Children are growing and developing skills that are changing quickly not only physical‚ but emotionally and mentally. A child family is instrumental in its development. Development varies according to the family’s cultures‚ social status and environment. Although there is a standard for reaching one’s milestones these are

Biology Breastfeeding Breastfeeding is a tool‚ gift‚ and experience that a lot of mothers disregard‚ overlook and dismiss. This paper is aimed at proving the significance of this vital act of love. Breastfeeding not only provides vital nutrients‚ it also fosters many health‚ economic and emotional benefits. The advantages of breast milk will clearly outweigh any inconvenience some may complain of. Breast milk alone can provide all the nutrients a child needs until it is six months old with

An understanding of transitional events and the physiologic adaptations that neonates must make is essential to helping the nurse provide an appropriate environment and help infants maintain thermal stability. Optimizing the thermal environment has proven significant for improving the chances of survival for small infants. Understanding the basic physiologic principles and current methodology of thermoregulation is important in the clinical care of these tiny infants. Thermoregulation

For about nine months‚ the fetus developing in the uterus is attached to its mother by a cord known as the umbilical cord. The umbilical cord is a flexible cord attaching from the mothers placenta to the infants umbilicus providing nutrients and oxygen to the infant. Moments after birth‚ that cord is severed with the help of medical

be removed from the body in the stool. Before birth‚ the placenta -- the organ that nourishes the developing baby -- removes the bilirubin from the infant so that it can be processed by the mother’s liver. Immediately after birth‚ the baby’s own liver begins to take over the job‚ but this can take time. Therefore‚ bilirubin levels in an infant are normally a little higher after birth. High levels of bilirubin in the body can cause the skin to look yellow. This is called jaundice. Jaundice

In 1958 a developmental psychologist‚ Harry Harlow‚ began a study to determine what makes an infant love a parent. Harlow wanted to prove that it was possible to “prevent or change” the strength of love formed between the infant and mother by changing the mother’s ability to meet the infant’s needs. Due to the fact that Harlow had used Rhesus monkeys for previous studies and that they are biologically similar to humans‚ Harlow decided to use Rhesus monkeys again. If Harlow could prove this‚ he

Baby-Bottle Syndrome Putting an infant to bed with a bottle can result in aspiration or decay of all the upper teeth and the lower posterior teeth (Nainar & Mohummed‚ 2004); (Fig. 28.21). Decay occurs because while an infant sleeps‚ liquid from the propped bottle continuously soaks the upper front teeth and lower back teeth (the lower front teeth are protected by the tongue). The problem‚ called baby-bottle syndrome‚ is most serious when the bottle is filled with sugar water‚ formula‚ milk‚ or
