Scientists-psychologists have two versions of the relation to children's crying. When a child cries, some doctors believe that you need to "give him a cry," others - that the child can not be left alone with his crying for more than 10 minutes. If a child often cries, you must always respond to his call. Why?
Colic is manifested by attacks of screaming and excitation of the child in the first year of life. Despite the fact that the term "colic" implies intestinal origin, the etiology is unknown.
The crying of the newborn from colic should be distinguished. Crying only means that the child reports his discomfort. Causes can be ordinary (for example, a newborn who has been used to cramped conditions of being in utero, frightened of the movements of the hands and feet) or serious (eg, otitis, abdominal pain). More often, there is no objective reason.
Fear of separation is manifested by the crying of the child, when the parents leave the room. Usually begins at the age of 8 months, peak intensity reaches between 10 and 18 months, disappears, as a rule, to 24 months.
Sleep disorders in a child after this age take different forms, including the difficulty of falling asleep at night, frequent nocturnal awakenings, atypical drowsiness during the day, dependence on feeding or staying on hands in order to fall asleep.
Births, especially complicated, can end unfavorably for the child - birth trauma may occur.
Intracranial hemorrhage into the brain tissue or into surrounding tissues can occur in any newborn, but especially often develop in premature babies; About 20% of premature newborns with a birth weight less than 1500 g have intracranial hemorrhage.
The transferred child is an infant born after the 42nd week of gestation. Reasons for child retention are usually unknown. Very rarely, this can occur because of anomalies that affect the pituitary-adrenal fetal system (eg, anencephaly or adrenal adenosis).
A premature baby is a child born before 37 weeks of gestation. The full term of gestation is 40 weeks. In children born before 37 weeks of gestation, there is an increased incidence of complications and mortality, which is approximately proportional to the degree of prematurity.
Nuclear jaundice (bilirubin encephalopathy) is a brain damage caused by the deposition of bilirubin in the basal ganglia and the nuclei of the brainstem.
