H1N1 Prevents Father From Seeing Daughter's Birth - Health News Story - WBAL Baltimore

Quote:
BALTIMORE -- A new father missed his daughter's birth but had a reason -- he was possibly infected with the H1N1 flu.

Dan D'Orazio wasn't allowed to be in the hospital when his wife, Brandie, gave birth to their first child because he's sick.

The family said they didn't expect their daughter to make her grand appearance until Nov. 2, but Brandie went into labor early Tuesday.

When the D'Orazios arrived at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, Dan was told to go home.

The couple said they understood it was the best thing for their child, but that it didn't make it any easier.

"At the moment when I had to leave, I looked at her and she got very teary-eyed, and we also had masks on our face so it was hard to see all of her emotion. But I knew she was very upset," Dan said.

A friend came to help Brandie in the delivery room and videotape and take pictures of the birth of the first child. Dan went home and had to settle for staying in contact with Brandie via cell phone.

"They put me on speaker phone, and I was listening in as she was delivering. And they were giving her instructions, and I was speaking to her and they said, 'We can see the head, we can see the head,' and the doctor pulled the baby out and said, 'Brandie, tell Dan what it is.' And she looked and said, 'It's a girl,'" Dan said.

Dan got pictures of his new daughter sent from a cell phone and did what every new dad does. He called his friends and family and sent out pictures of newborn Stella Rose.

Finally, on Wednesday afternoon, after being fever-free for 24 hours, he was allowed to see his daughter for the first time.

"When I saw her today, it was really amazing. Healthy, beautiful and just everything we imagined," Dan said.

Even though the birth didn't go as planned, the new parents said the situation has broken them into parenthood already.

"The whole experience was unexpected, but I think I've learned that as a parent, you roll with the punches. I learned that lesson early," Dan said.

Mom and baby were expected to come home from the hospital on Thursday.

Today's Healthy Child: When & How To Stop Thumb-sucking - todaysthv.com | KTHV | Little Rock, AR

When some kids get nervous or tired, the first thing they do is pop their thumbs in their mouths. In Today's Healthy Child, THV is partnering with Arkansas Children's Hospital to help parents know when to stop thumb-sucking and the right way to go about doing it.

Thumb-sucking calms babies and children, but it's a habit that can cause problems if it extends past early childhood. Dr. Kirt Simmons, Director of Craniofacial Orthodontics at Arkansas Children's Hospital, says, "It's normal at birth and shortly thereafter to suck your thumb. Up until about the age 2-3, most children do suck their thumb or finger or pacifier. At that point, most children will discontinue the habit naturally."

But if a child continues thumb-sucking past the age of 5, they may be at risk of developing dental problems. Their teeth may become misaligned and they could develop to speech problems. Dr. Simmons explains, "If the child is really actively sucking with their cheeks, it can make the top jaw narrower. They get what's called a crossbite."

So how do you put an end to your child's thumb-sucking? "The first thing you need to do is No. 1, provide a comfortable environment," says Dr. Simmons. "A lot of children get emotional support from sucking their thumb or fingers. There are a lot of emotional issues tied up with this."

Treatments range from clinical to homemade. Parents can use a reward system, such as toys, or use medical appliances that physically prevent the habit. "One of the tricks is don't scold the child or punish them for doing it," says Dr. Simmons. "You want to use praise and encouragement, helpful reminders."

Dr. Simmons says regardless of the method, the habit won't be instantly broken, and nothing will be accomplished until the child is ready. He says, "Trying to stop a child when they insist they're not ready, they don't want to, is doomed to failure."

Dr. Simmons says he doesn't want to worry parents about thumb-sucking. He says in a typical practice, less than 10 percent of children are in need of professional assistance to stop and probably only one percent need serious help.

My husband and I were discuss about this is for our baby. He don't believe in pacifier for reason. He was thumbsucking when he was baby until kid. I never suck my thumb because I didn't like it. I realized that I had bad mid-face on my teeth because not thumb sucking. I had experience with ear infection by pacifier.

You could like to post to share with your experience when you was baby & young and your babies & kids. ]]> Parenting Pinky http://www.alldeaf.com/parenting/71005-pacifier-vs-thumbsucking.html
