Babies highlights and more: from January 30 to February 5

Today as every week we offer you a summary of highlights of the last week in Babies and more.

This week has been marked by low temperatures and suddenly fear has entered our body, so we have decided to offer some advice to protect children from the cold wave, until temperatures, while still cold, are more close to what we are used to in winter.

Regarding the health of our children we have explained what is the syndrome of cyclic vomiting, we have talked about antibiotics to know in which cases they are useful and we have explained some things to consider if we give medications to a child with a cold , basically so that we are all clear that they are not to cure, but to treat symptoms.

We have also known that the Ministry of Health announces that it will unify the Spanish vaccination calendar, something to be thankful for so that this vaccination does not seem like a joke, that physical activity and asthma are not incompatible (tell Miguel Indurain, that was asthmatic).

With regard to our role as parents, we have known that science affirms something that is not necessary to study, because common sense already tells us: maternal love improves the child's brain, we have issued a warning with the entry how many more eyes there are, Are children more guarded ?, precisely because the more adults there are, the less children are monitored, we have talked about the possibility of enhancing bilingualism since Early Childhood Education and we have known how language development works in children between the ages of three and The four years.

As for the feeding of the little ones, we have explained that the presentation of the dishes is key for children to accept food better, we have known that infant formulas increase cardiovascular risk in children and adolescents by 6% and children. We have offered a complete weekly menu for children from five to six years.

Regarding women, pregnancies and births, we have known that mothers in England abort a twin to give birth to a single baby, a fact that in itself generates debate, we have explained why current protocols do not recommend Kristeller maneuver During childbirth, we have received the sad story of death giving birth at home to an advocate of home birth, which has fueled the debate on the suitability of giving birth in your own home and finally we have learned the words of Santiago Dexeus , who said that women no longer have the physical condition necessary to give birth at home, although apparently he has qualified his words on his website.

We have interviewed the psychologist Cristina Silvente who has explained very interesting things to us. In the first entry he told us, among other things, that "The danger is the use of behaviorism, not behaviorism itself", telling us in the second part of the interview a great phrase: "Babies spoil themselves if you don't take them in arms".

Finally, in the section of the question of the weekWe are asking you, what do you think about teaching young children in English? To give your opinions.

We hope that this week the contents of Babies and more find them interesting, enjoyable and practical. We will work to make it happen.
