With this post, do not try to give specific guidelines, but consider other ways of acting in certain circumstances, and thereby eliminate some myths about the care and the decisions we make with our children *:
- “When I leave the baby in the nursery, try to leave without me not to see the forest” by staying in school, children must say goodbye to their parents and see where they go, thus preventing any fantasies about the return or suspicion that there would be an inexplicable loss to them.
- “I drink too much beer and you to have plenty of milk” has no scientific basis for believing that these drinks increase the volume of milk secretion during lactation.
- “No fever, but I give the medicine before bed and sleep better”: the administration of antipyretics should only be performed in the presence of fever and pediatric prescription.
- “I who have to collect their things every day”: if a child does not experience the effort involved in collecting his fourth, never worry about your behaviors aimed at maintaining a minimum order.

- “If you’re bad, you get an injection” means the child will associate the injection as punishment, with no other motivation to harm rather than cure, so it will be more difficult to endure the pain when necessary to inject, mainly by creating the Once a vague sense of guilt for having done something wrong without knowing why.
- “The bottle is more convenient than breast feeding” pot of milk is the best food you can get a child at an early age and is more comfortable for the mother does not need sterilizing apparatus or not has to be heated, usually not lead to intolerance, no need to query for its strength and proportions, helps build the immune system, do not carry anything on the road, always at the proper temperature and composition, is a convenient oral exercise for muscle development of lips, language, etc.
- “I know it’s not cold but just in case, you wrap it, if not I cool” sweat wrap excess favors the onset of catarrhal processes. Shelter needs of children are very similar to those of adults.
- “Why do you talk to the child if they understand you?”: To learn to speak, it is essential that the child has a correct model of language from the beginning. Talking much to be stimulating the early onset of language.
The Pediatrician or Child Dermatologist

The bathroom and care
Children can make the bathroom every day but it is recommended that they not be more than 25 minutes.

As a matter of practicality the head should be washed prior to washing the body.
