending on the necessary needs! If all hospitals and rehabilitation centers in our city had such an atmosphere, then sick children would become less and less every day!!!! I want to sincerely congratulate the management and all the staff on the upcoming NEW YEAR !!!! Thank you very much! May everyone in your families be healthy and happy!!!!❄❄❄

Secret places of New York – unusual sights

Unusual places

When it comes to New York, apart from the well-known Statue of Liberty, Times Square or the Empire State Building, there is little that comes to mind. And here is and in vain! The city does not end there, it does not even end with the twenty interesting places that we offer. But let this list be useful to the traveler who has set foot on New York soil for the first time.

June 26, 2017

Friends, we remind you that we have a super convenient application for iOS, which is available in the App Store

Download, try and leave your feedback!

1. High Line Park

With a picture of New York’s monumental skyscrapers in mind, you might be surprised that there are quite a few parks in this city. Of course, in the first place – this is the famous Central Park. However, we want to talk about the less known, but no less interesting High Line Park. It is located in the western part of Manhattan and stretches from Hemsworth Street to West 34th Street. The peculiarity of the park is that it is laid out on the site of former railway tracks at a height of 10 meters above the ground. So this is not only a great opportunity to “ascend” above the noisy revival of New York streets, but also to enjoy an oasis of nature in the thick of the stone jungle.

Photo by KTEA2010

The park is open from December to March from 07:00 to 19:00, from April to May from 07:00 to 22:00 and from June to September from 07:00 to 23:00. In October and November – from 07:00 to 22:00. Free admission.

Access to the park is via the entrances on Hemsworth Street, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th, 26th and 28th Streets. You can find a complete list on the official website.

2. Life Underground

New York is undoubtedly a city with a rich cultural life: one trip is definitely not enough to visit all its museums and galleries! But few people know that in New York there is a free sculpture gallery, which is located … in the subway.

Photo by #Allen

The 14th Street — 8th Avenue station of the New York subway houses the work of Brooklyn sculptor Tom Otterson called Life Underground. Funny little men with money bags instead of heads, crocodiles crawling out of sewer manholes, phantasmagoric toads and crayfish lying in wait for “money” midgets – the compositions will not leave anyone indifferent.

3. Whitney Museum of American Art

Would you like to visit New York and not visit at least some of its world famous museums? What are you kidding me?! If you are not one of those who think that modern American art is exclusively pop art, and would like to know more about it, then the Whitney Museum should definitely be on your list.

Photo by Phil Roeder

His collection (more than 21,000 works) contains works exclusively by American artists from the 1920s to the present. Paintings, sculptures, photos, video installations, drawings, media works – everyone will find something for themselves here.

June 21, 2016

The Whitney Museum is located at 99 Gansevoort street. Opening hours: Mondays, Wednesdays and Sundays from 10:30 to 18:00, from Thursday to Saturday – from 10:30 to 22:00.

Tickets are $22 (adults) and $18 (students and seniors). Children under 18 years of age enter free.

4. New York Museum of Natural History

Even if you are not a fan of the movie “Night at the Museum” and any museums make you bored from childhood, do not refuse to look into the New York Museum of Natural History. It will be interesting for visitors of absolutely all ages!

Photo by Stéphane Devars

Dinosaur skeletons, displays dedicated to ocean life and North American forests, birds and reptiles, a planetarium – and this is not a complete list of the museum’s permanent collection! And one more nice nuance: visitors can pay for the entrance as much as they see fit (although the declared ticket price is $22).

The Natural History Museum is located at 79th Street and Central Park West (Upper West Side).

5. Zoo

One of the most popular places for family (and not only) recreation in New York is the Central Park Zoo. Here the inhabitants of both the American continent (bears, wolves, lynxes) and the fauna of the tropics (primates, reptiles and birds) are represented, and in the pool you can see sea lions.

The zoo is located at 64th Street and 5th Avenue.

Opening hours: daily from 10:00 to 16:30 from November 1, 2015 to March 24, 2016. Admission fee – $18 (adult), $13 (children, 3-12 years old), $15 (seniors over 65 years old). Children under two years old are free.

6. Top of the Rock

Seeing New York from the 70th floor of Rockefeller Center, if not from a bird’s eye view, is worth it for an impressive panorama of the city (especially in the morning and evening, when the city is especially beautiful). The Top of the Rock observation deck is the perfect place for this. This is a lesser-known analogue of the Empire State Building, but it allows you to see the same panorama – and even a little more.

Photo by Marcos Rivera

The site is open daily from 08:00 to 24:00. Tickets cost $32 (adults), $26 (children 6-12) and $30 (over 60s). For children under 6 years old, admission is free.

Site address: 30 Rockefeller Plaza (entrance on 50th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues).

7. The Cloisters Museum

When in New York, be sure to check out the Cloisters Museum. In addition to the fact that there is an interesting collection dedicated to the art and architecture of Medieval Europe, the building itself was built from fragments of medieval abbeys, taken brick by brick from Europe to America.

Photo by Little Tipple

After admiring the old tapestries, sculptures and paintings in the museum halls, take a walk through the museum gardens and sit in the shady courtyards, enjoying the atmosphere of antiquity.

Note : The Cloisters Museum is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, so the visitor himself determines the entrance fee here, as in the Metropolitan (it can be at least $ 1).

8. Unusual free tours

New York is good because here, if you wish, you can find cheap (or even completely free) entertainment for almost every taste. So, every Friday at 12:30 there are free tours of such interesting places as the Whispering Gallery of the Central Terminal and the Chrysler Building. The address is 120 Park Ave, at 42nd St, Midtown East. It is at such events that you can not only see the secret places of New York, but also learn many interesting stories related to them.

9. Socrates Park

If you want to see New York from an unusual side – welcome to the Socrates Sculpture Park on the East River, Queens. A former dump, now the place is popular because artists and other creative personalities can create sculptural and multimedia compositions (in general, create) here in an open space. In summer, film screenings and light shows are also held here.

Photo by Kenneth Dellaquila

The park is open to the public and admission is free from 10:00 am to sunset 7 days a week. Address: Broadway at Vernon Blvd, Astoria, Queens.

10. New York Wharfs

If you’re into the romantic spirit, with proper athletic training, you can veer off the beaten tourist trail and hit the water. NYC State Piers (Downtown Boathouse Center and Long Island Community in Queens) offer free kayak rentals to cruise the Hudson. Well, if you haven’t kept oars since birth, don’t despair. There are also free 3-hour guided tours.

Boat rental operates every weekend at piers 40 and 96, and 72nd street.

11. Museo del Barrio

Dilute your stay in the “heart of America” ​​with a sip of Latin American flavor! The Museo del Barrio is the best place for this. More than 8 thousand works of artists from Latin America and the Caribbean, and also a lot of exhibits of various directions and even handicrafts of the natives of pre-Columbian America!

Photo by rita palma

Find the museum at 1230 5th Avenue at 104th Street. Admission is $9 (adults) and $5 (students and seniors). Every third Saturday of the month admission is free.

12. Wave Hill Botanical Garden

For those who have already had their fill of New York delights and frantic rhythm, longing for peace and quiet, we advise you to go to the Wave Hill Botanical Garden. It is located on the territory of the estate of the same name – the former country cottage of the beginning of the century. Now it is one of the favorite vacation spots of New Yorkers.

Photo by Nycgo

Stroll through the verdant alleys of the Landscape Park, wander through the woods, or relax in the shade of the oak at the edge of the pond. And if you get tired – folding garden chairs in shady arbors are at your service. What is not a place for unity with nature?

You can get to Wave Hill by taking the train from Grand Central Station (you need the one that goes in the direction of Poughkeepsie). Get off at Riverdale station, and from there the garden is within easy reach. For those who are especially lazy, a park bus runs from the station to the garden.

13. Harlem Studio Museum

New York is not only a city of contrasts, it is a real Babylon, where, it seems, all the nations of the world have mixed up. To learn more about them, it is worth visiting cultural centers and museums organized by local diasporas, such as the Studio Museum in Harlem.

The museum is dedicated to the cultural and artistic heritage of immigrants from the African continent. Works of artists and craftsmen are exhibited here, creative evenings, master classes and excursions are held for everyone. Do not miss your chance to touch the mysterious and vibrant art of Africa!

Photo by Nyc-arts

The museum is located in Harlem at 144 West 125th Street. Working days – Thursday-Friday from 12:00 to 21:00, Saturday (10:00-18:00), Sunday (12:00-18:00). On Saturdays admission is free, on other days – $7.

14. New York Museum of the American Indian

By now, perhaps not everyone is aware that the original inhabitants of the States are actually Indians. So, to fill this gap, and also learn a bunch of interesting things about the culture and art of real Americans, you should go to the New York Museum of the American Indian. The collection of Indian art collected here is one of the best in the country. From the variety of paintings, ceramics and jewelry, just run your eyes!

The museum is open from 10:00 to 17:00 daily, on Thursdays until 20:00. Free admission.

New York State, USA travel guide Planet of Hotels

Albany is the capital of the state of New York and lies on the right bank of the Hudson River. This is one of the oldest cities in the USA. Its appearance is a combination of modern architecture and ancient buildings. An unusual building of the concert hall – “Egg”, which resembles a flying saucer. The city hall building is a classic of the Victorian era. The university is an example of neo-gothic. The most famous building in the city is the majestic and ornate State Capitol. At one time it was the most expensive building among analogues.
Among the religious buildings it is necessary to note the old Dutch church (XVIII century), as well as the neo-Gothic churches of the Immaculate Conception and St. Joseph. Albany is home to one of the oldest museums in the United States – the Institute of History and Arts. And if a tourist is tired of sightseeing, he can relax in one of Albany’s many parks, the most famous of which are Tivoli, Washington and Lincoln.

New York. The largest city in the state, one of the three largest financial centers in the world. It is a city of skyscrapers and magnificent temples. A city of glass, concrete and picturesque parks. More than 50 million tourists visit it every year. Everything is famous here – streets, houses, museums, theaters, monuments. The Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park and Trinity Church, the Metropolitan Opera House and Carnegie Hall are attractions that everyone has heard of. Broadway is the longest street in the US with dozens of theaters along it. Fifth Avenue, with its chic shops, and amazing museums. Wall street with stock exchange. In New York, there are fifty buildings above 200 m. The most famous are the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the Woolworth Building, the Rockefeller Center complex. The tallest is the new building of the World Trade Center, built on the site of the “twin towers” (417 m). The most unusual is the Flatiron Building – triangular in section. There are several museums in New York with the richest collections. The Metropolitan Museum of Art – 2 million exhibits – from ancient Egypt and Assyria to the classics of the Renaissance and the Impressionists. Museum of Modern Art – 150,000 items, including works by the most famous masters of the XIX-XXI centuries. The Guggenheim Museum is known not only for the originality of the building, but also for its grandiose exhibitions. And then there is the Whitney Museum and the Frick Gallery, the Brooklyn Museum and the stunning Natural History Museum. New York is the Babylon of modernity.

Buffalo (Buffalo) is the second largest city in the state. It is located near the Canadian border, on the shores of Lake Erie, not far from Niagara Falls. At one time, this city was the first in the United States, whose streets were illuminated by electric lights. The city will delight lovers of architecture. The Buffalo City Hall (City Hall) is one of the largest of its kind in the country. On the roof of the building there is an observation deck with a good view of the city. In front of the building, on Lafayette Square, there is a memorial to President William McKinley, who died in Buffalo at the hands of a terrorist. Of interest are the old buildings of the city hall, and the post office, and a very original building of the city court. Spread out in the northern part of the city, Delaware Park is one of the masterpieces of landscape design. It, among other things, houses an art museum and a small zoo. And just 25 km from Buffalo is Niagara Falls.

Rochester is a city on the shores of Lake Ontario. Since it houses several optical industries, it is called the “optical capital of the world”. Rochester is a modern city, and there are few architectural monuments in it. But it has several unique museums. For example, the George Eastman Museum of Photography and Photographic Equipment is very interesting. The Children’s Museum of Games, which, in fact, is an entertainment center, is also very popular. One problem is that if you enter the Museum of Games with a child, you will not leave it soon. And not far from the city you can find many wonderful places for hiking in nature – Rochester is simply surrounded and riddled with parks.

appointment, low prices

From time immemorial, piercing has been a way to decorate yourself. Ear piercing is the most popular type of piercing and the most “generally recognized”, inherent in all social groups. Most often, women’s ears are pierced, although men are not far behind.

In Perm, you can pierce the ears of a child, an adult man or a woman at the Genesis clinic.

We will discuss how the ears and auricles are pierced, at what age you can start doing it, what methods exist and give recommendations on how to care for the piercing.

Ear piercing for children

The main question that worries parents is whether it is possible to pierce the ears of baby girls and how safe this procedure is. You can pierce the ears of children, but pediatricians still recommend waiting until the age of 10. But this age is not fixed by law, and formally manipulation can be performed even on a 6-month-old child.

In fact, the procedure is safe, just until the auricle has grown, the puncture is formed in one place, and then, as the baby grows older, it can move. It doesn’t always look aesthetically pleasing.

The next thing to know if you decide to pierce your child’s ears is the right time. The off-season is best – in winter, the ears grow more slowly, and in the summer it is difficult to process the wound.

You can pierce your ears in Perm at st. Chernyshevsky 15B, ask the administrators of the Genesis clinic for prices.

How ears are pierced

There are two most common ways – ear piercing with a needle and ear piercing with a gun.

Piercing the earlobes with a gun is the easiest and fastest option. Earrings made of surgical steel are inserted into the gun (to prevent suppuration and infection), then the master marks the places of future punctures and disinfects the skin. The gun grabs the lobe from both sides, and the earring immediately ends up in the ear. By the way, these earrings are a real decoration. You can choose the stone and color of the metal according to your taste.

Does it hurt to pierce your ears? Absolutely not. The only thing is that the puncture site can burn a little for a while (not for long and not much).

You can also pierce a child’s ears with a medical needle. For this procedure, a very thin needle with a diameter of 1 mm is used. The disadvantage of the procedure is that this method of puncture is more painful (but tolerable). And a definite plus in hygiene, because the doctor opens the needle in front of the patient, while the gun is reusable.

How to care for your ears after a piercing

Remember the following rules for caring for your ears after the procedure:

  1. Do not take the earring out of your ear.
  2. Treat the earring and piercing directly with the earring in the ear.
  3. The puncture zone should be treated with alcohol or Miramistin.
  4. Such care should be carried out within a month.
  5. Doctors advise after wearing the first jewelry made of steel to wear for some time only gold or patina, and only far later – jewelry.

Can you do ear piercing at home? It is absolutely impossible to do ear piercing on your own at home! The consequences can be the most terrible – from infection to cartilage trauma.

Contraindications for ear piercing

Despite the fact that ear piercing is a simple procedure, it still has a number of contraindications. These include:

  • nervous disorders;
  • head injury;
  • blood diseases;
  • diabetes;
  • oncological diseases.

How to make an appointment for ear piercing

Check the cost of the procedure with the administrators of the clinic. Making an appointment is very easy. Five ways to choose:

  • call by phone: +7 (342) 200 95 31, +7 (342) 202 64 02;
  • sign up online;
  • write a personal message in the VKontakte group: vk.com/genesis_perm;
  • come to the address: st. Chernyshevsky, 15B.

About the clinic

I got sick and asked for help from a therapist. Belkina listened carefully, clarified the details, and conducted an inspection. It did not seem that she did not care, she behaved with interest and indifference, which speaks of her humanity. Someone will say that the knowledge of a doctor is more important, I agree with this, but you still want attention, even unconsciously, it seems to me that everyone will agree with this. As for communication with the therapist, I have no complaints, everything was polite and to the point, the recommendations she gave helped me, so I consider it a good experience to visit this clinic.

I made an appointment with a massage therapist on a referral from a neurologist. Near my house is the clinic “Genesis”. So I decided to go to this medical center. I called the reception and they wrote me down to Andrey Vladimirovich. He is just a wonderful doctor! I am absolutely delighted with the reception! I arrived much earlier than the appointed time, but the doctor was able to see me. The doctor is very attentive, polite and friendly. He knows how to find an approach to any patient. I thought I was assigned to a female doctor and I was shocked when I saw the man. I was very shy. But Dr. Borisov was able to calm me down. He said that he should not be treated like a man, but like a doctor. My appointment took quite a long time. First, the doctor conducted a complete diagnosis and studied all the results of my tests. Then we started the process itself. The doctor has very strong hands and was able to alleviate my pain from the first session. I have a lot of pain under my right shoulder blade. Sometimes the pain reaches the neck and spine. I really hope that after the course, everything will pass. I have already made an appointment with this specialist and look forward to it. I will definitely recommend Andrey Vladimirovich to all my friends and relatives!

Liked: I had an appointment with a gastroenterologist at Genesis. I really liked the doctor and her approach to the patient. She spent as much time as needed to discuss all my concerns. It was evident that the doctor was trying to get to the bottom of my complaint as much as possible, and was in no hurry to send me out. Of course, some more tests and ultrasounds are scheduled for me, but I already see that we will come to a good result with the doctor. I will definitely go back to her for a follow up appointment.

locally – juice aloe. If it’s really bad, then you can make such a trick with your ears :)))

Pour warm boiled water into a basin, dilute the potassium permanganate and hold the ears in turn in the water.

Actively warm water should beat, but not hot. Then dry and smear with aloe and juice from a freshly cut twig.

SILVER SHOULD NOT BE PUT IN PRIMARY PIERCINGS! EVEN PIERCING THE EARLOBS!

If you are convinced of the opposite and you are over 18 years old – bet for God’s sake, only then do not complain because you will be sent by all piercers.

#24

Put back good medicine (in Moscow 1 piece – 250 rubles worth of good medical earrings) Buy in cosmetology in the salon from a cosmetologist.

Six months is nothing to worry about. Treat with vodka. If you are afraid – dilute vodka with water. The hole should pop out. Good luck

#25

You can’t treat a wound with alcohol (VODKA??), because every time you burn the protective film formed and prevent it from healing. Alcohol is only needed to disinfect jewelry at home. Rinse only with miramistin, chlorhexidine and other special solutions.

Medical earring – no such thing. There are jewelry made of surgical steel, also known as “medical alloy” in the common people, a relatively safe material. Scalpels, needles, instruments are made from it – something that does not come into contact with blood, plasma, etc. for a long time. Jewelry made from a high-quality medical alloy CAN be worn in healed punctures or those that heal in less than 20 days, because after that the alloy begins to oxidize due to the fact that it contains nickel, which is dangerous for the human body.

Good quality gold, titanium, bioplastic PTFE and chir steel (last at your risk) can be worn in primary piercings.

Nothing should “get sick”.

Remove earrings, heal, puncture.

And do not use folk remedies without consulting a doctor – or at least use a search engine. Many of them will help one – harm the other. Medicine is at least universal.

    Wondering how much to feed your baby? This can be hard to figure out, especially when you’re starting solids and most of your baby’s food ends up on your little one or the floor. It’s also difficult to determine how much an 8-month-old (or older baby) should eat – babies this age are more interested in solid foods but still get most of their nutrition from breast milk or formula. This visual guide to baby food portions can help you figure out how much your baby should eat at every stage.

    How much should my baby eat?

    Do you worry that your baby is eating too little or too much? Your baby will self-regulate her food intake based on what their body needs, so let their appetite be your guide.

    It’s helpful to have a reference point, however. Here are photos of how much solid food a baby typically eats in a day. You can also ask your baby’s doctor for feeding advice.

    This visual guide shows:

    • Portions for infants who are new to solids (typically 4 to 6 months)
    • Two sample meals for a younger baby (6 to 8 months)
    • Three sample meals and two snacks for an older baby (8 to 12 months) from a menu developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)

    Your little one may eat less or more than what’s shown here. Your job is to provide a variety of healthy foods at regular intervals without pressure, and their job is to decide what and how much to eat.

    Photo credit: iStock.com / UntitledImages

    Watch for signs your baby is full

    Lots of factors – including activity level, growth spurts or plateaus, illness, and teething – will affect your baby’s appetite, which can vary daily.

    End feeding when they signal that they’re done. Signs of being full include:

    • Turning their head away
    • Refusing to open their mouth for another bite after they’ve swallowed (resist the urge to encourage your baby to have one last spoonful)
    • Leaning back in their chair
    • Playing with the spoon or food rather than eating

    How much a 4- to 6-month-old should eat

    When your baby is developmentally ready for solids, typically around 4 to 6 months, talk to their doctor about introducing solid foods. The first bites are mostly about them getting used to the idea of having something different in their mouth.

    • Start with a very small amount, 1 to 2 teaspoons, of a single-ingredient puree.
    • Gradually increase to 1 to 2 tablespoons of food once a day.
    • Follow your baby’s fullness cues.

    Popular first foods include pureed mango, banana, chicken, turkey, beef, peas, sweet potatoes, and infant cereal. It’s up to you what food to start with, but wait 3 to 5 days between introducing each new food to make sure your baby doesn’t have an allergic reaction or food intolerance. (And remember, no cow’s milk or honey until age 1.)

    Photo credit: Karla Martin for BabyCenter

    How much a 6- to 8-month-old should eat

    As your little one gets more comfortable with solids, you can increase the frequency of meals and variety of food.

    • Transition from one to two meals a day, typically by 8 months.
    • Over time, add a second food to each meal. The photo above is an example of a meal with two foods.
    • Once you’ve worked up to two meals with two foods each, aim for a balance of proteins, vegetables, fruits, and grains in their daily diet.
    • Whenever you introduce a new food, start with a very small amount, a teaspoon or two, to allow your baby to get used to its flavor and texture.
    • Start with a soupy consistency. Gradually add more texture as their eating skills improve.

    Expect their intake of breast milk or formula to go down. They’ll start drinking less of it as they eat more solid foods. Provide healthy options at mealtimes, and let them choose how much to eat.

    Breakfast for a younger baby (6 to 8 months)

    Cereal and fruit make an easy combination for a morning meal.

    Grain: Iron-fortified, whole-grain infant cereal is a popular first grain. At 6 months, a typical daily portion of infant cereal mixed with breast milk or formula might be 2 to 3 tablespoons, increasing to 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup) by 8 months. (It’s best to avoid rice cereal, though.)

    Fruit: Babies love the natural sweetness of fruits like pears, apples, berries, prunes, and stone fruits. Between 6 and 8 months, a baby will typically transition from about 2 to 3 tablespoons of fruit puree a day to 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup) of mashed or minced fruit.

    Dinner for a younger baby (6 to 8 months)

    If you serve a grain and fruit in the morning, consider offering a protein-rich food and vegetable later in the day. Your child may eat more or less than the amounts shown.

    Protein: A baby might transition from eating 1 to 2 tablespoons of meat puree at 6 months to 2 to 4 tablespoons at 8 months, for example. Other good protein sources include cheese, unsweetened plain whole-milk yogurt, tofu, beans, and lentils.

    Vegetables: Between 6 and 8 months, a baby will typically transition from about 2 to 3 tablespoons of vegetable puree a day to 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup). Try classic favorites like carrots, spinach, or butternut squash, as well as less traditional first foods such as parsnips, beets, or asparagus.

    As your child’s eating skills improve, gradually add more texture by dicing or mincing foods.

    How much an 8- to 12-month-old should eat

    By 8 months or so, your baby is likely getting the hang of eating and needs to eat more calories to support their growing body. But since their little belly can’t hold a lot of food, they’ll need to eat more often. Every baby is different, but this may be a good time to try offering a third solid food meal.

    During this period:

    • Continue to give your baby breast milk or formula.
    • Add morning and afternoon snacks. (Some babies this age are happy with breast milk or formula as their snack, while others gravitate toward solid foods.) Once you’ve added a third meal and snacks, your baby will be eating or drinking something about every two to three hours.
    • Continue to aim for a mix of proteins, vegetables, fruits, and grains.
    • Introduce coarser and chunkier textures, for example, by dicing or mincing food instead of pureeing it, and graduate to soft finger foods as your baby’s eating skills improve.
    • Avoid foods with added sugars. Check the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods, and try to steer clear of foods that list 1 gram or more of “Added Sugars.”
    • Provide healthy options, and let your baby choose how much to eat.

    To visualize daily portions for an 8- to 12-month-old, check out the following photos of a typical day’s menu for a baby this age, developed by the AAP.

    Your child may eat more or less than these amounts. If you’re concerned about how much your baby is eating, talk to their doctor for advice.

    How much should my baby drink once they start eating solids?

    Breast milk or formula will fully meet your child’s hydration needs until they’re about 6 months old. They may start drinking less as solid foods become a bigger part of their diet. Here are typical daily amounts by age – your baby’s intake may be different, however.

    6 to 8 months: 24 to 32 ounces of formula, or continued breastfeeding on demand

    8 to 12 months: 24 ounces of formula, or continued breastfeeding on demand

    Water: You can offer your baby water once they start eating solids, but let them self-regulate how much they drink. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends giving babies who are 6 to 12 months old 4 to 6 ounces of water a day, but what your baby decides to drink may vary. They may drink more on a hot day, for example.

    Avoid juice: Juice isn’t recommended for babies younger than 12 months.

    Your baby has the final say

    Keep in mind that these portions are an estimate. The truth is, every baby is different, and there’s no set amount of food that’s appropriate for every baby at every stage.

    If you’re worried about whether your baby is eating enough – or too much – the best advice is to look for and respond to signs that your baby is full.

    Your baby’s doctor will chart their weight gain at regular intervals. If the doctor sees a consistent growth curve and doesn’t have other concerns, your baby is most likely eating the right amount of food.

    Solids, Finger Foods, and More

    Written by Gina Shaw

    In this Article

    • Baby Milestone 1: When They Can Start Solids
    • Baby Milestone 2: When They’re Ready to Move From Puree to Chunks
    • Baby Milestone 3: When They Can Sit in a High Chair
    • Baby Milestone 4: When They Can Manage Finger Foods
    • Baby Milestone 5: When They Start Using Spoons
    • Baby Milestone 6: When They Can Try Highly Allergenic Foods
    • Baby Milestone 7: When They Can Drink Water
    • Baby Milestone 8: When They Can Completely Feed Themselves

    There are many milestones that need to be achieved when a baby is ready to start to eat solid foods. Here are some of the big ones.

     

    Most pediatricians, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend introducing solid foods to babies when they are between ages 4 and 6 months. That’s when they start to lose the “tongue-thrust reflex” or extrusion reflex, which is important for sucking the breast or bottle when they are younger, but interferes with feeding. Babies at this point can also lift their heads up independently and hold their necks high.

    If your baby is around this age, can sit up well with support, and shows interest in the foods they see you eating, it’s probably a good time to venture into feeding your baby solid food. If your baby is exclusively breastfed, it is recommended that you wait until they are 6 months to start solids.

    “Chunking up” babies’ food is a process — obviously, they shouldn’t go straight from rice cereal to raisin bran. But after the first few weeks of adjusting to eating rather than just drinking their food, your baby should be ready to handle a little more texture in solid foods.

    Introduce new textures slowly. Good starters are mashed bananas or mashed avocados. You can also use the “staged” store-bought baby foods — going from the smooth puree of stage 1 to the slightly thicker stage 2 and then the chunkier stage 3 by around 9 months of age. (Babies don’t necessarily have to have a lot of teeth to handle more texture in their foods — they can often gum soft foods very well!)

    When babies are ready to eat solid foods, they can sit upright with support and hold up their head and neck. They’re capable of sitting in a high chair! That’s a serious milestone, but you’ll need to follow these safety rules: Always buckle a baby into their chair for safety, even if they are unable to get out with the tray in place. As they get older and become more active, they may be able to squirm out. It is a good habit to buckle a child as soon as you place them in their chair — even if you think there’s no chance they could fall out or climb out. You may get distracted for a moment, which happens really easily when we are trying to do a million things at once!

     

    Babies between ages 7 and 11 months usually tell you they’re ready to eat more grown-up foods by trying to grab them from you. Almost any food that is healthy and nutritious and has a soft texture makes a good finger food, if it’s cut small enough: diced pasta; small pieces of well-cooked vegetables such as carrots, peas, or zucchini; and pea-sized bites of chicken or soft meat. Small, unsweetened round cereals and cereal puffs are also a good choice. Avoid feeding your baby grapes, hot dogs (even cut up), nuts, and hard candy, as they are choking hazards.

    At first babies “rake” food into their hand, but soon they develop the “pincer grasp” that allows them to pick up small objects between thumb and forefinger. At that point, your baby can become a pro at self-feeding, so encourage finger foods and let your baby explore!

     

    Almost as soon as babies adjust to being fed with a spoon, they’ll want to hold and grab the spoon themselves and put it in their mouths. That doesn’t mean they’re graceful, of course.

    Most babies don’t learn to use a spoon effectively until after their first birthday, but let a younger baby who’s interested give it a whirl for practice. Try giving them a soft-tipped spoon to hold while you feed them with another. They can get used to holding the spoon themselves and will also be distracted from grabbing yours.

    When you think they are ready to actually navigate the spoon into their mouth, try thicker, stickier foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or cottage cheese. Another tip: Put some cream cheese on the spoon and then a few pieces of O-shaped cereal on top. The cream cheese won’t fly everywhere, and the baby can get the experience of actually getting the cereal into their mouth.

    Expect a mess! Use a plastic or other waterproof bib, and put a mat under the high chair to make cleanup easier.

     

    The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends introducing allergenic and non-allergenic foods, including peanuts, starting around 4-6 months of age, except in babies who have eczema or other food allergies. If peanut butter is tolerated, introduce milk (after age 1), egg products, wheat, and fish.

     

     

    Babies don’t need water during their first 6 months of life. They get all the water they need from breast milk or baby formula. Babies under age 6 months should not be given any water at all, because it’s easy to fill up their tiny stomachs — and they should be filling up on the nutrients they receive from the milk to grow. Once they start eating mostly solid foods, around age 9 months, they can start water with meals using a sippy cup.

    If your older baby shows an interest in water that you’re drinking, there’s no harm in letting them have a few sips. Just don’t let it replace the nutritious breast milk or formula they should be getting.

     

    Mastering eating with utensils is a long process. Most babies do not become really skilled at it until they are well past their first birthday. Encourage your child to practice safely, and again, be prepared for a little mess. (How else will you get the “oatmeal in the hair” pictures that will embarrass them years later?)

    In the first year of a child’s life, parents choose the right food for their baby very carefully. The older the child becomes, the more simple truths are forgotten.

    Most of the children go to kindergarten or school, and are at home only in the mornings and evenings or on weekends. Meals at this time should form a conscious choice in the child. Parents can discuss with their children what they want to eat and guide them.

    The most important keywords in child nutrition are:
    • Example
    • Shared meals
    • Availability of suitable food
    • Outreach
    • Time
    • Choice and decision making
    Even if your child is still a preschooler or teenager, you need to remember the simple truths that relate to nutrition :
    • Children’s food preferences are mainly based on two factors: whether they know food and how it tastes (whether sweet). For children under four years of age, the most important thing is that the child knows what food is offered to him. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce new food carefully, offering it in small quantities, showing a personal example. Getting used to new foods takes time. If you guide the process carefully and in a playful way, this can be very captivating for a child. The more colorful by nature put on a plate, the more attractive and appetizing it is, and the more it contains various necessary nutrients.
    • On weekdays, those children who go to kindergarten have only dinner left for home meals, while schoolchildren have 3-4 meals. Children should have three main meals and 1-2 snacks per day. What food and in what quantities is offered depends on the time spent in the child care facility. The body must be regularly provided with the necessary amount of energy, so it is important to adhere to regular nutrition. Children should be offered food at well-defined times, and the interval between meals should not exceed 3.5–4 hours. The child should be given at least half an hour to eat.
    • Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it gives the body energy and the child can play or study. It is recommended to offer lightly processed foods for snacks (for example, fresh or dried fruits and berries, vegetables, unsweetened yogurt and cottage cheese, bread, juices, oatmeal, sandwiches). If the child seems to be eating too little or too much, a food diary should be kept in which for several days to record what and how much the child eats and drinks. It often turns out that the problem is not in the quantities eaten, but in the choice of products. You don’t need to grab vitamin and mineral supplements right away – a properly balanced and varied food already contains everything that is required.
    • Dinner in the family should be a well-defined mealtime when you can talk about the events of the day and be together. You can also discuss the menu for tomorrow and think about the weekend. All children, like adults, are different. Every child has a favorite food and one that he does not like at all. Knowing the child’s preferences, the parent can sometimes gradually accustom him to food that the child does not normally eat. To do this, you can attach a list of products that the child must eat during the day on the refrigerator. A child, if he goes to kindergarten or elementary school, can draw these products himself. In this case, it is convenient to monitor the choice of food and teach the child to eat healthy. Parents can invite their child to dine at home or arrange for a convenient place to dine out.
    • It is also important for the child how the food looks and its correct temperature. The child eats with great pleasure if he has seen what the food is made of.
    • When eating, the child’s mood and surroundings (eg, whether the TV is on, whether guests are present) and whether the child is hungry are important.
    • Children grow in periods, ie. sometimes the child eats very little, and sometimes much more. It is useful to ensure that nutrition and energy expenditure are in balance. If the child is very active, he should eat more. With soft drinks, potato chips, sweets, buns and cakes, the child gets a lot of so-called. empty energy, which, although more than enough to cover energy needs, but because of which the child does not eat other foods (vegetables and fruits, rye bread, milk, fish, etc. ) needed to obtain the necessary proteins, fatty acids , vitamins and minerals.
    • The best drink to quench your thirst is water. Fruit drinks and juice drinks made from syrup are not suitable for constant consumption and thirst quenching, both in terms of healthy nutrition and dental health.

    Nutrition is one of the most important functions of a person, which is absolutely necessary for his life. But the growth and harmonious development of the child depend not only on the provision of nutrients, but also determined by the proper organization of food intake.

    7. Simple rules

    First experience

    The formation of eating behavior begins from the first days of a baby’s life. Initially, it determines the natural need – it allows you to get the nutrients necessary for life and development. By loud crying and searching for the mother’s nipple, the baby notifies of his hunger and, on the contrary, hums, smiles or sleeps peacefully if he is full. A few months after birth, during the period of natural feeding, the nutritional relationship between mother and baby becomes more complex and is not always directly related only to the baby’s hunger. Eating behavior changes especially brightly if there are any significant changes in the usual family life. The most typical example is the early exit of the mother to work, when the baby, through a change in nutrition, can express dissatisfaction with her frequent absence.

    Transition

    Once complementary foods are introduced, the baby begins to adapt to foods other than breast milk, getting used to foods and learning eating habits that will be fixed and implemented throughout his life. It is in the second half of life that the baby begins to eat on his own, his gradual socialization and transition to a common family table take place. Focusing on the eating behavior of the mother and other close relatives, the baby tries to imitate, seeks to try adult food, gains his own experience and forms taste preferences. This stage is very important in human development. It determines taste preferences in the future, the attitude to the procedure for eating, and in case of unfavorable developments, it can be the cause of persistent appetite disorders.

    A difficult period

    None of us was born with the ability to use a spoon, fork and drink from a cup. These skills are acquired with the help of adults, and it is their behavior that determines how quickly and successfully, and most importantly, how psychologically comfortable a child will master the difficult science of behavior at the table. Parents should be patient, show respect for the child and understand that it will take a long time before the baby masters the skills of eating. Of course, at first, a little researcher will study food by touch, try to smear it on the table and turn the plate over. Be calm about his experiments, but continue to teach him persistently, helping him use tableware and educating him by your own example. The more confident children begin to use a spoon, the less difficulty they have in eating, and the more successfully their diet expands.

    Preparatory stage

    For self-feeding, the child should have a specially equipped place – the most popular and convenient highchairs for feeding. Initially, the child will eat at his table, and then by the end of the first year of life, you can move the high chair to the family table.

    This is important! To successfully master the skills of eating, children should have their own comfortable spoon and stable plate. It is advisable to use a medium-sized spoon, shallow, with a non-slip thickened handle. The first cutlery should not have sharp edges so that the baby does not hurt the gums. Dishes must be selected from environmentally friendly and safe materials.

    A number of modern spoons have temperature sensors, which can be useful for monitoring the temperature of food. Use a plate with a high rim to help your child scoop up food more easily. To make the dishes less slippery, choose plates with a wide base or use special devices in the form of a rubber bottom or suction cups.

    See also: At what age should a child be introduced to solid foods? This will be a positive reinforcement in his learning. Mom needs to sit directly facing the child and offer a spoon, trying to make him take it with his leading hand. While holding the baby’s wrist and elbow, try scooping up some food and directing it towards the mouth. Then return the spoon to the plate. As practice and learning improves, gradually decrease your help by moving your supporting hand away from the child’s wrist toward the child’s elbow, and then let the child try to do without assistance.

    Of course, not everything will work out right away. For a long time, the baby will try to eat with his hands, put food in a spoon with his fingers, or help with the other hand to bring the spoon to his mouth. Praise and openly rejoice in his success.

    IMPORTANT! Remember that children experience great emotional stress when they learn to eat on their own, so do not keep them at the table for a long time and even scold them for slowness and untidiness. Another very important point is to encourage independence. Do not take the spoon away from the child in an attempt to speed up the process. And do not be afraid that the baby will eat less – after a while he will get hungry again and happily eat the next portion.

    Drinks

    The modern market of goods is replete with various devices for feeding babies: from bottles to various drinkers. However, child nutrition experts recommend teaching your child to drink from a cup. In the first year of life, a child has a pronounced sucking reflex, so when using a bottle or drinker, he can drink more than he needs. The glass or cup should be lightweight and made of materials that do not crack or break. Some kids prefer to drink with their hands around a glass, others are more comfortable holding on to the handle of a mug – try different options, choosing the most convenient one. At the initial stage, the adult brings the cup to his mouth and, leaning it against his lips, slowly tilts it. Pour liquid only a third of the volume – the child will not choke, but there will be no need to throw back his head. The next step is to help the baby – hold his wrists and direct his hands with a glass to his mouth. Teach him to keep his head upright while drinking. And the next step, let me try to drink on my own.

    Simple rules

    • It is very important to create the right nutritional stereotype for the child. Before eating, remove toys from sight, do not turn on the TV.
    • Try to create a calm and friendly atmosphere at the table. Eating should not be associated with stress and negative emotions.
    • While feeding, you can teach your baby many other things: the names of dishes and food, discussing the taste of food.
    • Instill hygiene and aesthetic habits in your baby from an early age. He should get used to washing his hands before eating, using a napkin, saying “Thank you” after eating.
    • Set the table for a meal, use bright children’s dishes and fantasize about the appearance of the proposed dish.

    How the soul chooses parents

    views

    Today I want to start with one parable. A young couple, they gave birth to a child, came to the sage and asked him a question. So we gave birth to a child and wanted to learn from you how to raise him, where to start. The sage looked at them, says you are 9 months late. There is such a period, it is called the programming phase – this period is 9months before conception. Conception itself – 9 months – is in the mother’s tummy. Next is the birth of a child. Period up to a year of the child. This is the programming phase.

    Very often during the sessions we work on relationships with children: mother and child, when mother cannot find a common language with the child, when the child, well, does not perform that function or does not perceive information from parents or attached, very often sick, that’s all of us very often work through the sessions. And all this is very much influenced by the programming phase – this is the programming phase that starts the process in the child even before he is conceived.

    That is, how are his parents, what state are they in, and why did they create a couple, and what role will the child play in their life? What is this child for? Who is this child for? And in the future, the child begins to work on these programs. Julia is with us, let’s see how this phase works.

    The soul of a child before conception 9 months.

    This period before conception is 9 months before the conception of a child. How does it affect the child in the future. Where is the soul of a child? Who is he with? How? How is he attracted? This is how the soul is attracted to parents? Come on, Julia, let’s see this moment. Here’s to conception 9months, how does it happen, how do the condition of the parents influence in order to attract the child?

    – Well, now there is information that the soul is really, it is in the field of parents, in the field of the father, about a year before conception, there is such a rapprochement, I would even say how the fields merge, the souls of the child and parents. This is the time the child’s soul is with dad. Even regardless of whether dad and mom knew each other at that time. There is such, one might say, as a kind of acquaintance occurs.

    — Acquaintance with the father, it turns out, right?

    – With father. It just goes that the birth conception scenario is known in advance. That is why, even before conception, there is some kind of acquaintance with the parents.

    — And if this man, he has not yet decided which of the women to start a family with? Here he has two women, for one he has some deep feelings, and the other, let’s say, sympathy, and he has, let’s say, sex with both one and the other. Is it at this moment that the child chooses his mother?

    Before pregnancy planning

    – Yes, it is already selected. That is, already at the moment when a child comes to his father, he comes to his father, yes, but his mother gives birth! Yes? That is, this scenario is already known in advance. Just as the circumstances develop, they can develop in different ways, but to a greater extent they were known. And now there is information that there was such a period, this period is already ending, which is right to formulate correctly, this is when a tough scenario worked, and according to which souls went to incarnation. Here’s a tough script – a tough program. That is, this period is already ending, and in principle, if this still happens, then these are isolated cases. And now there is a period when the soul does not go to incarnation just like that. Let’s just say, there are no coincidences.

    — These two women, and one of them wants this man, and she wants me to get pregnant from him, and then the child would unite us and he wouldn’t run away from me anywhere. What then? How then is the child? How is it for a child.

    -I understood that. Now I will tell you that the soul is burdened. The soul of the child becomes heavy. This responsibility that the mother has taken upon herself, the decision that the mother makes, and for this decision the responsibility lies with the child, he becomes burdened and programs are turned on that make his fate more difficult. Here they are with such a burden on him.

    – so this woman put the responsibility on the child, right?

    Yes.

    -Okay, let’s say IVF. We had women who did IVF up to seven times. 1st time failed, 2nd time failed, 3rd time failed. And now a woman walks and she just wants to give birth, just to give birth. All my friends gave birth, but I didn’t give birth, for whom does she give birth then? It turns out that she gives birth for her friends, for her status, in order to establish that she is a woman.

    -Yes, for that too. Here you can immediately see that the child is strongly attached to the mother, becomes very strongly, as it were, behind the mother. When conception occurs, satisfaction, the soul is also responsible for the mother’s decision. Begins to adopt mother’s fate. Very close to mother.

    -Subsequently, the child grows up, and he cannot tear himself away from his mother? He does not let her go, or he is always there, or now he needs to be close to his mother.

    -This can be expressed in two ways: and the child may want to be close to his mother, just not let go, or vice versa: the resistance will be so strong that he cannot be with his mother, but at the same time, when he cannot be with his mother he gets sick. That is, subconsciously, he leaves his mother, moves away so as not to be around. The same is monitored even for adult children, if there are these programs, and the strong responsibility of the child for the decision of the parents, in particular the mother, then the child tries to run away from the mother, run away from her, but then he becomes ill, gets sick, he feels devastated or the relationship doesn’t work out. This can even apply to different areas of life.

    — Is there such a thing that the child begins to fulfill the goals of the parents?

    — Yes, there is such a thing as living a life other than your own. Continue to live the life of a mother or the life of his parents.

    The child is the protector of the pregnant mother

    — That is, at this moment he makes some decision for himself?

    — As a rule, often this is a decision to protect mother, to be close to mother, to be support and protection for mother. And this is a very heavy burden for a child – a very heavy burden that affects later his adult life.

    — And this happens unconsciously, doesn’t it?

    — Yes, it happens unconsciously. for a child, that is the task of adults, as future parents, to be responsible for themselves for what happens in their lives, for their decisions, for their actions and in every possible way to fence off the unborn child, from troubles or from conflicts or from some kind of anxiety. In this regard, it can be recommended, if the mother is pregnant, and some conflict situations occur, to tell the child that I am an adult, I can handle it, and you are a child, you are small. The child cannot be responsible for the actions and decisions of an adult. This works very powerfully and sobers up the parents themselves, the mother herself and calls her to responsibility for her life.

    – If the mother needed support, then the child becomes support for her, and if the mother hated the child like the father of the child, they, for example, separated, or she simply became pregnant from a man. She doesn’t need a child, but she will give birth to him in the future, and will the child’s attitude towards her, her mother, be such a rejection?

    — Yes, there will be such rejection. Because a woman projects her attitude towards her husband, or towards a man onto her child, and then the child already fulfills a role that is not his, he is in the wrong place, and like it or not, this burden is placed on him. This role is according to his position.

    – In terms of loneliness, a woman is afraid of being alone, she has this fear and in the future she cannot untie the child, she cannot go to the kitchen or go to the toilet there. The child runs after her, the child is constantly next to her. Could it work like this?

    — No, that can work that way too. I’ll even say more, such programs of strong attachment between parents, between mother, for the most part, between mother and child, they provoke allergic and strong reactions in the future. That is, at first, the mother is strongly attached to the child, she is in anxiety for him or in worries, or in fear. She takes care of him over-dimensionally, the child gets used to it, but it is clear that life develops in such a way that the child grows up, some kind of separation must occur, but the child is not ready. And when there is separation, separation, the mother needs to go to work or even literally go out somewhere – to the store or to devote some time for herself, the child is not ready. And such a separation for the child becomes very dramatic. Often this is accompanied by severe allergic reactions.

    — Thus, the child, the personality itself, becomes disposed towards certain illnesses, jobs, worldview, all this is obtained due to the mood, due to the state of his parents.

    Conception phase

    Yes. I want to go back a little to the Pre-Conception Phase. Why does this affect the child so much? Since the soul is close to her parents, she is already absorbing the state of her father and mother. That is, the state in which dad is, for example, if we take a scenario when a man could not decide for a long time which girl he should connect his life with. He likes one and loves the other. And the one I promised. And she doesn’t know what to say. Imagine the state of this man, he is at a loss, uncertainty. And the same state absorbs the soul of the unborn child through the field structures.

    And even if the parents are still unfamiliar for some time, but it already exists, it happens with dad, then mom already enters the field of the father and the field of the future family, let’s say, and the mother’s state – it also affects the future child. If the parents met, and there is a situation of uncertainty for the father, then the mother, even if she does not know that the future father has some kind of girlfriend, she can either feel it, or suspect, or even not know. But still, the state of anxiety will be reflected in it. And all this is prescribed by programs, like a canvas. Here such programs are prescribed on the subtle structures of the soul as a kind of canvas, thereby aggravating the fate of the unborn child.

    — But mom does it, conflict?

    – of course, the conflict is with both dad and mom. This is not a permitted situation.

    — So it turns out, the psychological conflicts of the parents, they become the conflict of the child. Yes?

    -Yes, it is because parents are part of the common field of the family, and this field already influences the formation of the future of both parents and the child. And there is nowhere to go from this. The only way out is to take a more responsible approach to the birth of children. Even for your life. Be more responsible to yourself, track your states, your thoughts, your life.

    — Yulia, another moment: this phase is 9 months before conception, does it also affect the non-birth of children, that is, they cannot get pregnant?

    – Suppose, if planned, the child is already in the family field. Even in the field of this kind, but their condition can provoke, such as miscarriage, then so. But if there are no children, then the problem is deeper. It is no longer only in the parents, but also in the genus. That is, in his world, is in the family. If a person lives, let’s say, on the machine, the generic program does not work subconsciously.

    While the baby is in the mother’s tummy

    – Good. Here is the next phase. Phase: while the child is in the mother’s tummy for these 9 months, or eight and a half, that is, in the womb. He also makes decisions there, both for mom and dad, what he needs to be, what he needs to do, what goal does he need to fulfill?

    — Yes, he definitely accepts, if adults cannot make this decision, they get stuck in conflict situations, then this decision falls automatically on the child, and the child then decides what to be, whom to support, which side to take on mother’s or father’s , in most cases on the mother’s side, but it happens that the child takes the father’s side. The gestation period is already

    it is clear that this is full contact between mother and child. There is a lot of information about this, and this period greatly affects the formation of the unborn child.

    — On his illness, on his temperament, on his perception, on his vibratory background, on everything.

    – on his well-being, well-being, happiness, luck, achievements, the opportunity to break through in this world. This also matters, as well as the birth itself. The very process of birth.

    What does a child feel in the 1st year of life.

    – Good. The 1st year of life is already direct interaction with the child. That is, he already, he already sees, he already feels, he already feels, he is already here in the process, in the family, with mom, with dad. And what role, what role should he play here? Is it like an anchor? Yes, this 1st year of life! This decision is the decision that he made in the womb of his mother, the child can change it, let’s say in the 1st year of life? In this phase, in this period?

    – A child, while a sponge, or he is very plastic, he can change his mind, and he himself changes under the influence of his parents and the environment in which he is brought up, in which he is, that is, if the parents begin, so to speak, to get up on the true path, 9 months, or let’s say, there a year and a half before that they were somewhere in prostration, and then they realize: hopa, I had a baby. Let me do something about it. How do you learn to live with it. And they start to turn on, then yes, it’s all fixable, and everything changes.

    It changes by upbringing, attitude, the environment shapes the child. I’ll even say more, looking ahead: that it’s never too late, even if your awareness turned on when your children are already teenagers, or when they already have children of their own and you want to build relationships with them, then it’s never too late. A conscious attitude, let’s say, living certain life moments correct the situation. That’s what a person lives for, so that he learns and develops.

    – We will summarize. Be mindful of planning for children. As it should be, there should not be a clear understanding of why you have a child. What child will be. Dream, think, imagine who you want, who the child will be, how will he be in society? How will you be with the child, how much love are you ready to give the child – pure thoughts and pure understanding. But here awareness comes first.

    — Yes, to be conscious and responsible for your life in general. And not only with regards to the birth of children.

    – If you feel that something is isolated in you, there are some conflicts or unresolved issues with children, in a relationship. Mom is a child, dad is a child. We are working on these moments, we invite you. We are ready. That’s all for today. All the best, all the best.

    Now you don’t belong in the bathroom: when a father should stop washing his daughter

    At what age should a child wash himself

    Each child is individual, and there is no certain age when he “should” be able to do something. Therefore, experts call the period for which parents can only focus.

    In a conversation with Gazeta.Ru, Yulia Tokarchuk, a researcher at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Modern Childhood at the Moscow State University of Psychology and Education, answered this question as follows:

    “The age of self-washing can only be estimated approximately: from five to seven years. It is always important to remember that every child develops at their own pace.”

    At the same time, the child’s ability to perform hygiene procedures depends on several factors:

    • development of fine and gross motor skills;

    • the ability to coordinate one’s actions;

    • knowledge of bathroom safety rules;

    • understanding the consequences of one’s actions.

    Ekaterina Klopotova, teacher-psychologist, candidate of psychological sciences, associate professor of the Department of Preschool Pedagogy and Psychology, Faculty of Psychology of Education, Moscow State University of Psychology and Education, explains at what age a child should learn to control his body and movements:

    “Development of motor skills so that the child can not only hold slippery soap in his hands, hold a washcloth and lather himself, pour himself from the shower, but also stand confidently on a slippery surface, group up if he loses balance, is formed by the age of five or six . If this did not happen by the end of preschool age (six or seven years), it is worth consulting with a specialist.

    But psychological readiness is already more individual. Psychologist Klopotova emphasizes that some of the children are ready to stay indoors as early as three years old, while for some it causes concern even at the age of ten.

    In some cases, children need parental assistance regardless of their age. For example, girls cannot always cope with long hair, and a child with disabilities may not be able to do every task in the bathroom.

    How to teach your child to wash themselves

    Although many children are able to wash themselves without the help of their parents from the age of five or six, do not expect it to happen overnight. It is important to teach a child to be independent in advance, and this must be done in a calm environment, without unnecessary emotions and strict requirements.

    Psychologist Yuliya Tokarczuk named the age when it is good for a child to try to wash himself:

    “At about the age of four, a child can be left alone in the bathroom for a while so that he can play and splash. You should visit periodically to make sure the process is safe. After making sure that the child copes with washing himself, you can agree that, after completing all the procedures, he will call you himself.

    However, not all children at the age of four are ready to spend at least half a minute in the bathroom all alone. What if the child successfully copes with the task physically, but feels uncomfortable without your presence?

    According to psychologist Ekaterina Klopotova, it is not worth insisting that the child get used to being in the bathroom without adults right now. There are techniques that are gentle on the child’s psyche:

    “Hang up a curtain. You will be in the bathroom, and let him wash behind the curtain – this is already some experience in solving problems at a distance from an adult. Find an excuse to go out for a couple of minutes and come back. Later, arrange to go out for a longer interval, but leave the door slightly ajar.”

    Parents should look for compromises that will allow them to gradually accustom their children to the absence of adults nearby. With this approach, the child will feel comfortable.

    In the first year of life, the child develops the most important skills on which his future depends …

    In the process of learning, many parents encounter minor troubles – a child spills water on the floor, drops a washcloth, squeezes out as much shampoo at a time as would be enough for a week. Some adults cannot stand it and again begin to control their son or daughter in everything.

    In such cases, Yuliya Tokarczuk recommends parents to be patient:

    “It is logical that the child will need much more time to complete some tasks than you. However, the separation process is definitely not worth delaying because of this.”

    Does the gender of the parent who washes the child matter?

    “Until it starts embarrassing the son or daughter. The formation of gender-role identification is a broad age-related task and it takes place not in the bathroom, but in the daily life of the child. As soon as it begins to form, children begin to show embarrassment. From this moment on, an adult of the opposite sex should not be in the bathroom with a child, ”says Ekaterina Klopotova, Associate Professor of the Department of Preschool Pedagogy and Psychology.

    As educational psychologist Yuliya Tokarchuk clarifies, girls and boys begin to feel embarrassed about parents of the opposite sex, as a rule, after three years: gender. Most often, children themselves begin to define their own boundaries. This is due to the natural need to become an autonomous person and awareness of one’s gender.”

    What will happen if you continue to wash a child of school age

    Any elementary school student aged seven to take years, if we are not talking about children with disabilities, is able to independently carry out hygiene procedures. However, some parents continue to do for the child what he can handle himself.

    Yuliya Tokarchuk warns of what this may lead to in the future:

    “By continuing to wash a child of school age, the parent, as it were, takes his responsibility upon himself, supports his infantilism and limits his desire for independence.

    Medically reviewed by Carissa Stephens, R. N., CCRN, CPN — By Catherine Crider on April 30, 2020

    “Waaahhhh! Waaaahhh!” Just the thought of a crying baby can make your blood pressure rise. Nonstop crying is especially stressful for new parents who might not know how to make it stop!

    You may have been warned about the dreaded “witching hour” — those late afternoon and early evening hours when your baby just can’t seem to settle down.

    For many parents, it seems like the hours stretch on forever. But rest assured, your baby is not the only one who seems unsettled in the evening. Nighttime fussiness is common for babies.

    Still new parents want to know: Why is it happening? How long will it last? And perhaps most importantly, how do you get it to stop? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with the information you need to survive (and dare we say thrive?) during this challenging time.

    The following might be causes your baby is suddenly fussy in the evening:

    • Growth spurt hunger. As your baby goes through phases of intense growth (common growth spurts occur around 2 to 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months), they may be hungry and want to cluster feed.
    • Slower milk letdown. While many moms assume a fussy baby isn’t getting enough to eat, that may not always be the case. Still, your milk composition changes at night, and you may experience a slower milk flow. The change in milk volume might make for a cranky baby.
    • Gas. If your baby is feeling gassy, and they can’t seem to pass it out of their tiny digestive system, they may feel very uncomfortable!
    • Overtired baby. It’s a common misconception that keeping a baby awake longer will make them sleep longer. By the end of the day, if your little one has gone too long without a good nap they’ll be very tired. An overtired baby will have a hard time settling down.
    • Overstimulated baby. A baby’s underdeveloped nervous system is more sensitive to bright lights, sounds, and changes in their environment. For instance, you may notice the light of the TV in a dark room, or maybe the volume alone, makes your baby cry.
    • Colic. While all babies cry, if you find that your baby is crying for three hours or more, for three days a week, for three or more weeks, it’s time to see the doctor! Your pediatrician should do a thorough exam to rule out other conditions.

    You may first notice your baby getting a little fussier in the evening hours when they hit 2 to 3 weeks of age. This period will likely correspond with a growth spurt and some increased cluster feeding.

    For many babies the peak of evening fussiness occurs around 6 weeks. If you’re reaching that point, hold onto hope that it’s about to get better!

    While there is no guaranteed time when babies outgrow the “witching hour,” it often ends around 3 to 4 months of age.

    Calming a fussy baby can seem like an intricate dance that you’ll never be able to master. You may find that a technique that works today won’t work tomorrow. Fear not, though. We’ve got you covered with plenty of suggestions to try calming your fussy baby.

    • Wear your baby. Not only does babywearing free up your hands to finish those end-of-day tasks, but being close to your heartbeat is extremely comforting for your little one.
    • Take a walk. Not only can a change of environment be good for your baby, but the rhythm of walking is often a game changer. Bonus: meeting up with another adult to chat as you walk will help you keep your sanity!
    • Reduce stimulation. Turn down the lights, reduce noises, and swaddle your baby to make it easier for their nervous system to calm. Doing so might even convince your baby to take a short cat nap.
    • Give baby a massage. Touch is a great way to relax and bond with your baby. While you could incorporate oils or specific types of touch, massage is still effective when it’s very basic.
    • Start bath time. Water can be extremely soothing for little ones and a great distraction. Even better, you’ll have a clean baby afterwards!
    • Soothe with sound. Ssshhhing, soft music, and white noise can all be effective ways to soothe your little one. Don’t be afraid to experiment playing different types of music and different types of vocalists. You may be surprised by what your baby likes, and it may change from day to day!
    • Vary breastfeeding positions. If your baby is hungry and keeps wanting to feed, try switching up positions. Even simple changes to your position can impact milk flow and your baby’s comfort.

    If your baby seems to have gas, you may want to:

    • Spend extra time burping baby. If your baby doesn’t burp after a few minutes of trying, it’s OK to move on and try something else!
    • Bicycle their legs in the air. This technique is also useful if your baby is constipated.
    • Try over-the-counter options. Before you consider gripe water or gas drops, discuss options with your baby’s doctor first.
    • Choose slow-flow bottle nipples. By adjusting the nipple flow, less air may enter your baby’s digestive system with their milk.
    • Change your baby’s formula. Before giving up on a beloved formula brand, you can also consider trying the same formula in a ready-made formula version, which might lead to less gas than the powdered kind.
    • Experiment with your diet. If your breastfed baby is showing signs of gas discomfort and you’ve tried other solutions to no avail, it may be time to consider eliminating certain foods from your diet. (Foods to consider avoiding include dairy products and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli.)

    The late afternoon and early evening hours may seem very long if you have a fussy baby. Understanding the potential causes of your baby’s fussiness and trying different methods to soothe your little one will help you get through the witching hour. Remember that this, too, will pass.

    My baby fusses or cries when breastfeeding

    By Kelly Bonyata, BS, IBCLC

    © Lsantilli – Fotolia.com

    Some babies will fuss, cry or pull off the breast during breastfeeding. There are a number of reasons why this might be happening. It’s pretty common to see this type of behavior at around 6-8 weeks, though it can occur at any time. If your baby is generally fussy (not just when nursing) see My baby is fussy! Is something wrong?

     

    Determining the problem

    Here are some of the problem-solving steps I go through when my baby is fussy at the breast or a mother asks me why her baby is fussing while breastfeeding:

    How old is baby? Most babies go through growth spurts during the first few days at home and around 7-10 days, 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, etc. Many babies are fussy during growth spurts.

    Is baby working on anything new developmentally? Babies who are starting to notice the world around them can be notoriously distractible. Any kind of new developmental step that baby is working on can affect nursing temporarily, whether it be fussy nursing behavior or simply more frequent nursing.

    When is baby fussing? To figure out the cause it’s helpful to pay attention to when the fussy behavior happens, both during the nursing session and during the day.

    If baby is fussy right when your milk is letting down (or immediately after), there’s a good chance that the fussy nursing is related to a fast let-down. If baby is fussy before let-down, or a few minutes into nursing (and a while after let-down), then baby may be impatient for the fast flow of milk that comes with let-down. Fussing at the end of a nursing session (or what seems to be the end) may mean that baby needs to burp, or is ready to finish nursing, or just wants to suck (and doesn’t want to deal with a new let-down at this point), or wants to continue nursing on the other side or with a faster flow of milk.

    If the fussy behavior is mainly in the mornings, it might be due to a faster than usual let-down if baby has just had a longer sleep period and mom’s breasts are fuller than usual. If baby is fussier during evening nursings, it may be due to the normal fussy time that most babies have during the evening. Although most babies don’t react to foods that mom eats, some do. If you eat a particular food at about the same time each day (or most days) and baby has a regular time where she fusses during nursing, try not eating that food for a week or two to see if things improve.

    Does fussing occur on both sides equally or only on one side? Most moms have a faster let-down and/or a more abundant milk supply on one side than the other, so if your baby fusses more on one side, it may be due to these differences.

    What else is going on with baby? Is she sick or teething? Is something new or different going on in her environment? Has she started solids or is she trying a new food? Is she exhibiting other symptoms besides the fussy nursing?

    Below are discussions of some of the different things that can lead to fussy nursing behavior. Keep in mind that the problem may also be a combination of several things.

    Does baby need to burp?

    Many babies will cry, fuss, pull off the breast, etc. if they need to burp. Try to burp between breasts and after a feeding, but don’t worry if baby does not burp and is content. Breastfed babies overall don’t take in as much air during a feeding as bottle-fed babies do, so usually don’t need to burp as often. If baby has been crying before she nurses, or is so hungry that she nurses “frantically” or if mom has a fast let-down, baby could be taking in more air and may need to be burped more often.

    Burping is usually only necessary during the first few months, though it may extend longer. Once your baby is moving more freely, she will be able to relieve the gastric gas herself. This usually will occur between the 4th and 6th month, but may be shorter in some children and longer in others.

    If baby has a hard time burping, try burping more often during a feeding. The best burping position is one that applies firm pressure to the baby’s tummy. Placing baby over the shoulder way up so that there is pressure on baby’s abdomen often works well. Walking around while doing this might distract her long enough to get a good burp. You may even want to lie baby down on her stomach and burp her that way.

     

    Growth spurt

    Babies often pull off and fuss during growth spurts. Most babies go through growth spurts, sometimes called frequency days, during the first few days at home and around 7-10 days, 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and 9 months (more or less). More growth spurt information in this link.

     

    Distractible baby

    If baby seems to be pulling off the breast at any distraction (real or imaginary), then see The Distractible Baby.

     

    Forceful let-down

    Some babies will pull off the breast soon after let-down if mom has a forceful let-down. Baby may be frustrated by the too-fast flow of milk with let-down. A too-forceful let-down can also cause excessive gas or spitting up/vomiting. There is more information here on symptoms of and how to deal with a fast let-down reflex.

     

    Slow let-down

    Some babies get very impatient if mom has a slow let-down. There is more information here on speeding up a slow let-down reflex.

    Baby wants a faster milk flow

    Even very young babies can be quick to notice that pulling off, kneading the breast, etc. can cause an additional let-down, and can facilitate a faster, easier milk flow. Some babies become impatient with the slower milk flow following the initial fast flow at let-down. This may or may not be related to a slow let-down.

    When a feeding begins at the breast there are drops of milk. Then when the initial let-down occurs (several seconds to a minute into the feeding), the milk flow speeds up quite a bit. At that time it may drip very quickly, squirt, or even spray. Some minutes later it slows again and the baby must continue to suck vigorously in order to elicit further let-downs. This pattern can continue through successive, multiple let-downs as long as the baby is continuing to nurse vigorously. Eventually, baby will learn that the flow will pick back up again if she’ll only continue to vigorously suck/swallow.

    With bottle feeding, the flow is instant and continuous. The baby is required to work very little. Once a baby has had a bottle, especially a lot of bottles, she may begin to prefer the ease of bottle-feeding over the work of breastfeeding. She may become frustrated at the breast after the first let-down occurs and the flow of milk begins to slow.

    If baby is getting bottles you might consider putting them away, at least for a while. When you must use a bottle, only use a newborn nipple for as long as baby will tolerate it so that she never gets a really fast flow of milk from the bottle, but has to work a little more to get the milk.

    Sometimes babies of moms with oversupply or fast let-down will also get very used to the fast flow and object when it normally slows somewhere between 3 weeks to 3 months.

    It can be helpful to do some breast compression when this fussiness starts or right before you expect it to. This will help speed up the milk flow again. Once compression stops helping, try switching baby to the other side when she begins to fuss and back and forth again (after using compression) as you need to.

     

    Baby is done nursing for the moment

    If baby is fussing after she’s been nursing for a while, and you’ve ruled out other causes, she may be in the process of changing her nursing pattern. Babies become very efficient at the breast with growth and maturity. They can milk the breast in a lot less time per feeding session than they required before. Baby’s frustration may just be a sign that she’s finished and wants to move on.

    On a similar note, an occasional baby will just want to suck at the end of a nursing session and the flow of milk with let-down frustrates her. You might see if offering her a finger or pacifier (if baby is older than 4-6 weeks) to suck on during these times seems to help.

     

    Baby prefers one side

    Sometimes babies will refuse or fuss at a breast when the let-down is slower or too forceful, or the supply a bit lower. They in turn will prefer the side which lets down more/less quickly and in which the supply is more bountiful. See also: Lopsided! What can I do?

     

    Fussy in the evening

    Many young babies tend to pull off and fuss at the breast in the evening. See the article Cluster Feeding and Fussy Evenings.

     

    Teething

    Teething can cause fussy nursing behavior, as some babies experience gum discomfort with sucking. Baby might start to nurse, but then pull off and cry or fuss and not want to nurse anymore. See Teething for more information and tips.

     

    Thrush

    Frequent pulling off the breast can be a symptom of thrush.

     

    Stuffy nose

    A stuffy nose can cause fussy nursing behavior. If your baby has a stuffy nose and is having a hard time breathing and nursing at the same time, see colds & congestion.

     

    Allergy or food sensitivity

    Some babies with allergies or food sensitivities exhibit fussy nursing behavior. Often when there is a sensitivity to something in mom’s diet, baby will come to the breast hungry but when she tastes/smells something in the milk that will cause her GI distress, she pulls off, bats her head back and forth, etc. Sensitivities to foods in mom’s diet are rare. If this is the problem, you will most likely notice other symptoms, such as excessive spitting up or vomiting, colic, diarrhea, rash, persistent congestion or runny nose, or excessive gas. More information on food sensitivities in babies and links to more allergy information can be found in my article Dairy and other Food Sensitivities in Breastfed Babies.

     

    Low milk supply

    Low milk supply can cause baby to be fussy at the breast. If you feel that your milk supply may be low, see this page for more info: Increasing low milk supply.

     

    Reflux

    Reflux can result in baby being fussy at the breast. See Reflux and Breastfeeding for more information.

    Restless baby – how to improve sleep and feeding

    Restless baby does not go to bed at the “right” time, often wakes up at night and is naughty when feeding, which has a bad effect on his development. What explains poor sleep and restless behavior during meals and how to help the baby, we will find out from the pediatrician, medical consultant of the SMART-MAMA project Polina Aleksandrovna Kizino.

    — Polina Alexandrovna, many young parents have a restless newborn child. What are the reasons for this?

    – Restless feeding and restless sleep may or may not occur separately.

    Restless sleep in infants

    — It is important to understand that during the first month the baby sleeps restlessly due to physiology. It adapts to new living conditions, including the mother’s ability to establish lactation. In most cases, the baby will ask for food and fall asleep after feeding. Over time, the baby will move to longer intervals between feedings and will wake up less often.

    When there are frequent awakenings

    Periods of lactation crisis during breastfeeding Nutrition is calculated based on the baby’s body weight. And the higher the weight of the baby, the more energy he needs, and therefore more nutrition. But during periods of growth spurts, the mother’s body does not have time to adapt to the increased needs of the child, and at some time the baby begins to ask for the breast more often both day and night.
    Breast or bottle sucking has become an association with sleep At three to four months, babies become very sensitive to the way they lie down. And if the baby falls asleep with the help of a breast or a bottle, then the mother will have to feed him and help him calm down.

    – Such stories of restless sleep and frequent feedings are not uncommon not only at four months, but also at a year and a half, and even closer to two years, if the parents do not take any action.

    Baby suckling restlessly at the breast

    — If the baby behaves restlessly during feeding, the reasons are also varied:

    • wrong breast latch;
    • breast overflowing with milk;
    • lack of milk during lactation crisis;
    • abundance of gas in the intestines, etc.

    Due to the variety of reasons for a child’s anxiety, it is very important for a mother to see a doctor in order to accurately determine the problem.

    — At what age are children most likely to be restless?

    – Everything is very individual, but several critical periods can be distinguished.

    1. The first weeks of microflora formation

    — After childbirth, the intestines are gradually populated first by some microorganisms, then by others. And at a time when its own microflora is not yet balanced, a newborn may have transient intestinal catarrh – loose stools, increased gas formation, anxiety.

    2. Up to 4-6 months due to the inability to poop

    – At this age, children still cannot coordinate all the muscles that are involved in the process of defecation, and when they urge, they cannot do anything, no matter how hard they try. You can help them, but sometimes it is better to let them learn how to empty themselves.

    3. 1 month and about 4 or 6 months against the background of a lactation crisis

    — Lactation crises for each woman proceed individually, so there is no need to wait for a problem at a specific time.

    4. 1 month, 2, 5, 4 months, and so on, when there are growth spurts

    — Anxiety is especially acute at four months, when the sleep structure is restructured: the child begins to wake up quite often. Sleep is a priority in the first year of life, and the baby needs help.

    5. Mastering New Skills

    – Each new skill you master brings a huge amount of experience. For example, when a child confidently begins to hold his head, he begins to see the world from a completely different angle, and, of course, this cannot but excite him. The processes of excitation in infants prevail over the processes of inhibition, therefore, during the first year of life, there are a lot of stages when the baby is restless.

    Each new skill leads to the fact that for about two weeks the child practices it in sleep, while awake and at any time of eating. This, of course, can leave an imprint on the behavior of the baby.

    Symptoms and signs of anxiety that parents should look out for first

    Feeding anxiety

    • Assess for changes in stool consistency and color.
    • When measuring weight and height, they are not guided by exact age gains – they look at the dynamics of the weight and height indicator for a particular child.
    Anxiety during sleep

    • It is important whether the child sleeps enough according to age. If he does not get his daily allowance, then severe anxiety can accumulate. This will affect feeding, games, and development: the child will only hang in the arms of his mother.

    — How to understand that poor sleep and appetite are associated with anxiety, and not with colic or other problems?

    – If the child does not sleep or eat well because of his discomfort, then there will be obvious symptoms – fever, a full tummy or other signs that need to be addressed. After that, the child will be able to sleep better and eat better.

    It often happens that the baby’s stomach is all right, there is no temperature, runny nose, rash on the body, but mothers are looking for “wrong” reasons and go to a neurologist. However, at the same time, they simply forget to evaluate the diet and sleep regimen – to see if something hurts the child, whether he can withstand the feeding and sleeping regimen, whether he is gaining weight and growth well.

    If the weight and height are unsatisfactory, the child may be undernourished or, more rarely, the absorption of food due to lactase deficiency or an allergy to cow’s milk proteins. Naturally, because of hunger, sleep will also be restless; there may even be a lag in development – if the situation drags on.

    – Anxiety in a baby does not appear without a reason, and this is not a whim, right?

    — There are reasons for any whims. It is also important to remember about the emotional and psychological background: have you played and talked enough with the child today, is it interesting for him to lie in the crib. The child is completely dependent on adults and is not even able to change the position of the body without their help.

    — Does the emotional state of the parents affect the anxiety of the child?

    — The emotional state of parents is a very important component in children’s well-being. The baby communicates non-verbally: he does not yet know the meanings of words, he perceives mainly emotions, catching the tone of speech, reading the facial expressions of his parents. Therefore, he knows when mom and dad are in a good mood and when they are anxious, uncomfortable, sad.

    In addition, a small child sees himself through the eyes of adults who care for him and are nearby. And if the child observes that the mother is in a state of anxiety and sadness, then he adopts her mood and projects it onto himself. The baby does not yet have any markers of his own: he does not see himself in the mirror, does not realize what facial expressions he has, but fixes exactly parental emotions and begins to live them.

    A very restless baby: how to help

    Folk remedies Their effectiveness has not been scientifically proven. But when a mother strongly believes in folk remedies, she begins to calm down and relax herself when using them, and her level of anxiety is removed, this has a good effect on the child.
    Special preparations If the child’s complaints have been discussed with the pediatrician and are medically proven by him after taking an anamnesis and medical tests, appropriate therapy can be prescribed. But if the child just does not sleep well, you need to build a regimen, and not take any medicine unreasonably.
    Massage Professional massage helps to get rid of, for example, excess gas in the intestines. Mom’s massage provides prolonged contact and attention, which helps the baby to relax and feel more comfortable.
    Sleep and wakefulness Normalization of sleep and wakefulness, feeding and games, if there is no pathology, helps to calm down. With a clear daily routine for the baby, everything becomes extremely predictable, which means it is calm and safe. And it’s convenient for mom: she has a certain plan of action, and she doesn’t worry about the fact that something can go wrong.
    Environment A change of location can work as a distraction if the child is in pain: he will begin to look at everything new around him and get a little distracted from pain. But sometimes, for example, against the background of severe overwork of the child, such changes can become a negative factor.

    — When should parents contact a pediatrician?

    — Everything is individual: some mothers cope with difficult cases on their own, and some are very worried and run to the doctor for any reason. In fact, it is very important that the mother is comfortable and calm. I always say: even if the cause of concern seems insignificant, but you are still worried, consult a doctor. Perhaps the doctor will see something that you did not notice. Of course, if the baby cries for fifteen to twenty minutes, you do not need to contact the doctors.

    When to call an ambulance for a face-to-face examination of a child by a doctor:

    • the child is very capricious, constantly worried;
    • the child cries for several hours and does not calm down;
    • the general condition of the child differs from the daily.

    — Is it possible to teach a baby to sleep peacefully all night?

    – This is absolutely real and happens sooner than parents think. But you need to understand that sleeping peacefully does not mean not asking for food. Up to a year, the baby has the right to eat once or twice a night – and then sleep peacefully.

    To teach a child to sleep peacefully, parents need a certain scheme and willpower. Unfortunately, often children suffer from the inconstancy of adults and do not understand what is required of them. A lot depends on parental behavior: after all, the child somehow adapts to the rules that exist in the family.

    Theoretically, by the age of three, a child can “outgrow” anxiety. But even before this age, neither the baby nor the parents need constant sleepless nights. Therefore, it is easier to find the strength in yourself, build a regimen and, in a relatively short period of time, come to a good sleep.

    — Why do doctors not recommend forcibly forcing a child to eat and sleep?

    — Getting to sleep is difficult: the child will only be more worried. You can guess the time for laying, and then the baby will learn this skill pretty quickly.

    Refusal to eat happens for a reason: the baby does not eat because of illness, high temperature, when his body is not ready to absorb food. But older children may refuse food in protest or to make their parents worried.

    Therefore, instead of feeding and putting the baby to sleep by force, it is better to analyze the possible causes of poor appetite and poor sleep, to understand how to do it in such a way as to normalize the situation. You can offer your child food at a different time, in different quantities, at a different temperature, put him to bed with new rituals – you need to find an approach to him.

    — What is the risk of anxiety if it does not go away with age?

    – Poor night sleep, constant lack of sleep will affect the development of the nervous system. During sleep, the nervous system is more active than during wakefulness. In a state of activity, the child works on the world around him, and when falling asleep, his brain focuses its attention on the functioning of internal organs, certain nerve connections are a very fragile system that must be in balance, which is important for the health of the baby and optimal child development.

    Preventive measures to help prevent anxiety in the child:

    • maintaining an adequate diet and sleep;
    • walks and water procedures;
    • child supervision;
    • the ability to quickly assess his condition and respond to his needs;
    • organization of a healthy life.

    Usually, by the end of the first month, a mother learns to distinguish between types of crying, begins to understand what is bothering the child at a particular moment.

    There can be many causes for concern in the infant, which must be differentiated together with the pediatrician during the examination in order to rule out any disease in the first place. But the restless state of the baby in the daytime or at night largely depends on the psychological state of the mother and the relationship of the parents. The child does not know how to regulate his condition. It is a big mistake to think that he will eat, sleep and calm down himself. The task of parents is to organize an adequate regimen of feeding, walking and sleeping so that the child has a comfortable state. Warm emotional contact with the baby is also important.

    *The ideal food for an infant is mother’s milk. WHO recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months. MAMAKO® supports this recommendation. Before introducing new foods into your baby’s diet, consult with a specialist.

    Why the child does not sleep well | Why does the child often wake up

    Often, newborn babies do not sleep well at night. The fact is that at a very early age, superficial sleep prevails over deep phases, so children often wake up. The physiological need for feeding may also be the reason for nocturnal awakenings.

    Indeed, a child’s good sleep indicates his health. And if a newborn does not sleep well, often wakes up, cries, this alarms the parents, and they seek help from a doctor. Parents of young children are especially often worried, because not being doctors, they cannot be sure of the health of the little man, whom you cannot ask: “What happened? Does anything hurt?”

    Intestinal colic in a baby is not a pathology, but a natural reaction of the child’s body to new living conditions.

    How can I help my baby cope with colic?

    It is necessary to use a probiotic for children, containing a complex of beneficial bacteria that help reduce the risk of dysbiosis in infants and normalize the intestinal microflora from birth.

    In the first months after the birth of a baby, parents face many difficulties, and abdominal colic in a child is a common problem, the consequences of which are restless sleep. Severe abdominal pain in infants is considered by many as an unpleasant, but natural phenomenon. In fact, there are ways to help the child in such a situation and even prevent colic. What to do?

    Symptoms and signs of colic in newborns

    Colic is severe pain in the abdomen due to a buildup of gas. Their cause is an imbalance in the intestinal microflora. It can be difficult for young mothers to understand what is happening with the child: the baby is worried and crying for an unknown reason. However, there are some signs that make it possible to recognize colic. Their signs include:

    • a characteristic posture – the fists are tightly compressed, the legs are pulled up to the stomach;
    • redness of the face;
    • restless sleep and frequent crying;
    • bloating – it becomes hard;
    • watery mucus stools;
    • frequent regurgitation and flatulence.

    Causes of colic in children

    Most often, abdominal colic in a child does not appear immediately after birth, but at the age of three to four weeks. By one and a half to two months, the attacks become especially acute. What are the reasons for their appearance?

    The fact is that during the first days of life, the baby encounters bacteria that are completely unfamiliar to his immune system.

    Such bacteria enter the child’s body from the environment, and it is impossible to avoid this, and it is not necessary. Among hundreds of these microorganisms, opportunistic bacteria are necessarily present – those that normally do not harm us, but under certain conditions can actively multiply and cause malaise. The baby’s body is an ideal environment for such bacteria. Babies do not yet have beneficial intestinal microflora, their defense system is just being formed, too few enzymes are produced for proper digestion.

    Therefore, dysbiosis occurs – an imbalance in the intestinal microflora. The baby experiences discomfort, the stool becomes watery or mucous, the baby does not sleep well.

    Colic is a common problem in babies under the age of four months.

    Fortunately, often these symptoms go away on their own after about two weeks, without causing any particular trouble to either the child or the mother.

    The baby’s digestive system gradually adapts, the number of lacto- and bifidobacteria grows, these “little defenders” restrain the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.

    However, sometimes everything does not go according to plan: the formation of the correct microflora is late, and the child develops colic.

    Why is this happening?

    Doctors identify several risk factors, including prematurity, infectious diseases, taking antibiotics, artificial feeding, and prolonged stay of the child separately from the mother. The more the baby is in contact with the mother, the faster his immune system “learns” to interact with the outside world. Allergies can also affect the occurrence of colic. Air entering the stomach also plays a role – this happens during feeding if the baby does not grasp the breast correctly. However, even more often air enters the gastrointestinal tract with artificial feeding.

    Normal intestinal microflora in a child is very important: it not only participates in metabolism and promotes proper development, but also performs a protective function, forming immunity.

    What is the treatment for colic?

    Can you help a child with colic? Of course, however, the approach should be comprehensive and systematic:

    Proper nutrition of mother. If rash, constipation, or too frequent stools are added to colic, there are reasons to suspect an allergy. Everything that the mother eats indirectly enters the child’s body. The main “suspects” are eggs, soy, fiber-rich vegetables, some dairy products, hot spices, nuts. At the same time, everything is very individual, so it is necessary to consult a doctor, identify the foods that cause problems, and temporarily exclude them from the mother’s diet. In addition, it is advisable for lactating women to take probiotic preparations, since the maternal microflora has a significant effect on the baby’s body. Probiotics promote the growth of beneficial microflora, which suppresses pathogenic microorganisms.

    Proper feeding technique. It is important to ensure that the baby tightly grips the breast during feeding (not only the nipple, but also the halo of the breast). And if the baby is bottle-fed, you need to select a nipple of a suitable size and shape with a hole that will “give” a comfortable portion of the mixture at a time, and hold the bottle at an angle of 45 0.

    Change of posture. The more time a child spends lying down, almost without movement, the higher the risk of developing colic. After feeding the baby, it should be worn on the shoulder in an upright position for some time – so the swallowed air will come out without entering the intestines.

    Gymnastics and massage. Simple exercises, such as alternately bending the legs to the stomach, and a gentle circular massage of the tummy will help you quickly get rid of gases.

    Heat. A heating pad or warm bath can greatly relieve the painful condition. The heat relieves tension and relaxes the muscles.

    Probiotics. Preparations containing live bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are a quick and radical solution to the problem of colic. They normalize the intestinal microflora and help the baby and mother to overcome the difficult period of adaptation of the gastrointestinal tract without difficulty.

    Probiotics for intestinal dysbiosis

    Colic in babies is very often the result of dysbiosis – a lack of beneficial bacteria in the body that help digestion. The intestinal microflora of a child reaches maturity at about two and a half years: by this age it is already similar to the intestinal flora of an adult.

    Infancy is the most important period when the formation of flora can be influenced and, therefore, to optimize the development of the baby. You can help the growth of the “correct” microflora by taking probiotics – preparations containing beneficial bacteria. In the early period, it is important to select children’s forms of funds – drops with a complex composition containing both bifidus and lactobacilli. Both types of bacteria are present in our intestines, their ratio in the body is individual, however, both are necessary for the formation of intestinal microflora and proper digestion.

    Moreover, bifidobacteria and lactobacilli have different functions. Lactobacilli help protect the baby from food allergies and atopic reactions, normalize stools and relieve diarrhea, strengthen the defense system of the child’s body. Bifidobacteria are essential for proper absorption of nutrients, healthy intestinal motility, the synthesis of many vital vitamins and the formation of the natural microflora of the gastrointestinal tract.

    Both types of bacteria affect not only digestion, but also the formation of the child’s immunity and the rate of weight gain. They prevent the appearance of colic, which means that the baby will be able to develop and rest calmly.

    The use of probiotics from the very first days of a baby’s life allows you to completely avoid colic, bloating, indigestion and allergic reactions. Of course, this is not a guarantee, but the risk of all these troubles will be many times less, because you will form a healthy intestinal microflora in a child in advance.

    What to give the baby to normalize the intestinal microflora?

    If you need to choose the right treatment for your baby, you should pay attention to probiotics. The products are designed to combat colic in babies, improve digestion and form a healthy microflora. Lactobacillus (Lactobacillus rhamnosus) reduces the risk of dysbiosis and allergies, helps to cope with colic, works as a prevention of diarrhea in babies who are treated with antibiotics, and strengthens the body’s defense system.
