As clinicians we can get hyper focused on pathophysiology and with good reason, we're here to heal. But after more than a decade in this field I find what most parents are interested in is learning how to manage daily behaviors.  How to raise happy and mentally healthy children.  So I take from the pearls of Erickson’s psychosocial development and work it into my anticipatory guidance. Stay tuned. ¡Vamos! Let’s go! For social and emotional development in your child, it’s important to start with a sense of trust.  Para el desarrollo social y emocional en tu niño es importante empezar con un sentido de confianza.  With a sense of trust, they develop a feeling of safety and security in the world. Con confianza agarran el sentido de seguridad en el mundo. When your baby uses crying to communicate his/her needs, you can build trust by simply responding to your baby. Cuando el bebé se comunica a medio de llantos, le puedes dar confianza simplemente atendiendo al bebe.  Lack of trust can lead to a fearful, anxious child with difficulty forming healthy relationships. Con la falta de confianza el niño puede desarrollar a ser miedoso, ansioso, y tener dificultad en desarrollar relaciones saludables.    CLICK HERE for the Extended Lesson: Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER) Click HERE to learn more about the program

Your newborns mother is on the fence about breastfeeding, don’t let this baby miss out on all the amazing benefits, get comfortable counseling the mother. Stay tuned to find out how. Bienvenidos!  ¡Vamos! Let’s go! Primero, escuchamos la conversación: First, let’s listen to the conversation: No me sale mucha leche, empecé a dar un poco de formula. Se oye como que tu preocupación es no poder alimentar a tu bebe. Si es cierto. Es natural tener esa preocupación. Lo bueno, que es normal no tener mucha leche al principio, pero hay maneras de aumentar la leche si quisieras.  O si? Por supuesto. Los primeros días la leche es calostro, no tiene mucha cantidad pero está muy denso en nutrición, lleno de proteína y nutrientes.   Y como hago para tener más? Lo más importante es poner el bebe al pecho de perdido ocho a diez veces al día. Si no es posible entonces usar la pompa.  También uno puede usar la pomba después de tener el bebé pegado y reemplazar el bebé con la leche pompeada en vez de la fórmula.  Y por qué tantas veces? La estimulación del pezón manda el mensaje al cerebro, dejándole saber que hay necesidad para hacer más leche.  Y ¿sí vale la pena? De veras que sí. Tu leche le está prestando ayuda de tu sistema inmune. Es decir que se va a enfermar con menos frecuencia y cuando se enferma se va a recuperar más fácilmente.  ¡Eso se oye bien! Los beneficios no solo son para ahora pero también reducen su riesgo de obesidad, asma, y diabetes tipo uno.  ¡Muy bien! No es todo, en tí, la mamá, reduce el riesgo de diabetes tipo dos, presión alta, y cáncer del pecho y de los ovarios! ¡Híjole!

Your newborn parents are concerned about the bulge in the belly button, they heard hernias were dangerous, how will you explain the umbilical hernia and reassure them?  ¡Bienvenidos! ¡Vamos! Let’s go! Mi niña tiene el ombligo salido, yo creo que fue porque no le pusimos cinta.  No se preocupen es una hernia del ombligo. Es parte del intestino saliendo por una abertura de los músculos abdominales. Muy común en los recién nacidos.  Lo importante es que reduce con presión y que tampoco es demasiado grande.  ¿Va ocupar cirugía? No. La mayoría no ocupan cirugía.  Si no se compone para los cinco años de edad, entonces la voy a referir al cirujano. ¿Va a ocupar algún tratamiento? ¿Le pongo cinta? Ningún tratamiento es necesario. Mientras se desarrollan los músculos abdominales traen la hernia adentro, y naturalmente se soluciona el problema. La cinta no lo hubiera prevenido, y tampoco cambiará el paso.  Y ¿cuándo me tengo que preocupar?  Si, se pone demasiado grande, doloroso, cambia de color, o si lo presiona y no reduce.   Now let’s listen with translation: Mi niña tiene el ombligo salido, yo creo que fue porque no le pusimos cinta.  My daughter’s belly button is sticking out, I think because we didn’t tie it. No se preocupen es una hernia del ombligo. Es parte del intestino saliendo por una abertura de los músculos abdominales. Muy común en los recién nacidos.  Lo importante es que reduce con presión y que tampoco es demasiado grande.  No worries, this is an umbilical hernia. It occurs when a part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal muscles. It’s very common in newborns. What’s important is that it reduces with pressure and also that it is not too big.  ¿Va ocupar cirugia? Is she going to need surgery? No. La mayoría no ocupan cirugía.  Si no se compone para los cinco años de edad, entonces la voy a referir al cirujano. No. The majority do not need surgery. If it hasn't been resolved by five years of life, I will refer her to surgery. ¿Va a ocupar algún tratamiento? ¿Le ponga cinta? Does she need some kind of treatment? Should I tie it? Ningún tratamiento es necesario. Mientras se desarrollan los músculos abdominales traen la hernia adentro, y naturalmente se soluciona el problema. La cinta no lo hubiera prevenido, y tampoco cambiará el paso.  No treatment is necessary at this stage. As the abdominal muscles get stronger they will bring the hernia in, resolving the problem naturally. Tying it would not have prevented it, and it also won’t make any difference to use it now. Y ¿cuándo me tengo que preocupar? When do I have to worry? Si, se pone demasiado grande, doloroso, cambia de color, o si lo presiona y no reduce.  If it gets too big, painful, changes in color or if you apply pressure and it doesn’t reduce.
