Newborns suspected to identify the mother through the mother's scent. However, researchers do not understand how this odor identification could be developed.Kevin Franks and Jeffry Isaacson of the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine say that this development process essentially the same as how babies develop a vision system to recognize this world. Thus, during this critical early period, the sense of smell baby will work and start looking for the mother's scent.
Initial research began by using the brain of mice, researchers found two receptors called AMPA receptors and NMDA receptors, as a key component in the cycle of sense of smell that would have olfactory adaptation, such as Medicalnewstoday debut.
Receptors are proteins found on the 'receiving stations' activated by neural and chemical signals known as neurotransmitters that sense of smell in this case using the neurotransmitter glutamate.
Researchers found in the brain tissue of newborn mice, the fraction of NMDA receptors tended to fall in parts of the brain associated with olfactory process known as lateral olfactory tract. This reduction is likely to activate a neural connections in the region.
Researchers found that over a period of several weeks after birth, the sense of smell in mice brains showed a reduced NMDA receptor activity compared with the survivors. The reduction in NMDA receptor activity caused by the neurons become more active since the AMPA receptor neurons change to become more functional.
Other evidence found in the olfactory neurons changes during this period tends to cause more pronounced sense of smell.
Nearly half of infants born prematurely will face problems such as disability and learning difficulties in the future. 'The epicure' study of 1200 infants born before 26 weeks from 38 weeks that should be passed by a mother during pregnancy.They still, after half of these premature infants at risk of learning difficulties affected the estimated seem to need glasses. When the baby is growing up prematurely, then at the age of 6 years of this risk will increase two-fold.
The epicure study based on monitoring of infants born in England and Ireland in 1995, especially babies who are born before the pregnancy enters the 26th week. The epicure stated that they give publicity to the end that the parents can understand the problem to be faced by their children who are born prematurely.
For boys the risk of a number of issues would be 2.4 times higher than female infants. But researchers team did not explain what the cause of the inability of the risk accepted by the baby's premature. Research leader, Neil Marlow, professor of the University of Nottingham hope the doctors and parents can be ready when the baby is premature.
Love and stimulation of early brain formation are stock was a bright child. Complete with quality sleep patterns since the baby so your baby's brain grow optimally.The newborn, with all its limitations is only able to communicate what they want and feeling by crying. To be able to understand the meaning of the crying baby, a mother should be "close" with her baby. It's not limited to the proximity of physical contact, but also true love which binds mother-infant in a strong emotional bond.
"My baby was only five months, often awakened from sleep at midnight, and cried loudly. Why it happened, what's wrong with him?" complained a young mother.
Chances are that the baby was missing with her mother every day to leave for work. When sleep, especially REM phases (Rapid Eye Movement) or active sleep, there was consolidation or readjustment experiences of the baby during the day. Once one of sadness and joy that is felt the baby would be reflected in this phase.
On the other hand, babies who sleep anxiety or frequent waking at night should also be checked for the possibility he was bothered by mosquitoes, bladder or skin disorders such as prickly heat, itching, and irritation from clothing or the diaper uncomfortable. This is important because it could result in the baby feel uncomfortable, not free to move, disrupted sleep cycles, and do not receive optimal stimulation provided. If you already like that, baby growing risk of developing disturbed.
Please note that the development of children not only when he moved, but also during sleep. Sleep quality for infants and children is the moment of brain and body growth. After a day-stimulated with his mother and nutrient intake in the evening, the baby began to digest and grow. Approximately 175 percent of the baby's brain development occurs in the first 36 months of age.
At optimal stimulation is needed and balanced nutrition. Yes, sleep quality and stimulation. In addition to nutritional factors, those are the two important factors for infant growth.
At bedtime, the growth of brain cells is faster especially influential in the restoration of emotional and cognitive. Sleep includes two phases, namely non-REM and REM in turn. When REM or active sleep, blood flow to the brain and increases brain function occurs so auto stimulation growth of brain cells more quickly. In this phase also occurs rearrangement or consolidation of experiences that will support the emotional and cognitive development of children. While the non-REM or sleep tight, there energy conservation and repair of body cells and hormones necessary expenses for physical growth. The older age of the child, quiet phase of sleep longer. In addition to sleep that night, the baby until the age of three years still need a nap. From the age of 3-4 years, children have not had to take a nap.
Not a bit of inconvenience for the parents also took her to the fruit quickly fell asleep. If this happens, parents are expected to self-correct, if this is because the parent's own habits so that children used to imitate or participate? Therefore, try to discipline yourself and your child. For example in terms of preparation at bedtime, make the lights dim in the house (especially in the room) and turn off the television or anything noisy. Next, take the baby into the bedroom and lay on the bed (can he be held) in order to quickly asleep.
To prevent the baby woke up and whine like to play until the morning, you should avoid a lot of toys in a child's room. Simply provide just one toy in the room, maybe a little, soft, and must ensure safe.
Exact Age stimulation
Affection and stimulation needs to be done since the six-month-old fetus in the womb. While in the womb, usually the mother gives stimulation with classical music playing. However, if she likes other kinds of music, is also not a problem. What type of music was allowed, which importance the pregnant mother happy.
After the baby is born, stimulation still must continue. How to play an active every day, loving, and performed with joy. In addition, investment should be repeated stimulation and varied with with giving examples. Remember that children learn from hearing, seeing, then copy and try it. If he had done, grant awards can motivate again.
Forms of stimulation may differ in each stage of age. At the age of 0-3 months, create a sense of comfortable, safe, happy with the hugging, kissing, or rocking. Carefully, roll the baby from side to side, or stomach-backs (if necessary learn gymnastic movements baby). Additionally, smile, gazing at the baby's eyes and to talk with him. Copy the chatter, look on the baby, or a variety of sounds, voices, and music. Stimulate the baby brain by hanging colorful toys and sounds that lure the baby to lift his head, or reaching, grabbing, and holding a toy.
Going 3-6 months of age, continues to provoke stimulation of the child seeking the source of the sound, playing "boo" and see the face in the mirror. Seeing, reaching, and kicking game is also good to train motor. Encourage children also observe small objects or objects move. Practice him to took a small object and hold it with both hands. At this age, babies usually start to learn to sit and eat by himself.

NOT a secret anymore, since the fetus if Moms intense mix of music on the fetus. This will stimulate the brain nerve cells and increase the intelligence of the child. Musical proved to be one of the most important stimulation to improve child IQ by 15-30 points rhythm, melody and harmonization.
The fact is, signals the brain and brain nerve endings in the developing child as they play music, will help to increase the memory capacity of the brain and little understanding. Wow, amazing isn't Moms?
For that, it's good we begin familiarizing the preschool with the tone and rhythm as early as possible. Must not use musical instruments, voices or kitchen tools can also be functioned as a means of introducing music to children.
Recommend rhythm with gradual
Stimulate the child to music. First introduced with the baby if the vocals. The key, sing cheerfully. Do not be too much thinking about the Moms sound off-key or loud. Because the baby does not care about it. For him, singing with joy, shaking her hips along with Moms, that's all that matters. And if your child is satisfied of it, now it's time to introduce the music.
From whistles to equipment household
For rhythm, lots of ways to introduce music to your baby. From the sound of musical instruments issued, until the sound produced by our bodies. It so exciting to introduce the music of our bodies.
One of them, sing as he patted his hand, patted the buttocks, thighs and pat your baby with a clapping sound different. Or accompanied little voice with a whistle, if you can not whistle Moms, Dads invite to whistle. You bet your child will squeal like to hear a beautiful whistle out of our mouths.
Remove it, let us take your child to sing with musical instruments. The music here we can start with simple tools.
Moms can easily listen to various types of melodic sounds of various household appliances. As make example to the child with make sound from lid crash, knocking the table with a wooden pencil, lip blew the empty liquor bottles, spoons and forks jingled or beating an empty one-gallon and one gallon of contents.
May seem trivial, but let the children play a variety of household items to create the tone and rhythm can also be a good stimulus for the little!
If your baby is getting tired, let him to explore the sound of musical instruments from any object. Loosen the rules if it has to be struck, or things that one must crashed, let your child know the sounds she made. And give children the freedom to choose the tools that he likes. But remember Moms, do not give breakable objects.
AGE toddler is growing rapidly, including the brain that is important as the central organ of control, thought, emotion, and behavior. The success of the process of brain growth is affected balanced nutritional intake during a baby in the womb, the babies, and toddlers.Therefore, the application of a good diet must be started early. Known, intelligence influenced three things, namely genetic, environmental, and nutrition. Specific nutrient deficiencies can hamper brain development and intelligence can reduce child.
Nutritional factors are important because they are irreversible, so if certain deficiencies in the can not recover. Therefore as a parent, choose the best food with balanced nutrition and proper portion should be controlled.
Growth of the brain or the fast-growing brain occurs when the baby is still in the womb until the 18-month-old baby. Therefore, pregnant women must also consider the intake of nutrients consumed. Continued brain development in infancy, is an important period of growth process developed.
Period of growth and development of toddler age to determine the success of child growth and development in the next period. Toddler growth and development strongly influenced the optimal intake of nutrients consumed foods.
So also with the growth and development of the brain that are closely related to intelligence level of children. Meanwhile, the fetal brain experienced rapid growth period during the first trimester of pregnancy. In the third trimester, the cell neurons (brain cells) in the cerebrum and share split quickly. Various nutrients play an important role in the formation and development of the fetal brain that had begun in early pregnancy.
The need for essential nutrients during pregnancy are increased carbohydrate (energy), protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, zinc, iodine, vitamin A, B1, B3, B6, B9 (folic acid), C, and vitamin D. In the third trimester of pregnancy, is very important to consume foods that contain nutrients, like vitamin B6, zinc, calcium, iron, protein, and B9.
Period of brain growth in the second stage of gold occurs when the newborn until the age of 30 months. Infants aged 0-6 months are recommended to be given breast milk exclusively. Breast milk contains enough nutrients to the six-month-old baby. The age of 6-30 months, babies begin to be given food according to his needs.
At the beginning of pregnancy or 17 days after pregnancy, the brain begins to form. Nutrient intake are the main factors which contribute to optimal brain intelligence. The brain is formed by fat, whereas nerve cells formed by proteins.
Children of mothers who ate more fish and seafood during pregnancy will be more intelligent and have the capability development compared with children whose mothers ate little or none at all.This is contrary to some researchers and government recommends pregnant women to limit seafood to avoid mercury, a toxin that can damage the nerve cells in the developing baby.
Chief researcher of the National Institutes of Health Dr. Joseph Hibblen who led the study in the Lancet Medical Journal said, seafood is a source of omega-3 fats, substances essential for infant brain development.
Researchers say, restrictions on pregnant women every week taking 12 ounces (340 grams) of fish and seafood, may endanger the baby because it would remove the essential nutrients needed for brain development.
"This is very surprising," said Hibblen. "We did not expect before clear whether harmful or not if you eat some seafood." The research found that more than 8,000 British women who followed came from the University of Bristol decided and see the state of children if their mothers ate more food than 12 ounces of fish and seafood.
When compared with children whose mothers ate seafood in small amounts, after having tested the speed of motor development, communication and social skills than his age. In addition these children to act beyond the seven-year-old child and had high language skills as eight years old.
Difference when they found the children whose mothers do not eat seafood. 48 percent chance that they are relatively more likely to have limited language compared with eight years of age whose mothers consume seafood. While environmentalists groups expect the government to help protect the environment seafood, such as chemicals and copper.
MOM key role in the family. If a mother had abused or acts of violence, risk offspring born with low weight or grow as a dwarf child.Growing up in addition to the developing child is determined adequate nutrition, it also affected his mother's psychosocial conditions. This statement is at least proven by a recent study in Bangladesh.
A study published Archives of Disease in Childhood editions in October 2009 concluded that children born of mothers who experienced violence (abuse), risk of being born with a small and growing body of developing a stunted runt.
Previous studies showed that the physical and sexual violence on women, the risk associated with them to give birth to babies with the condition of low birth weight, also associated an increased risk of fetal mortality.
To explore more information, Dr. Kajsa Asling-Monemi and his team from Uppsala University in Sweden, to birth weight data from 3164 children and analyzing the data growth of up to 2 years of age.
The mother of these children (a total of 4436 mothers), most are housewives who do not work, with an average age of 26 years old when the study began.
Half of the mothers were known to have become victims of domestic violence (domestic violence). As many as 14 percent experienced physical violence, such as slapped or pushed, and 8 percent had more models of physical violence such as hit, kicked, dragged, and even strangulation.
Approximately 8 percent of these women also experienced some violence during pregnancy. In addition, 24 percent of whom reported experiencing sexual harassment, and the other 28 percent also claimed to have experienced psychological violence such as insults, humiliation, and intimidation.
At birth, the children in the study had an average weight of 2.7 kg. Approximately 33 percent of whom are categorized Low Birth Weight, ( LBW ) weighing 2.5 kg or less. Children entering LBW group were mostly born to mothers who had experienced domestic violence.
Furthermore, children born of mothers who experienced domestic violence nearly 42 percent of very thin, 13 percent less food, and more than 55 percent of impaired growth develops, the stunt now reached the age of two years. Conversely, groups of children born of mothers who are not abused (not experiencing domestic violence), only 37 percent are very thin, 11 percent less food, and nearly 50 percent of the dwarf.
Relations between battered women and children increasingly growth disorders higher after investigators traced the background of maternal education, frequency of delivery, and religion.
Based on the analysis, Asling-Monemi and her team concluded that women experienced domestic violence can affect two things, namely the risk of giving birth to smaller babies than their normal size and growth delay in children up to age two years.
Healthy Start Since in The Womb
It is a holistic health (overall). Not only physical health but also mental and social. These three things are important parts of the developing child to grow.
A healthy child is usually synonymous with intelligent. Well, the intelligence gained from the child learning from this environment starts in the womb. Efforts to improve the quality of the developing child grows covers five periods, which started before the mother became pregnant, during pregnancy, childbirth, infancy and toddler, until the time of school and teen age.
These efforts conducted jointly by the mother, father, family, environment, and schools.
Children are a gift that must be preserved and celebrated his presence. It is hard to do when the mother does not have the physical readiness, psychological, and financial. That is why, every pregnancy should planned. Before pregnant, be sure to have created mutual understanding and openness between partners, as well as support from family.
In addition, pregnancy is a decision between the two wives and husbands, so that should be the desire and agreement. It would be nice if the family and the environment also supports.
As stated pregnant mothers, a variety of physical and psychological readiness to consider. For physical health fetuses, pregnant women should eat a nutritious diet with a balanced diet that includes carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, iron, and iodine. In addition, monitor maternal and fetal health through regular prenatal care.
The mental readiness, in addition to full support of her husband and family, also need to cultivate mutual respect. In order to stimulate the intelligence of the fetus, parents can do early stimulation. The way to stimulate all the senses (sensory) fetus, especially of hearing, touch, and feelings.
Turn the music is fun mom, or sing a favorite song mother and fetus. This can be done, stroking mother's stomach, either by the mother, father, or other family members such as grandmothers and grandfathers.
Baby grow by learning from the parents and the neighborhood. The home is the best place for babies to grow and flourish under his parents care.Parents are best "nanny" for the baby. This was ever proven in a study conducted in Singapore. Study involving 2000 children aged 6? 12 years concluded that children who are entrusted in the care of children and was raised by foster parents or attendants have twice as large as possible experiencing mental health problems compared to children who are cared for solely by parents.
In that study, a team of researchers from the Institute of Mental Health of Singapore and National University of Singapore found a direct relationship between the absence of parents with emotional and deviant behaviors in children such as depression, anxiety, aggressive and disturbing behavior (ignorant).
Representatives of the researchers, Dr Bernardine Woo, said, babies who live with single parents (his mother) since divorced, widowed, or a widow, three times greater likelihood experiencing mental health problems than other children.
"A number of postulates, suggested the reason lies in the lack of support from parents and the quality of attention that may differ between children with one another, which in turn will affect the children psychologically," said Woo.
In Asia, are common when parents are busy at work leaving their children in the care of servants, friends, relatives, or child care center.
The study also found that generally, the possibility of boys to experience behavioral and emotional problems are two times higher than girls. In addition, boys with a low IQ (intelligence quotient) risk three times higher have the same problems as those who have a higher IQ.
Fact is really unfortunate if you as parents to spend the golden period to educate the baby, particularly in the first three years of life. Recent brain research indicates that the age of the first three years are the foundation phase of brain development.
Here the children will be permanently brain structure is formed, thus permanently influential as well. Furthermore, before the age of 7 years, children's brain development can be said almost perfectly formed (about 90 per cent). All childhood experiences, both positive and negative, will affect the long term in a child's life.
Similarly, a person's ability to manage emotions throughout his life depends on biological systems shaped by experience emotional bond (emotional bonding) as a kid. So, if you do not want your child to grow up with mental or behavioral disorders, tighten compassion and avoid violent behavior against children.
Children with problems are not far away, certainly from his parents! Maybe his parents' home just like scolding or hitting, so the impact on behavior outside of the troubled. Have been so many studies have reported that children who often experience domestic violence are usually troubled by his behavior.
So is the children who often witness violence or arguments at home parents, have a higher propensity to bullying other children. In addition, they are also at risk of depression and anxiety.
So parents who exhibit violence at home and have small children, should consider the effect of such violence on children. Remember that children are "great imitator" and the child's brain like a sponge which absorbs everything that is so strong that it receives.
They can channel what it sees with a variety of ways, even it is not impossible they will do physical violence against other children.
The Mothers Most Contribute
The Best Teacher in the World Is Mommy. Nurturing early childhood (under 5 years) will be very good if done by his own mother. Mother has a caring nature that is not replaceable by anyone. Child must feel comfortable when with his mother.
When he was comfortable, the child will be easier to process information and learn many things. This can be observed by the mother well. Mother also has ties (bonding) is strong with the kids. She is able to know and understand the progress and difficulties experienced by the child. Children with proper maternal care will grow into children who are confident and capable of directing him to learn continuously.
For mothers who are aware of the importance of assisting in the growth of the child, the decision not to work too often becomes a choice.
Step two trimesters of pregnancy, the nausea began to disappear. The appetite was back to normal. Many pregnant women in this period "justify" all the good food and delicious. And the food is not necessarily required by fetus. Food and snacks such as what is good fetal growth?While pregnant, consider the quality of food. Because the food into the body becomes the raw material of the fetal growth. Caloric needs depend on age, weight, and height. So if the normal requirement of 1500 kcal, then the pregnancy to be 2000 kcal. With the composition of carbohydrate intake of 60-70 percent, 15-20 percent of intake of vegetable and animal protein, and 15 percent of an unsaturated oil.
Do not forget the 25 grams of fruit a variety of colors and a variety of vegetables. Usually, especially in the two trimesters, pregnant women often prefers to eat well wishes with a sense of delicious and tasty. And it is not healthy.
Omega 3 for brain
Moreover, during the second trimester, the fetal brain formation process began to evolve toward perfection. Therefore, pregnant women should change the pattern of food to eat more fish. Because marine fish contained in Omega 3, which is required in the formation of fetal brain tissue.
Do not let the lack of one mother who needed nutrition during pregnancy trimester two. Fatal result, the formation of brain tissue can not be perfect.
Fish Allergy
For pregnant women allergic to fish, you should still eat food from the sea, such as shrimp and crabs. Very high protein and support the improvement of brain tissue. If the allergy sea fish such as swordfish, tuna can try. Many seafood can also be alternatives.
If the pregnant mother really sea food allergies, can replace the eggs. Provided that consumed just enough egg white, where the high protein.
Select Fresh Fish
Before deciding not to eat seafood due to allergies, see the first cause. For example, allergies do not usually eat fish, a sudden allergy. This could be due to contaminated fish or bad protein.
Therefore, it is important to choose fresh fish. Notice the eyes and gills of fish, whether fresh or not. But if it had a seafood allergy talent, yes, only the consumption of animal and vegetable side dishes that many proteins, such as eggs and eating lots of vegetables.
Eating and Drinking Fruit Milk
Besides protein, during the second trimester, also need vitamins and minerals. Various kinds of vitamins recommended for pregnant women are vitamins and minerals. Various kinds of vitamins recommended for pregnant women are vitamin B complex, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E that serves to enhance fitness pregnant.
Vitamin B complex can be obtained on cereals, grains, nuts, green vegetables, yeast, eggs and dairy products. Vitamin B complex is useful for maintaining the nervous system, muscles and heart to function normally. Vitamin D is useful for bone growth and formation of the baby. Can be found in fish liver oils, egg yolk and milk.
Vitamin E useful for the formation of red blood cells healthy. Vitamin E can be found in institutions, especially grains of wheat, pulses, vegetable oil and green vegetables. Breakfast can eat green beans.
While for the fulfillment of vitamins and minerals can pregnant women eat mixed juice, such as bananas and orange juice. Notice also the intake of calcium. Pregnant women and fetuses in dire need of calcium. Even until the next feeding. One way is by drinking milk. If you do not like cow's milk, soy milk can choose.
Reduce Oil
Which are often wrong, pregnant women do not maintain a healthy diet and correct. Myth pregnant women to eat for two people, making pregnant women eat a lot but did not notice the quality of nutrition.
The doctor who likes to weave these elaborate, pregnant women should reduce the use of oil in the food processing every time. Pregnant women need only 12,5-15 grams of oil.
Do not combine it with the fried coconut. Like fried chicken. Or eating food which is too plain coconut milk with fried fish. Better a dish there are several variations of toppings choices.
NUTRITION and stimulation was instrumental in the development of baby's growth. This relates closely to the development of the brain that affects the child's intelligence. Based on these reasons, nutrition and stimulation in two years should be given early in life to a child's brain can grow and develop optimally.Intelligence is strongly influenced by the stimulation the child receives in the early years of his life, especially the first two years of what we often call the golden years. Stimulating the right, both in types and frequency, will train the child's senses and will affect his intelligence.
Meanwhile, the most important nutrients that your baby needs for growth and brain development in the first two years of age is breast milk. Besides containing all the nutrients your baby needs, appropriate nursing process is also a stimulant of growth and brain development is perfect for babies.
Once the baby out immediately placed in the arms of his mother and give milk for 30 minutes. If the first 30 minutes are not directly given breast milk, breastfeeding capacity will drop to 50 percent. Exclusive breastfeeding able to be granted until the age of 18 months. But do not forget, not only breast milk enough, give all the nutrition and stimulation.
Brain function depends on the number of brain cells and branches. Number of neurotransmitters or substances that activate the synapse (connection between nerve cells), and the quality of myelin or nerve sheath cells.
Myelin consists of iron, fat, and cholesterol. There is also a cell membrane composed of DHA, glycoprotein and the like. The synapse, when stimulated will multiply and will disappear spontaneously when not in use. So we do not have much time to stimulate the child.
After a period of exclusive breastfeeding is over, an additional intake of nutrients for brain development can be obtained from milk-rich supplementary food nutrients derived from animal protein sources and vegetables. While stimulation, can be done by playing with the baby.
How do we give stimulation in baby is a way to invite them to interact and play for 20-30 minutes, does not interfere with other activities. That is not to do while watching television and other forms of activity. Also, do not force the invite to play based on their parents' will but follow willingness of baby.
Stimulation of the child handed goal to give attention and emotional closeness. To get kids attention and closeness can be done by way of showing feelings of pleasure playing with him and get his attention at the time was playing.
Not only that, through the stimulation can be done to establish effective communication in both directions. Even stimulate expression of the child, feelings and ideas and the way they think logically.
Stimulation of action is sometimes necessary to be implemented by way of "disruptive" baby, so he wants to interact. And when baby are afraid of something, do not force him to be brave. How, have you give nutrition and stimulation in baby?
Nutritional anemia or iron in the blood is less known is one of the main nutritional problems in third countries, which may be suffered by all the age groups from infants, toddlers, school aged children, adolescents, adults, and elderly. Various scientific studies show that patients also suffer from malnutrition iron deficiency is a negative impact on child growth and development. Anemia due to lack of nutrition and vitamins and other minerals still need attention. In fact, almost all age groups still suffer from anemia.
Based on Household Health Survey, the prevalence of anemia in infants around 0-5 years 47%, school aged children and adolescents about 26.5%, and women of childbearing age ranges from 40%.
Seeing some of the results of this survey, anemia, malnutrition remains a major nutritional problems in children, pregnant women, and women in general.
But the concern anemia is anemia that occurs in pregnant women and infants. Why? Because the group of pregnant women and infants is a group that has a golden period and the critical period. That is, mothers who are in need of containing minerals, protein, and folic acid. Toddlers also have a large period of growth, including brain growth is also desperately needed the intake.
If during pregnancy a mother and toddler mineral deficiencies, protein, and folic acid, a child will have a risk of permanent brain damage. If there is permanent brain damage, would be bad in the process of brain development.
Loss generation
When entering school, children have less intelligence.
Anemia can cause damage to brain cells is more dangerous permanently damage skin cells. Once brain cells are damaged can not be restored. Therefore, in the gold and the critical need of attention.
Unlike the case of famine. Although skin wrinkles and belly, can be solved as before. While toddlers who have suffered permanent brain damage difficult to overcome. This is a concern, the generation loss due to brain damage. Brain damage is difficult to be restored.
Rapid brain growth is starting a fetus in the womb until the age of 2 years. At that time the so called golden age with a growing brain cells reached 80%. The remaining 20% only after 2 years of age. Therefore, mothers who gave birth to her child breastfeeding is highly recommended.
Anemia caused by iron nutrition reciprocal relationship between the adequate intake of nutrients, especially iron and protein, with worms infection. Therefore, the response to iron nutritional anemia directed the short term by providing iron supplementation tablets plus handling blood and worms.
Children are not given enough nutritious food. If the bleeding is caused by worms and causes blood shortage is not resolved, it's useless. For example, there are children who eat well off, but the weight less. To overcome this need to program providers as well as eradication of nutritious foods worms.
For the long-term nutritional anemia prevention efforts directed by improving healthy lifestyle and clean through the family norms and patterns of nutrition conscious clean and healthy lifeIn addition, in response to iron nutritional anemia.

Do you want to have a smart baby? Give breast milk since birth because babies who received breast milk has proved a higher intelligence than those who only fed on formula.
The amount of the benefits of breastfeeding for infants disclosed intelligence researchers from McGill University in Canada. The results of their research concluded that the infant U.S. drinkers showed an IQ test results better at the age of six years.
However, the researchers can not ascertain whether the high IQ is due to the influence of water or milk from breastfeeding. Research involving 14 thousand children are the latest evidence of the many reports about the positive influence of breastfeeding on intelligence.
The problems often faced by previous studies is difficult to determine whether the findings related to the fact that the mother of the elite tend to want to give milk, and various other factors related to family circumstances that affect intelligence.
However, recent research which also included the Archives of General Psychiatry is trying to take issue with the monitoring of child development from birth in some hospitals in Belarus. Several hospitals in this country recommend the mothers to breastfeed babies with breast milk.
From the research revealed that children who received exclusive breastfeeding during the first 3 months - and most also continue up to a year - recorded average 5.9 points higher in IQ tests at age 6 years.
The teachers also averaging milk recipient children have significantly higher academic ability, both in reading and writing.
"Providing long-term exclusive breastfeeding appears to improve cognitive development of children," said research leader Professor Michael Kramer.
According to the research analysis, a variety of fatty acids contained in breast milk is believed to increase intelligence. In addition, the physical and emotional aspects in the process of breastfeeding can create permanent changes in brain development of children.
The researchers also indicate feeding activity increased verbal interaction between mother and child, which in turn helps their development.
If you do not want to give birth prematurely you may have to re-think to marry a man who was much older.A study in Italy say a couple of old men much older than his wife gave birth to babies at high risk of pregnancy at 32 weeks.
Some studies claimed that babies born to fathers older have a greater risk of disability or suffering from certain diseases, while for the pregnancy tend to have a miscarriage or premature birth possible. All this has a relationship with a father who was older, like a loaded statement Dr. Paola Astolfi and colleagues from the University of Pavia in the journal Epidemiology.
To ensure the relationship with paternal age was premature birth, the researchers examined birth rate of about 1.5 in Italy with mothers aged between 20-29 years old in 1990 and 1998. The researchers deliberately chose women in this age because they think women in this age have very little risk of pregnancy complications including premature birth.
The results of this study showed that babies born to couples with older paternal age tend born before 37 weeks of age content. This fact is more often found in men older.
For example the father who was aged 45-49 years with around 20-24 years old mothers tend to be born baby at the age of content is less than 32 weeks, compared with 25-29 year-old father.
"The age difference between mother and father helped determine the disturbance during pregnancy," Astolfi explained that the report can be noted that older men have a gene mutation that is harmful, because environmental pollution, lifestyles that are more complex or other problems compared with young men.
Turned out to be a gay is not only determined by social factors, but also a biological factor. More startling statements from scientists who said the brothers more siblings you have, the possibility of becoming a bigger gay.Actually when the man's sexual orientation determined? A study conducted in Canada recently mentioned deviant sexual behavior of a man determined since they were in the womb.
Professor Anthony Bogaert of Brock University, Ontario, Canada, studied 944 heterosexual and homosexual men of their male siblings from the same mother, and brothers both non-adoption or biological half-brother.
Bogaert found homosexuality more experienced men who have male relatives from the same mother. The more brother of the man they have, the possibility of being gay or in the greater psychological terms is called fraternal birth order effect. However, these phenomena are not found in men who have half-brother or foster-brother.
"Even though a person has male siblings, and had never spent time together growing up, the possibility of being a gay stay there. And it refers to the possibility that some non-learning factors or non-environmental that affect sexual orientation," explained Bogaert.
But no means has many brothers and sisters so he automatically becomes a homosexual person. This study found an increase of sexual orientation to be gay to three percent in each of boys born to mothers who previously had had some boys. But it is not found in boys who have female siblings.
While other studies conducted to determine how pregnant women can react to the possibility that sexual orientation influences the development of the boy's life in the future.
"These results support the claim that the content affects the development of sexual orientation and fraternal birth order effect is obtained from the feminine maternal instincts when baby boy was conceived and development," as in Bogaert reports in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) edition first.
From there emerged the theory if the expectant mother's body considers male fetus is a foreign object, then the antibodies formed that will be strong along with the development of the fetus.
"If this theory is correct, then the relationship between the antibody genes from the male and the mother's sexual orientation a baby boy she is carrying will affect sexual differentiation in the child's brain and it affects the child's sexual orientation to the future," said Bogaert, who is planning to do research supporting sexual orientation relationship with the antibody genes from the male pregnant women.
These findings welcomed gays, such as comments Andy Forrest, a spokesman from Stonewall gays who claim this discovery proves being gay is not a lifestyle choice, but it was a choice that is determined since the person is still a fetus. Forrest expects this discovery could open the eyes of the public, that gays and lesbians deserve equal treatment in society.
A genetic factor is one of the factors that affect one's intelligence. If you want to have a bright child, find a wife who's smart, because the intelligence was derived from the mother's child.The basic formation of a person's intelligence is influenced by 3 things that nutrition, stimulation and genetic or hereditary. Though not affect the whole, but also many children who are born smarter than a smart parent. Genes play a role more mothers on child intelligence. If his intelligent, usually her mother, too intelligent. So if you do not need to find a husband who is very smart, but if you find a wife if I could a smart.
Actually, the relationship between the intelligence of a child with his mother can be seen naturally as a new mother giving birth. Babies can find her own nipples, it's a sign.
Babies cry when incontinence can also be a sign that kecerdaasn to do with the mother. The hormone oxytocin is released at the same time bedwetting hormones found in mother vaginal area. That's why if the female is stimulated, will emerge feeling good and happy.
Therefore, wearing pampers usually makes a child grow up to be selfish. Babies who often wear pampers, tend to have less empathy for rarely cried and the brain is not trained to feel empathy.
The brain after birth have the ability to rapidly develop. Vision is more developed than the first half of the hearing and intellectual development of someone going under the age of 4 years.
Therefore, the mother has a huge influence for the development of child intelligence. Stimulating the fetus with natural music, animals, or classical music, multiply the consumption of foods containing omega 3 and provide the appropriate stimulation when it was born to produce a bright child.
But even then, the descendants of the genetic factors can be defeated by environmental factors and nutrition. Nurture or nature can not beat the environment or biological inheritance if the brain continues to be stimulated.
There is some presumption that children born by Cesarean section will have a disruption in the learning process, or less intelligent than children who were born via normal processes. This is because although only one-time exposure to the drugs (anesthesia) in the process of cesarean can cause changes in fetal brain cells or newborn child is.Based on research results published in the journal Anesthesia, exposure to drugs (anesthesia) during a cesarean section would not increase the risk of children affected by disruption in the learning process.
These results published by Dr. Juraj Sprung, and a team from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota who claimed that exposure affected the drug just once before the 4-year-old will not increase the risk of children having problems in learning before the age of 19 years.
"But if the children are exposed to the drug repeatedly then the risk will increase," said Dr. Juraj Sprung, as quoted from Reuters.
The study involved 497 children born through cesarean section in 193 women using general anesthesia and 302 women using local anesthesia. Obtained 19.4 percent of children born from general anesthesia impaired in the learning process and 15.4 percent of children born to local anesthetic process impaired in the learning process. So, it does not mean all the children born by Cesarean section have a disruption in the learning process.
Sprung provide hypotheses possible impaired children in the learning process due to drug use during cesarean section is smaller in children born to mothers who use a local anesthetic, because the pain through the spine much more thorough. Actions performed a cesarean section is usually caused by a disturbance in the fetus or the mother that could endanger them if it is done through the normal process.
Initial handling of preterm infants are aimed at saving the lives of the unborn baby. Not that means, other organs are ignored. Well, one of the vital organs that need attention are the eyes. The risk of blindness can occur.Premature babies are prone to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) or retinal tissue abnormalities in premature babies. About 10 percent of babies born preterm had ROP.
The retina is a very vital organ of the eye tissue. Organ works capture light stimuli so that one could see. Retinal blood vessels, began to develop at 16 weeks gestation and perfectly formed 40-week time step. While the growth of blood vessels, premature infants are not perfect.
Imperfect growth that makes the emergence of abnormal blood vessels. Effects, complications of bleeding or retinal tissue damage. This is a potentially permanent blindness baby.
Premature babies most at risk are infants born at gestational age less than 32 weeks. Moreover, with low birth weight, less than 1,500 grams. Or, one of two conditions plus the high-risk clinical situation. For example, hypoxemia (blood oxygen needs are not met) and other accompanying diseases.
To prevent blindness due to ROP, need coordination between the pediatrician and ophthalmologist. Examination of the retina in premature infants can be done from the age of four weeks after birth. If the little still in the incubator, the examination can still be done.
So far, according to the doctor's glasses, many parents are late coming to the eye specialist. They just realize there are abnormalities in the baby when invited interaction. When your child brought home, the baby's family should be told to check the baby to the eye specialist immediately. Expect no more than two weeks.
Permanent blindness, could be prevented if detected early. Handling of ROP depends degrees illness. If mild, often do not need therapy, but still be strict supervision. At least every two weeks have seen the condition of retina.
In more severe ROP action laser Photocoagulation or cryotherapy in areas damaged retina. That way, most of the retina that is still healthy can be saved. However, premature infants with a history of ROP potential eye abnormalities. For example, high minus, cross-eyed, and lazy eye. But, they still have the ability to see. Compared with no treatment that ended with blindness.
Obesity in children usually occurs due to several factors such as genetic factors are descended from families who have the seeds of obesity, environmental factors, nutritional, and activities.Eight factors have been identified experts as factors that cause obesity are:
- Obesity in the elderly
- Birth weight
- At the age of 3 years, spent 8 hours a week to watch TV
- Weight gain quick to children aged 2 years
- Weight gain is rapid in the first year of age at the age of 3 years,
- Sleep less than 10.5 hours per night
- Body size at age of 8 months and 18 months
- The early development of body fat in pre-school age, the age in which body fat should not increase
Research conducted in the UK on 9000 children revealed that television is one of the eight risk factors that cause obesity have been identified.
This is caused by an imbalance between energy intake with energy output. This excess energy is finally stored in fatty tissue. Activities factors that ultimately influence.
A study shows children activity tends to decrease when the child prefer to do activities within the home rather than outside the home such as swimming, exercising, roads, etc.. Watching television is also shown to decrease the activity and energy output for the children to less walking, cycling or up and down the stairs.
For that, a change of lifestyle is very important. Lifestyle modifications that began early pregnancy since the mother, baby, until the time the children will reduce the risk of obesity later in life.
Many studies have shown that the influence of music in human life. Not just entertaining, the music can bring psychological effects for humans. The tones are strung in the music can encourage and help the healing process. Not only that, the research also revealed that music can affect the intelligence of children.Forget genetic factors or descent, because let out music since the fetus in the womb can educate children. But not all the music proved capable of doing so. Only classical music is till now known to provide stimulus to the brain intelligence since the fetus in the womb.
The best combination of sound is music, from various types of world music, classical music only the best. Research has shown that the optimal classical music composers belonged to Mozart. Mozart Music rich frequency (5000 - 8000 Hz) and almost no minor is found to increase substances in the brain that stimulates the growth of brain cells (BDNF, CREB, and synapses).
Although listening to music can make children smarter, but do not forget the role of nutrition during pregnancy. The combination of nutrients DHA and AA with Mozart's music will cause all people have the same opportunity to have a smart kid. Ordinary parents also have the opportunity to have smart kids. As long as people think it is 100% genetic factors that influence the intelligence of children. Whereas genetic / descent affects only 30% only, the remaining 70% is the role of nutrition and musical stimulation. Optimal effect is listening to classical music when the fetus in the womb, and the number of cells will not grow after that.
Pregnant women should listen to classical music from the 20th week, ie 1 hour a day at night at around 22:00 to 23:00. The first song of experts recommended a Mozart composition K265 (twinkle-twinkle little star). Although 90% activity of the fetus in the womb is sleep, the fetus will continue to learn even when sleeping.
ALL children are born with a variety of intelligences (multiple intelligence). In times of growth, environmental and educational patterns become an important factor that will highlight certain aspects of intelligence.Dr Howard Gardner, a researcher from Harvard University, has spawned a theory of multiple intelligences (multiple intelligence) is popular in the world of children's education. These seven aspects include linguistic intelligence, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. Furthermore, a number of educators has also added aspects of the naturalist intelligence and morals into it.
Of the nine aspects of intelligence, so a child can excel in one type of intelligence and intelligence is weak in others. This is reasonable considering every child born with their respective characters. It is said that every child born in the real world of multiple intelligences has been basic. Furthermore, during the growth will be seen which side is stronger or stand and what is "mediocre".
This is the task of parents to understand that if the child's potential can be developed early on. You certainly would not be surprised to see a toddler rocking as he listened to music, at least he was waving his hands or nodding his head. Or, maybe he likes hitting the lid to form a rhythm that still does not irregular.
Little things like that should not be underestimated, in case your child does have a decent musical intelligence is developed. Vitus, film directed by Fredi M Murer which tells the story of a talented boy aged 11 years who could play the piano master class pianist is an example of a decent story to watch.
Intelligence related to music, reportedly at the age of 10 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus can hear sounds from the womb, like the sound of blood flow and heart rate mother. The age of 16 weeks, the fetus can hear sounds from outside the body of his mother, but not too obvious. Continue to develop into the first semester, he could hear clearly.
That's why it is important for pregnant women to and making music since the beginning of her pregnancy.
According to J Mosel (1957), music is an art that express and evoke certain emotions through voice and sound media. Mozart's music somewhat popular and is believed to increase the intelligence of children. Mozart's music itself is divided into several types, for selected pregnant women should relax songs that can reduce tension and also stimulates the fetal brain.
As for the baby, to see if he likes it or not with a particular music, the parents could watch her face expression. If the music is played during silent baby means less chance that he liked it, but if the baby reacts directly or movement becomes more active and cheerful, it was a sign that the baby is interested in music he was hearing.
About the type of music that is played, Febi asserted that there is no limit certain types of music for children, usually have a sense of each. It all depends on the child in living up to and interpret the music itself. All kinds of music, including traditional music can also be smarter. As far as music is enjoyable and contains elements such as melody, harmony, and timbre of complex.
Meanwhile, a psychologist from The Hartt School University of Hartford, John M Feierabend PhD, suggests that individuals with high musical intelligence that considers music as a calm, feel more deeply touched when I heard rhythm, and looked at music as a beauty.
If all this research on the influence of music is often committed against children aged 5 years, Feierabend should look to apply to children under the age of 5 years as well.
"The nerves of the brain that children experience rapid growth at the age of 2 years, and music can stimulate nerve growth in the early years of their brain development," he said.
