Babies

At such a young age, a pica diagnosis is very difficult.

Instead, your child may just be going through a developmental phase. There is a lot of study, made famous by Freud, on the stages a child goes through in their sexual development. A toddler (around 2 years old) is in the anal phase- they derive pleasure from everything and anything concerning the anus. They are naturally curious of their bodies and of what comes out of their bodies. Your child may be experimenting with their themselves, which is perfectly natural.

However, eating feces is a health risk for your child, as feces can often contain dangerous bacteria and e. coli. The simplest solution would be to keep your child out of any places where there may be feces- change their diaper as soon as possible, and don't throw diapers away where they are accessible to him. If your child has no access to feces, then it will be impossible for her to eat them.

Until the age of one a respiration rate anywhere between 25-50 would be considered "normal"

You can try giving your baby cereal mixed with breastmilk or formula around four months. If they seem like they aren't receptive or keep spitting it out try again the next week. Around six months you can start your baby on fruits and vegetables. Remember to always consult your pediatrician first before changing your baby's diet.

The foreskin of the circumcised infant is a valuable resource. and is used for the production of replacement skin as used in burns repair. the cosmetics industry also has many uses for it in various cosmetics processes. One baby's foreskin can raise more then $100.000 in products. It is little wonder that there are still so many Americans being duped into allowing the genital mutilation of their boys in light of the profits available from the practice.

The most babies that have been known to haven given birth at once is 9 babies.

But the most children in one pregnancy (with fertilization) is 15, but none of them survived.

Without fertilization though, the most kids in one pregnancy is 12, but none survive sadly.

Here as you are a teenager , you will need all the love and concern of your family to support you at these hard and trying times.

Just to add onto this, i am a 16 year old who comes from a small country town in western australia. my girlfriend (19) fell pregnant a few months ago. At first it may seem new, and even confusing, but what you have to remember, is that something amazing will pull through in the end, and even if you choose to abort, it makes you mature a heap more and gives you a brand new outlook on life. just remember that your partner needs you just as much as you need them. my best of wishes to any of those who have been through this as well!

Slapping or flicking the soles of the feet

Meconium is a neonate's first bowel movement.

If we are talking about being born 8 months of course. The further along they are in their development the better.

If you are talking about after being born depends on the baby and cause of dying.

Well if you want him to pee

Ask him to tell you when he has to pee

When he does, I prefer not to sit him on the potty or have him stool on the toilet, wait till he is tall enough to stand without a stool,

Give him a bucket outside to pee in or pose him to a tree or bush, you should also teach him to pee in the shower and bath, it actually cleans your body and it is sorta fun.

Yes, babies see color.

I was told that when they are born they can see black and white as there eyesights better they can start seeing colour

Absolutely, as long as the water is clean and uncontaminated. If there is any chance that the water is contaminated with anything, boil the water first and then let it cool down before you share it with the baby. ANY water coming from a lake, creek, river, etc. has the potential to be contaminated with chemicals and/or diseases. In many communities throughout the world, even tap water may be contaminated. Clean clear water is good for babies. Just remember, water doesn't provide any nourishment.

It's a good idea not to. Remember, your skin (including scalp) is the largest breathing organ of your body) and what you put on your skin or scalp is absorbed into the body. As you get further along in your pregnancy consider a shorter cut that is easier for you to maintain and keep you looking nice.

Because it's being taken from the only home it's known. And if the baby didn't cry their is probibly something wrong.

Shingles is pretty rare in kids and teens who have healthy immune systems. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox.It's easy to pass the virus on to people who aren't immune to chickenpox (like people who haven't already had chickenpox or gotten the chickenpox vaccine). The difference is that if they get infected, they won't get shingles.

The baby receives oxygen and food from the mother's bloodstream through the uterus and the umbilical cord. Neither the lungs nor the digestive system are functional before birth.
From the placenta via the umbilical cord.

A newborn needs a lot of things: breast milk or formula, warm clothes and blankets, an infant-safe bed, love from another person, and LOTS of patience. For everything else, ask the pediatrician.

They also need dummys, bottles, sterilizers, safety gates, pram, moses basket, cot sheets, monitor, mobile for the cot, bath things, bath support, cotton woll, tempertature egg, things like that

hope this helps

The survival rate is about 90%.. however their is many factors to consider; such as birth weight, apgar score, was the mother given steroid injection while the baby was in the womb for lung matturity? Normally the outcome is okay, with maybe only a few days in the NICU for observation, however a prematture baby is always at higher risk for infection. Babies born at 35 weeks sometimes have a hard time mainaining their body temperature.

As someone who is 5 weeks away from completing my nursing degree, I will try to share everything I can that I wish someone would have told me when I started. When first starting nursing school it helps if you've had some type of experience (ER tech, CNA). Going into school, there isn't much of a requirement to know anything as the classes are provided throughout the program. It helps if you are good at math, but that is my weakest subject and I'm still doing great figuring out med math. There are coloring books out there on anatomy and physiology for nursing students. They are in with the nursing books at borders, and these would be very helpful to start memorizing anatomy. There are also books of cartoon characters with different symptoms for the disease (ie- a cartoon character of hyperthyroid would be skinny while eating alot, sweating, have a fast heart rate, high temperature, and so on). These books really help with memorization. Basically you need to read. There is ALOT of reading involved. I have not read a book for pleasure in 2 and a half years. It's worth it though. An important thing to focus on is why things cause the symptoms, instead of just trying to memorize the symptoms. It's much easier to understand that someone with hypothyroid has brittle hair, weight gain, slow pulse because of decreased circulating thyroid hormone (which translates to a high TSH level) and because of the function of the thyroid hormone of keeping metabolism up, everything in the body slows, or becomes hypo. Therefore, a decrease in blood flow = decreased pulse, decreased oxygenation = fatigue, and so on. I cannot stress enough not to focus on symptoms and more so on why those symptoms exsist. There are days I wanted to quit. If you are not in it for the patient's, then maybe you should. Nursing requires a sincere care about patient well being because even if some way you make it through nursing school, you will become burned out after a short time in the field. Nursing needs more caring professionals though. I wish you well!

If you do a websearch for "birth videos" you will find a wealth of links to different videos of birth, natural, epidural, c-sections and more. It's a search results page so have a look at the titles and watch what your looking for or watch them all.

There is simply no way to predict how soon. Every woman is different. If you are breastfeeding without supplementing, that usually suppresses the menstrual cycle altogether. It usually comes back when the baby starts eating solid foods or goes longer between feedings. Usually. Not always.

Breast milk has the antibodies to viruses that the mother has had or been vaccinated for. Babies who eat breast milk will have the same immunity as their mothers. This is important because a baby is not born with a fully functioning immune system

Yes. Any abnormal temperature in a baby (even 10 months old) deserves worry. At 101.3 a baby aspirin may take care of it, but you need to watch the child closely. Something is causing that fever and it may or may not subside with an aspirin. If finances are an extreme problem, you could give the child a cool (not cold or ice) bath if the aspirin doesn't work (or in addition to the aspirin) but watch the child closely and you may have to take it to the hosp. or emergency room if it doesn't come down and stay down. You can worry about the money end of it later. Hospitals will take small payments, so long as you keep them coming. Good luck!
