Burping Slide7

Burping My Baby

The way you burp a baby is you lay a burping bib across your shoulder.

Then you carefully place the baby across the bib making sure that the head of the baby is facing the bib.

You tap the baby genteelly but firmly on the back until he/she burpsSlide8

Bottle Feed

Why Bottle-Feed a Baby?

Even if you breastfeed your baby, you will probably want to give her a bottle from time to time. Bottle-feeding can give mom a break, and it also gives dad a special chance to bond with baby.

Heat Up the Bottle

If it has been in the fridge, you will need to heat up the milk or formula in the bottle before feeding baby. Some babies do not mind cold liquid, but most babies seem to prefer it at room temperature or a little warmer.

The easiest way to get it warm is by immersing the bottle in a pan of hot water. The temperature of the bottle will rise quickly. Never microwave a bottle. It can heat up unevenly and create super-hot spots that will burn your baby's mouth. Slide10

Continued…

Test the Bottle Temperature

Test the temperature of the liquid on your forearm before

giving

it to your baby.

Positing

the Baby for Feeding

When the bottle is ready, position the baby in your lap, so that she is sitting up slightly. Make sure to support her head To stay comfortable, you may wish to use a pillow or two to help you hold your arm up. This will help prevent you from having a stiff neck or sore upper back while feeding your baby. Slide11

Last Of Bottle Feed..

Feed the Baby With the Bottle

The nipple should be filled with fluid. A half filled nipple will cause baby to swallow too much air which can cause gas later. To end a feeding or remove the bottle, simply pull the bottle from baby's mouth.

Burp your baby midway through the bottle and again when she is done feeding. Slide12
Slide13

How To Diaper A Baby

Gather Your Diapering

Supplies

The

first step is to be prepared. Gather up a couple of diapers, wipes, ointments...anything you'd need to change the baby. For safety reasons you don't want to be searching for something with a wiggly baby waiting for you. I also always open a wipe or two and have it unfolded and laid out ready to

use.

While

you're there, be sure

the

area is safely prepared for the baby. Is your changing surface secure? Is the area free of cords or other potential problems for your

baby?

Lay

the Baby

Down

Most people have a specific area to change baby. This can be a changing table or changing pad. If you have a table, be sure to use the strap for baby's safety. Never leave baby unattended while changing him or her. Unfasten the old diaper, but don't pull it out from under the baby yet. This allows for some margin of safety in case the cold air inspires baby to let go. Slide14

Hold on to the baby!

Grasp the baby's ankles and gently lift their bottom up and begin to wash their bottom with the wipes. If the area is heavily soiled you can use the front part of the old diaper to remove part of the mess. As you finish with each wipe, gently place in under the baby (clean side up) for easier clean up. When the baby's skin is clean pull the diaper and wipes out from under baby and set it

aside.

Fresh

and Clean Baby

. Place the new, clean diaper under baby and secure the fasteners. If your still have a newborn, you might need to fold down the top of the diaper to make room from the umbilical cord. Don't be afraid to pull the diaper on snuggly. If you have it on too loosely... Well, you can imagine the mess that makes

!Slide15

Clean up!

After putting baby's clothes back on, take the old diaper and use the fasteners to make it into a small ball,

criss-crossing

the fasteners. Place it in the diaper pail or trash. I always keep a container of liquid disinfectant near my changing table to use on my hands. Then I hand the baby off to someone else or lay her down and wash my hands at the sink.Slide16

Reflexes

A reflex is something that you do or think automatically, or a reflection.

There are about 5 different reflexes.

Rooting Reflex

Palmer Grasp

Moro Reflex

Babinski Reflex

Stepping Reflex

I will be telling you a little about these things, please pay attention.Slide17

Rooting Reflex:

When

you stroke your baby's cheek she will turn towards you, usually looking for food. This is very useful when learning to breastfeed your baby. This reflex is gone by about 4 months. You may also notice this occurs when the baby accidentally brushes her own face with her hands. It can sometimes be a source of frustration if your baby flails her arms during feedings. Simply using a blanket to pin her arms closer to her body during feeding may help. Slide18

Palmar Grasp

Palmar grasp is one of these reflexes. This stage is from the day of child’s birth until he is 5 to 6 months old. In this stage, the infant will learn how to grasp the object. When the infant is going through the palmar grasp stage, he will grasp anything which is placed on his palms. If anything is placed or stroked on the infant’s palm, the fingers close automatically grasping the objectSlide19

Moro Reflex:

When

you fail to support or hold the neck and head, the arms of your baby will thrust outward and then seem to embrace them selves as their fingers curl. This reflex disappears at about 2 months of age. It is also known as the startle reflex

.Slide20

Babinski Reflex

An extension of the great toe, sometimes with fanning of the other toes, in response to stroking of the sole of the foot. It is a normal reflex in infants, but it is usually associated with a disturbance of the pyramidal tract in children and adults. Also called Babinski sign, Babinski's sign

.Slide21

Stepping Reflex

A reflex response of the newborn and young infant, characterized by alternating stepping movements with the legs, as in walking, elicited when the infant is held upright so that both soles touch a flat surface while the infant is moved forward to accompany any step taken

. Slide22

SID’s

A fatal syndrome that affects sleeping infants under a year old, characterized by a sudden cessation of breathing and thought to be caused by a defect in the central nervous system. Also called crib death.Slide23

FTT

Regardless of how a baby is fed, birth weight typically doubles in 4 months and triples by the age of 1 year. Breastfed babies should be back to their birth weight in 2 to 3 weeks, but when feeding well, most regain before that period. It is normal for babies to lose weight in the hospital. If the mom received intravenous fluids during labor, the baby may lose more than the average. It is important to keep in mind that "normal" growth is individual with heredity and genetics playing a large part. Infants growth patterns vary, but well-child visits to the pediatrician are essential to assess any potential issues

Gross Motor Toy

Gross

Motor Toys and Activities

Playing on playground equipment is an example of gross motor play. On playground equipment, children will climb steps and ropes, crawl through tunnels and slide down the slide. Running, especially participating in races, is always fun for children. Playing sports such as soccer and baseball gets the large muscles moving, too. Hopping on a hopscotch board, ball play, hula hooping, bike riding, follow the leader and moving like animals are other ways to develop gross motor skills

.Slide25

Fine Motor

Fine motor skills involve the small muscles of the body that enable such functions as writing, grasping small objects, and fastening clothing. They involve strength, fine motor control, and dexterity.Slide26

Self Aware

When

you chat to your baby, call her by name. This helps her form the association between herself and the world

Toys

that react with sounds or lights when she touches them will help to develop her understanding of cause and effect

Letting

her look into a child-proof mirror is a good way to help her self-awareness develop

Allow

her some time alone. Although she loves spending every minute of the day with you, she learns about herself by being allowed to play on her own as wellSlide27

Anatomy Of The BrainSlide28

Frontal Lobe

The frontal lobe is one of the four sections of the brain. The other sections include the parietal lobe, occipital lobe and temporal lobe. Each of these lobes function in a specific way; the frontal lobe is specifically associated with how we reason and plan, our parts of speech, the way we move, our emotions, and how we solve

problems.Slide29

Parietal Lobe

The middle portion of each cerebral hemisphere, separated from the frontal lobe by the central sulcus, from the temporal lobe by the lateral sulcus, and from the occipital lobe only partially by the

parieto

-occipital sulcus on its medial aspect. Slide30

Temporal Lobe

The lowest of the major subdivisions of the cortical mantle of the brain, containing the sensory center for hearing and forming the rear two thirds of the ventral surface of the cerebral hemisphere. It is separated from the frontal and parietal lobes above it by the fissure of

Sylvius

. Slide31

Occipital Lobe

The posterior lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, having the shape of a three-sided pyramid and containing the visual center of the brain. Slide32
