Giving solid foods too soon.
The habit of giving solid food too soon for infants younger than 6 months is a habit that has long existed and scattered everywhere.
Often it is even been passed down from generation to generation. There is a large quickly reasoned that the baby or let satiety.
In fact, the baby has not had a digestive tract that can digest solid foods before 4 months of age.
rare occurrence, the baby has diarrhea or constipation after being given solid food too early. In extreme cases, even unheard of babies have blockage of the intestine and had surgery as a result.
In addition, the provision of solid food too early is also the risk of causing child obesity later in life.
Forced food feeding when the child would not eat.
Not a new story that there are parents who sometimes "fed" children who have difficulty eating. Usually, because the child is not eating or eating too long.
Force-feeding here, the intention is to force the child eat / drink supplied by their parents. There is also the force-feeding of children by providing herbs that hope will make children enjoy eating.
Sometimes when children are revolting, even up also restrained her so that food can be incorporated into the child's mouth.
Indeed, these actions are very dangerous for health. The provision of food or drink by force, or when the child was crying and struggled, is at risk for aspiration (influx) food / drinks to the airway or choking. Both of these can be fatal to a child, especially when I was a baby.
Chewing and blowing on food before it is given to the child.
There are some parents who have a habit mengunyahkan food before it is given to the baby. The goal, to be more easily swallowed by the baby or child.
The food will be given these parents put into the mouth, chewed until blended, then removed again from the mouth and is given to babies / children.
In terms of cleanliness, it can not be justified. However a person's mouth cavity containing a variety of germs, which when administered to infants can actually spread the disease.
In addition, there is also that when the food will feed a child, blown-blown food first. Now, make no mistake, with blown-inflatable, various germs in the oral cavity can be ejected also to those foods.
Makes bottle-fed by warm water from the dispenser.
Quite often parents dissolving formula using hot water from the dispenser. Assuming, warm water is enough to dissolve the milk evenly, then do not boil.
Actually, making the correct bottle-feeding is to provide hot water to boiling, then set aside some time about 15-20 minutes until the temperature drops, but still above 700C. After that, put the hot water into the bottle of milk, and then enter the appropriate dose bottle-feeding powder, and stir / shake gently until evenly distributed.
Why is the water from the dispenser to be a problem? The hot water generated from the dispenser often do not reach temperatures above 700C.
powder bottle-feeding really is not sterile. When dissolved in water temperature below 700C, then there is still the possibility of bacteria contained in the powder bottle-feeding is not dead.
Give honey to babies under 1 year.
Honey is known to have various benefits for health. Therefore, not infrequently there are parents who give honey to babies with a view to getting healthy.
However, the granting of honey to a baby under 1 year is not recommended. This is because it has the risk of introduction of germs spores of Clostridium botulinum and can cause severe neurological disorder.
below the age of 1 year, the gastrointestinal tract is not perfect and so can not "hold" the impact of these spores.
The flu but still sniffing the child.
The flu can affect anyone. The problem is, when Mom or Dad are affected, can sometimes be a source of transmission to infants / children. For most adults, mild flu-sick with cough and cold symptoms-often do not provide significant impact on the activities of daily living.
On the other hand, parents are always adjacent certainly eager and kissing her cute and adorable. In fact, this includes parents who are at risk habits in children.
Well, if the habit of kissing the girl is not restricted when the flu, which often result in children not infected. Remember, the flu is a disease transmission through saliva splashes / sneezing are inhaled by others.
One way around that is not really difficult, that is, during illness and adjacent to the child, always use a mask to cover the mouth and nose, so as not to be a source of infection for the baby.
Smoking parents holding and kissing baby.
Not a few papa who smoke. The problem is, not infrequently the papa after return to work and still smells of cigarettes, when arriving at the house wanted to kiss the baby.
As a result, the air is expelled breath still contains substances from tobacco smoke.
Despite not smoke in front of children, the impact remains. If it still smells of cigarettes of breath or clothing, is enough to make a baby / child has a hypersensitive reaction to the odor.
The result, not uncommon cases of children often cough when adjacent to her father that smokers.
Lazy to wash your hands before preparing and feeding.
Preparing meals for children are sometimes troublesome. Quite often the mama to forget or even lazy to wash hands thoroughly before feeding her child.
When hands are not clean handling food or eating tools, germs on the hands can also move to the child's body and make it sick.
