oh, as we take on the world 8 hours, i do all this is weird all about the stories that matter to you by policeman follow with we are your is actually on fire. made for mines in the last, in the saturday is lying narrow lamp, like barely able to move ahead will be mia is seriously ill. her parents, mike and alex are afraid she could die. making sure their children are healthy is the top priority for parents all over the world. information and advice coming up

this week on d. w. health show or we look into the best diets for babies and small children explode popular myths about taking care of newborns. and of course, we find out what happened to little mia. welcome to in good shape. ah, if all goes well, most pregnancies last 40 weeks. but according to the world health organization, 15000000 babies a year are born to early a premature birth usually begins with pain and contractions. but unfortunately, the signs aren't always obvious. counting unknown was half way through her for

is pregnancy when she started experiencing painful contractions. her instinct told her something was wrong, but doctors ignored her concerns. she didn't know where else to turn. in one light are from kind of victory to ask and on. no one took the contraction seriously and can. i was told her was just the baby kicking and moving around a little none of the doctors examined me her trying to establish why i was having premature contraction. so what side is sophie levine? hot? fortunately, her baby son is healthy. things could have turned out very differently. colleen anava concerns were finally taken seriously at the mannheim university hospital, and she got to see a senior doctor that was right off and all of our classes pinewood. oh, i knew i was in good hands with doctor novak on some movie. he talked me through what might happen during the birth. i would,

i really took his time with us. both men stood. we haven't, you grown for the 1st time. mother is deeply grateful to doctor novak quote. he immediately saw how worried she was and it didn't take him long to discover. the problem with the baby was breach positioned, bottom down, which can potentially cause complications during delivery to swamp in almost honesty, the zip codes where i could see if its something was unusual with like moves one percent into its room. that's what my intuition told me. i was looking for give miss yvonne, none of the previous examinations revealed anything wrong, but i could tell something wasn't right, hast urine venus to them. the doctor near caplin arnold needed immediate attention . funds on like wonders of our or sort of his day. it was a sunday him on the on site and i just come off of the night shift. how to humor, come to move it. it is as it would soon, but i couldn't stop thinking about it. i kept wondering what the problem could be

if miss was armand. some kind of wiggle osmond in all such. so i decided to go back to the hospital room and personally deal with the case right away did as a parent, as young iep snow. dr. nova quickly decided, carolyn arnold should have a c section right away. although the baby's due date was still 2 weeks off the phone. it was a decision that probably saved his life on the umbilical cord was wrapped twice round his neck. draw carolyn arnold any realised later how life threatening the situation had been little most fuss didn't talk. and the 2nd thing i think about it every day, i keep realizing how lucky i am and he is alive and healthy and that he was delivered safely. wooder. yeah, i was in i feel grateful to dr. novak i every single thing, the store thrones. i that he looked after us and made sure my baby was okay. i'm and i'm traveling arnold enjoys every 2nd with her baby boy. if there's one thing, the experience taught her,

it's that it's worth relying on your instinct. oh, in the western world, mothers often lay their babies down well to play with them, maintain eye contact, and show them love and affection ah, elsewhere in the world, skin to skin contact is seen as all important. in rural africa and south america, mothers rarely set their babies down. instead carrying their newborns with them almost all the time. when a baby cries, it's mother feeds it straight away. there are regional and cultural differences in what's seen as best for babies. but some things are actually not such a good idea. here are a few common misconceptions. you parents are often told that too many cuddles can spoil their baby and turn it into

a demanding monster. it does the baby good to be left to cry now and then that the fairy is, i knew the entry to you this sort of idea that may apparently respond intuitively who's pick up their baby to handle it and haul them hail guilty and be best rhyme or a baby that's crying, nest to become fits and it's anna. oh, parents need to think about was making it cry. what's wrong and react accordingly? wanted to hopefully again no one babies have all different ways of communicating. one of the things they can't do right after they're born is smile. they can't talk . but they can let you know how they're feeling. and one of the ways they let you know how they're feeling as if they're cry. nancy stone has been a midwife for 21 years. she knows exactly what babies need and often has to clear up misunderstandings about infant health and diet. many parents think that honey on

a pacifier will help calm their baby. that's a myth that you should give a baby under one year old honey, whether it's putting it on the pacifier or putting it on your finger. might think that you're doing something good for your baby, but it's actually very toxic in one, extend atlanta. my albert area in the honey and lading also that could make a babysitter because of the meal system is less developed at e v. i n a can can, it can lead to voter nelson. her to come and face was not. as we saw in warren is under a year old, should never be given honey yorkie. oh, the newborn baby has a stomach. no bigger than a cherry. it needs milk $8.00 to $12.00 times every 24 hours. but should it also drink water? that's a question. parents often ask, especially in hot weather easiest, you know, kind of buy babies that aren't getting in a solid foods in their 1st few months, shouldn't drink lucel's often even when it's hot milk is enough money order. how to

get the baby could just nurse more often or be given a bottle on the latest when i in for i start getting solid food at 56 my side. it can drink water with its 3rd meal of the day and get a bit more horses when it's hot man years. later, when a baby is eating proper food, parents still need to be careful about foods like fish, peanuts and eggs, which can trigger allergic reactions. some parents wonder if they're best avoided altogether. he says in the mom i herons avoided giving their babies anything in the 1st year that good horse allergies scratch these days that are considered nonsense . his limbs. it's actually important to give babies, fish and not example in although no whole nuts, obviously at an early stage because it reduces the risk of allergies. this is anchored by 6 months. most babies a teething, which can be painful, but can cause

a fever, which in babies is anything above $38.00 degrees celsius. when a baby it gets m gets its things. it's not cutting through bone, it's not really cutting through anything. so we don't have to imagine that it's in any kind of terrible pain. now it could be that a baby gets a slight rise and temperature. but if your baby is really getting a fever, when it's teething, please bring your baby to a doctor and let it get checked. teething does not cause high fevers. it's a common misapprehension that newborns cant see anything. in fact, they can make out light and dark, even in the womb. when they're born, they can see they just don't have much ability to focus. a newborn baby opens is or her eyes after it's born. and there's this very intuitive distance that parents can just feel that they should hold their baby, and it's right here. and at that distance,

a baby can see all of the structures of mom or dad's faith. another popular theory is that listening to classical music makes bailey's more intelligent . the so called mozart effect. some parents even play music to that unborn, babies in the womb, you know, and, and ha, and all of her parents hope that if they play music to the ongoing babies, they'll benefit from the massage effects that effect. but this has been disproven. my listening to music does not make babies smart enough as on me so. but plenty of love and attention from their parents does make babies smarter and also boost their empathy and social skills and late life. so cuddles, do help make babies happy and intelligent. that's not just a misconception, right? with babies often have a runny nose, a cough, a high temperature, eric and diarrhea. they're immune systems are learning how to fight pathogens.

usually babies can't easily withstand infections. but if an infant is struggling to breathe and can barely feed, it should be taken to the emergency room straight away. it might be suffering from a virus that can have serious consequences. rsv, respiratory sensational virus. it's bright and early at the pediatric clinic in the city of wilson thyme pediatrician. mario balfour has hardly any pre beds in his station. rsv cases are a main reason for the glory of patience. it's a virus that can cause severe respiratory issues and babies and small children that was posted for respiratory rsv stands for respirator cheats. and so she'll virus, it's a virus with major outbreaks every 2 years and it makes a lot of kids sick hung since mia also has rsv. she has to use

a ventilator to help remove the mucus. she's been with her father alex and the clinic for today's in hotness us him. but it, my wife told me there was something wrong with mia that she was coughing a lot heavier than i told her if it didn't get better during the night to think the hospital would be our last resort. hold off nama when we got here. they told us immediately that she'd have to stay on the humor. when alice cook was annoyed, born as likely her newborn babies and small children under the age of 2 are especially high risk. often they often gets infected by older siblings and we bring the virus home with them from kindergarten, kindergarten, small children have a hard time getting rid of mucus, and it builds up in the respiratory tract to drive off the can't just coffee tote. it's also hard for kids with the virus to drink properly, and the lack of fluids would also makes it harder for the mucus to go away. for this cut. in the worst cases, the children may require invasive respiratory assistance. so that means that the children have to come to intensive care stations with their incubated and put on

a ventilator into middle bottled calm damage often as he shuts, ah, the virus had a drastic impact on the family's daily life. me as mother micah takes care of the baby's brother at home. and i like spend the night at the hospital albums and i turned of the coffin gets even more severe as adults, especially after mia uses the ventilator on not me, not even just before the doctor is round me as mother mike comes to the hospital, she misses her 4 month old daughter and is very worried about her. she is ha thought within 15. either she missed it. did you have sweet dreams? city out escrows'll toilet cuz she's not doing so well. constant things could definitely be better, but she still manages to smile at us again and again. yes, there was a period of time here in the hospital when she didn't smile and i was that's when

we knew something wasn't right. or the lassie when nasa, she just lay there like a wet rag arms and legs stretched out, barely moving her head. that's when we knew she really wasn't doing very well. that will smell em, yankee dad, capital sport. with the help of a ventilator and consuming lots of fluids, mia is doing a lot better. still, dr. bellville doesn't take any chances. he only releases the patient when he's certain she's really doing better. oh, it was shipped to feel young, daunting, and drinking. how's that going all yet, so awesome. all person was hungry, so it's a lot better than her 1st day here. then she was any drinking 30 to 40 milliliters . as of you know, we're extending her stay one more night because her arterial oxygen saturation levels are too low to go. arterial oxygen saturation refers to blood oxygen levels when too low, they can negatively impact her bodily functions. the thing that they saw so far would be irresponsible just to see the patient has borderline arterial oxygen

saturation levels and can go home. no, just so we can free up a bed for the next arrest me patient. instead we aim to provide good laura treatment for those who have come to see us here. hold consequent. oh good bother with more flu dog and now the family has to stay for another night. even though free beds are desperately needed. the staff has lots to do, the phone is ringing off the hook and new emergency cases have to be coordinated to the coming of going on for lentils in your welcome or emergency department is completely fool. there's no more space when someone's discharged. and then someone calls it and we can start and take again on the free space gets filled immediately in effect, believed the next day, dr. bellville as good news for me and her parents. oh hi. i um have some important documents with me for speech pathologist, a bye if you can take her home. that wonderful. austin gibson moving is not too

much. you have to worry about. just make sure she gets lots of fresh air and keep her bedroom cool, or keep the apartment cool with fresh here. go outside on, take, walk some. all those things strengthen the immune system and improve circulation and breathing over and over the next young patient is ready for dr. balance carrying treatment. ha ha, go for it. that's it. good. our babies need a lot of energy. growing is hard work. they need 90 calories. per kilogram of body weight every day. that's $2.00 to $3.00 times more than adults. infant nutrition should be made up of 35 to 50 percent fat. and a lot of protein. babies also need a lot of fluids because their kidneys aren't yet fully functioning. their gut flora isn't fully developed and their bodies haven't finished making digestive enzymes. so what's an ideal infant diet with nanina is mother of

to henry was born 5 months ago. jane's is now 3. she's breastfed both of them with henry her 2nd child. it's all gone smoothly, but it was different with the eldest james. those kings advocates, it began shortly after his birth on the 1st or 2nd night in the hospital to let him conquer. he was frequent and weigh in what they said that he wasn't gaining enough weight and we needed to keep an eye on that and am. but i was already feeding him around the clermont you some fuzzy want him to work a still it. nina had a hard sites on breastfeeding her 1st son. she was upset when she was advised to bottle feed him. she agreed to it, but feared her maybe wouldn't want to go back to breast feeding. the world health organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the 1st 6 months of life because it protects the baby and lowers the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

diarrhea, diseases, mid ear infections, obesity and type 2 diabetes. it also low is the mother's risk of ovarian cancer. breast cancer, endometrial cancer and cardiovascular disease. this new mothers twins arrived 9 weeks early at this children's hospital in munich. one of them is still in intensive care. it is especially vital for the tiny babies to be breast fed. the importance of breast milk is well known at this milk bank at another munich hospital. mothers of premature babies often struggle to produce enough of their own breast milk in the early phases of their new bulls lives. milk donations are essential, but often in short supply. after a for song olive food, when we give donated milk to all premature babies with a birth weight below 1000 grams and borne around 30 weeks earlier,

slaves are big wish would be to give it to all babies under 1500 grams. but unfortunately, it's not currently possible due to a lack of storage and the amount of suitable donor milk we receive light on mission location. in some hospitals don't, is a screened and they milk is given to babies and pasteurized surgery, tains all it's valuable, nutrients. breastfeeding is often not prioritized in everyday hospital life, but this milk bank makes it a focus for all employees, toughness and english crust. speech therapy is very precious. with all the staff here are aware of business to the milk bank. whenever a woman isn't producing milk or is upset because it's not working, so everyone here is immediately very open and very willing to advise to see it as a fault. zia, often zia, already it is in the top to bottom. when i'm, if he only opens his mouth like this, and then does this with his tongue good. only latches onto the tip of the nipple. the nipple is then mount completely inside of his mouth. the consultations have an

impact in and premature babies who receive donor milk a more frequently nursed by them, others when they're discharged. according to a hospital, data base advice and more social acceptance of breastfeeding mothers. a modest demands for such an important issue with voice gloves is today. i think the public is far more aware that breastfeeding is good. most of women are also prouder breastfeeding which they should be on so, so we've already achieved the lot from a lot of things have gotten better ago, but there's still room for improvement and still progress to be made on the go to the, to foreign mom. nina says like taishan support group helped her battle 3 with breast feeding her 1st child and after initial difficulties. she really enjoyed it. a nice week when he so close to you, such a precious moments, boy

b i o and above all else, it's healthiest for the child. whatever a new mother eats can affect the taste of breast milk, such as garlic, carrots, and curry. and that affects her babies evolving sense of taste. newborns can already distinguish between sweet, sour and bitter tastes. and they don't much like those last 2. it's the body's way of protecting against toxic substances. by the time they're 4 months old, babies can also taste salt. an infant food preferences are often a source of frustration and conflict with parents. but babies have different taste perceptions, and more than twice as many taste buds on their tongues than adults. that explains why they have such an extreme reaction to lots of foods

ah, vegetable day at the moser eggs, family in frankfort, christiana, and her children. benno valentine and isabel, prepare the food together should either serving salad with fresh vegetable soup, carrots, cucumber, and radishes are favor here. broccoli and especially cauliflower, on the other hand, are just yup. that is not fun. call it kind of flower. it reminds me of eating a brain or something as an enlisted taste bad. the cabbage varieties are unloved, but a healthy diet is very important to christiana moses eggs. sometimes it's hard to find something that everyone likes. she says and eating should also be fun. that one me not only for the course, i'm happy when they go for the vegetables because i know it's healthy, but i also try to find things that they like and, and i'm not strict about it. i don't force anyone to eat anything. he might not

sing of us as broccoli and cauliflower are many children's least favorite vegetables. why is that australian researchers have discovered that these bitter cabbage varieties along with saliva, form of fowl. sulfur is compound in children's mouths. it's harmless, but creates a bad smell that spoils the taste. children have twice as many taste buds as adults, so they taste everything more intensely. nevertheless, eating vegetables is important. the recommended daily allowance for children is 200 grams, but almost 70 percent of children don't eat enough vegetables, according to the german nutrition society. eating only fruit is not enough, says pediatrician baba muth edge. and when it comes to vegetables, there's a lot to choose from because vegetables contain many important vitamins, minerals, secondary plan,

compounds and fiber. and expected mothers can do something for their children's vegetable appetite even before they're born. skipped out taking vice at all the i indications that the amniotic fluid can be influenced by the mother's phased and by her diet. death is ambition, and that it tastes a bit like what the muddy is. salons better than the moon and later the same applies to the mother's mill. we know it exactly of india. what as if the mother and it's well given, she not only sets a good example, it also promotes this positive sense of taste in the child. max and finishes is positively mux infant is kinda find out who want salad me back at the moser eggs home in frankfort. the salad is already prepared. the vegetable soup is still simmering. instead of broccoli and cauliflower, there are lots of carrots, cucumbers, and radishes, something delicious for everyone. i want to find out how to get great
