Newborn Infants: A Narrative Fiction

In Our Babies, Ourselves Meredith Small begins her article by stating the observations made by anthropologist Robert LeVine. In an experiment, LeVine showed a group of Gusii women from southwestern Kenya a video of American mothers taking care of their babies The Gusii were mystified by the actions of the American mothers in the video. The Gusii believed that the Americans were incompetent because they were ignoring the cries of their infants. Small then points out that American’s would be similarly perplexed by the way the Gusii women allow young girls to take care of their infants. Small later goes on to talk about several studies that have been performed in order to analyze growth and development of infants under different conditions, the

‘Babies’ is a documentary film which chronicles the first year of life of four babies spanning the globe. Documentarian Thomas Balmès fans out to the grasslands of Namibia, the plains of Mongolia, the high rises of Tokyo and the busy streets of San Francisco in a study of culture, societal structure, geography and tradition, along with parental love and the impact all these elements have on child rearing. In the hunting and gathering society of Namibia and pastoral Mongolia, Balmès follows Ponijao and Bayar and in postindustrial Tokyo and San Francisco we are introduced to Mari and Hattie. While the 1:18 film has no real dialogue, viewers are able to get a distinct feel for each baby’s personality, the role they play within the family

On one cold frightening night, while walking down the streets of a small town called Little Frank, where everyone knew each other, Pedro a citizen of this small town walks down the streets and sees a red puddle. He decides to follow it, and because of curious mind, Pedro finds an object at the end of the red trail. It’s wrapped inside of a black bag covered with blood. Pedro’s worst fears have come true- a dead body. Opening the bag, he thinks so hard that it is not a body. He sees a very cold face. It is so white it looked like the shining white full moon. After studying the face, he recognizes it. Amy a little girl who had a violent family, and her family was the only family who caused trouble in town. Frozen in shock for a while Pedro reacts very quickly and calls 911.

Prompt and officers responded to 1419 N Glenwood #2A in reference to a 10 month having seizures. This officer arrived on scene and contacted the complainant who was stabilizing the infants airway. This officer took over care of the infant and determined the infant was had an extremely high temperature. This officer removed the infants clothing and used a towel soaked in cold water to reduce the infant's temperature. Prompt arrived on scene and took over the infant's care. Prompt transported the infant to Munster Community

The costs of this expansion will mostly go toward labor, as labor is the single largest component of costs for early infant and toddler care centers (Marshall et al., 2004). For teachers to stay invested in the children they teach and care for, they must be fairly compensated to maintain the high quality of care. According to a study in Massachusetts, 72 percent of typical full-time, full-year center expenditures go toward labor (Marshall, et al., 2004). In dollar amounts, “average expenditures per child care hour were $4.42 for centers serving infants and $4.28 for centers serving toddlers. These correspond to full-time care expenditures of $10,343 and $10,015 for the two groups of centers [infants and toddlers, respectively]”

Infant attachment is the first relationship a child experiences and is crucial to the child’s survival (BOOK). A mother’s response to her child will yield either a secure bond or insecurity with the infant. Parents who respond “more sensitively and responsively to the child’s distress” establish a secure bond faster than “parents of insecure children”. (Attachment and Emotion, page 475) The quality of the attachment has “profound implications for the child’s feelings of security and capacity to form trusting relationships” (Book). Simply stated, a positive early attachment will likely yield positive physical, socio-emotional, and cognitive development for the child. (BOOK)

Once babies are grown in test tubes, there would be no need for parents and therefore vanish the incredible bond between the mother, father, and child. The childhood of a child that was grown in a test tube would be completely unconventional, since that child would not have loving parents to teach them anything. Adults raised this way would grow up to be unusual as a result of not knowing what love is since people first know about love because of the love between them and their parents. The adults grown from test tubes would most likely be independent and isolated from the rest of the world because they would not have created a bond with anyone or even interacted with anyone as a child.

The cold October wind blew the drizzle right into my face as I got out my car. The fog coated my glasses as soon as I walked into the Hinsdale United Methodist Church. I was invited to play the violin at a ceremony hosted by the local hospital for women who had a miscarriage. In pain of sorrow there is consolation, in the face of despair there is hope, and in the midst of death there is life. October is the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and the first candle to honor the experience, validate the brief life and pay tribute to the loss of babies.

The situation commences with the birth of one baby, Harting, where after a few hours after her birth she started to develop a fever. House and the rest of the staff had no clue what was happening, but from analyzing the medical records of the newborn baby, House made a conclusion and stated that an infection had spread in the hospital. However Dr.Cuddy did not agreed with House, due to lack of evidence to support his conclusion, until a few hours later, almost every newborn delivered in the hospital had developed similar symptoms as the first baby. House’s assumptions were also supported by other facts for instance, how each mother were in different delivery rooms, they did not share similar utilities, nor had any type of connection.

A tiny plastic toy with reddish-orange hair, stitches, staples, and scars covering his face with his left eye popping out of his head, wearing torn and dirty denim bibs. The doll’s personality and spirit originate from a violent serial killer. When he is killed, his spirit is transferred to the body of a doll to seek revenge for his death.

Rabies is a virus that spreads from saliva to open wounds, its symptoms can kill, and its early treatment was horrible. In the following writing, I will be discussing the history of Rabies from the early stages forward. I will also be discussing what makes Rabies a virus, how it spreads and what it really is.

Rocking the pre-mature baby I just resuscitated in my arms, I began to reflect on how and why I sat in a resource limited outpatient clinic in Tanzania sweating more than I have ever imagined but still smiling; the answer, I love making a difference in global health. In the past 6 years, I have made 7-week long trips to a small region in Guatemala caring for the underserved Mayan populations and a two-month medical mission to the small underdeveloped town of Moshi at the foothills of Kilimanjaro, where in the 1st week I identified a need for neonatal education. To that end, I designed and implemented a program called Karibu Duniani, in Kiswahili means Welcome to the World. The program consisted of classes for the nursing staff teaching exam techniques and their necessity, maternal education encouraging weekly follow-ups for both mother and child to ensure continued health, and continuous staff testing culminating in a final written and practical exam. At the end of seven weeks, I was able, with confidence, to certify five of the nine nursing staff as proficient in basic neonatal exam techniques and ensured sustainability of the program by confirming at least one of the certified staff was capable of teaching. The program worked! The data proved an increase in the number of weekly neonatal visits and a decrease in the overall number

When I was little, the great mystery to me was never where babies came from but why they were here. I mean I understand the way they are made {my older sister Carlee told me all about it} even though i'm sure most of it was wrong she seemed pretty excited to tell me so I kept listening. Other kids my age are too busy making up rumors about things they did or things they have done to “make babies”, but the question is still pondering in my head, why are babies here?

I was plopped down on the concrete porch, on its edge, and my long, lanky legs dangled just shy of our red-brick walkway. I glanced around, up, and down, and then I buried my frail chin between my knotty knees. “I left Baby Doll in the house. Aunt Bird bought Baby Doll for me, for my birthday. I’m 5.” I whimpered into the early-morning-breeze that swirled lightly around me. “I’m gonna take Baby Doll with me to get Momma’s sugar.”

A chilled breeze caused my hair to stand up on end, so I peek over my shoulder to see the window in my bedroom door open. The blue, polka-dotted whipped around violently but I couldn 't hear the sounds of a strong wind. Huh, could have sworn I 'd closed that. . . I spring to my feet and shiver as I step across the cold floor toward my room. On my tip-toes, I pull the screen down to shut it and take a minute to stare out the window. The moon cast a dim light over the small town, illuminating only the fronts of houses and the tip of trees, abandoning all else to darkness. A light fog danced in the distance and I smiled thinking how perfect it looked on Halloween 's night. I looked down from the top floor one last time then tugged the curtains shut.
