Babies need a lot of cuddling and holding during their first few weeks after birth and others believe transition from womb to world can be a major factor in this behavior. The womb has a sound and motion of its own that is hard to simulate in our daily lives. Swaddling baby before putting them down for night and playing soft sounds that are similar to womb has in fact soothed some infants with Colic. Lay your little one in his crib on his side or tummy, never on his back. If you swaddling your baby with his receiving blanket he will feel safe and more secure, similar to being in womb.

As research improves and more data is collected, there may be a cure for Colic in our lifetime but until this does come, you can only follow suggestions and wait it out.

Pediatric Obesity

Pediatric obesity is a term that is becoming increasingly common. What used to be an anomaly--a child who weighs at least 20 percent more than is healthy--is now increasingly commonplace. In addition increased health risks and decreased life span of overweight children, there is also not-inconsiderable social stigma attached to being heavy. These children tend to withdraw into themselves, becoming shy, uncomfortable, and solitary. Clearly, an overweight child is dealing with a number of issues concerning all areas of health: emotional and mental, as well as physical. Now, people want to know: what is causing this distressing trend? Can anything be done to stop it?

What Is Cure for Pediatric Obesity?

Experts on pediatric obesity have been working non-stop for years to unravel this mystery. They have had worldwide support, since obese children imply great social health concerns long into future. Fortunately, new light has been shed on this problem.

Experts such as Dr. Anhalt, director of pediatric endocrinology at St. Barnabas Medical Center, believe a solution has been found. Dr. Anhalt has noticed that obese children are remarkably deficient in some very basic vitamins and minerals, and that getting child's body back into balance can make a world of difference. As such, this esteemed doctor has developed a formula called "EssentiaLean," which supplies children with nutrients they need, which, when combined with better eating and exercise habits, will reverse weight-gaining trend and lead to a much healthier and happier life.
