The link between the baby’s present condition and the three-year-old sisters is that, the three year old might have transferred the virus to the six month old through touch, coughing or sneezing. As it is with shingles the virus was dormant for four month till the time that their mother noted the blister like lesions on the babies back (page17). 4.The baby did not have symptomatic illness when his sister was experiencing it because at the time, the baby was being breast fed by the mother. This means the baby was getting natural antibiotics from his mother through the breast milk. Two moths after the cessation of breast-feeding, the baby did not have that protection anymore.
Mom explains that the spots on the baby’s back just popped up two days ago and that the baby hasn’t had a fever and seems well. She lifts the baby up and you examine the lesions – a group of about seven to either blisterlike lesions localized to the left of the baby’s spine. They have clear fluid in them. The physician says the lesions are diagnostic. 1.

Interventions such as chest Physiotherapy, assisted cough, and nocturnal noninvasive ventilation may be considered. However these interventions will only increase the quality of life with no effect on survival for patients with Werdnig-Hoffman paralysis or SMA type I. Some of the medical complications associated with these treatments include pulmonary infections, spinal deformities and respiratory failure. Prognosis The prognosis for children with Werdnig-Hoffman paralysis is very poor. Median survival is about 6 months and 95% of children with the disease have died by the age of 18 months.
Her reasons to be pregnant at that age? Well, it's unplanned. Yes, unplanned pregnancies do not happen only to teenagers, my mom had one. They said it was a blessing. Anyway, I was there when my mom experienced 50% survival chance (same with my little sister), and had to undergo caesarean delivery due to pregnancy complications.
This program is different from the previous two mentioned methods because it focuses on short one-on-one counseling services done by non-trained personnel (O’Connor & Whaley, 2007). The non-trained personnel, are actually nutritionists whom were given a “step-by-step” guide on how to do a brief intervention successfully (O’Connor & Whaley, 2007). The women had monthly prenatal Women Infants and Children (WIC) visits (O’Connor & Whaley, 2007). At these WIC visits they were evaluated to see if they were continuingly consuming alcohol during their pregnancy. As nutritionist it was their duty to hold a brief intervention and bring attention to their alcohol consumption habits and the harmful consequences of consuming alcohol prenatally (O’Connor & Whaley, 2007).
The test consists of ‘a series of separations and reunions of child, caregiver and a stranger’ [Oates et al, 2005]. The child’s behaviour is assessed during these episodes and given an attachment classification of secure or insecure – insecure attachment can be either ‘avoidant’ or ‘ambivalent’ [Oates et al, 2005]. Insecure attachment has been frequently linked with psychological problems and could be considered another ‘risk

My son Dakota was breastfeed for his first six months of life and I chose this option due to the severe allergies his father and I have. Dakota fortunately did not acquire any of the allergies that could have been hereditary, thankfully. However, for convenience I let Dakota sleep by my side in between feedings. Although this method gave me considerable ease with the feedings I found the following statement to have been an unknown benefit as well. “It is interesting to note that both breastfeeding and sleeping with parents induce shorter bouts of sleep and less sound sleep than the alternatives (Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000).
