Kira has demonstrated very normal physical developments in MVC, 0-9 months. Like most infants most of what she does in the beginning of her first three moths is to ear and sleep for most of the day. Since she cannot consume solid foods because she is very young , it was decided that she would be breast feed instead of being formula feed since it has been proven to provide more benefits to the baby, which would go on for the first six months on infancy. Some of these benefits being that the infant would be less likely to suffer respiratory and gastrointestinal tract infections, fewer allergic reactions, and a lower rate of acute otitis media. It will also provide benefits in with growth, health and overall development (2017, L.O. 4.3). Initially the first few weeks she lost a little weight but begun to feed heartily and gain it back , MVC, 0 months. Once she reached the 3 months she was occasionally fussy around meals and would sometimes have diarrhea, MVC, age 3 months. There are various factors as to why this could …show more content…
She would spend most of the time falling asleep, slowly waking up. When she was not sleeping she was being breastfed. We know that this is normal because based on text; newborns sleep approximately 16-18 hours a day. Most of it consisting of REM sleep which is set to decline as she gets older because her sleeping periods will shorten and she will no longer need the stimulation in order to grow (2017, L.O. 4.1). This can be seen in MCV, age 3 months where kira is taking a nap every two hours and sleeping sox or more hours a day. There are those occasional days where she would stay up a night but since her sleeping cycle is now in sync with ours. At MCV, age 8 months, she is awake about half of the time, sleeping 8 hours during the night and naps during the day. Like it was stated in the text, she us no longer sleeping as much because she is growing and in not much need of REM
As you get ready to welcome your baby and introduce her to this world, you are flooded with thoughts of how to take care of your little one in the best possible way. You find that motherhood is not only about loving and caring, it is also about making a few conscious decisions to help your child grow in a healthy manner. One such decision is whether to breastfeed your baby or to offer her formula nutrition.
In designing and building a payroll program for a large organization with offices spread across the country, which possesses quite a few changelings to overcome and must be done in a particular manner. Thus having the right application architecture is important where the design is concerned. Because the company has one large data center that each office connects to via a wide area network (WAN), hence the appropriate architecture for this solution would have to consist of a WAN diagram to be used in management of this project, along with system documentation, and information technology architecture documents to provide a visual representation of the network. A wide area networks (WANs) usually covers a large, physical area. And many WANs
A baby needs to have solid food after six months. If the baby is over six months and the baby’s parents, family or relative is unable to provide any solid food, this can be very detrimental to the baby’s health and his or her’s survival. If the mom stopped breastfeeding the baby, he or she immediately needs to be on solid food. Like the two child, the baby might not have any toys but for him or her would be the most important. Like everybody, he isn’t wearing the best
health throughout life” (Klag, McNamara, Geraghty, & Keim, 2015, p. 1059) Although the process has been known to bring some complications and many attempts, the end result has been proven to be beneficial to not only the infant during that time but can be tracked in their life down the line. The decision to breast feed is a decision that will not only impact the child, but can also
Establish Credibility: My son is now 10 months old, and has been exclusively breastfed since birth. He has never experienced any health issues beyond a common cold. He has never had an ear infection, never experienced diarrhea, asthma, allergies, colic or obesity. It is my strong belief, and statistics back me up, that this is in fact because he is breastfed. I believe I am credible to motivate you to breastfeed your infant or encourage your loved ones to.
Whether to breastfeed or to formula feed is one of the many decisions parents have to make when caring for a newborn baby. The decision may seem simple in which parents base there decision on comfort, convenience and finance but little do most parents know the decision being made can have damaging long term effects than that of the present. There is plenty of research that state the significance of breastfeeding that go far beyond the extent of bonding between mother and newborn. Although, that too is important. Breast milk is known to contain antibodies which can help the newborn in developing a strong immune system which influence all the body systems. Research has shown that breast-milk can help prevent long term diseases such as
Citrus, which can cause a diaper rash, spitting up and fussiness due to its high acidity levels
Breast-feeding is nutritionally, emotionally and physically superior for a mother and her child. “Human breast milk is not standard nor is it interchangeable with cow’s milk. It is a dynamic fluid that changes in composition to meet the needs of the baby as it grows” (“Giving your Baby... Diet.” par. #10). Breast milk contains growth factors and antibodies which stimulate the growing baby and protect it from illness such as diarrhea, ear infections, rashes, allergies, asthma, skin problems, pneumonia, respiratory illness and other serious illnesses. Breast-feeding also improves a baby’s chance of remaining healthy. These antibodies are not found in formula. They can not be sustained. Breast-fed babies are also neurodevelopmentally more

My mother breastfed me until I was nine-month-old, then she changed to formula feeding thereafter with a mix of breast feeding for about a year. She had many reasons for changing feeding methods such as being culturally influenced by her family, believing it was too time consuming because she worked all day, and stressing about being in charge of the household since my father was frequently working and never had much time off of work. Although my mother knew about the pros and cons of formula feed, she still believed it was the best choice for our whole family’s situation. In the end, she was able to make her own decision without the criticism, judgment, and pressure from the health care
An infant who is breastfed receives added health benefits compared to a child who is formula fed. In the first few days after birth, the breast milk is comprised of protein, vitamins A and E, and antibodies which help protect the infant from infection. After the first few days, the mature breast milk contains fats and cholesterol, which are essential for the growth and development of the infant’s nervous system, eyes, and brain. It also contains micronutrients calcium and magnesium, which are beneficial to the infant’s growth (Thompson et al., 2010).
A lot of these problems seen in formula feed babies are due to the fact that the particular composition of the formula doesn’t suit their digestive system. Breast milk consists of the optimum proportions of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. It is extremely digestible for a new-born baby because the milk is naturally refined to perfectly suit the baby’s digestive system. The milk also contains growth factors such as, epidermal growth factor (EGR) and insulin-like growth factor. The epidermal growth factor works by helping to prepare the lining of the gut to absorb the nutrients from the milk consumed. Insulin-like growth factor is believed to be one of the primary factors regulating early growth and development. Breast milk also contains essential fatty acids that are not present in most formula milk products. The two essential fatty acids present in breast milk are docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonis acid. Both of these play a vital role in optimal development of the central nervous system, intellectual and visual development in babies. Furthermore, one of the most prominent advantages associated with breast feeding over formula feeding babies is that, breast milk naturally changes composition to correspond to the stage of development of the infant. For example, colostrum is the name given to the first milk produced post-delivery. It has an abundance of white cells and antibodies, it also contains a
Any infant enters the world completely relying on their mother, whether it’s to provide security, comfort, or their first meal. Breastfeeding, although pretty self-explanatory, is the act of a woman feeding a baby with milk from her breast. It is recommended that a baby be breastfed for the first time within an hour of their birth and exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life (Belsky, 2012). However, there is a stigma attached to breastfeeding in some areas of the world, especially the United States, so a common alternative is formula. There are many benefits not only the infant can gain from being breastfed, but also benefits the mother can obtain from providing this nutrition for her child. This paper will discuss
There are many misconceptions today about feeding formula to babies and it being equal to breastfeeding. Breast milk is complex and species-specific; it targets growth and development of infants and provides disease protection. Both breast milk and formulas contain similar nutrients, but formulas are not an exact copy of breast milk. Formula may maintain growth and development, but it doesn’t contain hormones, live cells, immunologic agents, or enzymes, all of which are contained in breast milk. Breast milk contains four-hundred nutrients that cannot be recreated in a laboratory. Formula compositions don’t change to meet the infant’s changing needs. Although many formulas are similar to breast milk, they have drastic differences in
Both my daughters have been breast feed almost up two years of age and even though we had some problems with sleeping for the older one, she just did not want to sleep, we would consider her start of her life a harmonized and fairly normal upbringing. She is now almost 17 years old and I thought it would be a good way to compare real life of hers to what would have become of her development if some of the important needs that the theories are urging for would not have
