  September 11, 2025

  Our country is so beautiful that every part of it is experiencing a different season, moreover, at the same time. But it doesn't matter for babies, they can have a rash or a rash at any time. Our baby can have a rough summer with diaper rash, sometimes caused by the heat, sometimes by clothes that do not contain cotton, and sometimes by the diapers we use.

  Preventing diaper rash is as important as solving the diaper rash problem of your baby, as well as the treatment phase. You can apply baby powders to the areas where the diaper may irritate and then cause an even more troublesome process with a rash. It is also possible to help your baby's skin breathe with clothes made of organic cotton.

  However, if you are faced with a rash problem that does not go away no matter what you do, we have great news for you that you are not insoluble.

  Sea water is a miracle.

  If your baby has a rash or rash, you take all kinds of precautions to protect it from hot weather, avoid your eyes, and blow with little breezes even at night, the cure is in the sea!

  Protect your baby from air conditioners in hot weather!

  While you want to protect your baby from the heat in July and August, when the summer heat reaches its highest values, you may be doing him a disservice unknowingly. Experts state that air conditioners should be kept at an average of 25-26 degrees, especially the dehumidification feature should be used actively. Experts, who agree that your baby will not have a rash or rash even if the temperature value is 26-27 degrees in a room that is dehumidified, warns that you can make your baby sick because of parents who say "it's too hot, I'm overwhelmed" and change the air conditioning setting according to their own body value.

  CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR BABY'S BRAIN DEVELOPMENT!

  September 11, 2025

  From the moment you find out you are pregnant, you plan day and night for her to live the best life in the world. What should he eat, what should he drink, which school should he go to, what kind of person should he marry… the questions go on and on. With the excitement of being a parent, you want the best of everything, rightfully so.

  The question "How can I support the development of intelligence, what I do will be effective in brain development" is one of the questions at the top of our list. In today's article, we will try to find answers to these questions.

  From the moment you hold your baby in your arms, the first 28 days, which we call the newborn stage, is a very important stage. What mothers eat during this period is also very important, because one of the factors affecting the development of intelligence is breast milk. (Scientists have not been able to determine exactly whether it is influenced by the richness of the content of breast milk or by the mother's pedigree.)

  Another issue is that, as parents, the baby is constantly stimulated in a calm tone of voice and spoken by looking into their eyes. Keeping in mind that the baby cannot see farther than 25-30 cm in the first 2 months, it is very important for your baby's brain development to sing calm and rhythmic songs with a close and sensual contact.

  Experts say that one of the most effective ways to develop a baby's intelligence is a book. You can start reading to him from the 4th month. Let him touch it, it's also important for him to feel the texture of the book, to begin to picture it in his mind. Pedagogues are of the opinion that the most valuable toy of the baby from the age of 4 months should be the book.

  Games that strengthen creativity and allow interaction also develop the brain, besides books, you can introduce your baby to rattles that make various sounds, toys that increase visual concentration and coordination, puzzles, and colorful and shaped toys that are completed by stacking.

  It is very important for brain development that you spend at least 2 hours a day with your baby in the first year, apart from eating, sleeping and cleaning. A one-way stimulation method such as television or computer should never be in the baby's life. This negatively affects both the development of intelligence and concentration (attention).

  Another point is that you don't fill her room with too many toys. In a distracting room, it negatively affects his concentration.

  At the end of the first year, you can make an album in which you photograph the times you spent together, once in a maximum of 6 months. By dwelling on each photo and reminding them one by one, you can help them remember these memories with pleasure and happiness.

  When you lay the first foundation solid, the things you add on it will be impossible to demolish.

  We wish you a happy life with your baby.

  IS YOUR CHILD HYPERACTIVE OR NAUGHTY?

  September 11, 2025

  The hustle and bustle of life takes up so much of our time during the day that some days it becomes almost impossible to spend quality time with our children. In the midst of this rush, we may not be able to fully observe some of our children's behaviors and we may arrive at wrong conclusions with a few observations we have made.

  In recent years, one of the most common behavioral disorders in Turkey is hyperactivity and attention deficit. It is very important to distinguish between an undisciplined child and a hyperactive child. A child with attention deficit and hyperactivity problem will reveal this problem in every environment. On the other hand, undisciplined children will react differently in different environments and will want to use the conditions in their favor.

  In children with hyperactivity and attention deficit, especially in pre-school (children between 0-5 years of age); Problems such as sleep disorder, eating or feeding problems, problems encountered in toilet training and accordingly bed wetting problems while asleep or awake, constipation, disobedience or not obeying domestic rules are frequently encountered problems.

  There are basically 3 different forms of attention deficit and hyperactivity;

  At first, they have a hard time concentrating, it can be very difficult for them to finish any job they have started, they avoid the day-to-day chores that are their responsibility. They often lose their belongings. They may forget the work to be done, they may be disorganized and disorganized in their work. They can be voracious and often switch from one job to the next. They are unplanned while studying and it is difficult for them to listen. They don't listen when the other person is talking, they can often get distracted by any stimulus, they can often make mistakes due to their carelessness.

  In the second profile, there is more restlessness, they are constantly on the move, they act beyond their age, they are in situations such as running over the furniture in the house, leaving their head frequently while doing a job, starting to deal with other things. Their hands and feet are constantly fidgeting, they like to play with something in their hands. They find it difficult to participate in the activities to be done in the group, they often receive warnings from their surroundings due to their active nature.

  The third is; there are mostly children who could not be detected before school age. It can be detected by the beginning of school, thanks to the dialogues of friends and teacher. It can be detected by subjects such as relative failure at school or frequent warnings from the teacher, inability to concentrate during the lesson, and learning difficulties.

  These symptoms can be increased even more, the approach and guidance of the family is very important for the child. If you observe these and similar behaviors in your child, we recommend that you have a psychiatric examination.

  IS YOUR CHILD'S ANOREXIA PSYCHOLOGICAL?

  September 11, 2025

  When we become parents, we need to "feed without eating, drink without drinking", and we keep moving on with questions such as "whatever he eats, he will have a more resistant body, a healthier brain and body development will occur". There is nothing extraordinary so far, of course, but as in everything else, the issue of “less decisions, more harms” is of great importance.

  We begin to impose various sanctions on our children who have no appetite, and to tell little pink lies and stories with the logic of "as long as they eat". The issue is starting to take a different turn here. Experts are of the opinion that rather than breaking your child's faith with such "things that will not happen", a complete and balanced diet should set an example for him.

  In particular, the right approach of mothers is of great importance in the development of children's belief in family and people. Issues such as being persistent, making different promises that are believed to come true after eating or not, have much deeper meanings for the child's world.

  Due to the profile of mothers who eat under pressure, their children may differ from wanting to have social contact with other people in the future, to wanting to move their relationship with food to a very unhealthy point. Issues such as being stubborn with the mother or using it as a weapon for things she wants to do negatively affect the child's personality development.

  So what to do?

  Yes, you gave birth, you suffered for 9 months, you gave life, yes, she is the apple of your eye! But in the end it's not yours, it's an individual. You can choose food, look for different tastes and visuals in food from your habits, or maybe it's just your delusion. He actually eats normally, but you say "no appetite" because he needs to eat more than you do.

  You have to accept that they also have a taste, and even that this taste may be different from yours and you have to respect it. As your behavior will be shaped when you accept this perception, the psychological causes of loss of appetite in your child will definitely be resolved. Despite these situations, if your child's loss of appetite continues, you should definitely consult a specialist.

  HOW SAFE ARE SUN CREAMS FOR YOUR CHILD?

  September 11, 2025

  Our most valuable assets are undoubtedly our children. If we pay attention to the fact that the food we choose for our child is directly proportional to his health, we should show the same sensitivity in all kinds of products we choose, investigate all the details, and pay attention to whether there are any side effects. As it is known, summer has come and we have entered the period when the sun's rays have the highest effect. We have to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of the sun and decide what is best for our child.

  A topic that has been debated for a long time: Should kids use sunscreen or not?

  It is possible to collect sunscreens with various contents under two headings. Provide physical and chemical protection.

  Providers of physical protection:

  Those that provide physical protection are sunscreens offered to consumers under the name of mineral. These protectors, which are absorbed by the skin when applied, form a layer on the skin like a white veil, and this layer reflects the sun's rays back like a mirror. She can't go beyond pretending to be wearing a white t-shirt.

  Chemical protection:

  In fact, all kinds of preservatives contain extremely complex chemicals, which change when they meet the sun and are absorbed by the skin. So it has more disadvantages than benefits.

  Experts state that they have serious findings on the negative effects of sunscreens, which have a low chemical structure and low mineral content, on the sexual development of children. They point out that sunscreens that have the effect of estrogen hormone can be absorbed by the skin and disrupt the body balance, which can cause early puberty.

  Ways to protect your child from the sun:

  Do not take your child out between 11 and 16 hours when the sun is most effective. If you must, opt for shadows.

  When you go out, wear a hat that will shade your neck, neck and face.

  Wear UV-filtered swimsuits when entering the sea or pool.

  Choose organic / ecological certified products.

  Avoid products containing parapen.

  When going out, wear thin, cotton and light-colored clothing that will not expose your body.

  If you have to use sunscreen with chemical content, choose the ones with low factor, because the higher the number of factors, the higher the chemical density.

  Make sure that the preservatives you prefer are not dust and spray.

  A STORY OF ADDICTION: PACIFIER USE

  September 11, 2025

  Every human baby is born with a sucking reflex. In addition to the mother's breast, she sucks her finger and even her fist-shaped hand. Babies' natural urge to suck has a relaxing and calming effect for them other than feeding.

  Stating that breastfeeding meets the need for confidence in babies, experts state that care should be taken in the use of pacifiers. Pediatricians do not have a clear opinion on the use of pacifiers, there are pros and cons. The use of pacifiers is entirely your decision. A pacifier started early may prevent the baby from sucking breast milk. In addition, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is a fact that the pacifier given during sleep prevents Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Breastfeeding is different from sucking a pacifier or bottle. If a pacifier is given in the first weeks of his birth, he may have trouble sucking on his mother's breast. Experts recommend not giving a pacifier until your milk is at a sufficient level and you have a good grasp of the sucking.

  When can you start breastfeeding?:

  If your baby is whining between two feedings, even though he is full, and you feel that he wants to suck, you can start using a pacifier. This will relax him and satisfy his need for sucking.

  Choosing the Right Pacifier:

  Choosing the right pacifier is an important issue. Research shows that the best pacifier is flat, thin, long, and soft enough to bend and twist. When you start to suck the pacifier, the wide surface that comes into contact with the oral cavity when you take it reduces the pressure on the palate to a minimum. Thus, you can reduce the side effects of long-term use.

  How can you save your baby from being a pacifier addiction?:

  One of the most disturbing issues for mothers is that the pacifier turns into an addiction. It is possible to prevent this with some applications.

  Do not give a pacifier every time she cries, so you create an environment to withstand her problems without a pacifier.

  From the first months, you can reduce the use of pacifiers and prevent them from becoming addicted.

  You can make some changes and deformities on the pacifier, so you can prevent the baby from enjoying sucking as much as before.

  Shorten the pacifier use time as much as possible. During that time, direct his attention to other things he enjoys (he can sing and give a food he likes)

  Regular sleep and regular feeding will reduce the need for pacifiers.

  HOW SHOULD YOUR CHILD BE FED IN SUMMER?

  September 11, 2025

  Nutrition is very important in childhood, which is the age of growth and development. In this period, if the nutrition according to the seasons is healthy, sufficient and balanced, it will allow the children's bodies to be more robust and durable in the following years.

  What to Pay Attention to:

  Adequate water consumption is one of the most important aspects of nutrition in summer months. You should make sure that your child is getting enough fluids throughout the day. Children older than 5-6 years should consume an average of 8-12 glasses of water per day.

  When the weather is hot, you may see a loss of appetite in your child. In such cases, you should eat little and often, and you can always increase the amount of food you eat a little more in order not to lose weight during periods of appetite.

  Care should be taken to have foods rich in vitamins, minerals and calcium at a sufficient level in order for them to continue their development and growth period in a healthy way. In order not to cause anemia caused by iron deficiency, care should be taken to consume red meat, eggs, iron-rich cereals, dark green leafy vegetables and dried fruits.

  Breakfast is a very important meal for children as well as adults. With cheerful summer breakfasts containing various minerals, vitamins and iron, you can endear this most important meal of the day and gain this habit.

  You can offer children's favorite snacks as snacks on long summer days. They will enjoy the small sandwiches you will prepare with fibrous breads, small cheese slices, preferably homemade yoghurt, fun fruit salads prepared from fresh fruits, fruit juices and ice creams that you believe are prepared with attention to health conditions.

  Based on the fact that healthy eating habits are acquired at a very young age, being a role model for them is among the duties of parents. The positive effect of your regular and controlled nutrition on your child cannot be ignored.

  In the menu of summer evenings, you can add meat (fish, chicken or grilled red meat) for your child to be steamed or baked, as well as offer a healthy list of rice or pasta, salad, homemade yogurt and milk dessert.

  HOW DO YOU PREVENT YOUR CHILD'S FEAR?

  July 10, 2025

  Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety and fear at some point in their life. Although these feelings are worrisome in adults, they are necessary and important for the healthy development of children. It helps them to take a firm stance against unexpected events or situations that they may encounter in the future. It also pushes the child to be cautious during the times of his/her life. For example, a child who is afraid of heights avoids dangerous and high places.

  Infancy and Childhood Fears:

  Fears are different for every age. For example, 0-15 month old babies may have fear of being separated from their parents and their fear of strangers at the beginning of their fears, while the fears of 3-6 year old children are imaginary monsters, ghosts that they think exist in the house, darkness, thunder etc. such as fears.

  Experts state that the correct approach of families against behavioral changes that may be caused by fears in children will be effective in overcoming fears. Experts, who say that families have great responsibilities in overcoming fears, draw attention to the fact that the problem can get worse when the discipline applied to the child is inconsistent. For example, a mother who creates the perception of a threat to her child who misbehaves, saying that if you do not behave, I will give you to the beggars on the street, unwittingly causes new fears to sprout.

  Take Care of Your Child's Fears:

  Taking your child's fears or fears seriously, caring about them, not making fun of them will create self-confidence and will cause them to overcome their fears as they grow up. Otherwise, the child who feels that he is not taken seriously by his family will worry about humiliation and humiliation, and he will not be able to express himself, allowing the problem to grow and not getting support.

  How to Approach Your Child with Fears:

  • Provide your child with a stable environment of trust within the family.

  • Respect your child and his or her fear.

  • Remember that children can overcome their own fears by fighting their own fears, unless there are extraordinary circumstances, but encourage them by emphasizing often that you are there for them.

  • Whatever your child's fear is, deal with it together. For example, if he is afraid of the dark, leave the light on while he is sleeping, or if he thinks there is a ghost in the house, go around the house together by holding his hand and show that nothing is wrong.

  • Never use intimidation as a discipline tool, because fear has a higher sanction power than even beating. For example, saying that if you don't finish your meal, I will give you an injection, it will make situations where injections are necessary very difficult.

  IS YOUR HOME SAFE FOR YOUR BABY OR A MINE FIELD?

  July 10, 2025

  Babies move quickly after they start to crawl. It is now easier for them to reach the things they are curious about, to touch them, to try to get to know them by putting them in their mouth. This movement brings with it many dangers. Since their balance is not fully developed, many objects around them are in a position to pose a threat. It is necessary to arrange the design of the houses with high accident potential, together with the inclusion of the baby in your life.

  The baby's living space must be made safe by the parents. As his interests change from infancy to childhood, he expands in areas around him that may be threatening.

  Risky Areas in Your Home That Could Be a Minesweeper:

  Doors: Arrange all the room and closet doors in the house to prevent slamming. Especially the kitchen door should be the place to be observed the most.

  Electrical Mechanism: If the sockets in the house are open models, replace them with the ones with cover, make sure that the electrical switches are also safe.

  Playground: Support your baby's playground with soft surfaces such as pillows that will not harm your baby when he loses his balance and falls, by clearing it of objects that may pose a danger. Also, it should not be in a position to spy on it when you are in the kitchen or other room.

  Windows: You should prevent items such as coffee tables and armchairs from climbing out by keeping them away from windows.

  Cooker: Make sure your stove is not near doors and windows. Make sure it is under your supervision. Build a safety barrier in front of the stove.

  Floors: If the floor surfaces are not wet, it prevents it from slipping.

  Medicines: Keep your medicine cabinet in your home out of his reach.

  Floor: You should be careful that the floor is not slippery.

  Door Sills: Interior door thresholds must be in a way to prevent tripping and falling.

  Handrails: If there is a staircase in the house, there must be a handrail and the width between the railings should not exceed 80-90 mm.

  Water Storage: If there is a water tank or similar storage in your home, you should be very careful that the mouths are closed.

  Workshop and or Garden: Make sure that it is in a position that will not pose a danger when it reaches these places.

  Furniture with Pointed Corners: Secure pointy furniture with soft coaters such as sponge.

  Chemicals: Keep toxic substances such as household detergents and bleach in their original boxes and in cabinets out of reach.

  As the things to be considered may vary according to each house, as parents, you should be vigilant and be careful against accidents that may occur at home frequently.
