Dhea instantly shut his mouth when Lusi (31), his mother, thrust the spoon which contains rice with vegetables spinach. However, 3-year-old girl was happily eating rice with fried sausage after the mother remove vegetables from his plate.
According to Louise, her daughter every day, just want to eat if given a side dish of fried sausages or eggs alone. "He immediately went on hunger strike if given the vegetables. And I had to outsmart so vegetables do not look," said the woman who is a lecturer of this.
Feeding in children under five is often a problem for parents. Many children against their parents when it comes to food and diet. Children who have difficulty eating or just ask the same types of foods such as Dhea is also called the picky eater. The children in this category are quite a lot, almost 50 percent.
Difficulty eating, according to Dr. Aryono Hendarto, Sp.A (K), most often experienced by children at the age of 1-5 years. "At this age children are usually very active and are happy to explore the surroundings. Therefore, no child likes eating activity because it is considered boring," said a doctor who is usually called Ari.
A survey showed that most children are picky eaters only eat mashed foods they like porridge (27.3 percent) and have kesulitah chewing and swallowing (24.1 percent). However, children picky eaters at age 2-3 years, in general, just like a certain food types.
Although the general experience of children under five, Dr. Ari confirmed that difficulty eating is not just a stage of growth. "There are many factors that affect why kids so it's hard to eat, for example because the child had a disease that does not have appetite to eat or because of psychological factors," said a doctor from the Division of Child Nutrition and Metabolic FKUI / RSCM Jakarta.
In seeking the causes of child feeding difficulties, according to Dr. Ari, there are some things parents need to be evaluated, for example, whether the number and amount of food that was given in accordance with the needs of children. "The size of the stomach of each child's different backgrounds, we should not force children to spend an excessive portion," he said in the event parenting workshops on nutrition for children hosted by Abbott Nutrition in Jakarta some time ago.
Parents also need to explore the character of children. For example, if the child including a difficult temperament or whether the parents have created a suitable environment. In addition, parents should also be sensitized on child hunger and satiety. "If just one hour to drink milk, it was clear he was still satisfied when told to eat," he explained.
When children do not eat well, they probably will not get the portion of the nutrients it needs so that it can have an impact on growth. Even so, parents should not give the wrong treatment to the child. "Forcing children to eat will only make things worse," added Dr Tjin Wiguna, Sp.KJ (K), a child psychiatrist.
He explained that, if parents want to develop eating properly, parents should first set an example for his son. "How can kids like vegetables if their parents never ate vegetables or bad comment on vegetables," he said.
Parents are also expected to create a comfortable environment, not in a hurry, and without pressure. "Children are also entitled to make choices like eating anything. Throughout healthy, meet only the demand for children," said Dr. Tjin.
Such as milk supplementation in children difficult to eat, according to Dr. Ari, okay if the child has a growth disorder, such as less weight. "Keep in mind that the supplement is not a substitute for daily meals. Children still need to be taught good eating habits," he said.
To find out the nutritional adequacy diasup children, parents can see from the chart the growth of the child's weight. "If within three months of weight infants do not go up, then indeed he is short of nutrients," he said.

HIV Transmission from Mother to Infants always increase
HIV transmission from mother to infant tends to increase steadily over the increasing number of women with HIV in Indonesia. Although the prevalence data of HIV transmission from mother to baby is still limited, but the trend of transmission will continue to rise because the number of HIV positive pregnant women tend to increase.
Thus disclosed Deputy Assistant Regional Development of the National AIDS Commission Good Rahmat Prabowo in discussion "The Importance of Providing Access to HIV / AIDS Prevention of Mother to Child (Prevention-Mother-To-Child-Transmission/PMTCT-)" which was held in Bandung Frisian Flag Indonesia , on Wednesday (01/12/2010).
Good explains, from about 4.5 million pregnancies in Indonesia every year, an estimated 25 percent raises risk of HIV transmission from mother to baby. Estmasi This can be seen from the HIV screening data obtained from PMTCT services.
"Data in 2008 showed that the number of pregnant women who test for HIV as many as 5167 people, of which 1306 (25%) of them HIV positive," he said.
Good adds, until 2008, has been available PMTCT services to 30 services are integrated in the MCH services (antenatal care). PMTCT programs have also been adopted by several institutions of society, especially for outreach and expand access to PMTCT services.
Increased number of HIV positive pregnant women, continued Good, makes the need for PMTCT services will increase. Based on the results of projections and modeling of the HIV epidemic, the number of positive pregnant women who need PMTCT services will increase from 5730 persons in 2010 to 8170 people in 2014.
On the same occasion, Dr. Reni Ghrahani of Allergy Immunology Division Staff Section of Child Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Padjadjaran states, prevention becomes very important because every pregnant women with HIV / AIDS to their babies at risk of transmitting 25 to 45 percent. The risk of transmission when the mother has appeared in a state of pregnancy, during childbirth until later when breastfeeding their babies.
"Poor people's knowledge related to transmission and prevention of HIV / AIDS to make Indonesia as the fastest country in the spread of HIV / AIDS in Asia. The worse the condition of the mother, risk of transmission to infants will increase. The process of delivery by Caesarean section and do not give milk to babies from mothers with HIV / AIDS can reduce the risk of transmission to 35 percent, "he said.
Meanwhile, Corporate Communications Manager Frisian Flag Indonesia (FFI) Anton Susanto, confirms it is committed to improving nutrition and public health, especially children.
For this reason, the FFI has commenced involvement in the partnership program to provide access to HIV prevention from mother to child (PMTCT) in Bandung since March 2009. FFI has teamed up with the KPA, Bandung, West Java Commission for Health (KUJBS) and several nongovernmental organizations to help the PMTCT program through the provision of counseling and monitoring support to mothers with HIV / AIDS.
"We are aware that in several countries has shown that preventive action through PMTCT programs can reduce the risk of transmission rates significantly," he said.
For his support of the PMTCT program in Bandung since two years ago, FFI receives award from Bandung City Government. Award presented by Mayor Dada Rosada coincide with World AIDS Day.

Healthy children tips, DHA and ARA should be balanced
In addition to genetic factors and stimulation, nutrition also plays a major role in optimizing the child's intelligence. One of the most important in the development of the brain is DHA and ARA are needed at the baby's brain growth and development. To function optimally, these two components must be given in appropriate doses.The result of the latest clinical research shows that babies are given milk with DHA and ARA supplementation appropriate, ie, 17 mg/100 kcal mg/100kkal DHA and ARA 34, has a rate of better problem-solving in the age of 9 months. "Research shows these children have the skills in thinking, memory, and also a good level of focus," Michael J. Fitzgerald said, MD, a pediatrician from Bolingbrook Hospital, Illinois, USA.
Research also shows, the level of intelligence of children who receive DHA and ARA are also better in the first year of life. At the age of three years, cognitive development and ability to talk to children are also better.
Breast milk is the main and baby foods are rich in long chain fatty acids polyunsaturated, including DHA and ARA. This fatty acid is required since the baby still in the womb until birth and grow up. Therefore lactating mothers are advised to consume the food sources of DHA, such as eggs, chicken or fish. The content of DHA is very rich in fish. The bigger the fish the greater its content of DHA.
The function of DHA for nerve or myelin tissue wrapping, which will be launched nerves delivery orders. In other words, the substance that makes neural networks capable of delivering nerve impulses to the brain better. Therefore, intake of DHA should be in sufficient quantity.

Most objects frequently swallowed baby
Have your baby chew soil found in the front yard or chewing on the curtains? When not teaching him to play whistle, you should keep an eye on anything that went into the baby's mouth. In the early stages of development, the baby likes to put something into their mouths. In psychoanalytic theory initiated by Sigmund Freud, this stage called the oral phase.
At this stage generally lasts until the age of 1-2 years, babies get satisfaction through their mouths. Starting from the breast, nipple biting, swallowing food, chewing up anything they hold.
May still be fair if you entered the mouth is the pen or their finger, as long as these objects are clean. But not infrequently they insert strange objects, so it is better if you really watched.
The following are four kinds of strange objects that attract the attention of the baby brothers to put in their mouths, quoted from Parenting, Monday (04/19/2010).
1. Crayon
In the crayons, the colors are the most exciting things for the baby. Noteworthy is the existing content, make sure that is not toxic. Generally crayons for the children did not contain toxic materials, so if swallowed will probably only give a little 'color' on baby's stools.
2. Paper
You may be annoyed if the chewing is a favorite novel or the latest newspaper headlines have not had time to read it. But do not panic, which swallowed the paper generally does not interfere with digestion. As long as they are not excessive and other dirt contamination, the paper can be considered as additional fiber.
3. Pup (own feces)
"Obviously this is very disgusting, but not too worrying." said Louis Borgenicht, MD, author of The Baby Owner's Manual. According to him, would be more dangerous if the droppings are entered into the eye, because it can cause pink-eye (conjunctivitis or redness accompanied by swelling of the membrane
eye).
4. Coin
Coins and loose bolts from baby toys to attract attention. Certain metals if not soiled by lubricants may not be poisonous, but very harmful if swallowed up. Immediately contact your doctor to get appropriate care.

Many Newborn Affected Syphilis
Atlanta - Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that usually occurs in many men who repeatedly replace the pair hooked. But now many babies are born infected with syphilis because of the mother. Syphilis is usually a lot of gay or bisexual men. However, in recent years also exacerbated by the number of transmission among heterosexuals.
According to U.S. government reports, more babies in the United States who were born with syphilis. And most of them born to mothers who use cocaine and working in the sex trade. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. This often does not cause symptoms for many years and therefore can be transmitted by people who are unaware they are infected.
When a pregnant mother who suffered from syphilis, then there is the possibility the baby will be born dead, deaf, suffered nerve damage or bone defects. But this should be prevented by giving antibiotics a month before the birth in pregnant women.
"The level of congenital syphilis in infants under 1 year of age increased by 23 percent. A total of 8.2 cases of 100 000 live births in 2005, and reached 10.1 in 2008," said team Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) United States, as reported from Health24, Monday (19/04/2010).
According to the CDC, the increase was also accompanied by an increase of 38 percent of cases in women aged over 10 years. And among the largest increase among black women.
"Syphilis among black women has been associated with cocaine use and commercial sex workers (CSW). Case of congenital syphilis is estimated to increase in coming years," said the CDC team. Primary syphilis is transmitted through sexual contact, usually preceded by a single sore called a chancre. If untreated, patients may develop a rash, fever, swollen lymph nodes and other symptoms. Final stage of syphilis is marked with brain damage, nerve, eye, heart, and other organs.

Babies Can Distinguish Toys Based on Gender
Can you distinguish a toy baby girl or boy? It turned out perfectly. In a room filled with dozens of children, a baby boy will be swiftly chose toy cars while female babies calmly took the doll. Before a child can crawl, trends are like a growing suspicion in society, that boys liked the robot-woman or toy cars and dolls.
In the study researchers gave seven different toys, and found the boys prefer toy car, digger, and the ball as well as ignoring the teddy bear. While the girls chose a teddy bear, toy-cooking dishes or other miniature colorful.
"Given that boys prefer toys that can walk or move while girls love the toys that have facial features or related to parenting," says Sara Amalie OToole Thommessen from City University in London, as quoted from Health24, Tuesday (20 / 4 / 2010).
In this study involving 83 children aged 9 months to 3 years and observed during three minutes of play time. Previously, researchers surveyed 300 adults to ask what the toy that came to mind first when dealing with gender. Approximately 90 percent said cars for boys and dolls for girls.
"We are very interested to see if the boys have different preferences about color. We offer pink and blue teddy bears, but these children did not show interest in the teddy bear at all," said Thommessen.
Based on this study found girls aged 27-36 months approximately 50 percent are interested in dolls and boys about 87 percent are interested in cars than the ball. These results increase the perception of choice of sex toys ever conducted on the study in 2001. However, socialization and environmental impacts also could not be ignored, because the selection of children's toys that can also be based on what is often seen by the child.
While still a baby, a father will tend to be more actively invited joking son, while the girls spent more time to talk. When older men more actively encouraged to explore the environment, while girls are encouraged to play quietly. This makes the boys more like cars, robots or other moving toys, while girls prefer things that have facial features or the game of parenting.

Dying For Choking Threatening Childhood
Children under the age of 3 years most pleased to enter something into my mouth because that's where they get the satisfaction. Negative effects, children die due to choking risk. Neck choking occurs when there are foreign bodies that enter and inhibit the respiratory tract so that the child choked. Any object that size could enter the mouth of a child is very likely engulfed, and then lodged in respiratory flow and cause choking.
Data Centers for Disease Control (CDC) as reported by ilansir from HealthDay, Tuesday (20/05/2010), citing 60 percent of cases caused by choking on food. 31 percent by other non-food items, and 9 percent again the cause is not listed.
When choking, children generally signaled by putting his hands around her neck. Other signs that may be accompanied, among others:
1. Not able to speak
2. Difficulty breathing or her breathing sound
3. Unable to cough
4. Lips, skin and blackened
5. Loss of consciousness or fainting
A child who choked should immediately get help, because consequences could be very fatal. During the airway is blocked, obstructed the supply of oxygen to the brain and can cause death. International Red Cross recommends the approach the five-and-five on first aid in case of choking.
1. Give five pats on the back using the palm of the hand, right between the shoulder blades
2. Give five pressures in the abdominal area using Heimlich maneuvers.
3. Perform alternating two steps above, again and again until the objects that cause choking out.
Not only children who do not know where the dangerous and is not, even adults sometimes have to die because of choking incident.
Choking can happen when someone is drinking or eating quickly or in haste and in significant amounts, when accidentally inhaled food while laughing or crying and acute alcohol poisoning, especially during swallowing and chewing ability has been weak.
When someone choke point so that no obstructed breathing oxygen into the lungs. The brain will be very sensitive if the intake of oxygen is reduced and the long run will begin to die in the time between 4 hours to 6 hours. This is where the importance of first aid.

Babies 6 Months Know Where the Good and Bad
New York- Every man is believed to already have an inherent moral stance since birth. Proven in infants aged six months was able to distinguish good and bad things before parents teach it. Professor Paul Bloom of Yale University wrote in the New York Times magazine that the baby 
was already preparing for a moral stance since birth.
This finding is unknown after the researchers asked the babies of all ages to choose characters that are seen as behaving bad or good. It turned out that these babies tend to prefer a good character. In addition, they also do not like naughty or bad character by the way do not want to see it and try to hit him.
Research conducted by a team of psychologists from the Infant Cognition Center at Yale University, Connecticut, this contradicts the belief promoted by the psychology of Sigmund Freud. Mr psychologist stating that newborns do not have a moral stance and require a condition to know right or wrong.
Meanwhile, in another study, researchers involved infants aged 6 months to 1 year and animated movies using the media to show good and bad characters from the stories. The result, approximately 80 percent of babies prefer good character who likes to help with ways to measure how long they view the photos from these figures.
"With the help of well-designed experiments, we can see that the thoughts, feelings and moral considerations have been formed since first year of life," said Prof. Paul Bloom, as quoted from ParentDish, Tuesday (11/05/2010).
Peter Willatts, psychology from Dundee University said the findings suggest a person can not enter into the mind of a baby and asked them to do something, but have to find out that what most attracted his attention. This shows that babies are actually able to determine what is good and bad by itself.
"We now know that in the first six months, babies learn things faster than we imagine. Sometimes what is mind and infants studied hard to understand," he said.

Staples or stitches After Caesar, Same Great Results
Varese, Italy, perform caesarean After giving birth, usually closed with stitches scar or staples (use gummed pencokot). Recent studies indicate that the second option has the same aesthetic result. The surgeons have a number of ways to close the wounds caused by C-section, ie using staples or a variety of stitches including using materials that must be removed or absorbed into the body. But only few know that whether this aesthetic results will vary if you select a different method.
For this new study, Italian researchers randomly chose 180 of women who underwent Caesarean section for selecting one of four methods of wound closure. That method is through staples or one of three types of stitches, including an absorbing stitches and stitches that must be removed. After 2-6 months found no difference between the aesthetics of the entire group including the wound healing process.
'Generally, women who must undergo a cesarean section can expect to have the same esthetic result without seeing the types of closing the wound,' said Dr. Antonella Cromi from the University of Insubria in Varese, Italy, as quoted in Reuters, Friday (14/05/2010) .
Dr Cromi adding that the results vary between patients depending on the delivery of other factors in the use of sutures or staples. Final appearance and skin healing depended on whether the patient is diligent control to the doctor or not.
For example, women with darker skin tend to have keloid compared with white women. This area can be expanded and sometimes accompanied by itching, pain and scarring. Also women who smoke and have diabetes tend to have a longer recovery time than other women who do not have certain medical conditions.
The use of staples tend to be more preferred because this method is faster and protect patients from suture needles from the accident. But on the other hand some women prefer the type of stitches that can be absorbed by the body so it does not need to do a retraction.
For this new study, Italian researchers randomly chose 180 of women who underwent Caesarean section for selecting one of four methods of wound closure. That method is through staples or one of three types of stitches, including an absorbing stitches and stitches that must be removed. After 2-6 months found no difference between the aesthetics of the entire group including the wound healing process.

Excess Mother's Milk For Infants Health
The advantages and benefits of breastfeeding can be viewed from several aspects: nutritional aspects, imunologic aspects, psychological aspects, aspects of intelligence, neurological, and economical aspects of the postponement of pregnancy.
1. Nutrition.
Colostrum Benefits,
- Colostrum contains immune substances, especially IgA to protect infants from various infectious diseases, especially diarrhea.
- The amount of colostrum produced varies depending on the suction baby's first days at the birth. Although slightly but enough to meet the nutritional needs of infants. Therefore, colostrum should be given to infants.
- Colostrum contains protein, vitamin A and contains high-carb and low fat, so in accordance with the nutritional needs of infants in the first days of birth.
- Helps remove dirt infants meconium is first greenish black.
The composition of breast milk
- breast milk easily digestible, because in addition to containing the appropriate nutrients, also contain enzymes to digest the nutrients contained in breast milk is.
• Breast milk contains nutrients that are useful for high-quality growth and development of intelligence of infants / children.
• In addition to a high protein, ASI has a comparison between Casein Whei and appropriate for babies. Whei ratio with Casein is one of the benefits of breast milk compared to cow's milk. Breast milk contains more of the 65:35 whey. Protein composition of breast milk causes more easily absorbed. While cow's milk has a ratio of Whey: Casein is 20: 80, so that is not easily absorbed.
Composition of Taurine, DHA and AA in human milk
• Taurine is a kind of amino acids in human milk second most who serves as a neuro-transmitter and an important role in brain cell maturation process. Experiments on animals showed that taurine deficiency will result in the occurrence of retinal disorders.
• Decosahexanoic Acid (DHA) and Arachidonic Acid (AA) is a fatty acid long chain unsaturated (polyunsaturated Fatty Acids) necessary for the formation of brain cells are optimal. Amount of DHA and AA in breast milk is sufficient to ensure growth and intelligence. Addition of DHA and AA in the body can be formed / synthesized from its constituent substances (precursors) that each of Omega 3 (linolenic acid) and Omega 6 (linoleic acid).
2. Aspect imunologic
• Breast milk contains anti-infective substances, clean and free of contamination.
• Immunoglobulin A (Ig.A) in the colostrum or breast milk levels are quite high. Secretory Ig.A not absorbed but can paralyze pathogenic bacteria E. **** And a variety of viruses in the digestive tract.
• Lactoferrin is a protein that is a component of immune substances that bind iron in the digestive tract.
• Lysosim, enzymes that protect babies against bacteria (E. **** and Salmonella) and viruses. Total lysosim in 300 times more milk than cow milk.
• White blood cells in the breast milk in the first two weeks of more than 4000 cells per mile. Consists of three types, namely: Brochus-Asociated Lympocyte Tissue (BALT) antibodies Respiratory, Gut Asociated Lympocyte Tissue (Galt) antibodies respiratory tract, and Asociated Lympocyte Mammary Tissue (Malt) antibodies breast tissue.
• bifidus factor, a type of carbohydrate that contains nitrogen, the growth of Lactobacillus bifidus bacteria. These bacteria maintain the acidity of the intestinal flora of infants and useful for inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.
3. Psychological aspects
• Confidence for breastfeeding mothers: that mothers can breast-feed with breast milk production is sufficient for a baby. Breastfeeding mothers are influenced by emotions and love saying to the baby will increase the production of hormones, especially oxytocin which in turn will increase milk production.
• Interaction of Mothers and Babies: Growth and psychological development of infants depends on the mother-baby unit.
• Influence of maternal-infant contact directly: the bond of love mother-baby occurs due to various stimuli such as touching the skin (skin to skin contact). Baby will feel secure and happy because the baby feel the warmth of the mother's body and heard the mother's heartbeat that has been known since the baby still in the womb.
4. Aspects of Intelligence
• mother-infant interaction and content of nutritional value of milk is needed for the development of the nervous system of the brain that can improve the intelligence of babies.
• Research shows that IQ in babies fed breast milk has a 3.4-point IQ points higher at age 18 months, 4-6 points higher at age 3 years, and 8.3 points higher at age 8.5 years, compared with infants not breast-fed .
5. Neurological Aspects
• By sucking the breast, neural coordination with swallowing, sucking and breathing that occurs in newborns can be more perfect.
6. The Economic Aspect
• With exclusive breastfeeding, mothers do not need to pay for baby food to infants aged four months. Thus it will save expenditure of households to purchase infant formula and equipment.
7th. Aspects of Pregnancy Postponement
• With exclusive breastfeeding can delay menstruation and pregnancy, so it can be used as a natural contraceptive commonly known as the Lactational amenorrhoea method (LAM)

Beware of Children Who Could not Stop Eating
Every parent would be pleased if they see their children have a high appetite. But if the child has a voracious appetite should beware. I could have a rare genetic disorder is due. As experienced, Ethan Starkweather (9 years) from Oklahoma who suffered a rare genetic disorders known as Prader Willi Syndrome.
This condition is triggered continuously want to eat that make obesity worse and becomes a disease that can not be cured. Due to this condition, the family was forced to change Ethan's house to make it easier to live with this disorder. Prader Willi is caused by mutations in genes that are marked with brain dysfunction of the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, causing hormone disruption.
Prader Willi is usually associated with chromosome 15 and gene OCA2. Children with this syndrome will be born with a sickly, weak muscle control and has a weight below normal at first.
"But at ages 1-6 years he will develop a voracious appetite that led to his being fat is not healthy. Parents need to hide or lock the food, because they would never be satisfied," said Dr Kent Holtorf, an endocrinologist in Los Angeles, as quoted from AOLHealth, Wednesday (12/05/2010).
The greatest problems of children with this syndrome is to maintain her weight. Besides these children are generally shorter stature than other normal children, have problems with mental development, breathing, balance, growth rate, thyroid hormones and sex hormones are low.
Children who have this syndrome tend to have symptoms such as almond-shaped eyes, delayed motor development, an insatiable appetite, there are such lines or bands in the skin, rapid weight gain, skeletal abnormalities of the body, a slow mental development, testicular tidka down on the boys as well as hands and feet is very small compared to the body.
Doctors often have difficulty in diagnosing this disease and should always be under control. Treatment today is the use of growth hormone to reduce body fat and several new diabetes drug to slow her appetite.
"When these children were born, they initially had difficulty with your appetite. If a parent has a child with a voracious appetite and muscle weakness, genetic testing should be done to get the right diagnosis," said Dr. James Sears, a professor of child health. Dr. Sears said it is important to get the right diagnosis for patients with Prader Willi. Ideally, children with this disorder must perform strict low-carbohydrate diets.
But this only seems easy to say and difficult to do, because these children have a hunger that high all the time and it's hard to feel full. For that needed the cooperation of all family members, friends and the neighborhood. Children with this syndrome can actually have a normal life, but this is often hampered by illness at risk of obesity that makes heart disease, diabetes or a problem with the bone.

Sugar Solution Prevent Baby Crying When Immunisation
Toronto, When immunized, usually a baby will cry because the injections cause pain. According to one study, crying baby can be reduced by giving them sugar solution.
Quoted from the BBC, Thursday (13/05/2010), research conducted by a team from the University of Toronto shows a few drops of sugar solution can reduce the number of babies who cry up to 20 percent during the injection. In addition, the solution can reduce the duration of crying babies up to 10 percent.
This conclusion was based on clinical data from 14 previous studies, which observed 1674 times injections. Sugar solution used has a content of 30 percent, while the age of the baby involved is less than one year. Solution consisting of sucrose and glucose were given only in small quantities, ranging from a few drops to 1 / 2 teaspoon. Giving is done through the mouth, before the baby is injected and afterwards.
Adam Finn, professor of the University of Britol support the research. According to all forms of efforts to reduce the pain during the immunization can be accepted, because babies tend to refuse to injection. "I support if there is further research on this subject. Parents would also be happy if the baby does not cry," said Finn.

But you can reduce the negative influence by simple actions. As quoted from GeniusBeauty, Saturday (08/05/2010), the following bad habits that cause breast and the enemy is not healthy:
1. Weight fluctuated dramatically
Weight gain is the reason for the excessive stretching of the skin. If the weight gain and sudden decline will make the skin become flabby and stretched. Fluctuations in weight can create an unhealthy and lose their breast shape ideal.
2. Sitting the wrong habits
Women should pay attention to how the seat, because of bad postural habits or sit the wrong way cause breast sagging. Therefore, always sit with your right, because not only beneficial for the spine, but also for breast health.
3. Incorrect bra size
When selecting most important notice bra size. Incorrect bra size can make the breast is not healthy. Bra is too tight will damage the circulation of blood can trigger breast cancer. Meanwhile, a loose bra can lead to stretching of the skin, especially for women who have large breasts. So choose the right size.
4. Bath soak in hot water
Please note that hot water can make skin dry and inelastic. Then you should avoid soaking in hot water for long periods.
5. Ultraviolet rays
Many people like to sunbathe on the beach with a bathing suit to get brownish skin. But apparently it can be harmful to breast health. In addition to burns, sunburn also causes the breasts to lose elasticity and increase the risk of breast cancer.

Nausea in Pregnant Women Can Indicates Flu
After a three-month-old pregnant woman, usually the nausea will subside. If the nausea still happens after three months of pregnancy, caution must be taken because it could be a symptom of the flu. Quoted from ScienceDaily, Sunday (05/09/2010), researchers from UT Southwestern Medical Center, noticed this symptom the years 2003-2004. During this period, flu symptoms appeared more severe than usual.
Number of patients is also greater than expected. Presumably, the currently available vaccines is inconsistent with the strain of virus that spreads. The researchers recorded 107 pregnant women at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Dallas was diagnosed with the flu during this period. Of these, 93 percent had cough and 89 percent have a fever.
About 85 percent has experienced increased heart rate, 60 percent experienced nausea, vomiting. Symptoms are similar with morning sickness which is commonly found in pregnant women. Almost 2/3 of participants who experienced flu require further treatment. Complications The most they experience is pneumonia, which is 12 percent.
In adults, symptoms of nausea, vomiting rarely accompanies the flu. But according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention USA (CDC), such symptoms are commonly found in children.
In that study did not found other complications in pregnant women suffering from the flu. Babies who are born are also reported to be unaffected. "At least by recognizing the symptoms, the flu can be handled early," Dr. Vanessa Rogers said that led the research. The results are published in the Obstetrics and Gynecology journal on May 2010 edition.

Age How It Can Teach Baby Swimming?
Norway, Swimming is a sport that must be controlled by children. Children can be taught to swim from an early age, even since they were babies. What age can a baby have been taught to swim? A study found that babies who are taught to swim since I was a few months old, have a physical balance and ability to hold a better than babies who are not taught to swim.
"These differences remain visible even to the five-year-old child," said Professor Hermundur Sigmundsson, researchers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, as quoted from Dailymail, Friday (30/04/2010). Babies swimmers have participated in swim classes for two hours a week from the age of 2-3 months until they were aged around seven months.
A typical session of this baby swimming class is to help the baby doing somersaults on the objects that float, dive under the water, and jump from the edge of the pool. The rest depends on the parents of each infant. Sigmundsson Professor and Professor Brian Hopkins of Lancaster University, and then comparing the 19 infant swimmers and 19 infants who did not participate in baby swimming group.
The only factor that distinguishes them is to swim, other factors such as parental education and economic status is the same. When they reach the age of five years, these two groups were tested with several exercises like balancing on one foot, jump rope and catch the pillow.
The results were startling. "We see very clearly that babies who are taught to swim from an early age is the best in training related to balance and ability to achieve something," said Professor Sigmundsson. But Professor Sigmundsson very surprised at how instructors can bring the three-month-old infants achieve a balance by being able to stand on their hands. Joint visible babies locked and is an extraordinary spectacle.
He believes that teaching children to swim as a baby so give significant results. Specialized training for infants affected in the future. The development is the mutual dynamic between maturation, growth, experience and learning. And we should not underestimate the learning aspect. The results of this study will be published in May 2010 issue of Child: Care Health and Development.

Intelligence Increase Child APPLAUSE
Besides fun, applause can also increase keterampikan motor and cognitive (intelligence) of children. Researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) conducted the first studies about the benefits of a song that was sung while clapping. The results showed a direct relationship with increased activity and skill development are important in children, adolescents to college students.
"We found that children grade one, two and three primary schools who sang the song, clapping his hands to show a greater ability than children who did not participate in these activities," said Dr. Idit Sulkin, a member of BGU's Music Science Lab in the Department of the Arts, as quoted from ScienceDaily, Saturday (05/01/2010).
Researchers also found applause motor skills may help train children so that they can produce neat handwriting, write better and a bit of a spelling error.
Brodsky Dr Warren, a psychologist who supervised the music of this doctoral dissertation revealed applause activities can train the brain and affect development of other brain regions. Another benefit is the kids are taught to train social integrity with other friends, so that better socialization skills.
In this study, Dr. Sulkin and the team went to some classes of primary schools and providing training on track, clapping his hands. This was done over a period of time 10 weeks. During the study, Dr. Sulkin also joined the children to sing. This was to see if the children amused and fascinated in singing, clapping his hands. This activity turned out to be one of entertainment for elementary school children.
"In such a short time, children have better cognitive abilities and assist in performing motor skills activities. Therefore this should be included in education for children aged 6-10 years with the aim of improving motor and cognitive abilities," said Dr. Sulkin .
Dr Sulkin added children's songs that are sung while clapping is usually sung by children up to age 10 years. If observed, then this activity is to function as a guideline to develop and enhance emotional needs, physiological, sociological and cognitive children up to the next growth phase.

Symptoms can psychopath Detected From Children
Hearing the words that exist in the mind of a psychopath who definitely scary because it could endanger other people. Psychopaths usually occurs in adults, but symptoms can be detected from the children.
Like what the signs of children who may develop symptoms of a psychopath?
Science of psychology, defines psychopathy as a personality disorder characterized by the absence of moral principles, emotional and inability to show normal behavior. People who have this disorder called psychopaths. Some mental health experts said that this condition can be recognized since the first signs that allow toddlers she grew into a psychopath.
But sometimes this is not necessarily true, because the characteristics and personality can be changed. In addition, there are also people who become psychopaths as adults because of problems in the past. Early symptoms can be noticed by parents is the child does not have a sense of empathy and look for signs of danger that comes from within himself.
Yet still difficult to detect whether a child can develop a psychopath or not, because environmental factors also influences. As quoted from Personalitydisorder.com, Thursday (06/05/2010) based on a study conducted during the 25 years since the age of 3 years shows there is a different temperament and physiology of a child who has a psychopathic tendencies as adults or not.
These results have been published in The Journal of Abnormal Psychology in 2007.
The research team hypothesized the child can be a psychopath as an adult if the children do not show fear, always looking for something new, less friendly attitude and show reduced sensitivity to negative stimuli. Other signs that appear when the infant is already excessive levels of delinquency, aloof, like breaking things, stealing, lying, like damaging the goods there, especially when angry and likes to yell.
If this occurs, but it should not be allowed to immediately take preventive early, so children are not accustomed to such behavior.
Until now there is no definitive answer about the theory of nature that causes a person to bring a psychopath. But some strong evidence about the role of genetics comes from a 2005 study published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.
The results of this study found very strong genetic component to extreme antisocial behavior such as fighting, bullying, lying, cheating and stealing is found in children who have a callous-unemotional personality traits (CU) high.
Harsh environmental factors which are marked with a case of abuse, deprivation, violence, households that are not happy or a bad past life can affect behavior. But if everything is okay there is the possibility that genetic factors have more influence.
Although researchers are looking for genes psychopathy, Hare believes there will never be a single gene that affects. But more likely a group of genes that do not know how those mechanisms can affect properties such as impulsivity, fear and empathy for someone. Although the gene was discovered later, does not mean someone was definitely born a psychopath.
"Someone can not be born a psychopath, but maybe that person has the basics. The point of all people are born with a temperament and this is formed from the environment," said Hare, psychopaths experts from Canada, as quoted from MSNBC.
In addition to looking for genetic markers, the researchers also analyzed the brain of a psychopath using imaging techniques to get directions. Researchers indicate that psychopaths likely due to lack of activity on the part of the brain like the amygdala that plays a key role in terms of emotion.
Like what the signs of children who may develop symptoms of a psychopath?
Science of psychology, defines psychopathy as a personality disorder characterized by the absence of moral principles, emotional and inability to show normal behavior. People who have this disorder called psychopaths. Some mental health experts said that this condition can be recognized since the first signs that allow toddlers she grew into a psychopath.
But sometimes this is not necessarily true, because the characteristics and personality can be changed. In addition, there are also people who become psychopaths as adults because of problems in the past. Early symptoms can be noticed by parents is the child does not have a sense of empathy and look for signs of danger that comes from within himself.
Yet still difficult to detect whether a child can develop a psychopath or not, because environmental factors also influences. As quoted from Personalitydisorder.com, Thursday (06/05/2010) based on a study conducted during the 25 years since the age of 3 years shows there is a different temperament and physiology of a child who has a psychopathic tendencies as adults or not.
These results have been published in The Journal of Abnormal Psychology in 2007.
The research team hypothesized the child can be a psychopath as an adult if the children do not show fear, always looking for something new, less friendly attitude and show reduced sensitivity to negative stimuli. Other signs that appear when the infant is already excessive levels of delinquency, aloof, like breaking things, stealing, lying, like damaging the goods there, especially when angry and likes to yell.
If this occurs, but it should not be allowed to immediately take preventive early, so children are not accustomed to such behavior.

Breastfeeding Mother Most Powerful Streamline Body After Childbirth
Mothers after birth usually troubled with the problem of widening the body and belly fat. But there are several ways that can be done to streamline such as breastfeeding postpartum belly. As quoted from Buzzle, Thursday (5/6/2010), there are two factors that can be done to get the body back to normal. The first factor is to reduce abdominal fat layer and the second factor helps the body in the healing process.
The first factor to reduce the layer of fat is by breastfeeding. Because a mother breast-feeding can burn 500-600 calories per day to produce breast milk (breast milk). While the average woman needs 1500-2000 calories per day. This means that the task of breastfeeding on infant feeding will burn calories a quarter to a third of the mothers eat.
Imagine the amount of calories burned by feeding a lot more exercise than running or jogging to burn 300-400 calories. But that can not be breast-feeding mothers should consider other ways to burn calories. Another alternative is to go on a diet to lose weight to cut belly fat after giving birth.
Other options to reduce weight after delivery is by mild exercise. Moderate exercise such as aerobics can be helping with the burning of calories. Consult with your doctor what the appropriate sporting body condition.
The second factor is to assist the body in the healing process.
Again with breastfeeding. There are indications that breastfeeding is effective in releasing a hormone called Oxytocin, which can stimulate uterine contractions and may help the uterus return to pre-pregnancy size and condition. So, breastfeeding will help streamline the stomach postpartum mothers in two ways. First with the burning of calories and secondly by releasing the hormone Oxytocin.
Abdominal exercises, like sit-ups and abdominal exercises can also help to tighten the abdominal muscles and helps streamline the abdomen after childbirth. But for mothers who give birth in a Caesar, you should consult your doctor if your condition allows hard.
Another way is to use a corset after giving birth. Although quite controversial, there are indications that the use of corsets postpartum can help the body in the healing process. Many garments such as compression, with various types of standard therapy after abdominal surgery, postpartum girdle may help in the healing process.
In fact, the use of a corset after giving birth, which was new in the United States, has become a tradition in many cultures around the world in the weeks and months after childbirth, to help women to heal their pregnant belly.
