Parenting is one of the hardest jobs on the planet. And this is the only job that no book or course can ever prepare you to do perfectly. Planning a family and having a child is a big step for any couple. And with the hectic and jam-packed lifestyles of today, it’s even difficult to get pregnant and have time to take care of yourself. Due to rising pollution and unhealthy lifestyles, many unfortunate women suffer from miscarriages and accidents that harm the fetus and lose their babies that aren’t even born yet.
A survey done by OECD of 36 countries found that the US ranks at 33 out of those 36 with infant mortality rates touching 5.631 deaths every 1000 infant births. Every parent knows how scary it is when their babies are sick, let alone the pain those parents suffer from feel when a child dies due to some health complication or accident during his infant phase. With the rise of viruses like COVID and Omni corn, it’s very important and difficult to ensure your baby’s safety and health.
Pediatricians play a vital role in providing the help and support parents need to take care of their babies. A pediatrician is someone who deals with the physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing of the children. Many pediatric organizations have developmental care specialists who monitor and fulfill the special developmental needs of babies during their growth phase.
A Newborn baby is quite delicate and most of the time is exposed to getting sick. These babies are kept in a Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) which is a specialized nursery area of the hospital where the developmental care specialists provide a comfortable, safe and supportive environment for the baby. In this area, a lot of tests, procedures, and treatments are done and throughout the process these specialists monitor and ensure that the baby is healthy.
Along with taking care of the delicate Newborn, DC specialists also guide the new parents about nutrition and vaccines crucial for the baby. Mothers are provided Lactation and feeding consultation lessons so that they can cope up with the new changes in their bodies and the nutrition intake of their baby.
The second important issue that arises after you ensure your child is physically is monitoring and helping with better mental development. Studies show that 90% of the brain is developed by the age of 5. And many parents struggle with providing the best brain development and care for their children. To help the child grow naturally up to their potential, it’s important to monitor their behavior, help them with their learning and teach them how to encounter their emotions. This gets quite hard for new parents and to support and help them, organizations like Oregon pediatrics provide full-time monitoring and guidance to help in their child’s mental and behavioral growth.
