Pigeon toes a problem for Baby
Posted in 2015

Many babies have a slight intoeing, also called pigeon toes, when they're born. This usually disappears during the toddler years.
Pigeon toes may be caused by problems with any of three areas in the leg and foot. There may be deviation of the foot called metatarsus adductus. There may be problems at the head of the thigh bone at the hip. Finally, this could be due to problems in the tibia or lower leg bone -- internal tibial torsion.
Metatarsus adductus seen in infants tends to go away by the time a child begins walking. This is a curve in the foot itself, usually created by the baby's position in the womb before birth, although there are other possible factors. You can see metatarsus adductus when you look at the soles of your baby's feet. They'll curve towards each other like two half-moons.
Doctors disagree about whether to put foot braces on a child with severe pigeon toes. Some doctors advise bracing or casting if the feet are still severely curved when a child is between 4 and 6 months old. The brace or cast is usually removed when a baby starts to walk. Other doctors don't feel that bracing helps pigeon toes or speeds up the development of the feet and legs toward a more true alignment.
If your baby's knees point straight ahead with intoeing, he may have internal tibial torsion, which is more commonly seen at the ages of one to three years. This condition is caused by an inward turning of the tibia (lower leg bone). It usually resolves itself as a baby learns to walk. If it doesn't, see your doctor for possible treatment.
If your baby's knees point inward with intoeing, he may have a condition called excess femoral anteversion. This condition is caused by an inward turning of the femur (upper leg bone) and is often seen in children who sit with their lower legs behind them in a W shape. Again, it usually resolves on its own -- typically by age 8 or so.
All of these conditions usually disappear on their own, with little or no intervention.  But in some children it will not disappear and lead to permanent problem for the child life long.








My advise
1..   This problem arises to children when mother has not taken food containing Calcium and Vitamin D during her pregnancy
2...   I advise every couple to take healthy food containing Calcium and Vitamin D before and during pregnancy.

Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Posted in 2014 Pregnancy can pose serious challenges to sleeping well. Poor quality and too little sleep are common during pregnancy, when many women experience fragmented sleep and symptoms of insomnia. Even women who don’t generally experience sleep problems find that during pregnancy they have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as trouble getting enough sleep. We talk a lot about sleep issues for new mothers. But new research   suggests we should be paying more attention to the sleep health of expectant mothers as well. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found   links between both the quality and quantity of pregnant women’s sleep and complications at birth, including low birth weight and pre-term births. The link betw

Fibre deficiency during Pregnancy...4

Fiber deficiency during Pregnancy...4 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info   7...  Why do we need to eat fibre? It used to be called “roughage”, and people tried to get rid of it.  Now we have heard plenty about it, but why do we need fibre in our diet? Dietary fibre is actually a form of  carbohydrate that does not get digested by enzymes in our small intestine, and so its sugar units are not absorbed into the bloodstream.  Dietary fibre is therefore known as ‘non-glyceami"‘. However, fibre has important effects on other nutrients within the small intestine and through effects on the large intestine, where few other nutrients arrive intact.  It has a range of valuable health effects: Smooths out digestion and absorption of glucose and fats in the small intestine.  It reduces the Glycaemic index of a meal. Provides fuel for the healthful or  good bacteria in our large intestine  which in turn benefit us by making Vitamin
