safety for infants

Of course, some high-end bassinets are well made, like the Arms Reach type, but cribs are made for infants on up and can be used until the child is old enough to refuse to sleep in it, and they are very tightly regulated for safety.

m a member of the Toddler forum, but it will be nice to have a forum for infants too.

“Cosleepers” (infant beds that attach to the mother’s bed) provide easy access for the mother to the infant, especially for breastfeeding, but safety standards for these devices have not yet been established by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Please use common sense when using products that have cords. My heart is just broken for those dead infants. I believe one was 6-months and the other 10-months.

Toyota, Ford, Now Gm! Our food! car seats and cribs for infants and the list just goes on! Where are the people that are paid to regulate and oversee these things for safety? Is everyone paid to look the other way these days?

s urologist will be the right person to decide on this and he/she will also refer the child to an anesthesiologist for an evaluation regarding the safety of any anesthetic procedure. As you have not mentioned your child's age, it is not possible to assess whether he can have any other problems with the procedure. General anesthesia does carry some risk of complications and will need to be evaluated in view of your child's age. Do keep us posted on any further doubts in this regard.

Aahhh hope the baby is better, carnt believe doctors over there use methadone for babies I know they use it when babies are born addicted to heroin but that poor baby, the doctors must know what there doing but it just seems wrong

Also, im sure any expert would agree with me when i say that a nursing mother should not be using any illegal substances while breastfeeding, no matter what you find in clinical research studies.

I had 3 kids all vaccinated and tested negative to HbsAg and positive to hbsab when infants. Fast forward to a few months ago (my twins are 15 and daughter 13) all were tested again and still HbsAg negative but also negative for hbsab. This is very common. All they had to do is get a booster and a month later retested, when 2 developed antibodies over 1000 iu/ml and the other was over 250 iu/ml.

Can we just discuss the pros and cons for daycare for infants as early as 6 weeks? Im still uncertain of daycare for my newborn.

Abstract Mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is among the most important causes of chronic HBV infection and is the commonest mode of transmission worldwide. Currently, the presence of HBsAg, HBeAg and HBV DNA in breast milk is confirmed. Several studies have reported that breastfeeding carries no additional risk that might lead to vertical transmission.

After a year of treatment, vitamin D levels went up slightly in the placebo group, and went up slightly more in the normal-dose vitamin D group -- to 16 ng/mL for girls and to 20 ng/mL for boys. That's well below the 30 ng/mL level the U.S. National Institutes of Health states may be desirable for overall health and disease prevention. But kids who got 2,000 IU/day vitamin D3 saw their vitamin D levels soar -- to 38 ng/mL for girls and to 35 ng/mL for boys.

In conclusion, there are not enough data on use of stimulant medications in pregnancy to allow definitive conclusions about their reproductive safety. Available data for Amphetamines suggest no increase in the risk of malformation when used at therapeutic doses, while infants might have slightly lower birth weights. Human data on Methylphenidate is limited and we cannot rule out the risk of malformation given the available information.

For many years, GER [Gastroesophageal reflux] during infancy and childhood was thought to be a consequence of absent or diminished LES tone [lower esophageal sphincter, which is sometimes also referred to as the Cardiac Sphincter due to its proximity to the heart]. However, studies have shown that baseline LES pressures are normal in pediatric patients, even in preterm infants.

goes up to 30 lbs, once my baby girl gets to 30lbs I have to buy a bigger carseat. Infants use smaller carseats than older babies.

I have the Britax in both of my cars but I don't think they make one for infants. We used these when dd reached a certain age & weight to face forward. I would certainly recommend it when you make the transfer!

Hi! My baby(female) is 6 days old and diagnosed with low TSH. The lab test results indicates that she only has 2.03 uIU/ml. The reference the hospital gave us is 2.4 - 40 uIU/ml. My question is, what is the actual/normal level of TSH for infants? What are the necessary steps to take? Thank you and best regards...

i did opt for the rectal therm because it seems to be the most accurate for infants and i got the warm mist humidifier. do you think warm or cool is better? Ill make sure if I get the vapor rub its for infants!

Already moms.. Does anybody know any gas remedies for infants other than moving their legs around. Has anyone tried gas drops ?. My 5week older has been screaming her head off, she's gassy .

I love baby trend. My brother and his wife just had a baby last month and weren't sure if their graco carseat had expired. So they borrowed my baby trend to bring their daughter home in (their seat want expired after all but they wanted to double check). Well the nurse at the hospital told them that baby trend was safer for infants than theirs and they've been using mine ever since! They're gonna have to give it back in a few months though lol.

Ahhhh so you will need meds for hyper thyroidism probably. I do not know how those meds affect your nursing. I only know about the thyroid hormone meds for hypo. Your dr should know this though.....also maybe your babies pediatrician will know as well. Good luck and hopefully someone with hyper thyroidism will pipe in here!

In southern California there has been a measles outbreak and more and more cases are popping up. I'm so nervous for my new baby since she won't be able to have the vaccination until she is 1 so she will be at a huge risk. I'm due May 2nd so I'm hoping it will somehow go away but it doesn't look likely. The most frustrating part is that because of irresponsible people not vaccinating a disease that was pretty much gone is now popping up everywhere.
