In some health centers the doctor is present during the performance of this test, but most likely your baby will not know your doctor until you are 15 days old.

It is important that this visit will be long and deep, develops in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. It is useful to bring a list of doubts and questions and you stay close to her to reassure him. This visit has two main objectives:

It starts with auscultation and palpation of the abdomen and ends with an examination of the hips (1% of babies suffer dislocation of the hips) and mouth, as these are the two tests cause more discomfort to the child.

The doctor will also examine the texture and color of the skin and genital size, feel your head to check the status of the fontanelles and explore the pupils and the fundus.

The review continues with the neurological examination and testing of reflexes, although the reactions of the baby more uncomfortable testing and allow to assess their response to stimuli.

Finally, measurement of weight, height and head circumference to check if the baby is growing healthy.

TIPS TO TAKE CARE
In this first visit, the doctor will explain all you need to know to take good care. We advise on diet and sleep habits and show you how to clothe and bathe, if you can get a ride, what is the temperature must have your room, how to protect from the sun …

In addition, it will give guidelines for preventing sudden death and advice to act in case of accidents. Finally we will quote for your next visit, which will be at 15 days, when the baby is a month old.

Take the opportunity to ask the doctor and nurse any questions you have about caring for your child. So you will feel much more relaxed and secure when you are home alone with the baby.

The doctor also checks the baby’s reflexes:

first shots.

Surely after birth the pediatrician at the Hospital or Clinic gave you some tips on caring for your baby, however, it is important that if you do not have a pediatrician, I seek to do the monitoring and controls you need for your baby growth. or control The first visit must occur between the fifth and tenth day of life to coincide with the second test metabolic controls and conclude following your doctor depending on how is your baby.

The first visit of your baby’s doctor
If you are a new pediatrician, the first thing you ask is about your pregnancy, the controls that you had and how it developed delivery, plus some questions about family history, if there was a genetic disease, etc.. I wonder how your baby is developing in these early days, if you eat a lot or not, you will want to know about breastfeeding, feeding frequency and how you feel. Two other important issues to be aware of the pediatrician and ask you is about the dream your baby, how many hours you sleep and how are your bowel movements and if presented colic or spitting.

The doctor will also make your baby his first physical examination, measure your height, weight and size of his head and limbs. Review your hips, knees, measure reflexes and muscle tone and check if your ears are fine and if he is frightened by noise or not.

Feeding a baby of 2 months
Your baby is progressing every day so amazing and wonderful, but for all these advances, you need to eat right.

The baby at two months and eats with extended intervals, but each day a little more. Their eating habits and are more regular, and probably fed every 4 hours during the day and every 5 hours during the night. If bottle feeding, depending on the baby, take about 150 ml, five to seven times per day.

It is important that the bottles, after being well washed, are boiled for at least 10 minutes, and immediately stored in the refrigerator to maintain sterilization. It is very helpful preparing bottles a day in advance and keep them in the refrigerator, if only for 24 hours, and only use glass bottles. never save the remains of milk your baby is not consumed, if you began your diet and not consumed the whole bottle, you should discard the excess.

Visit to the pediatrician and progress control
During the visit to the pediatrician, to ensure that their growth is developed correctly, the practitioner will take all of your baby: height, weight, head circumference, etc.. Also, the doctor will ask about your progress daily, if you see and hear well and what their progress.

Feel free to ask everything , indeed, go to the query with a list of your questions but you seem trifles, with regard to the health of your child, the only one who can advise you properly is the pediatrician. Do not leave questions to be answered by your mother, your mother or a friend, myths also reach babies and homemade recipes often not only lack scientific rigor, but can be quite counterproductive.

Immunization schedule for infants 2 months
The vaccine schedule varies in many countries, but in most, within two months of life are inoculated the first doses of the triple , which will protect your child against Diphtheria, Tetanus and Polio. It also places the Whooping Cough vaccine or pertussis, the Haemophilis influenzae, which protects your baby from some meningitis, laryngitis, pneumonia and hepatitis B.

These vaccines can cause reactions in some babies small as a few lines of fever. You should not fret, it is quite normal, only proves that the body is reacting to vaccines and to produce the antibodies needed to fight back. Of course, you should make sure the fever does not exceed 39 ° C and administer the anti-fever prescribed by your pediatrician only.
Also you may see some skin reactions, nor should fear are normal and will disappear in a few days.

Conversely, if your baby’s reaction is disproportionate and skin reaction like a rash, a fever is high or has difficulty breathing or your heart rate speeds up, quickly contact your doctor because it may be having an allergic reaction to any vaccine component.

The vaccine is a subject that has become very controversial in recent years. More and more people against vaccines and there are more parents who choose not to vaccinate their children. As always it is important to be informed and make the best decision for your baby consider depending on the circumstances of your son and the lifestyle that bears the family.

Any medical intervention, it is tiny, has any consequence or reaction in our body, and vaccines as well as antibiotics and other medicine are no exception. To say nothing of vaccines, drugs, and antibiotics are bad but be aware of the possible consequences when deciding to use them.

Most of those opposed to vaccination argue that cases of autism have increased due to vaccines. However, no study has so far failed to demonstrate that vaccines cause autism. According to these investigations alone vaccines do not cause or autism or allergies. Apparently what happens is that babies with genetic predispositions are likely to develop autism or other allergies. So babies do not have the ability to effectively detoxify your system are more susceptible to developing reactions once they are vaccinated.
In my case, after studying the pros and cons and consult with experts, we decided to bring them to our daughters vaccines. Then I’ll tell you some things I consider important to know once you decide to vaccinate your child.

Avoid at all costs to vaccinate your baby when you are sick.

The vaccines may worsen or complicate any disease that has the baby. If your baby is sick and it’s a regular medical checkup which is accompanied by the making of vaccines, requires not vaccinated at that time. When babies are sick have weaker immune systems and therefore have fewer defenses against all the diseases that you are pumping your body through vaccinations.

I avoided even when suspected vaccines that could be more ill because they were sneezing, coughing, decayed, inapetetentes or any other symptoms that would indicate that disease may be developing. The idea is not to compromise your immune system.

Also, when a baby vaccines are sick you will not know if the reactions could be having such as fever and rashes due to the disease is developing or are reactions to vaccines received. It is important to know how your baby reacts to vaccines to make decisions regarding the implementation of future vaccines.

Do not give pain medication before vaccinate
Again and again I say give him some medicine before you put effects shots hinder him as fever and malaise. The problem with using medications such as Tylenol and Motrin, before putting your baby vaccine is that the use of the medicine your baby may be hiding a reaction to the vaccine. That is, if you give the medicine will not have a fever but do not know if the effect of medicine or because they really did not develop fever after the start of the vaccine.

In families with a history of reactions to vaccines or with many allergies have to be even more careful and consider whether it is worth or not to vaccines or separated to minimize the risk of reaction.
You can require that you separate the set of vaccines and not put them all in one medical visit
It is common and “normal” (standard) since the two-month-old babies to put them four five vaccines in one visit. This is repeated at four months, six months, after a year, 15 months, 18 months to 2 years and yearly thereafter. That is, are four and five diseases that a baby of two months is getting into your body at one time and are four diseases that her tiny body and immune system must fight.

There are alternative methods and programs in case you do not want to put your baby or four vaccines in one visit. Ask your doctor about these alternative programs of vaccination. When you use these methods you do is space the set of vaccines. This program seeks to minimize the risk of reaction that can have a baby and also provides for the implementation of all recommended immunizations.

Keep a record of the shots you put your baby
Every time you put your baby vaccines ask your doctor or nurse will give you the empty bottle from which the fluid bag to inject your baby. If bottles are larger than several times used to inject different babies and can deliver what you record all data on every shot that will put your son. At least the lot number and serial.

This is the vaccination schedule in children in Mexico:

The flu vaccine is recommended annually for children 6 months and older with certain risk factors (including but not limited to these factors, asthma, heart disease, sickle cell anemia, infection human immunodeficiency virus, diabetes), health workers and others (including those living in one house) in close contact with people from high risk groups and may be given to any other person wishing to obtain immunity against disease.

Additionally, we recommend that healthy children 6 to 23 months and close contacts of healthy children 0 to 23 months of age, were administered the influenza vaccine because children in this age group are exposed to a significantly increased risk of influenza-related hospitalization.

Children receiving TIV should receive vaccines in age-appropriate dose (0.25 mL if aged 6 to 35 months or 0.5 mL if aged 3 years and older). Children 8 years or younger receiving influenza vaccine for the first time should receive 2 doses (separated by at least 4 weeks of each other in the case of the TIV and separated by at least 6 weeks For LAIV).

Hepatitis A. The vaccine against hepatitis A is recommended for children and teens for certain risk groups. 2 doses of the series must be administered separately, at least 6 months the one after the other.

Pneumococcal vaccine. The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine heptovalente (PCV, for its acronym in English ) is recommended for all children 2 to 23 months. It is also recommended for certain children 24 to 59 months. This vaccine prevents children from pneumococcal meningitis.

That is, vaccines are antigens (compound composed of an inactivated virus or bacterium) that is injected into a human being to protect it from any ailment.

Importantly, the vaccines are only effective if applied before the disease is present. This is brought up by Mother and Baby Guide, since according to UNICEF figures, at least 1.7 million children worldwide die each year from preventable diseases by administering fatal shots. According to experts, it is essential that parents during the first months of life baby immunizations apply for your country in the appropriate periods to free him to suffer severe.
