I want to share with you the discovery of a blog (thank you, Sergio) that although it is meteorological it is written by a pediatrician, and now I tell you why I find a blog about weather predictions so interesting.
The blog is called The next Meteo. Its author is Jorge García-Dihinx, pediatrician, from Zaragoza, for more information, lover of trekking, who is currently hiking in Nepal. As a pediatrician, he cannot help observing the behavior of the little ones wherever he goes and has realized that in Nepal, babies don't cry.
Human husbandry needs to be constantly accompanied during the first years of life. And knowing this, Nepali mothers do not leave their babies at any time. They perform their daily tasks, work in the field or any activity they have to do with the child in tow, while caring for their children.
Jorge even says that the family that ran the shelter where he was staying, consisting of a mother, father or older brother and a five-month-old baby, together took turns to have the baby in his arms, including the older brother, and who does not remember having Heard that baby cry in two days.
And adds:
Against the theory that proclaims that if you take them a lot in their arms they will get used to it, science confirms that yes, they do get used to feeling loved, feeling safer, feeling important, feeling loved, being self-confident and being calmer that babies that are only caught in arms intermittently ”
The need for contact of young children is physiological, as is the need to eat and sleep. Therefore, it is important to understand that parenting is the most natural thing for the baby, who feels comforted and safe, in addition to contributing to alleviate discomforts that may come as gas, irritability, etc.
I really liked your blog, Jorge, and I recommend it to readers, both those who are mountain lovers and those who are not, there are some beautiful images. Although it seems that it has nothing to do with babies, it has given a fundamental key to parenting. Arms are the best we can give them.
