• AS the NURSED
breastfeeding is important for the physical development of the child. And it often starts with some difficulty. For this reason new mothers must have patience before you find the right rhythm. "Thanks to the antimicrobial properties, the milk protects from respiratory infections, reduces the incidence and duration of gastro enteritis, as well as the risk of allergies. It is a valuable food for healthy babies and even more so for those premature,” says Lydia Zanotta , coordinator, nursing to the nest, the Policlinico of Milan–Clinica Mangiagalli. But how to breastfeed in the most correct way? “In a convenient location – hotel details Zanotta - using a footrest to relax more at the legs and the cushion to better support the baby. The position of the small is important to ensure that the ear shoulder and hip are aligned during feeding in order to facilitate swallowing”.

These substances remove the natural protection of the skin making it more delicate, and alter the smell of the mother that attracts the newborn to the breast. Is sufficient for normal cleaning of the person with soap and water preferably not perfumed. And in cases where it is not possible or practicable direct breastfeeding at the breast, we will see in the video how to extract milk and how to store it in the proper way.


• COLIC, AS THE CALM
The gas colic are one of the sources of the most concern of the parents especially if their first experience: “Although annoying for the child continues, Zanotta - the parents need to be reassured on the fact that the framework is the norm, that does not require any therapy, and decreasing progressively over the first 3-5 months of life”. It is not so difficult to recognize them: “The baby becomes red in the face, weeps, flexes and extends the legs, squirms and contracts, in an attempt to find relief, and the belly appears bloated”. In cases such as these, the infant massage – in dedicated video we will see how it does - is a useful strategy because it favors the emission of air.
