can babies ( 8 months) drink atole?

Question

Does drinking cold milk have any disadvantages? Can it be given to babies?

Answer 1

Explain...: ...What you mean.

Answer 2

Not too hot: Atole is a popular mexican hot beverage, thickened with masa (corn) and flavored with cinnamon and brown sugar. As long as it is served warm, it should be fine.

Answer 3

No: Babies are not born knowing how to swim. A baby can sometimes hold their breath as a reflex, but this should not be mistaken as an innate ability to swim. Water can be very dangerous for your baby: it takes a very short time for a baby to drown. It is extremely important that you carefully monitor your baby at all times whenever he or she is near water, and this includes the bath tub.

Answer 4

Why ?: If you put a baby in the water it may or may not have the skill.If not, the water can end up in their lungs and they can die. Babies taken into the water should be watched closely with their head held above water.

Answer 5

Sadly, no: the american academy of pediatrics: swimming lessons for infants and toddlers do not protect children from drowning. Children are not ready for formal swimming lessons until after their fourth birthday, because they cannot voluntarily hold their breath for significant amounts of time until that age. Drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury and death among children.

Answer 6

Not so much : Playgroups are not especially useful for development or socialization for babies less than a year of age. Playgroups are for parents to get together and share their new world of parenting. They are for forging new relationships with other families that are meaningful given the context of your changing family. Playgroups are helpful of course for stay at home moms, but dads are welcome to jump in!

Answer 7

They are...: ...Beneficial at all ages, but i think after 6 months, in immunized children, the benefits of social interaction begin to outweigh the risks of infections.

Answer 8

Yes: Actually, a little bit of both is ideal for babies. Letting babies play freely with their toys or even common (safe) household items is a great way for them to explore and use their imagination. More structured play can help teach routines and can often provide great opportunities for socialization and shared experiences.

Answer 9

Yes: Neither is "better", both are needed by your baby. There has to be some free time to just roll around, tickle, laugh, do what your baby is interested in at the moment. But you also need some time that you lead - reading to baby, looking at books, singing songs, looking at photo albums both of these types of activities are important for interaction with environment and people as well as learning.

Answer 10

No: Both are important. Free play is definitely under-rated; too often we don't allow babies to have "free time" to play and learn to be ok by themselves. Especially as they age, children learn much about socialization thru free play. Yet some guidance and direction with interaction with family members is crucial for development as well. Strike a balance.

Answer 11

Yes: This often happens in the course of development when the babies are testing themselves and gaining movement. My own son was a backwards speed demon!

Answer 12

Yes: Some babies crawl backwards. Most babies sit at 6 months, and crawl a bit later, at about 8-9 months. Then they stand up around 10-12 months. At each regular check-up, the doctor can follow the baby's progress to be sure progress is within the normal timeframes. The doctor can examine the baby to see if there is any unusual reason for crawling backwards. There usually is not a problem.

Answer 13

Yes: Most babies do the squid thing for some time before crawling forward. Some babies never crawl forward, that is okay too.

Answer 14

Yes: It's perfectly normal. It's just another movement skill. Some babies start crawling backward and then change to forward, and some do it the other way. It's usually easier to push than pull, and if the baby uses their arms more, they go back. If they use their legs more, they go forward.

Answer 15

Yes: Nothing wrong with a baby who crawls backwards. Remember that each baby's neuromuscular system may develop on somewhat different tracks and still be normal.

Answer 16

Yes: Ultrasound machines are invaluable in managing pregnancy today, especially high-risk pregnancies. Not only do we measure the baby's size (head, abdomen, thigh bone), but we can evaluate all of the internal organs, from brain to bladder. We also can make sure the house is in order -- evaluating the placenta and the amniotic fluid quality, even measuring the cervical length.

Answer 17

They can: Ultrasounds during pregnancy provide valuable information to the doc.Depending on the equipment & tech, you can locate the placenta which can pick up real problems for delivery. The head size & bone length can be used to validate the expected due date. Some can pick up kidney, heart, or other problems in the baby.
