Downlighter Doesn't Work

weaning at one year: the sums

A few days ago James has at least 13 months. His appetite is excellent and even his table manners, or eating all by himself and with his hands.

As I wrote in other post-weaning with James I began with the traditional weaning to 6 months, then I tried the baby led weaning (weaning or natural) by giving it pieces of food to be taken by itself, but almost all the food ended up on the floor, then after a few weeks (Moved by a husband and grandparents, who feared for him because he seemed a little swallow solid food) I started with le pappe, lasciandogli però mangiare da solo dei pezzi di pane, ogni giorno. Ad un certo punto, attorno al 9° mese, mio figlio ha deciso per noi tutti: niente più pappe! Probabilmente l'inappetenza proveniva dal fastidio per l'uscita dei primi denti, però il risultato è stato che ho ripreso a dargli il cibo da mangiare da solo e da lì non siamo più tornati indietro.

All'inizio (e anche verso il 9°-10° mese) faceva cadere a terra molto cibo (per cui usavo un telo di plastica pulito da cui potevo raccogliere i pezzi caduti e riproporglieli) poi ne è caduto sempre meno. Contemporaneamente, ho proposto a Giacomo tante varietà di cibi diversi, senza mai forzarlo a mangiarle per forza. Ha assaggiato e mangiato di tutto, dalla pasta al pesto ai legumi (cotti, frullati e messi come condimento ai maccheroni oppure inseriti nei brodi), verdure, patate, carne, pesce, tutti i tipi di frutta, ecc. Ho evitato solo le fragole, il miele (può contenere una tossina pericolosa fino all'anno) ed anche i latticini su consiglio del neonatologo della clinica dove ho partorito (Santa Famiglia, Roma) perchè possono provocare allergie se dati prima dell'anno nel caso i genitori siano soggetti allergici (e adesso per altri motivi). Adesso, passato l'anno Giacomo continua a mangiare di tutto, chiaramente solo cibi sani, niente snack per bambini, con sale o zucchero (alimenti nocivi anche per gli adulti, tra l'altro), mangia da solo e con una rapidità impressionante. Inoltre quando mangia sprizza gioia da tutti i pori, forse perchè ha imparato a mangiare da solo con successo o forse perchè ama il cibo..più probabilmente - credo-un mix di entrambe le cose. Credo che per lui mangiare sia una grande soddisfazione e spero che continui così nel prossimo futuro.

Quando chiedo alle mie amiche o a conoscenti se i loro figli - di tutte le età- mangiano, il 90% delle volte mi sento rispondere di NO e che per farli mangiare devono distrarli, o rincorrerli, o forzarli, o che comunque impiegano molto tempo a farli mangiare .

A questi genitori (mamme) io vorrei dare qualche consiglio, derivante dalla mia modesta esperienza:

1) Non abbiate fretta di cominciare lo svezzamento. Non farlo prima dei 6 mesi (dice anche l'OMS) e comunque ricordarsi che fino all'anno di vita il bambino deve assumere il suo maggior nutrimento dal latte (materno o artificiale) quindi il cibo serve solo per abituarlo ai gusti diversi e - dico io- a mangiare da solo, masticare, ecc. Tornando indietro io probabilmente inizierei dopo i 7-8 mesi.

2) Seguite vostro figlio, osservatelo: se non ha più fame o non vuole un cibo non è un capriccio, non forzatelo , non mostratevi dispiaciute. Mangiare non è un favore che i figli ci fanno (ma il contrario), d'altronde è così anche per l'allattamento, we are not to beg him to eat but otherwise .. why the solid food should change anything?

3) Experiment and do experiment: do eat alone , pieces of food (always cooked, the crust part of bread) small at first, to ensure that they remain in the throat. Learn however emergency operations to remove the food from the throat (sometimes happened to me they are real but 'only up to 9 months), avoid the skins of the fruit until it is good to chew, and so on. Brazelton also said that one year, children must be left to eat alone.

4) Do not pretend you eat too . Sometimes the amount of food we expect that a baby eats is exaggerated compared to its real needs. The infant is self with milk (at least the one that takes the mother) and the same thing can be done with solid food, if we let him do. It 'important however that you get to the meal with gusto, and without eating snacks, fruit or other just before (I allow at least 2 or 3 hours between snacks and lunch or dinner).

5) S iate patients and try to tolerate the chaos and food on the ground. Sooner or later, will the gentleman, the important thing is - in my opinion-that the approach to food occur in a non-traumatic, no car chases, pleading, distractions.

UPDATE ON 26 NOVEMBER: It is not true that if children begin to eat with your hands and get used to it for several months and then will not want to use the cutlery. For example I have never forced James to use cutlery to 14 months but he wanted to begin to use fork and spoon alone (clearly beginning to be helped). And do not forget to encourage him with a "good" or "very good". For the small (or small) will eat a real fun and a great satisfaction.

pull the rug shopping cart

My son is almost 13 months and, until recently, shopping was quite difficult, I pushed the stroller with one hand and the other pulled the basket from the supermarket (With the cart we have never failed) trying to extricate between narrow aisles and other people in a kind of snake very uncomfortable.
Last week I decided to put my son to sit in the shopping cart but since that is touched by all - and he continually puts his hands in his mouth-I thought of building a sort of hygienic coating. I did not invent anything, because they sell it abroad already (see here and here), however - not forgetting to save, I tried to do it alone. Shown in the picture above the measures which, after some corrections were right for the shopping cart that is in our supermarkets. You'll need a long piece
circa 225 x 90 (inclusi i bordi per fare l'orlo); piegatelo in due nel senso della lunghezza, ritagliate i buchi per le gambe, inserite l'imbottitura e date qualche punto per fermarla alla stoffa, quindi cucite i quattro lati esterni e i bordi dei buchi per le gambe. L'imbottitura l'ho fatta con 2 fogli filtro -ma ne basta anche uno- per le cappe da cucina che ho acquistato dal ferramenta a pochi euro.
La parte di stoffa davanti ai buchi per le gambe andrà a rivestire l'impugnatura del carrello. Per tenerla ferma si può attaccare del velcro nel lato inferiore ad un dito dal bordo esterno e a tre dall'inizio dei buchi per le gambe e quando si è inserito il copri-carrello nel carrello li si unisce. Et voilà!

Strengthen the immune

I found (after a year of research) finally have a pediatrician that I like. In addition to visiting the child gently (the arms of his mother instead of only on the table to not make him cry) and give me advice on which I sense (for example, no sugar or salt up to three years) also gave us the guidance on how to strengthen the immune system to James in preparation for winter. A winter in which in addition to seasonal influenza virus and parainfluenza viruses, we must also fight the flu virus. Our body then you might find overly exposed to "insults" and occurre - if possible - so prepare react to the fullest.

why I said it was important

1. Rest well and do not subject the body to stress - physical or psychological.

2. Food properly by full of vitamins (Vitamin C in particular)

3. Take homeopathic preparations for this purpose.

In detail:

Child:

Immunoped (vitamins). A vial algiorno for 28 days a month and a no. Throughout the winter. It can also be diluted in water or other liquid as long as no heat.

Oscillococcinum (homeopathic flu vaccine): a tube-dose per week. You can dissolve the granules in 10 cc of water and administered with a bottle.

Then make him eat an orange (if pressed within 15 minutes of pressing) 2 kiwi or mandarins or 4 per day. Grape: better than red. Tomatoes with skin (zinc). Varied diet without dairy foods (cow's milk are unhealthy substances).

Adults:

Immunotrofina (vitamins): 1 tablet per day dissolved in the mouth.

Omeogriphi (homeopathic vaccine seasonal). Half-dose tube per week. E 'currently on the market that seasonal influenza 2009/2010. Please note that the box including the date of this year, because some pharmacies could sell - by accident-that the past year, he would not, in the case, no effect against influenza this year.

Echinacea . (I'm taking this ).

Remember that when taking homeopathic medication should be avoided mint (toothpaste are compatible with homeopathy, as the homeodent ) and the granules are never touched by hand.

Also wash your hands several times a day and when we return home from abroad, as well as changing clothes, viruses in fact, still alive even 48 hours on your clothing, so if someone sneezes near (or droplets of saliva leaves us, even talking about) could become infected by touching the clothes even after time. For this reason, pediatricians should change his shirt before seeing each patient.

When thinking about a second child

above: the stroller phil & teds

When is the best time to think about doing a second child? You often hear people say, "do it now so close growing up." In fact, apart from the need-especially for the mother to regain strength after the first birth should also consider what will lead to the inclusion of a new baby in the family.

A friend of mine told me that the eldest child, the arrival of little sister, stopped to evacuate for a year ..! (Of course parents have had to intervene on the advice of a pediatrician).

On the one hand, in fact, the first-born may not yet be sufficiently independent to allow the mother to devote to the new born, the other the mother may, if the second child comes too soon (according to Berry Brazelton, before the age of Year 2 by the first born), feel they have yet to given to the first. The second year is indeed an important year, in which the child carries a path to independence: "To have two individuals of different ages are heavily dependent but is challenging both physically and emotionally. The risk to children is that a mother may be physically exhausted in the same way. The trend will be or to treat them as children of the same age or a little more push the baby 'too big to grow rapidly "(T. Berry Brazelton," the child from 0 to 3 years)

Brazelton therefore recommend that the second child should arrive when the eldest son has at least 2 years and a half to three.

If you're coming the second son, I suggest a double stroller New Zealand very popular in the UK (and also in Italy that sell ) - see photo above.
