The good Baby Wear Breastfeeding Breast Left Right Every 10 Minutes

Mother sometimes let the baby stay long in one breast until full milk, which consequently makes the baby is only familiar with one breast only. We recommend that you give them 10 minutes on each breast so that both breasts can be issued with the perfect milk.

Babies who are exclusively breastfed 6 months have figures lower incidence of infection, preventing obesity and diabetes and to provide protection against breast cancer in the mother.

There are some mothers who choose to feed the baby 'on demand' (waiting for the baby who is breastfed ask) which means breastfeeding whenever the baby shows signs of hunger and in accordance with the wishes of the baby.

And some are breastfeeding routines based on time and let the baby suckle by the number of a certain time limit, for example, every 3 hours once feeding. Usually carried out about 10 minutes for each breast.

The researchers found feeding time limit for 10 minutes on each breast will add more weight at the age of 6-8 weeks and more likely for the baby to continue to breastfeed up to more than 12 weeks compared with infants who breastfeed are 'on demand'.

"Although this study is not large enough in scale, but I agree that most babies should get breast milk from both breasts and parents should offer it to the baby," said Dr Lisa Amir, lactation consultants and researchers from Latrobe University, as quoted of ABC.net.au, Friday (16/12/2011).

Some women occasionally let the baby stay long in one breast to a lot of milk, but this will make the baby get used to one breast only. For that provides 10 minutes of each breast and give the other breast is a better idea.

However, the method provides a time limit for breastfeeding can not apply to all infants, this is because every baby is different so the mother should know how to breastfeed like what makes a mother and baby feel comfortable.

"The important thing is to give both the lactating breast to the baby and not just one of them alone," said Dr. Helen Oddy, nutritionists and researchers from the Telethon Institute for Child Research in Perth.

Dr Oddy said that mothers should not be surprised if the baby can suckle up to 12 times in 24 hours. But if the baby is very sleepy and had gone to bed within a period Lam, then try to wake slowly to breastfeed.

Letting Baby Cry Make Up Male Hormone Testosterone

Biologically, the sex hormone testosterone in a man's body could have increased and decreased depending on age, diet, body condition and situasis. Recent research has shown when he heard a baby crying and could not stop it could lead to increased sex hormone testosterone.

This was revealed from a study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. According to researchers, these findings may highlight the complex interactions between hormones, behavior and perception of the situation.

"Hormones and behavior are connected in a dynamic and complex, more complex than we think. Hormones may change depending on context and behavior, we can even affect the perception endoktrin. So the situation can lead to different patterns of hormonal response depends on how we behave," said Sari van Anders, neuroendocrinologis from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, as reported by LiveScience, Wednesday (14/12/2011).

Previous research suggests that parenting can lower testosterone in men. But recent research shows that babies can actually hear the cry of increasing testosterone.

In that study, researchers set up an experiment using an interactive baby doll that is often used to teach high school students for responsible parenthood. The doll is able to make sounds, including crying out loud. The only way to stop crying is with bracelets swiping sensors on the doll and comfort, just like a real baby.

55 participants were asked to hear the baby crying and trying to calm him down. But before the experiment began, participants were asked to give saliva for testosterone measurements. They were also asked to answer questions about mood.

After that, participants were asked to re-submit saliva samples to measure changes in testosterone. The result, the man who succeeded in calming infants testosterone decreased by 10 percent, while only hear the cry but can not respond to testosterone have increased by 20 percent.

"Hearing the baby's cry is increasingly upset, coupled with shrill cries, without being able to respond may be a danger signal or physiological response to infant protection. That could spur flood of testosterone, as the theory has linked higher testosterone due to some type of behavior," explains Sari van Anders.

According to van Anders, the findings could help expand ideas on parenting, and a simplified perception of testosterone and parents.

Mother 2 times more likely Built At Night

Care of the child's mother is still synonymous with the task, because it's a mother 2 times more likely to wake up at night to take care of her children than the father.

Studies conducted by the University of Michigan shows the mother 2 times more likely to wake up at night to take care of her child. This condition generally occurs since the baby is born until he entered the age of five.

"Women have gender thinking that they are caregivers, so they tend to wake up at night and awake on average for 44 minutes while men only 30 minutes," said Sarah Burgard of the University of Michigan, as quoted from Healthland.Time, Monday (12/12/2011).

This study was conducted at 20,000 parents who worked from 2003-2007 and reported in the journal Social Forces. Generally, children who are growing or above 5 years are less likely to wake during the night.

In this study are also known to couple to work with children aged under 1 year about 32 women known to get up in the Malan report on the day to take care of their children, while men only 11 percent.

Couples with children aged 1-2 years about 10 percent of mothers and fathers woke up 2 percent, while couples with children aged 3-5 years reported 3 percent of mothers than fathers who wake up one percent.

"I'll just jump out of bed to take care of her child. Most women have the hope to become the primary caregiver after the birth, it has naturally awakened," he said.

But sleep is disturbed or not good quality sleep can affect the long-term health. If women feel tired all the time then it could hamper the productivity of its work, and influenced the way students in children.

Not Twins Not Relatives, Birth Defects Bareng 3 Baby Got Heart

All three babies are born simultaneously on October 15, 2011 at a hospital the same. All three are not twin brothers nor the alias can not have blood ties. But strangely the three babies born on the same day it had the same heart defect.

All three infants were from the same town in Greater Manchester and was born at the hospital at Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool. But after birth, three were known to have the same defect that is the main coronary arteries are in the wrong place so fatal if not promptly corrected or surgery.

The operation was carried out for 4 hours at Alder Hey Hospital, Liverpool alternately several consecutive days in the hospital after the age of each child reach more than 1 week.

Parent of the three infants who were named Jack Gallagher, Bradley Cooper and Cody Carruthers became good friends during the past ordeal and hope that all this baby can live normally.

"This is a scary time, he had surgery when she was just 9 days and we want everything to run smoothly and properly," said Curtis Carruthers, Bradley's father, as quoted from Dailymail, Friday (12/09/2011).

Bradley was born weighing 2.69 kg because he was unable to take food that is consumed by her mother, Janine Collier (20 years).

Meanwhile, Michelle Bleakley of Cody's mother said her baby was born at 39 weeks of age, weighing 3.2 Kg. But the condition of the heart defect that is owned by Cody was detected at 20 weeks gestation through screening scan.

Cody do the surgery when he was 10 days, and he had to lose a few pounds of weight after surgery, but he kept smiling and struggling to survive.

Meanwhile, Bob's father of Jack Gallagher said that he did not know the baby has a heart defect until he was born with a weight of 3.7 Kg, Jack had to undergo surgery at the age of 11 days. Now the condition is fine but still need regular check-up to the hospital.

Sundar Prem Venugopal, consultant pediatric cardiac surgeons who perform these three operations said that there is a transposition of great arteries. Operations move two main heart arteries that carry blood from the heart to the right place or should be.

"We've been doing surgery for 30 years. But this experience is an unusual thing for which there are three babies born with disabilities the same conditions and then operated on three different days in the same place," said Venugopal.

Now the third baby was successfully operated well and return to their homes, but they still have to do a routine check at the hospital to avoid any complications.

Congenital heart defect which could be the baby has a hole between heart chambers, can also be a defect in the valve or the location of the heart's blood vessels that are not appropriate. This condition can be detected at the time of ultrasound during pregnancy or listened to his heart after birth.

Not all babies born with congenital heart defects or signs or symptoms are detected during pregnancy, so sometimes the case became known only after the baby is born. Though the early detection and fast can be key in improving survival.

Changing the Brain Child Hugging Mother Doyan So Not Drugs

Not wrong to say drug users are generally less attention and affection from parents. According to the study, mothers' arms in a childhood brain change children become immune to the effects of addictive substances is prohibited.

Hugs and physical touch is gentle caring of a mother can be called trigger chemical changes in the brain. Change is in the form of increased levels of interleukin 10, which is a molecule in the brain that inhibit the effects of various types of drugs.

To prove it, researchers from Duke University and the University of Adelaide in Australia doing some experiments on rat pups and its mother. Experiments conducted on researchers used a technique called handling paradigm.

Some rat pups were separated from the parent cage for 15 minutes, then returned again. This treatment makes the parent ikus moved to approach her, sniffing and involved physical contact is more intense than that never separated.

In subsequent experiments, the children are separated again and the rat was placed in an enclosure that has two rooms. Children are free to choose rats want to come in the room, then be injected morphine if it chose to go into one room that has been marked.

In recent times the experiment, rat pups that rarely sniff-sniffing iduknya tend to return to the room with the morphine though it was never given morphine again. This trend shows symptoms of addiction, which is not found in young rats that often sniff-sniffing mother.

Although only demonstrated in mice, a similar mechanism is believed to also occur in humans if not impossible to prove in the same way. Ethically, it is inhumane to separate the child with his mother and then injected morphine dengna just to see how the effect.

But researchers say, molekuol interleukins are also found in the human brain and the levels are influenced by emotion and affection. Quoted from Dailymail, Friday (12/09/2011), these molecules inhibit the emergence of a sense of fun and addictive effects of drugs.

Pregnant Women More Vulnerable Taxable 70% of TB

Germs Tuberculosis (TB) is highly contagious, especially when the immune system weakens. One cause of decreased immune system is pregnancy, which makes the risk of contracting tuberculosis rose 70 percent to 6 months after delivery.

A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory mengugnkap, the risk of transmission of TB rose 70 percent during pregnancy until 6 months after delivery. Therefore, the midwives are encouraged to be alert to symptoms of tuberculosis in these times.

The study, involving 190 000 women was conducted in a fairly long period, namely 12 years. In that period, there were 15.4 cases of transmission of TB per 100,000 participants in the group of pregnant and after giving birth while in general the average number is only 9.1.

Believed, the increased risk during pregnancy and after delivery occurs due to decreased immune system. Not only tuberculosis, in these times of hormonal changes experienced by women composition makes it prone to all kinds of germs.

Related to these findings, the Health Protection Agency has called for the midwives across the UK to be alert to any symptoms that indicate tuberculosis infection in pregnant women. Symptoms of TB infection include cough that does not heal up more than 3 weeks.

"TB is preventable and treatable, but the result is fatal if left alone," said Prof. Ibrahim Abubakar, a TB researcher at the University of East Anglia when commenting on such an appeal as quoted from Dailymail, Friday (12/09/2011).

TB treatment usually takes a very long time, between 6-9 months. Many patients did not complete treatment because they feel bored, then trigger resistance or immunity TB germs that it took other drugs more powerful and expensive to turn it off.

Anak Kelahiran Prematur Cenderung Emosional

Preterm birth has allegedly resulted in less good for mental and physical development of children as adults. One of them, children who were born prematurely a few weeks early are likely to have behavioral or emotional disturbance when the pre-school age.

This conclusion is based on research published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood, children born very preterm (less than 32 weeks) are likely to have behavioral and or emotional problems than children who were born normal, but it is not clear what impact.

Researchers based their findings on analysis of data on more than 1,500 children who were assessed behavioral and emotional development at age 4 years. All study participants were part of long-term study to see the growth, development, and general health in children born preterm premature titled The Outcome Project Longitudinal or Lollypop.

A total of less than 1,000 children who were born at the age of 32-35 weeks of gestation in the category is quite premature. while remaining less than 600 people born from the womb of a normal age.

Seven components of behavioral or emotional assessed, namely anxiety, depression, aggression, attention disorders, somatic complaints (disturbance without obvious cause disease), as well as behavioral disorders kecendereungan, whether express or emotional exit (only an issue for yourself).

Children who are sufficiently preterm have higher scores on all tests given by the difference in average total value of more than four points. Tendency to act out the highest in boys, which is one of 10 children have behavioral problems quite premature. The same amount found in women who experience emotional disturbances.

Children who are quite premature almost 2.5 times more likely to internalize the problem behavior is so disturbed, and only less than 70% are more likely to express it out than children of normal birth.

Children who are quite premature also two times more likely to have somatic complaints, namely symptoms of illness for no apparent reason, and almost two times more likely to experience behavioral and emotional problems.

This problem tends to persist in childhood through adolescence and tends to affect academic achievement and friendships at school.

"Our results indicate that children are more likely to experience premature sufficient behavioral and emotional problems before entering school," the researchers said as quoted by ScienceDaily, Tuesday (12/06/2011).
