6. Burping a baby

7. Burping A Baby • 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.

8. How to bottle feed • Offer your breast or the bottle every two to three hours at first or as your baby seems hungry. Until your baby reaches about 10 pounds, she'll probably take one to three ounces per feeding. Don't force more than she seems ready to eat.

9. Bottle feed (cont) • 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.

10. Bottle feed (cont) • There's no health reason to feed a baby warmed milk, but your baby may prefer it. When you're ready to feed your baby, you can warm a bottle in a bowl of warm - not hot or boiling - water, or by running it under the tap. • If your baby is accustomed to drinking bottles at room temperature or slightly cold, you save yourself the time and hassle of preheating bottles, especially when she's crying to be fed. • Never use a microwave to heat a bottle of breast milk or formula. Since a microwave oven heats unevenly, it can create hot pockets, leading to burns. It can also cause nutrients to break down.

11. Bottle feed (cont) • Benefits of bottle-feeding • The infant will consume a volume appropriate to their size and age, rather than over- or under-eating. This can support the working and pumping mom who then has an increased likelihood of pumping a daily volume equivalent to the baby’s demand. • This can minimize colic-like symptoms in the baby whose stomach is distended or over-fed. • It supports the breastfeeding relationship, hopefully leading to longer durations and increased success at breastfeeding particularly for mothers who are separated from their nurslings either intermittently or recurrently.

12. How to diaper a baby • Before you begin, gather a few supplies: • a diaper • fasteners (if you are using cloth diapers) • a container of warm water and cotton balls (for babies with sensitive skin) or a clean washcloth or diaper wipes • diaper ointment or petroleum jelly (for preventing and treating rashes) • a changing pad or cloth diaper for placing under your baby

13. Diaper a baby (cont) • Girls • Lift her legs with one hand and remove any poop with a wet washcloth. • 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. • Dry the area with a soft cloth. • Apply ointment around the genitals and on the buttocks to prevent diaper rash

14. Diaper a baby (cont) • Boys • 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.

15. Diaper a baby (cont) • 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.

16. Reflexes • An automatic body response to a stimulus

17. Rooting • Causes infants to turn their heads toward anything that brushes their faces • This action helps them find a food source such as a nipple • Age of disappearance=3-4 months

18. Palmar Grasp • When you touch an infant’s palms, the hands will grip tightly • Grip is tight enough to pull the infant into a sitting position • Disappears late in the 1st year

19. Moro • Referred to as the “startle reflex” • Occurs when a newborn is startled by a noise or sudden movement • Infant will react by flinging the arms and legs outward and extending the head • Peaks during the 1st month • Disappears around 6 months

20. Babinski • Present at birth in babies who were born at full term • To test reflex: • stroke the sole of the foot on the outside from the heel to the toe • The toes will fan out and curl and the foot twists in • Usually lasts for the first year after birth

21. Stepping • Can be observed in full-term babies • When an infant is held so that the feet are on a flat surface the baby will begin to lift one foot after another in a stepping motion • Usually disappears 2 to 3 months after birth

22. FTT • Failure To Thrive • Poor physical growth of any cause and does not imply abnormal intellectual, social, or emotional development

23. SIDS • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome • The unexpected, sudden death of a child under age 1 in which an autopsy does not show an explainable cause of death.

27. Anatomy of the brain

28. Frontal lobe • Contains most of the dopamine-sensitive neurons in the cerebral cortex. The dopamine system is associated with reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, planning, and motivation.

29. Parietal Lobe • The parietal lobe combines sensory information from different modalities, particularly determining spatial sense and navigation

30. Occipital lobe • The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the brain containing.

31. Temporal lobe • Involved in auditory perception • Home to the primary auditory cortex • Important for the processing of both speech and vision

32. 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 • Draws on previously accumulated, organized information

33. Right Brain • Responds to demonstrated instructions • Problem solves with hunches, looking for patterns and configurations • Looks at similarities • Is fluid and spontaneous • Prefers elusive, uncertain information • Prefers drawing and manipulating objects • Prefers open ended questions • Free with feelings • Prefers collegial authority structures • Draws on unbounded qualitative patterns that are not organized into sequences, but that cluster around images

34. Piaget • Who: Jean Piaget; Swiss Psychologist • What: Theory of Cognitive Development- a comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence • When: Born: August 9, 1896 Died: September 16, 1980 (84) • Where: Switzerland • Why: Wanted to further the knowledge of understanding cognitive development
