In our modern society, it is common for women to take alcohol socially on a regular basis. What happens when the woman becomes pregnant? What are the official recommendations regarding alcohol intake and pregnancy?
The medical community has been alarmed for a long time now on the effects of alcohol during pregnancy, the worst outcome being fetal alcohol syndrome.
Since there is no way to determine how much alcohol is safe to take during pregnancy, a zero consumption recommendation has been the official position of the medical community. After all, the level of alcohol passing through the placenta varies on too many variables to be determined exactly. Such variables can be the weight of the mother, the stage of the pregnancy, the weight of the baby, the type of alcohol taken, etc

Baby boomers are quickly approaching retirement age, and as they do, there are a number of concerns that need to be addressed, particularly in the area of healthcare. Unfortunately, there appears to be no easy answers to the healthcare problems that baby boomers, and the population in general, will face in the very near future.
Baby Boomers are people who were born between 1946 and 1964. During this period of time the United States of America saw an explosion in birthrates that had never been seen before and nothing like it has been seen since. Today, baby boomers make up approximately 28% of the total United States of America population.

However, many patient advocacy groups and clinics offer additional options for dealing with the increasing financial costs of infertility treatment by working one on one with individuals to find personal solutions.

Firstly we need to establish what the term ‘colic’ means. Colic is the term given to the build up of gases in babies causing pain and discomfort. It is not an illness or a serious medical condition; it is however, very draining for both mother and baby.
The main symptom of colic is usually constant crying for no apparent reason. For example your baby won’t be hungry, need their nappy changed or have a temperature, they will not want to be laid down, sat up, played with or left alone. Nothing you do will ease their crying. Most babies have a colicky time of day, which is usually in the afternoon or early evening. The good news is that colic normally passes by the age of 3-4 months.

Swaddling is a very old word and perhaps the first time many people heard the term was the reference in the bible to the baby Jesus being wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. The English Dictionary defines it as “to wrap a baby in swaddling clothes” which are described as strips of cloth. In more recent times there have been a number of studies done to examine the benefits, if any of swaddling. It has been suggested that small babies feel more secure when they are wrapped in a lightweight cotton blanket. Being swaddled on their backs has also been recommended to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
