BURP A BABY

INSTRUCTIONS TO BURP A BABY

• When burping your baby, repeated gentle patting on your baby's back should do the trick — there's no need to pound hard. To prevent messy cleanups when your baby spits up or has a "wet burp," you might want to place a towel or bib under your baby's chin or on your shoulder

• Sit upright and hold your baby against your chest or shoulder• Hold your baby sitting up, in your lap or across your knee• Lay your baby on your lap on his or her belly• Sit upright and hold your baby against your chest. Your baby's chin

should rest on your shoulder as you support the baby with one hand. With the other hand, gently pat your baby's back. Sitting in a rocking chair and gently rocking with your baby while you do this may also help.

• Hold your baby sitting up, in your lap or across your knee. Support your baby's chest and head with one hand by cradling your baby's chin in the palm of your hand and resting the heel of your hand on your baby's chest (but be careful to grip your baby's chin, not throat). Use the other hand to pat your baby's back gently.

• Lay your baby on your lap on his or her belly. Support your baby's head and make sure it's higher than his or her chest. Gently pat your baby's back.

HOW TO BOTTLE FEED

• Bottle-Feeding a Baby• It isn't necessary to warm bottles of formula. Some

babies will take the formula straight from the refrigerator. Obviously, giving a cool bottle of formula is a lot quicker and easier than trying to warm up a bottle when your baby is screaming. If you wish to warm the bottle, just hold it under hot running tap water. Then, shake it well to mix the formula, and test the formula to be sure it isn't too hot for the baby. Do not heat your baby's formula in a microwave oven. This method has too many potential dangers.

HOW TO BOTTLE FEED

• When you feed your baby, always hold your baby and the bottle -- never prop the bottle. Your baby shouldn't lie down and feed. He should always be semi-upright or sitting up. Bottle propping causes four problems-increased ear infections, increased cavities, feeding longer than necessary, and decreased emotional and physical satisfaction from being held.

HOW TO BOTTLE FEED

• The nipple hole should be large enough that the formula drips out at a steady pace of two drops per second. A flow that's too slow may increase the amount of air your baby swallows. If the flow is too fast, he may choke.

• Like so much with babies, you'll need to listen and observe. If you hear a lot of noisy sucking sounds while she drinks, she may be taking in too much air. To help your baby swallow less air, hold her at a 45-degree angle. Also take care to tilt the bottle so that the nipple and neck are always filled with breast milk or formula.

• Never prop a bottle - it can cause your baby to choke. Besides, bottle-feeding, like breastfeeding, can be a wonderful time for nurturing your baby by holding her close. So take feeding time as an opportunity to snuggle and bond

HOW TO BOTTLE FEED

Start clean: Wash or sterilize bottles and nipples as directed on the packaging before

your first feeding.

Heat things up: Use a bottle warmer or bowl of warm water (not a microwave) to heat breast milk or formula. Test on inner wrist before feeding.

Or try it cold: You can also try serving the bottle at room temperature, or even cold – some babies like it this way

Get cozy: Choose a comfortable place to sit with your baby, and have a burp cloth on hand.

Support your baby: Use your arm or a pillow to keep your baby propped up slightly while you hold the bottle with the opposite hand

Take burping breaks: If your baby gets fussy during the feeding, pause and see if gentle burping helps

Try, try again: If your baby is used to nursing, the bottle may not be a hit at first. Don't force the issue, but keep trying every day

DIAPER CHANGING, STEP-BY-STEP

• Whether you've never changed a diaper before or you're an old hand, don't worry -- you'll get plenty of practice with your new baby. Most parents have made common mistakes, like putting a diaper on backward or lopsided, or even getting an unexpected spray of urine from their baby boy. So, you're not alone. These step-by-step tips will help you master the art of diaper changing and fix any first-time mistakes fast.

• Get Your Supplies Together• Have everything at hand, because you never want to leave your baby unattended.

You'll need: a clean diaper or two, something to wipe baby with, and a flat surface. If you use cloth diapers, you'll need a clean diaper cover or waterproof pants (and pins). If your baby has diaper rash or is less than a month old, have cotton balls or squares, warm water, and a towel handy.

• Always Keep One Hand on Your Baby• Wash your hands and place your baby on the changing table or a flat surface. Use

the safety straps, or make sure to keep one hand on the baby so he doesn't roll off. Never leave your baby unattended, even for a minute. If he wiggles a lot, distract him with a mobile or a brightly colored toy. Undo the dirty diaper, hold your baby's legs with one hand and use the other hand to pull down the front of the diaper. Don't remove it just yet

DIAPERING BABY

• Wipe From Front to Back• First, use the front part of the diaper to help wipe your baby --

wiping from front to back to avoid a urinary tract infection. Then use a mild wipe or wet washcloth to clean baby -- again wiping from front to back. For a newborn or baby with diaper rash, use cotton balls or squares and warm water. Pat baby's bottom dry. If you have a boy, keep a clean diaper over his penis while you're changing him so he doesn't urinate on you

• Swap Dirty Diaper for Clean One• Lift baby's legs and slide the dirty diaper out. Hold your baby's

legs to keep him from touching the messy diaper. Slide a clean diaper underneath your baby. On a disposable diaper, the adhesive tabs go in back and should be about belly-button level. Pull the front up between baby's legs. For a boy, make sure his penis is pointing down so he doesn't pee out of the top of his diaper.

DIAPERING A BABY

• Use Your Fingers to Test the Fit• Close the tabs on a disposable diaper or pin the corners of a cloth diaper together.

Make the diaper snug, but be sure you can place two fingers between the diaper and baby's waist. With a newborn, fold the top of the diaper down so that the umbilical stump is exposed. Or use a newborn diaper with a cutout for the stump.

• You May Want to Flush the Poop• What do you do with the old diaper? With cloth diapers, shake any solid waste

into the toilet before tossing into the diaper pail. Some parents do this with disposables, too. With a disposable, tape it up and put it in the trash or diaper pail. Some parents put them in a plastic bag or zipper-top bag first. For cloth diapers, store in a dry or wet diaper pail until ready to wash.

• Take Your Time & Enjoy• Many moms and dads find that diaper changes are a great time to connect with

their babies. After all, you're leaning over your baby, touching, and talking or cooing to him or her. Your baby is looking up at you and listening to your voice. Take some time to sing a song or play peek-a-boo. Although some diaper changes will have to be done quickly, when you have a few minutes, try to enjoy the ritual.

DIAPERING A BABY

• Changing a Girl• First, lift her legs with one hand and remove any poop with a wet washcloth. (Many

new moms use baby wipes on their newborns with no problem. If your child's skin reacts to the chemicals in wipes, you can use a washcloth or cotton balls and plain water when cleaning baby's derriere during the first few weeks.) Using one area of the cloth at a time, clean inside all the creases, wiping downward. To clean the genital area, wipe from the vagina toward the rectum. Do not pull the labia back to clean inside. Dry the area with a soft cloth. Apply ointment around the genitals and on the buttocks to prevent diaper rash.

• Changing a Boy• One big difference for boys: Don't leave the penis exposed -- keep it covered with a

diaper or you may get sprayed. Clean under the testicles, gently pushing them out of the way. Wipe under the penis and over the testicles, toward the rectum. If he's uncircumcised, do not attempt to pull back the foreskin. Dry the area with a soft cloth. Apply ointment around the genitals and on the buttocks to prevent diaper rash.

• If you had your baby circumcised, a light dressing of gauze and petroleum jelly was placed over the head of the penis. The penis will take about one week to heal. The tip will look red, and a yellow scab may appear, or you may notice a yellow secretion. For a few days, apply petroleum jelly over the tip of the penis every time you change your baby's diaper. Circumcision sites rarely become infected, but if the redness persists beyond a week, or you see swelling or crusted yellow sores that contain fluid, call your baby's doctor.

REFLEXES

• A reflex is an involuntary muscle reaction to a certain type of stimulation

ROOTING REFLEX

• Root reflex - This reflex begins when the corner of the baby's mouth is stroked or touched. The baby will turn his/her head and open his/her mouth to follow and "root" in the direction of the stroking. This helps the baby find the breast or bottle to begin feeding.

• Who automatically turn the face toward the stimulus and make sucking (rooting) motions with the mouth when the cheek or lip is touched. The rooting reflex helps to ensure successful breastfeeding

• Reflex consisting of head-turning and sucking movements elicited in a normal infant by gently stroking the side of the mouth or cheek. This reflex is generally disappears by about 4 months.

PALMAR GRASP

• Grasp (or palmar grasp) reflex Trigger: Pressing a finger or other object, such as a rattle, into baby’s palm

• Response: Baby makes a fist and tries to grab finger• Duration: Three to four months• Reason: May prepare baby developmentally for voluntary

grasping later• You can try to elicit these reflexes at home, but don’t be

alarmed if your baby doesn’t cooperate — you might not be performing the stimulus perfectly, or your baby might be too tired or hungry to respond. If you try several times on different days without getting the expected result, check in with the pediatrician.

MORO REFLEX

• The Moro reflex is often called a startle reflex because it usually occurs when a baby is startled by a loud sound or movement. In response to the sound, the baby throws back his/her head, extends out the arms and legs, cries, then pulls the arms and legs back in. A baby's own cry can startle him/her and begin this reflex. This reflex lasts about five to six months.

BABINSKI REFLEX

• Babinski reflex - When the sole of the foot is firmly stroked, the big toe bends back toward the top of the foot and the other toes fan out. This is a normal reflex up to about 2 years of age• Babinski  reflex:  When the baby’s foot is stroked

from heel toward the toes the big toe should lift up, while the others fan out. Absence of reflex may suggest immaturity of the spinal cord.  The Babinski reflex may be present up to 1 year.  After that the stroking should elicit a downward curling of the toes.

STEPPING REFLEX

• Step reflex - This reflex is also called the walking or dance reflex because a baby appears to take steps or dance when held upright with his/her feet touching a solid surface. This isn't really walking and will disappear by about 4 months of age.

FAILURE TO THRIVE

• is the failure to maintain an established pattern of growth and development that responds to the provision of adequate nutritional and emotional needs of the patient

• The previously used dichotomy of nonorganic (environmentally related) and organic growth failure is the result of either inadequate calorie absorption, excessive calorie expenditure or inadequate intake of calories.[1]

• If FTT is severe, the parameter is poor brain growth as evidenced by head circumference. The diagnosis is based on growth parameters that (1) fall over 2 or more percentiles, (2) are persistently below the third or fifth percentiles, or (3) are less than the 80th percentile of median weight for height measurement. Growth failure is now generally accepted to be overly simplistic and obsolete.

SIDS

• Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the unexpected, sudden death of a child under age 1 in which an autopsy does not show an explainable cause of death.

• occurs in families of all races and socioeconomic levels.• cannot be predicted or prevented and can claim any baby, in spite of parents doing

everything right• claims the lives of almost 2,500 infants in the US each year - that's nearly 7 babies

everyday.• While SIDS can occur outside of cribs, it's also known as crib death because it

happens most often during sleep.• Most experts believe that SIDS occurs when a baby has an underlying vulnerability

(such as immature or abnormal functioning of the heart, breathing, or arousal) and is exposed to certain stressors (such as sleeping tummy-down or on soft bedding) during a critical period of development.

• Problems with the baby's ability to wake up (sleep arousal)•The following have been linked to a baby's increased risk of SIDS:• Sleeping on the stomach• Being around cigarette smoke while in the womb or after being born• Sleeping in the same bed as their parents (co-sleeping)• Soft bedding in the crib• Multiple birth babies (being a twin, triplet, etc.)• Premature birth• Having a brother or sister who had SIDS• Mothers who smoke or use illegal drugs• Being born to a teen mother• Short time period between pregnancies• Late or no prenatal care• Living in poverty situations

TOY FOR GROSS MOTOR SKILL

• Baby jumper items allow babies to squat and jump which helps structure their walking muscles. These jumper baby toys help babies learn to walk by readying their muscles for weight and impact and even balance. Jumper items can be introduced to babies as young as six months if they are able to sit up on their own.

ANATOMY OF THE BRAIN

FRONTAL LOBE

• Function:• •Motor Functions• •Higher Order Functions• •Planning• •Reasoning• •Judgment• •Impulse Control• •Memory• Location:• Directionally, the frontal lobes are located in the anterior portion

of the cerebral cortex. The frontal lobe is found in the area around your forehead.It is concerned with emotions, reasoning, planning, movement, and parts of speech. It is also involved in purposeful acts such as creativity, judgment, problem solving, and planning.

PARIETAL LOBE

The functions of parietal lobe for kids : •Processing body sensations like temperature, pressure, touch and pain•Object recognition•Ability to read•Ability to solve mathematical or arithmetic problems•Speech•Visual perception (to some extent)•Perception of knowledge, that is, cognitionThe parietal lobes are found behind the frontal lobes, above the temporal lobes, and at the top back of the brainThey are connected with the processing of nerve impulses related to the senses, such as touch, pain, taste, pressure, and temperature. They also have language functions.

TEMPORAL LOBE

• The temporal lobes are found on either side of the brain and just above the ears.

• The temporal lobes are responsible for hearing, memory, meaning, and language. They also play a role in emotion and learning. The temporal lobes are concerned with interpreting and processing auditory stimuli.

• •Hearing and auditory memories.• •Speech learning. • •Vision pathways.• •Memory in general.• •Music.• •Fear.• •Some behaviors, emotions and sense of identity

• .

OCCIPITAL LOBE

• The occipital lobe is found in the back of the brain• The occipital lobe is involved with the brain's

ability to recognize objects. It is responsible for our vision• The primary function of the occipital lobe is

controlling vision and visual processing• •Visual Perception• •Color Recognition

LEFT BRAIN• Responds to verbal instructions • Problem solves by logically and sequentially

looking at the parts of things • Looks at differences • Is planned and structured • Prefers established, certain information • Prefers talking and writing • Prefers multiple choice tests • Controls feelings • Prefers ranked authority structures • Is a splitter: distinction important • Is logical, sees cause and effect

PIAGETJean Piaget was a French-speaking Swiss developmental psychologist and philosopher known for his epistemological studies with children. He was the eldest son of Arthur Piaget and Rebecca Jackson .He was an influential experimenter and theorist in the field of developmental psychology and in the study of human intelligence

Born: August 9, 1896, Neuchâtel

Died: September 16, 1980, Geneva

Nationality: Switzerland

defined himself as a 'genetic' epistemologist, interested in the process of the qualitative development of knowledge. "What the genetic epistemology proposes is discovering the roots of the different varieties of knowledge, since its elementary forms, following to the next levels, including also the scientific knowledge."

He believed answers for the epistemological questions at his time could be answered, or better proposed, if one looked to the genetic aspect of it, hence his experimentations with children and adolescents. Piaget considered cognitive structures development as a differentiation of biological regulations.)He intends to explain knowledge development as a process of equilibration using two main concepts in his theory, assimilation and accommodation, as belonging not only to biological interactions but also to cognitive ones.

Piaget's focus on qualitative development had an important impact on education. While Piaget did not specifically apply his theory in this way, many educational programs are now built upon the belief that children should be taught at the level for which they are developmentally prepared.In addition to this, a number of instructional strategies have been derived from Piaget's work. These strategies include providing a supportive environment, utilizing social interactions and peer teaching, and helping children see fallacies and inconsistencies in their thinking (Driscoll, 1994).
