Disease

 

As I child was I very blessed and had everything I even wanted and I didn’t have any stressors as a child. But I do know I lot of children who had cancer, diabetes or HIV/Aids and even has asthma bad. Each one of these children had to go to the doctor on a regular basic some even go more than the other. They had to take shot or the nurse go to the school and give it them to. They are sick a lot. The child with asthma bad couldn’t go outside and when the weather changes they had to stay in the house or has their inhaler with them. The  child with cancer and HIV/Aids they had to watch what they eat and where they go and even had to wear a mask when they on germ or when they has a cold and others. The resources they use were they the directed the doctor gave them to follow. The books from dialysis places and the books from the doctor they give you talking about asthma and have to deal with it. The books the doctor give you about getting tested and get tested regular and how to deal and talk to a child that has HIV/Aids.   

The country I want learn about is Africa. This country has a lot of different stressors. This country has lot stressors that have a lot to do with the impact the development of child/children.  The different stressors that are in this country are poverty, Land Resource Stresses and Desertification, hunger, violence,  disease, water shortage, rape, pregnancy,  In this country there are resources that are trying to help reduce these resources. There are doctors who volunteer to go over there to get free shot and medicine to the ones who have diseases. There are pastor who go there and pray and give money to them. There are some people who send money from over the phone and there are also people who adopted some children and send those different items every month and others. There are some grocery stores that send food over there to help feed the people who are hunger. There are the different things that are being done to help reduce these stressors in this country.

I chose Breastfeeding because it so important to the child birth. It meaningful to me because breastfeeding is one way for the mother and child to bond in a special way. It also meaningful to me   because your child is getting good nutrient and getting health vitamin from the breast of the mom. It also meaningful to me because your child has a better chance of being a smart child. It’s also meaningful to me so many because there are so many things in the milk now that has the child sick or in the hospital. It also meaningful to me in so many way like  the wic place don’t give the mother enough milk for the child and the mom has to go and buy it, your child food is always with you, the mom don’t have to get up and fix nothing because it’s right there in front of them and etc. In other country breastfeeding is the only way the infant child.

According to the UNICEF in Africa is says that infant formula is not equivalent to breastmilk; it does not contain all the essential nutrients or antibodies to protect children from diarrhea, pneumonia or malnutrition – some of the top causes of death among children under age 5. And child deaths remain a critical problem in South Africa, which currently lags behind the Millennium Development Goal on reducing child mortality.

UNICEF supports exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life. Breastfeeding provides all the nutrients infants need to grow and strengthens their immune systems as well. It also offer a range of benefits to mothers, such as facilitating bonding and reducing risk of post-partum haemorrhage.

This information has impact my learning in a good way. The first way it has impact because I have clear understanding on why I mother would breastfeed instead of doing the formula. The second way it impact my learning because breastfeeding has their good ways and bad ways to breastfeeding.

 

 

 Childbirth Around the world

According to childbirth in China the mom and the baby has to stay in the house for 30 day and that is called confinement period. In Chinese, this is  also called  "sitting the month," as new mothers are pretty much expected to just sit around in getting to know their baby and spoiling him/her or having mother and son time but in Chinese  there are a lot of rules, and some mother real struggle with that .  According to the rules the first thing is that you can't wash. The second thing is that the food is so bland. But you really have to persist, and mom’s said it’s very difficult.

The mom are not allowed to eat raw fruit or vegetables, or drink coffee, cold drinks or even cold water, which can only be drunk tepid or hot. These rules are aimed at restoring balance to the new mother's body after childbirth. Also according to the rules the mom feet, are boiling, as she plods around in thick woolen socks and padded slippers. But she must guard against getting a chill; Chinese doctors warn that could lead to joint problems or illness later. The center where the mom has the 30 day confinement at provides luxury accommodation and 24-hour nursing staff to new mothers who participate in the Chinese tradition of "sitting the month," where they don't go outside or bathe for 30 days.

 

I can remember my little son childbirth. My son was to be born in the late part of October and his mom had a check on October 6 2008 and they told her she was going to have my son on the October 7 2008 so went had to be at the hospital at 6:30 on the 7 of October. My girlfriend was in labor all day on the 7 and he still didn’t come so on the October 8 she had to have an C-section and my son had to stay in the hospital for 5 extra day after his mom was release because his red blood cell count was higher than the white blood cell count. I chose this example because my girlfriend was pregnancy and didn’t know until she was about 6 month pregnancy and she was doing these like a normal person. I also chose this because women need to have regular checkup and now my son just turn 7 and he is an ADHA child and I love him so much.
