There is no greater feeling a new mother can have than a smiling baby. Every new mother struggles with making their babies happy, because they cannot speak just yet. The first form of communication they have is crying, but parent are not able to always able to figure out what the baby wants at first. When I read “The Happiest Baby on the Block” by Harvey Karp I was very intrigued. The step to making your baby happy was not only helpful, but simple as well. This book takes a psychological approach because it is so similar to the Erickson’s Trust vs. mistrust stage. I will begin by introducing the books theory, and then I will explain why it relates to Erickson’s trust vs. mistrust stage.

* Babies and young children are vulnerable and very dependent on their parents and carers. Therefore as well as provide and children’s learning and development it is also essential that we support the physical care, keep them safe and meet their nutritional needs.

Defining premature birth is much more than just a denotative phrase. It is not just a preterm birth, or a baby born early. It is a life-changing event, and something that affects millions of people worldwide. The intense quiet room with heart monitors beeping, as parents see their baby and are devastated. Loved ones can not feed them or kiss them nor, can they not hold them or hug them. They do not get the same experience as others. Little miracles lay inside these cubes where multiple wires are help keeping them alive. A place where prayers happen, and where all hope for the best. Nobody knows the true pain and struggle behind a preterm birth and it needs to be discussed. Prematurity is a serious conflict; therefore, it needs more awareness as many families are facing this tough situation.

Premature babies sometimes have apnea. It may happen together with a slow heart rate. Respiratory distress syndrome or RDS is a breathing problem most common in babies born before 34 weeks of pregnancy.” Babies with RDS don’t have a protein called surfactant that keeps small air sacs in the lungs from collapsing. “Intraventricular hemorrhage or IVH is bleeding in the brain. It usually happens near the ventricles in the center of the brain. A ventricles is a space in the brain that’s filled with fluid. Patent ductus ateriosus or PDA is a heart problem that happens in the connection between two major blood vessels near the heart. If the ductus do not close properly after birth, a baby can have breathing problems or heart failure. Heart failure is when enough blood can’t get pumped into the heart causing it to shut down. Necrotizing enter colitis (NEC) is a problem with a baby’s intestines. It causes feeding problems, a swollen belly and diarrhea. It sometimes happens 2 to 3 weeks after a premature bay has been born. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an abnormal growth of blood vessels in the eye. ROP can lead to vision loss. Jaundice is when a baby's eyes and skin look yellow. A baby has jaundice when his liver isn't fully developed or isn't working well. Anemia is when a baby doesn’t have enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen to the rest of the body. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a lung condition that can develop in premature babies as well as babies who have treatment with a breathing machine. Babies with BPD sometimes develop fluid in the lungs, scarring and lung damage. Premature babies often have trouble fighting off germs because their immune systems are not fully formed. Infections that may affect a premature baby include pneumonia, a lung infection; sepsis, a blood infection; and meningitis, an infection in the fluid around the brain and

The subject in this paper is a mother of two who did not breastfeed her first child.

The idea that the doctor becomes responsible for the error of care of this infant is interesting to me. It would be apparent if an order had been written to d/c the monitors that it would lay on the shoulders of the doctor who wrote that error. However, in this case, it seems pure unethical nursing errors were made in regards to this infants safety.

Within this assignment a scenario has been chosen to discuss the elements of clinical decision making made by nurses. To justify the decisions which have been made, a critical appraisal of the available information will be utilized. The scenario focuses upon Joe (See Appendix), an infant who was born prematurely at twenty-eight weeks gestation and is diagnosed with short gut syndrome and is close to being discharged. There many needs within the scenario which have been identified, such as medication training for parents, Joe 's physiological development, travel issues but this assignment will concentrate on managing an ileostomy, discharging Joe on Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) and social support for the home environment. The aim of the nurses clinical decisions will be to prevent infection, skin breakdown and re-admission, therefore

In order to increase trust, I believe that adults must develop a secure attachment with the infant. To develop a secure attachment, adults should know that sensitive care and physical comfort are essential in order for the child to learn trust. Some ways an adult can provide physical comfort and sensitive care is by responding to their cries and other communications. Showing love and affection to an infant is an important factor to build attachment and to make a child feel safe. In addition, both mother and father should

In the case of the CNM who delivered a 35 week breeched infant, several factors need

Infants and caregivers have a very special bond, it’s created through communication and understanding. Infants are very young and therefore cannot properly communicate yet and still there can be levels of understanding between infant-caregiver. There is two theories that explain how this can be done.

Parents are primarily responsible for satisfying this stage of development in their child. It is imperative parents are attentive to their infant's needs so trust can be developed.

theory? from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (Myers & Siegel, 1985). I This chose this article because I wanted a psychology article on breastfeeding. I have ideas of breastfeeding research I want would like to do for my senior thesis (if I get into the honors psychology program), and down the road for my dissertation. I selected this article from other breastfeeding ones because it uses data, and because it talks about the motivation behind breastfeeding. As a lactation consultant I encounter times when I can tell that the mother comes to me because “breastfeeding is just what you do,” but really doesn’t want to do it; so the information from the article can give me an idea how to better help my clients. This article compared the act of breastfeeding to addictive behaviors. It talked about how the bliss experienced while breastfeeding, the stress right before breastfeeding, and the withdrawal during weaning. I enjoyed reading this because this is some of the reasons that I went into psychology. I want to understand breastfeeding from an intellectual stand point; to define it as behaviors and break it down it ways that creates an environment compatible with success.

If the individual’s needs are not met in this stage the individual will most likely develop a mistrust that will hamper relationship in the future. The relationship between parent and caregiver is vital. “It is during the first months of life that the baby comes to trust or not, to have faith or not. Whether trust and faith are developed has direct implications for identity formation” (Goodwin, 1998) The goal of this stage is to gain ‘Hope’.

Infants are a special cohort of a population in the society. Children between the ages of five months to two years are at a stage where they start familiarizing with their surroundings and have different reactions to situations. The surrounding where an infant grows greatly determines his or her development. The primary determinant of the development of infants is the parent-infant interaction (Crain, 2015). The first bond or relation of a child is with its biological parents or guardians in the case of orphaned children.

Some of the major areas addressed in the literary review are whether or not the health professional’s opinion on breastfeeding matters to the new mother.
