Child Health

These are some reasons: * Eating junk food or not eating a healthy diet * Not enough exercise * Eating refined (processed) carbohydrates. * Sitting in front of a computer too long can cause young women to get larger deriers(butts) and a thicker waist. * Being a couch potato * Drinking too much beer or soda too often * Being on SSRI drugs (for depression) * Other medications may have the side effect of weight gain However, every so often it can be a sign of something else wrong in the body such as thyroid problems, etc. It's best to see your doctor for a full physical and be sure there is no other cause for weight gain.

I found the best way to give medicine to my children when they were toddlers was to use a dropper, gently prod the child's mouth open, slide the dropper to the outside of the back teeth (on the inside of the cheek) and squeeze the medicine out. Somehow it seems to work better than trying to get them to swallow it from a cup or spoon because it doesn't suddenly hit the back of the throat.

Urm, well it kinda happens all the time; ever heard of a blood transfusion? AIDS. have a doctor present

It's a genetic defect caused by a deletion of about 26 genes from the long arm of chromosone 7.

Williams syndrome is a genetic condition that is present at birth and can affect anyone. It is characterized by medical problems, including cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, and learning disabilities. These occur side by side with striking verbal abilities, highly social personalities and an

affinity for music.

Williams syndrome affects 1 in 10,000 people worldwide - an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States. It is known to occur equally in both males and females and in every culture.

Unlike disorders that can make connecting with your child difficult, children with Williams syndrome tend to be social, friendly and endearing. Parents often say they could not have imagined the joy and perspective their child with Williams syndrome has brought into their lives. Nearly everyone with Williams syndrome loves music, and for some, there is a musicality and eventual talent for music that is far greater than would be expected based on general functioning levels.

There are major struggles as well. Many babies have life-threatening cardiovascular problems.Children with WS need costly and ongoing medical care, and early interventions (such as speech or occupational therapy) that may not be covered by insurance or state funding. As they grow, they struggle with things like spatial relations, numbers and abstract reasoning, which can make daily tasks a challenge. And as adults, most people with WS need supportive housing to live to their fullest potential. Just as important are opportunities for social interaction. Adults with Williams syndrome often experience intense isolation which can lead to depression. They are extremely sociable and experience the normal need to connect with others; however people with Williams syndrome often don't process nuanced social cues and this makes it difficult to form lasting relationships.

Other characteristics common to Williams syndrome are:

Hypercalcemia (elevated blood calcium levels)

Low birth-weight / slow weight gain

Feeding problems

Dental abnormalities

Kidney abnormalities

Hernias

Hyperacusis (sensitive hearing)

Musculoskeletal problems

Lack of water and dehydration. And also too much heat.

The main usage of Alivher tablets is to increase the thickness of the uterus lining. This tablet is used primarily in women who are expecting or who are pregnant.

I am 13 and 5ft 6inches and only weigh 65 pounds and i am underweight but not anorexic

Body Weight. There is no simple answer to the question. People are different and so the ideal weight for one person may not be ideal for another. Reasons for differences may be: · Gender: Males and females have different body shapes and sizes and their ideal weights will, therefore, be different. · Racial: People from some races are generally of a smaller build than others. · Genetic: Some families consist of people with large builds, others with smaller ones. This may be due to inherited traits affecting skeletal structure and metabolic rates. · Age is not a very helpful factor because people do not grow at a steady rate. They have periods of rapid growth followed by plateaux. · Height is also not very useful because height and weight do not necessarily move in tandem. A measure, which gained much interest is the Body-Mass Index (BMI). This is calculated as the ratio of the mass (in kilograms) divided by square of the height (in metres) and was used to define underweight, ideal weight and overweight for a given height. However, in addition to the fact that all the issues mentioned above were largely ignored, the major flaw with the BMI is that it does not differentiate between muscular mass and fatty mass. Muscles are denser than fatty tissue so a fit person will have a higher BMI than a person who is carrying a lot of fat. If you are concerned, you should consult your doctor.

the causes of street children moving out of their houses could be because of abuse, no parents or it could be by choice.

It is not possible to answer your question without a little more information. There is no ideal weight for a 7-year-old Filipino girl (or a person of any age) because weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. For more information about weight in relation to height, and to see charts showing the distribution of weights and heights of children at various ages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions. Alternatively, please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail.

Pretty self explanatory, "shaken baby syndrome" is when a child is shaken in a violent motion that causes death or serious injury to the brain. Typically a child will have retinal bleeding, brain bleeding and brain swelling (which typically does the most damage).

About 3 ful minutes

That is outstanding. A person with an IQ of 145 is considered to be about 45% more intelligent than an average individual of the same age.

I had a vacuum delivery, and the pain of the baby coming out was like hell on earth.

Since neonatal professionals work in a cooperative atmosphere, good team work and personal communication skills are vital. Empathy, endurance, and evaluation skills are also vital to the profession.

There are no dangers of putting a baby's bottle in the microwave.

Sleeping without a pillow has no effect on height. However, it is actually better for the neck and shoulders to not sleep on a pillow.

No one invented pee, or urination. Living organisms need a way to remove toxins from their bodies and urination was one of three methods that evolved for animals to do that.

I am sitting in first year psychology in the University of Winnipeg. It is impossible as a human being to generate enough force to damage or even harm a babies brain. The only way to kill a baby by shaking it would be to put it in a machine, such as a paint mixer, which could accelerate and decelerate fast enough to cause the brain to be damaged.

Around 80-120 pounds. I am 4 ft 11 and 11 years old. I'm 99 pounds

Usually a pediatrician will do this service. If you are an adult, see your doctor for the procedure in your area.

* An appropriate healthy weight for someone like you would be 110-120 pounds. Note that anything less than that could mean that you are not eating enough and you need to improve your diet. * For more information about weight in relation to height, and to see the distribution of weights and heights of children at various ages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions."

Yes. A woman who is 5'7 with a medium frame should be between 133-144 lbs. See the chart linked below.
