Baby Comforters: Comfort (for baby) and Joy (for parents)

People often ask me what the difference is between a baby “comforter” and an “aid” because I recommend using a sleep comforter and I spend lots of time telling parents that sleeping aids are a definite no-no. In reality, they are both aids in essence but the way I see it, there are two types of aids. You have sleeping aids which may become a problem – such as rocking, patting, feeding or giving your baby a dummy to suck on while going to sleep – and then you have good aids which do not require parental participation.

Aids that require your attention are a problem in my opinion. However, something which provides comfort and which the baby can easily find himself when he wakes in the middle of the night or between sleep cycles can be a parent’s best friend.

Every baby finds an aid of some sort to comfort himself with just before he goes to sleep. Unless the parents have introduced the aid themselves, they are usually unaware of just what it is that is comforting their baby at sleep time (with the exception of thumb sucking).

An unintroduced baby comforter could be holding, rubbing or playing peek-a-boo with the sheets or blankets but sometimes it can be a little more complicated. I have seen babies play with the bars on their cots just before falling asleep. That is their comforter and this can cause a problem when you ask one of these babies to fall asleep in a travel cot or anywhere away from their beloved cot bars. If they don’t have the bars to play with, they can’t fall asleep. Another common comforter is playing with labels or tags on bedding or clothing.

In my “traveling with a baby” article, I mentioned Luke as a case study. As I seem to be coming across more and more babies like Luke, I thought I would use this article to share with you his story in more detail.

Luke’s parents contacted me when he was 10 months old. Up until this stage, he had always been a good sleeper. His parents had started Luke on my routines when he was five weeks old. At 10 weeks, he had started to sleep all night and had done so nearly every night since. But now, suddenly, at 10 months he was finding it hard to go to sleep and once asleep he was waking up crying several times throughout the night. I consulted with Luke’s parents several times over the phone but we couldn’t work out what the problem was so I decided a house visit was the only option. After putting Luke to bed I decided to sneak into his room on all fours and observe him in an effort to work out what the problem was.

At first, things looked OK. They had put Luke to bed and he was lying down looking ready for sleep. I watched him and saw a funny movement in his wrist. He was pulling his fingers up as though he was trying to scratch his wrist before he became frustrated and started to cry. It was not the cry you hear when a baby is fighting sleep. He seemed genuinely upset and had tears so I picked him up and went to talk to his parents. After a few minutes, we realised he was looking for the sleeves of his pajamas but he couldn’t find them anywhere as he was now in short-sleeves for summer. It was now obvious to us all what Luke’s problem had been. We had spent hours on the phone trying to work out what was different about Luke’s environment and I felt very silly that we had not considered the summer pajamas to be an issue. We put Luke back in long sleeves and he started sleeping through the night again.

This was a clear case of a baby who was comforting himself to sleep using an aid that the parents were totally unaware of. It is also a good example of why it is better for parents to choose their baby’s comforter for them so you know what it is but it can be just about anything so long as it is safe with him in his cot.

Tips about baby comforters

There are a few things you really need to be aware of when introducing comforters to your baby.

* Some babies like to sleep with their comforters over their faces. If this is your baby, make sure she can still breathe (this is why we suggest breathable cotton muslin squares).

* Make sure your baby cannot get the comforter tangled around his neck. A good comforter size is about 38cm by 38cm.

* Soft toys are not the same as comforters.

* When choosing a comforter, please avoid ones with bean fillings or long fur that your baby might pull out and accidentally inhale. Pull at the fur a little to see how easily it comes away.

* Some companies specialise in making baby comforters. They have usually conducted a lot of research into the best comforter features for you and your baby. The Save Our Sleep™ online store stocks a large range of some of the world’s most safe and cute comforters. Choose comforters from the SOS store.

* We also recommend that you have more than one comforter, and that they are machine washable. This enables you to rotate and wash them periodically, as well as ensuring you have a back-up comforter in the event that you misplace one.

Tricks of the trade

There are also a few tricks to introducing a comforter to your baby. I believe mum should put it down her top for a few hours to allow her smell to infiltrate it before putting the comforter in the cot near baby’s face so he can turn and snuggle into it. It is amazing to watch a baby take solace from their comforter.
Baby comforters

It is my experience that babies with comforters are much happier and more secure as they progress through certain milestones in their lives. Research has shown that at about nine months babies often become very clingy to mum as they realise they are individuals and not a part of their mothers. A comforter seems to help with this transition.

Meanwhile, in Germany there has been some research published recently which states that slightly older kids feel much more secure if they have a comforter with them for the first few visits at kinder or day-care. I also support this notion but feel you should quickly wean your child off taking it once they are settled. I also firmly recommend that a comforter is only given to a baby at sleep times or on occasions when some additional comfort is required such as a visit to hospital or the doctor. In my opinion, it is not good for children or babies to be carrying their comforter around all day.

One other issue I often get called about is when suddenly, at about 10 months, the baby comforter starts getting thrown out of the cot. The first time it happens it could be an accident, so walk in without making eye contact or talking and very calmly return it to the cot. If this becomes a ritual, the baby is probably game-playing. I suggest parents in these situations explain to their baby that if they throw the comforter out it will stay there and they won’t have it to sleep with. If this continues, don’t go in straight away but instead wait until you feel your baby has realised their comforter might not be coming back. Then walk in without eye contact or talking and give it back. Each time wait considerably longer and the game will soon stop.
Warning

When using comforters or putting cuddly toys in the cot as suggested in some articles, it is important to ensure they are safe for your baby. Soft toys with bean filling could block the air from getting into a baby’s mouth or nose if the baby was to sit it on top of his face. You also need to take care with soft fur covered toys because the fur from a toy could be breathed in by a baby and cause the baby to cough a lot which may not be dangerous but could cause the baby a lot of unnecessary discomfort. To ensure the fur is safe, just pull at it and see if any comes away

Pediatric Dentistry

It’s never too early to promote good dental oral health. There are many different things that contribute to teeth and mouth problems later on in life. What a child eats, his mouth and sucking habits as well as genetics are all important contributors to their overall dental health.

Babies who are born with neonatal teeth are the only babies who need to see the dentist. Such a problem will require very early dental hygiene and the teeth may need to be removed by a dentist. Neonatal teeth also refer to teeth that develop in the first month of the child’s life.

Early Teeth
Most children begin teething between 6 and 24 months old. By the time the child is 3 years old, most or all of the baby teeth will have erupted. After the child is four years old, the spaces for the permanent teeth will begin to appear in the jaw, supporting the bone structure as facial bones begin to grow.

How early should a child be seen at the dentist?
Children should make their first visit to the dentist by the age of one year old. This will establish a long-term dental hygiene and professional dental cleaning plan. Dental sealants are used to protect the teeth from decay and are necessary as soon as teeth erupt.
Parents should speak with their dentist regarding fluoride treatment. Fluoride is an important in the prevention of tooth decay and other dental issues. Too much fluoride can be an issue as well. That’s why it’s important to speak with a dentist regarding fluoride treatments. Proper Dental Hygiene of Baby Teeth.

Towel Wash
It can be very difficult for a parent to keep their baby or toddler’s teeth clean. However, so it’s easy to collect debris under baby’s teeth. Although they are eventually replaced with permanent teeth, baby teeth should not go uncared for. The baby teeth, also referred to as the primary teeth, are a vital part of a child’s overall health and development.

Brushing
The baby teeth should be cleaned as soon as they erupt. They can be cleaned using a soft gauze or washcloth after each meal. After more than one tooth erupts, a child-size toothbrush can be soaked in warm water for use in cleaning the Childs teeth.
Once a child has the correct coordination, he or she should be encouraged to brush their teeth on their own. Toothbrushes should be replaced every two to three months. Parents should also remember to brush their Childs teeth after the child has been given medicine. Some medicines can contain acids, which can eat away at tooth enamel, or a mastural protective coating for the teeth. Such medicines must be rinsed away immediately

Flossing
Begin assisting children with dental flossing when two or more teeth erupt next to each other. Once the child has the ability to floss on his or her own, usually by age 6, the child should be able to do this on their own. Parents can have their children start using mouthwash by age 7. Orthodontics is typically implemented by age 7.

General Pediatric Dentistry Information
Pediatric dentistry is a specialty, defined by age. It provides both preventative and therapeutic dental care for infants, children and adolescents. A child will usually see a pediatrician before they are old enough to see a family physician. A pediatric dentist can be considered the pediatrician of dentists.

One of the major goals of pediatric dentistry is to maintain disease-free gums and teeth. Without proper dental care, children may face possible oral decay and disease. This can cause pain and complications later on in life. In fact, a dental infectious disease is five times more common in children than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever.

What Does is it Take to Be Pediatric Dentist?
Pediatric dentists complete a minimum of four years of dental school with two additional years of residency training in dentistry for infants, children, teens and children with special needs.
Pediatric dentists offer:
1. Infant oral health exams;
2. Preventative dental care, including risk assessment for caries in mother and child;
3. Habit counseling (pacifier use and thumb sucking);
4. Early assessment and treatment for straightening teeth and correcting improper bites (orthodontics);
5. Repair of tooth cavities and defects;
6. Diagnosis of oral conditions associated with diseases such as diabetes, congenital heart defect, asthma, hay fever and attention deficit disorder;
7. Management of gum diseases and conditions, including ulcers, short frenulae, mucoceles and pediatric periodontal disease;
8. Care of dental injuries, like fractured, displaced or knocked out teeth.

Pediatric dentists typically perform their duties in private practices, dental schools and medical centers. The Childs pediatrician can usually help find a pediatric dentist near them.

These dentists understand how to treat a child who may not be interested in sitting still. Their offices are usually decorated to appeal to the children and the children usually feel comfortable and at ease.

Tips On How To Take Care Of Child’s Teeth

A perfect smile is defined by mainly the teeth, which are to be guided and maintained correctly from the childhood when the milk teeth erupt into the oral cavity. The maintenance and care of primary teeth helps in eruption of permanent teeth later at correct positions.

Taking care of child’s teeth is more of a parent’s job than the child itself. The care should be taken from even before the appearance of first tooth. The development of these teeth start from before birth itself, so while they are coming out into the oral cavity, the steps should be taken for guiding them properly, and to prevent any bacterial attack on them.

Here are a few steps you should take to help your child’s teeth be healthy -

After feeding the baby, run a damp washcloth over the baby’s gums to keep the area free of any bacteria. This is when the teeth are still developing.
When a few teeth appear in the mouth, they should be cleaned daily using a soft toothbrush, and with a gauze every day.
Fluoride containing toothpaste should be used, so as to prevent tooth decay from the young age itself. Fluoride compounds help in prevention of tooth decay. Care should be taken in children below the age of 6, so that they don’t consume excess toothpaste, because excess of fluorides can lead to mottled teeth. So for children under 3 years of age, a thin smear of paste, and for 3-6 years of age, a pea-sized blob is enough for tooth brushing.
Till the age of 8 years, supervise the child on how to brush their teeth, and how much toothpaste is sufficient to clean their teeth. They should also be trained on oral rinsing habits.
Try to restrict the diet to a less-sugary one, as sugars are attacked by bacteria, which release acids leading to tooth decay. Meals and snacks have to be given at appropriate and regular timings. Habit should be made on sucking liquids from bottles, as using the bottles throughout the day can damage the teeth.
Children usually have a habit of thumb sucking, breathing with mouth etc. which have to be checked for, and if these habits are continued after the age of 4, then visit a dentist to make the child leave the habit gradually.
Take your child to a dentist at least twice in a year, to discuss on further oral care practices, and depending on the present status of child’s teeth, the dentist advises on the steps to follow to maintain a proper oral health.
Keep yourself updated with ongoing free dental programs, like “Give Kids a Smile” event where free dental care is provided to children in the month of February. Oral health tips and regular free dental care reports are available on WorlDental.org that can help adults and children to obtain better dental health.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Treating Corner Of Mouth Sores Naturally

What starts off as a seemingly simple condition sometimes progresses into a chronic condition which you just can’t shift! There are a few simple ways of treating corner of mouth sore naturally but before you start, it is vital that you think about what the underlying causes of the condition might be, otherwise you may never manage to eradicate it altogether.

Split or sore mouth edges are very common in the elderly and children but can affect people of any age. In the elderly, they are often as a result of ill-fitting dentures or the muscle slackness which occurs with age, causing the edges of the mouth to sag. Both of these result in saliva escaping from the mouth corners. In children, corner of mouth sores can be caused by pen sucking, finger biting or thumb sucking and this also results in the dribbling of saliva.

This escape in saliva causes the edges of the mouth to become permanently damp and this in itself causes soreness and irritation. More worrying though is the fact that sometimes a fungal infection can take hold and this is when the condition becomes difficult to eradicate. However, even with a fungal infection, treating corner of mouth sores naturally is possible.

If you think the issue could be ill-fitting dentures, then have the problem corrected professionally. Once this is done soak them overnight in a mild bleach solution to eliminate any bacteria. Where the problem appears to be putting fingers or objects in the mouth, try to discourage this practice by painting them with an “anti-nail biting” solution which tastes bitter.

Another simple way of treating corner of mouth sores naturally is to dry the affected area as much as possible and place a thin layer of petroleum jelly on top. This will give some protection from further moisture which will give some pain relief.

If you have had the condition for more than a couple of days, it is likely that the infection is fungal in nature and the only way to eradicate it completely is to starve the affected area of oxygen and moisture.

Fortunately, treating corner of mouth sores naturally is not difficult and it is possible to cure the condition within just 24 hours using simple, everyday ingredients which you are likely to have to hand right now. By this time tomorrow, the pain and soreness will be completely gone-indeed most people notice a significant improvement within a couple of hours. Please visit Angular Cheilitis Treatment for further details.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – How To Heal Angular Cheilitis Naturally

If you would like to know how to heal angular cheilitis naturally, there are a number of strategies which you can try which should help. The problem with this condition is that it is so difficult to live with as everyday activities such as eating, drinking and speaking are badly affected and we can hardly bandage up our mouths!

To heal angular cheilitis, you firstly need to examine what the possible underlying root causes are. There is always some sort of trigger, be it internal (such as a nutritional deficiency) or external (such as something directly affecting the skin). If the root cause is obvious, then sometimes just removing this can be enough.

Angular cheilitis forms due to a bacterial or fungal infection which has taken hold in the creases at the edges of the lips due to the pooling of excess moisture. Likely causes include badly fitting dentures which cause improper closing of the mouth. Folds in the skin can also be caused due to excessive weight fluctuations. In younger people, angular cheilitis is often caused by pen sucking or biting, fingernail chewing or thumb sucking.

Learning how to heal angular cheilitis naturally can be a simple as having badly fitting dentures corrected. Once fixed, they should be soaked in a mild disinfectant solution to prevent reinfection. In the case of people who are ardent finger suckers or pen biters, one easy trick is to paint the fingers or objects with anti-nail biting solution to discourage the practice.

To bring some relief, try coating the area with petroleum jelly or even an unperfumed lip balm. This protects the splits from the air and brings some immediate pain relief.

Permanent treatment needs to starve the bacteria and fungus of the moisture and air it needs to survive and by doing this, the condition can be cured with remarkable speed.

If you have had cracked lip corners or scabbing for more than a couple of days, it is likely that the condition has taken hold and then it becomes very difficult to eradicate. Fortunately it is still possible to completely cure this condition within just 24 hours by using a very robust natural remedy. If you would like to know how to heal angular cheilitis quickly by using everyday ingredients which you are likely to have at home, please visit Angular Cheilitis Treatment

Oral Health Problems in Children and Natural Treatment for Oral Health Problems

(ArticlesBase SC #2218122)

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Oral Health Problems in Children and Natural Treatment for Oral Health Problems

There are a number of problems that affect the oral health of children, including tooth decay, thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, lip sucking, and early tooth loss. Even though baby teeth are eventually replaced with permanent teeth, keeping baby teeth healthy is important to a child’s overall health and well-being.

Causes for oral health problems in children

1.    Vitamin deficiency

2.    Fungal infection

3.    Viral infection

4.    Congenital conditions

5.    Child abuse

6.    Bacterial infection

7.    Anti anxiety

8.    Decongestants

Prevention for oral health problems in children

1.    Add sugar to your child’s food is mostly avoided.

2.    A bottle filled with sugary liquids put your baby is avoided.

3.    Do not give cold, hot as well as sweeter food to your children.

4.    Give acidic foods to your children is avoided.

5.    Do not give sticky foods to your child.

Baby bottle tooth decay

Baby bottle tooth decay (also called early childhood caries, nursing caries, and nursing bottle syndrome) occurs when a baby’s teeth are in frequent contact with sugars from liquid carbohydrates, such as fruit juices, milk, formula, fruit juice diluted with water, sugar water or any other sweet drink. Human breast milk can cause tooth decay as well. As these liquids break down in the mouth into simple sugars and are allowed to sit in the mouth, bacteria start feeding on the sugars, causing tooth decay.

If left untreated, decayed teeth can cause pain and make it difficult to chew and eat. Also, baby teeth serve as “space savers” for adult teeth. If baby teeth are damaged or destroyed, they can’t help guide permanent teeth into their proper position, possibly resulting in crowded or crooked permanent teeth. Badly decayed baby teeth could lead to an abscessed tooth, with the possibility of infection spreading elsewhere.

How do I prevent baby bottle tooth decay?

Some tips to prevent baby bottle tooth decay include:

1.    During the day, to calm or comfort your baby, don’t give a bottle filled with sugary liquids or milk; instead, give plain water or substitute a pacifier.

2.    At anytime, don’t dip your baby’s pacifier in sugar, honey, or any sugary liquid.

3.    At bedtime, don’t put your baby to bed with a bottle filled with sugary liquids (watered-down fruit juice or milk still increases the risk of decay). Give plain water.

4.    Don’t add sugar to your child’s food

5.    Use a wet cloth or gauze to wipe your child’s teeth and gums after each feeding. This helps remove any bacteria-forming plaque and excess sugar that have built up on the teeth and gums.

6.    Ask your dentist about your baby’s fluoride needs. If your drinking water is not fluoridated, fluoride supplements or fluoride treatments may be needed.

Tips for oral health problems in children

1.    A bottle filled with plain water give your baby.

2.    A visit to your dentist is regular for your child’s teeth.

3.    You can give a lot of nutritional as well as healthy vegetables and fruits to your children.

4.    Brush your child’s teeth by using fluoride toothpaste.

5.    Change your child toothbrush after every 3-4 months is most important.

6.    In your child’s meal give a minimum snacks.

7.    You can give fluoridated water to your child’s.

Stress can act as a motivator or energizer. Too much of bad stress can cause medical and social problems.

Stress releases adrenaline (the stress hormone), heart rate increases, breathing quickens and blood pressures rises.

How to Get Rid of Scabs on Lips

By: Annie Hopkins

About the Author

Annie writes about a range of health conditions and their natural solutions.  One of her elderly relatives suffered from Angular Cheilitis and this is how she came about finding the solution which she now recommends.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – How to Get Rid of Scabs on Lips

If you would like to know how to get rid of scabs on lips, then it important to understand just what might be responsible for the condition. Over 95% of scabbing, cracking, splitting and soreness at the corners and edges of the lips are caused by a very common condition known as Angular Cheilitis.

Angular Cheilitis is a particularly persistent and aggressive condition which is caused by a build up of bacteria on the skin. The corners and edges of the mouth can be warm and damp-the ideal conditions for bacteria to thrive. If other circumstances are present-possibly a lowered immune system, drooling due to dentures or a brace, or even thumb sucking/pen biting, the the likelihood of scabs on lips is increased.

If no action is taken, the the condition can become fungal in nature, causing thrush, and then almost seemingly impossible to eradicate. Indeed, many sufferers put up with Angular Cheilitis for years, not really understanding what they can do about it. Even creams such as Hydrocortisone can be ineffective in terms of a permanent cure. Over time, the severity and frequency of the attacks will increase until the sufferer is left with permanent scabs on lips.

Killing off the bacteria is key to knowing how to get rid of scabs on lips. First of all, steps should be taken to prevent drooling, by having any ill-fitting dentures or braces adjusted. Also, if pen biting or finger sucking are issues, then paint the offending objects with anti-nail biting solution.

The responsible bacteria and fungal infection cannot survive if it does not have oxygen, so preventing oxygen from getting to the sore area will quickly kill off the infection.

If you have had cracked lip corners or scabs for more than a couple of days, it is likely that the condition has taken hold. If you would like to look at pictures that can help you verify your own condition, you can download this simple and effective overnight cure from the Angular Chelitis Foundation.

This cure will dry out the condition within hours, providing fast and permanent relief. Please visit Angular Cheilitis Treatment to learn how to get rid of scabs on lips.

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – What Causes the Need For Dental Braces?

In most cases the need for dental braces is something that is simply going to be required over time. There is no real way how a person can avoid having to deal with dental braces. It will help to see that there are a number of causes that can make a person need to deal with these braces.

The number of teeth that one has can be a factor. In many cases a person might have some missing teeth or some extra teeth. These teeth can be ones that can easily impact the smile that a person has. They can also influence the spacing that is involved with these teeth. Dental braces will be needed in any of these cases. This is something that can be genetic in most cases in that it will be a characteristic that is passed down from one family member to another over time.

The size of one’s jaw is another consideration to check out. In many cases the jaw can be one that can cause a person’s mouth to be positioned improperly. This can cause some kind of overbite or underbite. These conditions are ones where dental braces can be used to treat them. These problems are ones that are generally hereditary and cannot be prevented.

These conditions are ones that are especially important because of how consistent jaw pains and speech difficulties could result if a concern like this is not taken care of with the use of dental braces. It is also especially important to take care of this condition in a child because of how a child’s jawbones could end up hardening over time to where it can be very difficult to get some kind of condition corrected.

In some cases an accident might cause the need for braces. These include accidents like car wrecks, sports injuries and other concerns that can influence the way one’s teeth work. Severe injuries can cause teeth to be knocked out or to be repositioned by force. When any of these things happen a person will need to work with dental braces to take care of a problem.

For children there are many things that can cause a child to need these braces. Many of these are cases that can be prevented. Thumb sucking and sucking on one’s lip can be things that can cause a child’s teeth to grow improperly. Mouth breathing can be a problem as well. Even biting one’s fingernails can cause teeth to come out in the wrong way.

These are all important causes to see when it comes to why people need dental braces. Some people need them because of how teeth could become crowded or there might not be enough. A jaw problem could cause a person to need braces. Even an accident can cause a person to need them. Most problems are ones that cannot be easily prevented but many things that a child can do that can cause the child to need braces can be prevented with ease.

Asthma Infants- asthma infants | asthma in infants

By: Mohd Rohaizad

About the Author

visit asthma infants blog for more info about asthma.

(ArticlesBase SC #3211114)

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Asthma Infants- asthma infants | asthma in infants

Do you ever feel like you know just enough aboutasthma infants,asthma in infants to be dangerous? Let’s see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from asthma infants,asthma in infants experts. Those of you not familiar with the latest on asthma infants,asthma in infants now have at least a basic understanding. But there’s more to come.

The person who is learning the Buteyko method takes control of their breathing and by reduction of the use of their deep breathing muscles reduces the depth of their breathing until a desire for a deeper breath is felt. This indicates that a higher level of CO2 is being trapped in, so in a short time avoiding the conditions associated with CO2 deficiency.

For you to apply the Buteyko Method in infants it is necessary to
recognize the ways in which your breathing can be affected indirectly. This simply means that you must recognize what makes your breathing deeper,and avoid it where possible. Once you have followed how this applies to adults then you simply apply it to babies.

1. Keeping your mouth closed.

This is the first step for all people learning to apply the method. It is
active in the sense that you control the separation of your lips, but the way that this alters your breathing is passive. You simply close your mouth and the increase in CO2 levels happens to you. [Providing that you do not become stressed and increase your breathing depth, still with your mouth closed. This may be a factor if you suffer from panic attacks.] In most cases people who have been used to breathing through the mouth will feel a little suffocated or feel the desire for a deep breath within a minute or two of having their mouth closed.

This feeling is an indication that you have trapped in a little more CO2 than you are used to, and your normal response to this is for your body to believe it should get rid of some of this extra CO2. This is the reason for the desire for a deeper breath. After a time your body becomes used to the higher level of CO2 that keeping your mouth closed causes. Once used to this level the desire for a deeper breath [or feeling of slight suffocation] disappears. At this point keeping your mouth closed feels absolutely normal, and breathing through your mouth will feel a little odd.

The application of this wisdom to infants requires a little lateral thinking as it is unusual for a baby to actually do what you tell it. The simplest approach is the use of a ‘dummy’ or ‘pacifier’. While these do allow a little mouth breathing they reduce it greatly. Try it yourself.

There are lots of discussions about these devices and the problems that people have associated with them. Crooked teeth, thumb-sucking habits, and so on.

If you were to be given the choice of a baby who was A. Miserable with asthma and associated problems, or B. Much healthier but uses a ‘dummy’ and who may (and this is not proven at all) develop teeth problems.

Which would you choose? It is not a difficult choice at all. The dummy can help!

So, the first step in improving your babies breathing is to encourage nasal breathing. The dummy is part of this, other parts include simply pushing your babies lips together. This can be done at anytime, and done automatically by you even if the child is asleep. Some Native American Indian tribes did this as part of their culture, it was simply a normal part of the mothers job. [I do not know if the father also participated]

2. The other positive aspect of infants is that they will copy you almost exactly Do not under-estimate their ability to absorb information from around them.

This includes you! You are examined regularly ó so what you do with your breathing is very important. If you wander around like a ‘complete wally’ with your mouth hanging open then your baby is likely to copy you.

An excellent example of this is watching how toddlers learn to sneeze. You already are aware of the wonderful variation we see in different peoples sneezes. Some have a powerful and loud explosions that are preceded by a series of warning noises such as ‘AHHHH, AHHHH’ or AHHHHH’ ending with a violent ‘CCHOO!!’ Others have something like a mouse shriek which is like a gentle and brief ‘zthco’ often causing people to turn around to see what that odd noise was.

If you follow a powerful sneezer home and observe how his [more
pronounced in the male] toddler sneezes guess what you will find. The
child will have learned without being officially told that appropriate way to deal with a nose tickle is loud, violent and irrigating method that dad does, or whichever person the baby has learned from.

Another excellent example of this is how to blow your nose. Study
the nose blowing method of a child whose modelled parent is from the
‘enraged elephant school’. I have even seen parents coaching toddlers in power blowing or something that almost guarantees continuing demand for handkerchiefs and tissues.

3. The next part of helping your asthmatic child is to look carefully at what and how much you are feeding him or her You will have heard of the impact of dairy food on people in general.

You may have heard that dairy food is ‘mucus-forming’. This implies that the food itself causes the formation of mucus, but you now know that the food simply causes a change in the depth of breathing which then causes the production of mucus. [The increased depth of breathing causes you to lose a little more CO2, which causes your 'mucus factories' to increase production!]

Your child is an individual, but has similar genes to you. Look at the sensitivities of both parents and grandparents when looking at your child’s diet. Find all of the clues you can about how your entire family handles their food. Quiz your parents by asking what you were fed, and if you had any problems. It is amazing what people remember about their own babies!

Once you have gathered as much information as you can then begin to observe what happens to your baby after meals PAY ATTENTION AND MAKE NOTES!

If you find that coughing is more common after any particular food ó replace it or reduce the quantity. Realize that a huge meal of anything can make your [and your baby's] breathing much worse. [This is apart from any effect of any individual food.] If your meal is too big your breathing will suffer! Try it. Measure your breathing using the Measurement Pause, then stuff yourself until you are past full.

After each 30 minutes measure it again. Look for mucus formation, drowsiness, and irritability. See if your ability to think clearly is reduced. Unless you are breast-feeding your child [which limits the total amount of food he gets], then it is worthwhile reducing the size of each bottle. A childs stomach is quite small ó and too much of any food will soon overfill it. Like you, your child can take a little time to realize it is full and naturally keeps sucking away at the bottle until it is overfull. Just like breast feeding is the best for babies and toddlers in small meals often.

The other challenge here is to not confuse hunger with thirst. Not every bottle has to be milk or formula. We all need water. When you give your baby [or yourself] water it should be filtered. If you do not have a
high quality filter, then at least boil the water, and let it sit. This not only
ensures it is free of nasty bugs ó but as importantly gets rid of the chlorine.
And it will taste much better than tap water.

Apart from experimenting with the size of each meal/snack you give your child, you must also look at the timing of each meal. Think about what happens to adult asthmatics if you have a large meal, followed then by having a good sleep.

Both of these factors increase your breathing depth by themselves.

This impact is much greater when you do both. This is very important so
let’s go over it again.

A large meal will increase your breathing depth, causing loss of CO2, increase in mucus production and greater likelihood of breathing problems. Similarly, lying down, [especially if you lie on your back] will increase your breathing depth. Test this for yourself right now.

A good slouch will do for demonstration. Right now slouch right back in your chair, just like you were watching TV. Without consciously altering your breathing, note how long each breath takes, how easy or hard it is to breath in and out. Do this for about a minute.

Then compare your breathing when you sit up straight. A good model is the following. Sit forward on the edge of your chair, as if it were a bench edge. Imagine that your spine is like a broomstick, and that your body is like a jacket. Your shoulders [the shoulders of the jacket] will drop down towards the floor, not forward or back ó but down. The lapels of the jacket [your chest] will also just hang, not pushed in or out. The belly of the jacket will also just hang. Now check to see that your spine is still a little like a broomstick again. And relax.

Now observe your breathing again. Note to see how long each breath takes, how easy or hard it is to breathe, whether your breathing is nice and regular or erratic. Do this for a minute or two.

You could see the difference. Slouching made your breathing become much deeper. This effect is even further enhanced when you lie down completely. If you lie on your back your breathing can become massive ó unless you are awake to control it. Lying on your side or front simply makes it physically more difficult to take as deep a breath. It is interesting that sitting or standing up straight results in your breathing become less deep. For all of these years we have been told to stand up straight and breathe more deeply!

If you allow yourself to go from the nice straight sitting position to the slouched position ó what is the first thing that happens to your breathing? You find yourself taking a nice lovely big deep breath! Ahh. Let’s apply this to your baby. Large meals increase their breathing depth. Sleeping [worse on back] increases breathing depth. You want your child to cough then give a large meal then put them down for their big sleep!

This is traditionally done because the big meal makes them drowsy, [the huge dose of insulin released does it], and therefore easier to put to sleep. If your child is getting asthma ó then you have to forego this shortcut.

Give the larger meal well before bedtime, and then a smaller snack before bed. If you are using milk or formula, then use a small bottle at bedtime or give water or [unsweetened] juice at that time.

In effect this usually means breaking the larger before bed feeding into two smaller feedings. Just like when breastfeeding. This same rule also applies to adults that have either a very small meal before going to bed or nothing at all.

What food is best for your baby? Breast milk is best. Sometimes this is not possible or always available so mostly you will use or supplement with milk [cows] or some kind of ‘formula’. If you are having problems or at least your baby is with coughing or wheezing, then you need to experiment.

Many children are lactose intolerant which means that cows milk will not allow them to thrive, and will adversely affect their breathing.

As a general rule if your child has problems go off cow’s milk and other dairy. Substitute non-dairy formula or soy or goats milk. Experiment! Try different things for a week or so, making notes of coughing, wheezing and runny noses.

Is there really any information about asthma infants or asthma in infants that is nonessential? We all see things from different angles, so something relatively insignificant to one may be crucial to another.

Important Times In A Child?S Dental Schedule

Dental and health topics are talked about frequently in the United States and it seems that the do’s and don’ts change on a daily basis.  We all know that we should see a dentist every six months for preventative care because that hasn’t changed for many years, but what about your children?  Teeth are easily maintained after they all come in and nothing else changes, but while children grow they need several checkups to ensure long lasting healthy teeth.  What happens during the first 12 years of your child’s life will impact their teeth for as long as they live.

 Children begin to get their baby teeth between 3 and 6 months and it’s easy to tell when this is happening because of their need to bite.  After their baby teeth begin to come in, they can be cleaned by a light rubbing with a wash cloth until they are 1 year old.  From 1 to 7 years old, children need a soft toothbrush and a pea sized dab of toothpaste.  Dentists recommend that children make their first trip before they are 3 years old, but it’s time to make a decision at 1 year.  If your child has high risk factors for tooth problems, 1 year is a good time to make your first appointment.  High risk factors include; lots of juice, going to bed with something to drink, thumb sucking and most of all… the health of YOUR teeth.

 From 6 months to about 7 years, children have their baby teeth and they need to be treated well to last even that long.  Fluoride and calcium are chemicals that bonds to teeth and makes them much stronger, but too much fluoride and it can cause teeth to become brown stained.  It is essential that children receive the right amount of these chemicals and the only person who can tell you how much is your dentist.  Some parts of the country have more naturally occurring fluoride in the water and food supply than other parts of the country and your local dentist will be able to tell you how much your child is getting.  Fluoride and calcium are even more important after your child’s adult teeth come in between 6 and 7 years old.  These are the teeth they will have for the rest of their lives and strengthening them very early on will help protect them until they have children and grandchildren of their own.

 Research has always shown that children who don’t receive proper dental care early on have tooth problems most of their lives.  Not getting enough strengthening chemicals in their food due to malnourishment and lack of dental care has always plagued the poorer sections of the country and the children pay for it.  Over half of the country has no dental insurance through their employer and dental appointments can become very expensive if your child needs braces or has cavities.  One solution to this problem is a discount program like Ameriplan dental and health.  In one of these programs, dentists offer big discounts to their patients in exchange for cash payment.  These programs cost less than a month but they can cut the cost of braces in half.  Other portions of the population may get assistance through Medicare and Medicaid, but lots of people will have to just suck it up and pay out of pocket.

 New advances in mouthwash and toothpaste can allow you to whiten your teeth or strengthen them from the inside, but children have no idea what they need and don’t need.  It’s up to us as parents to see to their health and dental and provide them with long, happy and productive lives.  When our children have children of their own, most of these dental do’s and don’ts will have changed.  Until then, we can only do what we feel is best and what we know works!
