You may think that you have plenty of time to worry about baby-proofing your home while your baby is still in the newborn stage and your total focus is on feeding, pumping, changing diapers and rocking your little one to sleep. Your new baby will soon learn how to use those cute little hands and how to roll over to get to where he or she wants to be, which means that your home needs to be childproof. Use these tips to help keep your little one safe from any dangers in your home. Strap It Down Televisions, entertainment centers, dressers and nightstands all can easily tip over when a baby or toddler uses them to pull themselves up or as a climbing apparatus. If they tip over with your little one's weight, it can seriously injure your child. Furniture straps should be used to …show more content…
It won't be long until your little one is trying to test his or her independence by climbing out of the bathtub on their own. The non-slip maps will help prevent him or her from slipping and getting hurt. Check the Crib Your baby will be spending a lot of time in the crib, especially during the first few months of their life. Make sure it's safe. It's always a good idea to use a new crib, but if you are using a hand-me-down, make sure it complies with current safety regulations. Drop-down rails are banned on new cribs but may exist on an older crib. Never use the drop-down rail and consider purchasing an immobilizer on it to prevent it from being used. Crib rails that are wider than 2-3/8 inches apart are dangerous. A simple way to check this is to examine the rails on the crib with a soda can; if the soda can fits through the rails, they are too wide and pose a safety risk. Crib bumpers may be cute, but they should not be used in a crib as they can cause suffocation to occur. Keep stuffed animals and pillows away from the crib as well until your baby is at least 12 months old. Keep Medications Out of
The innovation of surfactant replacement therapy in the treatment of respiratory distress syndrome has proven to increase the survival and minimize the complications of the premature neonate. Replacing surfactant has lessened time on ventilators, and allowing the neonate and parents an opportunity to grow together earlier outside of intensive care. This paper will discuss the etiology of respiratory distress syndrome type I, the treatment options and nursing care of the neonate during surfactant replacement.
Credibility or Goodwill statement: Do not worry if your pupusas do not come out like you want them to. I have been making pupusas with my mom for Christmas ever since I was able to walk around the kitchen without getting my hair burned off.
Ensure the delivery area is clean, out of public view to maintain the mother’s dignity, covered in absorbent material to prevent contamination of blood and faeces and drape in vaginal area appropriately with towelling (Bledsoe, Porter & Cherry, 2013). Paramedics should take a set of baseline vital signs, while simultaneously preparing the rest of the required equipment (Saunders, 2012). QAS (2014) suggests preparing a maternity kit, blankets, towels, oxygen and a resuscitation area. They state that once breech is suspected and due to the increased risk of asphyxia during delivery, the preparation for neonatal resuscitation should be a priority. If time permits the paramedic team will wear sterile gloves, gown and face shield or goggles (Bledsoe, Porter & Cherry,
Start walking independently, this doesn’t mean they won’t fall over, gravity is still getting the best of them at this stage in their lives

The question as to whether television is a good way to teach children has always been hotly debated. There has been studies conducted that demonstrate that school age children can benefit from educational programs geared toward their age range. Some elementary schools in the United States have implement educational shows into their daily classes; even high schools and colleges use educational videos as part of their lectures and many say they are beneficial. Yet there is a new trend that seems to be sweeping across America; infant targeted media products. These new shows are now targeting children as young as 12 months, telling parents that it will help their child develop faster and ahead of their peers. It’s an appeal that no parent could pass up because everyone what’s their child to be the next Einstein. The question however is do these products actually work? This is the question DeLoache et al. (2010) and Krcmar, Grela, and Lin (2007) attempt to answer in their research into media and infant learning. Both studies focus on infant related media shows vs patent interaction, which learning style works the best, and if the claims by marketers about the effectiveness of their shows hold some or any validity.
Primarily, they are harmful to kids who don’t know how to use them properly. Some kids that don’t use them the way they should run the risk of actually swallow the bearing in the spinner. If the bearing would happen to get lodged in the throat of a child, he or she could choke and die. Also, if someone throws it at another child, he could potentially permanently damage someone's body.
From the moment an infant is born, it is bombarded with sounds that the brain attempts to categorize. Within the first year of life alone, infants already show preferences for phonologically legal structures in their native language when compared to illegal consonant structures (Friederici et al., 1993). While a personal lexicon is not developed until later in childhood, the early stages, primarily the recognition of word segmentation, begins within the first year of life. The topic of what the important factors are in babies perceiving speech and building a preference to their own language, however, is shrouded in mystery. For instance, Friedrici et al.’s study on phonotactic knowledge of word boundaries gave results that indicate the combination of simple context cues as well as the use of infant directed speech (IDS) allows babies to recognize phonotactically legal structures by nine months. However, McMurray et al.’s results directly contrast those findings by arguing that IDS simply causes a slower rate of speech but does not highlight contrasts between segmented sounds, nor does it enhance phonetic cues. Infant directed speech is a “speech register characterized by simpler sentences, a slower rate, and more variable prosody” (McMurray et al., 2012). While there is controversy regarding the beneficial factors of infant directed speech, most studies indicate that this register is extremely beneficial for infant speech perception in the first year of life.
If I could have everyone's attention. Good-morning ladies and gentlemen. For those of you who don't know me my name is Jasmine Davenport. Today I’d like to discuss traumatic brain injury also referred to as TBI. I chose this topic because traumatic brain injury is a serious and complex injury with a broad spectrum of symptoms and disabilities. Traumatic brain injury effects people of all ages and is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. A traumatic brain injury can be caused by a blow or jolt to the head that disrupts normal functions of the brain Also, traumatic brain injury can cause physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral affects.
Deprenyl also known as selegiline is a mind boosting drug falling in the category of drugs called nootropics or smart drugs. As an effective smart pill, selegiline works to improve brain function, increase concentration, enhance mood and sharpen memory. Deprenyl was first designed and prescribed for the treatment of parkinson's disease symptoms. However, as deprenyl is known to stimulate the mind by increasing dopamine levels in the brain, it also brightens the mood and increases energy in the process and is thus widely used as an anti depressant medicine for the treatment of depression.
A much safer choice for an infant is to use a baby bed. They are designed to protect a baby from being able fall to the ground while their
When infants are acquiring their first language, adults speak to them differently than they would speak to other adults. This kind of speech is formally named “Infant-Directed speech”, but is also referred to as “baby talk” and “motherese”. Infant-Directed (ID) speech has several properties that distinguish it from Adult-Directed (AD) speech. There is a debate over whether or not ID speech helps infants acquire language or is a hindrance in their language acquisition process Several experiments have been performed to test the effect of ID speech on infants’ language learning. These experiments all used different properties of ID speech. Overall, the experiments have proved that ID speech helps infants acquire language better than AD speech for different reasons. Further studies can be performed on ID speech to learn more about its effects on second language acquisition and on different ages.
Many people have found that toys which have bright lights and soothing sounds and fuzzy and crinkling toys, will keep your babies interest. Always use travel toys because this is new for your baby. 5 tips for traveling with a baby are that it is not a toy they always play with and it is new to them. 4. Bring change of clothes- Messes happen more often in cases with babies.
We as individuals do NOT understand the problems with overpopulation. We do not take the time or the effort to be educated enough; therefore we do not help in the prevention of future problems to keep our society as it is now.
Most of the toys are completely safe since they have been carefully designed by experts. As we have mentioned earlier also, they are not easy to break hence your child will not be exposed to any sharp edges or small pieces.
