  CALCIUM NEED OF NURSING MOTHERS

  June 30, 2025

  One of the basic needs of breastfeeding mothers is undoubtedly calcium. The mother needs to take 1000mg of calcium daily, which is needed by both the mother's health and the baby fed with her mother's milk.

  It should not be forgotten that calcium deficiency for a long time leads to dissolution in the unchanged parts of the bones. The fact that the mother has to share the calcium she takes with her baby is a clear indicator of the importance that the mother will give to calcium. Osteoporosis, which is generally encountered by mothers who give birth frequently and who have to be malnourished, is caused by calcium deficiency.

  Considering that a nursing mother produces 8-10 tea glasses of milk in a day, it will be self-evident how well the mother should be fed. The lactating mother needs many nutrients, especially protein, vitamins and minerals, while the need for fluids should not be forgotten. Keeping away from them, that is, malnutrition, means that her health is weakened by weakening, as well as a decrease in milk quality and quantity.

  On the other hand, excessive nutrition of the mother may result in increasing the excess weight gained during pregnancy. The increase in milk quality is possible with the mother's intake of dairy products such as cheese rich in calcium and protein. Thus, magic touches are made on the growth and development process of the baby.

  As in every period of women, it is necessary to pay attention to meeting the calcium need during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In order to protect the calcium stores, feeding the breastfeeding mother with 1 serving of milk, buttermilk, and tzatziki yogurt every day, with a focus on foods such as yoghurt, will also reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

  Although the goal during breastfeeding is perceived as if the baby's development is balanced and sufficient through breast milk alone, nutritional stores that can meet the vitamin, mineral and other nutritional needs of the breastfeeding mother should be preserved. The issue that needs to be taken into consideration is that the mother is well fed and the quality of milk production as a result of this nutrition is met from the mother's warehouses.

  MY CHILDREN ARE IN CONTINUOUS CONFLICT

  June 30, 2025

  The first people that children see from the moment they are born are the members of their families. Therefore, the first place they socialize is within the family. In the relationship established with the parents, while the child's sense of trust develops, his sense of self continues to develop. In his relationship with his sibling or siblings, his social skills develop. In this article, we will try to convey the recommendations of experts so that the conflicts between children, which is a common problem in families with two or more children, are not destructive.

  If we need to look at what the duties of the parents are in preventing the bickering of siblings from turning into jealousy and destructiveness;

  It is very important that the older of your children feel safe. Express often how much you love him and how much you will love his brother as well.

  Give your older child time to accept that he has a sibling.

  He should tolerate the feeling of jealousy and allow him to express his feelings.

  When they have a fight over a toy or an item, when they get in the way and calm down, calmly explain that you can return the toys you bought.

  One of the biggest mistakes that can cause tension between your children is to warn your older child, such as "but you are a sister or a brother" or "you are younger, listen to your sister", which will oppress each other or be superior.

  It is not always the right approach to intervene in children's conflicts. Let them solve their own problems once in a while, but not always.

  Focusing on the things that your children agree on instead of focusing on the issues they conflict with will make the conflict between them insignificant.

  In the fight between children, it is necessary not to engage in a just-unjust dialogue, because both are your children and when you find one of them right, the other will be the one who gets upset.

  By interfering with the situation in a fight they had outside of the house during a favorite activity or outing, stating that what you decided to do will not continue as long as they continue the fight, start waiting where you are and wait for their reaction.

  Never make comparisons between children, you have fueled jealousy and rivalry.

  DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE CONCENTRATION PROBLEMS?

  June 30, 2025

  Children pay close attention to things that interest them, and you may have seen that many children are insensitive to other subjects that do not interest them. So how do we get them to pay attention and be in a state of concentration; Come on, let's see what can be done about it, what the experts suggest.

  According to experts, who state that they should be kept away from them until at least two years old in order to prevent their interest in smart digital devices such as computers and tablets, the sooner your child gets acquainted with these devices, the better. In fact, the news that the children of the families that own the technology giants are educated with the old-style education, that they could not have a mobile phone or a computer until puberty, and that they were educated with blackboards and chalk in schools, caught your eye. This issue is not only about the problem of concentration, but they saw it as a decision made by considering many aspects of their childhood, including living like a child.

  If we go back to our topic, help your child with concentration problems to have a healthy mood by making him feel accepted, loved and respected. Do not put obstacles in front of him when he is dealing with something at home. For example, while playing with a glass cup, don't make negative comments about everything you do by saying, "My daughter is that toy or why are you playing?" Let him develop the urge to explore within him, the pressures that turn into anger can cause negative accumulation in him. Let it flow safely without blocking its path.

  Your child's living space should be tidy, items suitable for his height, ready-to-play puzzles should be at hand and encouraging him to play, so that he develops and facilitates his focus by placing order in his perception.

  When your child is interested in something, trying to do his job, watch silently and notice how focused he is. Do not interfere by allowing him to make mistakes. By making him realize his own mistake, you will help him focus more.

  It should not be forgotten that your approach is a big part of your child's behavior from motivation to focus.

  WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD'S BREAKFAST INCLUDE?

  June 30, 2025

  Especially mothers who have children who go to school know. Mothers, who are in a hurry for breakfast in the morning while preparing to go to school, have a struggle with their children. In this article, which we wrote in order to create healthy menus for the mornings where the hectic conflicts of the mothers who do not want to be fed and the children who do not want to eat have become routine, we will examine what breakfast foods are that will contribute to the development of the child.

  We all know that breakfast is the healthiest meal of the day. In particular, the reason why children who go to school avoid breakfast, which is the first meal of the day, in order to start the day fit and be efficient in understanding, perception and remembering, may be due to the fact that they see bears on their breakfast plates every day.

  Greens such as tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, cress, arugula, and dried and fresh fruits should enrich breakfast tables, because such foods are a source of vitamins and minerals.

  Apart from vitamins and minerals, it is important to choose 1-2 slices of grain bread from the ones he likes with walnuts, hazelnuts, olives or tahini in order to increase the nutritional value. It will be healthier to avoid genetically modified corn when making cereal choices, and to prefer oats, which are high in fiber, instead. Adding foods such as walnuts, hazelnuts, dried apricots to the cereals, which are among the short-time breakfast items, and having freshly squeezed fruit juice with it, will both please him and give you peace of mind because of his healthy diet. Another method that will attract him to the breakfast table in the mornings would be to drink soup instead of routine breakfast items. In general, all children love soup. A nutritious soup with rich ingredients is an alternative to breakfast.

  We all know the effects of fatty acids of oilseeds on brain development. For this reason, you can add foods such as walnuts and hazelnuts, which deserve to be included in the breakfast menu, into the pastries that your child will love.

  Since eggs, cheese and milk are an indispensable source of protein, they should be at the head of breakfast. With fun presentations, they can be put into forms that children can't say no to.

  Choose your child's breakfast drinks from milk or freshly squeezed fruit juices. Drinking tea is in the group of those who are not healthy for children.

  You can make children consume honey and molasses, which are sufficient resources to meet their daily energy needs, by making them attractive with different presentations.

  DO NOT FEED YOUR BABY WITH THE SPOON YOU USE!

  June 30, 2025

  You may have seen that, unfortunately, some mothers, in order to taste the food or food they feed their babies, first taste it themselves and then feed their babies with the same spoon.

  According to baby health experts, it is stated that bacteria in the mother's mouth are transferred to the baby by tasting the formula with his spoon before feeding it and then feeding it to the baby with the same spoon. Emphasizing the importance of this issue, experts also warn that prospective parents should pay attention to their dental health and have regular dental check-ups while planning to have a baby.

  When babies are born, the inside of their mouths are completely sterile. The baby's mouth is in a structure that will not allow any environment to produce caries or bacteria. However, it can be endangered by external stimuli. Bacteria can be transferred to the baby over time by kissing or making close contact with the mouth, using the same cutlery as the baby, tasting the food with his spoon while feeding the baby.

  It is necessary to pay attention to the oral and dental health of babies and children. Regular check-ups will minimize possible caries and gum disease in the future. In fact, in order to prevent the transfer of bacteria to the baby, first of all, the parents and the close environment of the baby should give equal importance to the dental health.

  Going back even further, it is essential for premarital couples to regulate their oral and dental health and even to solve the problem of gingivitis, if any.

  Speaking of feeding food, we would like to make a note on a different issue; Since the food that comes into contact with the baby's mouth spoils in half an hour, the rest should not be fed. Non-contact food can stay intact for 4-6 hours.

  Also, never try to feed your baby more than he wants, and then end the feeding as a meal by holding him upright and letting your baby burp.

  HOW TO DO SKIN CARE FOR WINTER BABIES?

  May 21, 2025

  Babies' skin is very different from adults' skin. It is thin, delicate, fragile and permeable. During its development, its skin also undergoes changes and moves away from these features.

  It is necessary to pay more attention to the care of babies with sensitive skin in the winter months. It is possible to resist the harmful effects of cold weather with preventive measures and regular skin care. Babies, who are very quickly affected by adverse environmental conditions, may be exposed to excessively dry skin with reduced sweating in winter and irritation caused by cold on the skin. With this dryness, the baby's skin takes on a fine cracked and dandruff appearance.

  If your baby has atopic skin structure, you may have to face exaggerated results. Although it may seem like a minor skin condition at first, it can turn into a severe itching over time.

  While taking care not to use drying and irritating soaps while taking a bath, solvents should be avoided at the top of the care list for baby skin during the winter months. During the bath, it will be sufficient to rinse it with a mild soap made for babies and soap it only once. Since the scalps of babies are not oily and dirty like adults, washing them every 3-4 days will clean the baby's skin without forcing it.

  The most important issue for the baby's skin is that the skin does not lose its moisture. It is necessary to restore the moisture of the dry skin of the baby. Thus, while the water lost by the skin is replaced, it is ensured that its natural moisture is preserved. In addition, using lotions to moisturize the body after bathing on the days to take a bath is one of the factors that support the return of dry skin to normal. You can also benefit from various natural plant oils that help moisturize the baby's skin. You can get help from your doctor about choosing which essential oil for her sensitive skin.

  One of the ways to protect baby's skin is to use the right diaper. It should not be forgotten that poor quality diapers will cause irritation on the baby's skin.

  5 IMPORTANT BEHAVIORS FROM PARENTS

  May 21, 2025

  It is known that children cheat from their parents. From this point of view, the need to be a role model for children should also be among the practices of parents.

  We said that parents should be sensitive about the behaviors that children will witness and be a good model. Your behavior towards each other as parents is decisive in preparing him for life, forming his character and determining his behavior patterns.

  So what are the 5 behaviors that will set an example for them? Let's see together

  Be kind to each other: You may have observed that couples who have a peaceful and happy relationship reflect this on their children. As spouses, it is very important to be kind to one another in front of your children. Even when arguing, not using hurtful and insulting sentences will be within the scope of the rules that will settle in your subconscious even if your child is not aware of it. There's no harm in arguing in front of the child as long as you remain polite during a disagreement. After all, it's normal for people to defend different opinions and it's in life. This is necessary for his preparation for life. The important thing is to come to a conclusion with courtesy in front of him.

  Support each other: When you make helping each other a way of life, your child will be sharing in his future life. Share your family responsibilities equally. If one of the spouses is hardworking and the other is passive, it will mean that your child will grow up with the same culture.

  Hug and kiss each other often: Seeing that you love each other creates a model for the child to live in the future. Do not hesitate to kiss, which is one of the signs of love. Express your love with your body language so that you have raised a caring, loving and calm child.

  You have to be clean: you have to practice it yourself, not tell it to expect children to be clean. The point is, instead of telling your child to wash their hands before eating, it is much more effective if you say "I'm going to wash my hands now I'm going to eat". Let him see you do it too. Remember that it would be an empty wait to expect him to do it before you do. Cleaning rules aren't just for kids.

  Share the successes of family members: No matter who it belongs to in the family, you should share it, big or small. Sharing successes creates a positive atmosphere at home, gives happiness and increases motivation.
