8. How to Breast Feed

9. Breast Feeding……. • Hold your baby wearing only a diaper against your bare chest. • Support his/her neck and shoulders with one hand and hips with the other. • Hold the baby upright with his or her head under your chin. • First you have to get the baby to latch on (you can do that by tickling the baby’s lip to encourage to open wide)

10. Breast Feeding… • Next pull your baby close so that the chin and lower jaw moves into your breast first. • Then try to aim the lower lip as far from the base of nipple so the baby take a large mouthful of the breast. • The best latch is one in which you don't feel any pain and your baby is getting milk.

11. Breast Feeding… • If latch-on hurts, break the suction by inserting your little finger between your baby's gums and your breast and try again. • As your baby nurses contentedly, hold her close. You may also want to support your breast, if your breasts are large. • Getting comfortable with breastfeeding takes time but can be a beautiful experience.

16. Reflexes • A reflex is an involuntary, or automatic action that your body does in response to something without even having to think about it.

17. Rooting • The rooting reflex is present at birth and assists in breastfeeding • It disappears at around four months of age as it gradually comes under voluntary control. • This happens when the baby's cheek is stroked.

18. Palmar Grasp • This reflex is a flexion of the fingers caused by stimulation of the palm of the hand. • The reflex is present at birth and usually disappears by 6 months of age

19. Moro • The Moro reflex is an involuntary response that is present at birth and usually disappears between the ages of 3 to 6 months. • The reflex occurs when an infant is startled by a loud noise or other environmental stimulus or feels that he or she is falling. • It causes the baby to extend the arms, legs, and fingers and arch the back

20. Babinski • Babinski reflex is 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.

21. Stepping • 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. • The step reflex will probably disappear by the time your baby is 3 months old, until it reappears when it is time for him to learn to walk.

22. Failure to Thrive • Failure to thrive refers to children whose current weight or rate of weight gain is significantly lower than that of other children of similar age and gender • Kids who fail to thrive don't receive or are unable to take in, retain, or utilize the calories needed to gain weight and grow as expected. • Most diagnoses of failure to thrive are made in infants and toddlers in the first few years of life

23. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) • SIDS is the unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby • Infants younger than 1 year old should be placed on their backs to sleep, never face down on their stomachs • You can avoid SIDS by not overheating from excessive sleepwear and bedding

29. Parietal Lobe • This lobe is associated with movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli • It is located in the middle section of the brain and is associated with processing tactile sensory information such as pressure, touch, and pain.

30. Temporal Lobe • The temporal lobe is located on the bottom section of the brain. • This lobe is also the location of the primary auditory cortex, which is important for interpreting sounds and the language we hear.

31. Occipital Lobe • This lobe is associated with visual processing • The occipital lobe is located at the back portion of the brain.

32. Characteristics of the left brain • The left brain is concerned with logical and rational thinking. • Is the center for reading, writing, speech, language and memory. • Enables us to adopt a realistic and logical approach to problem solving based on established facts and information. • Responds to verbal instructions.

33. Characteristics of the right brain • The right brain is considered as the center for creative and intuitive thinking. • Controls motor functions. • It specializes in visual face recognition, spatial aptitude, music and insight. • Responds to demonstrated instructions
