Baby Weight
Localized weight loss
When you put on weight, not fatten everyone equally. Meanwhile, the main difference in the way fat is in sex. Men tend to put pounds on the stomach and abdomen, while women on the thighs and hips. The clear differences in the distribution of fat on various parts of the body depend on different hormonal constitution.
The female hormone estrogen contribute to the accumulation of fat on the thighs and hips, while testosterone “works” largely in the accumulation of fat over the male body. However, even among members of the same sex differences are glaring. There are women who put on pounds in the areas of “classics” of the hips and thighs, and others, which, however, only fat in the upper part, including the abdomen.
In the first case it comes to obesity pear (gynoid), while in the second apple from obesity (android). The apple or android obesity in women may also be a symptom of a dysfunction of the adrenal glands. In these cases, one wonders whether there are diets that can allow the weight loss only in the areas of interest.
The diet for weight loss located
As for the diet that allows you to create a weight loss only where it is needed, we must first clear the field by simple misunderstandings and that is that at present there are no actual diets that allow the pounds and lose weight in areas where fat accumulates, but only small dietary and lifestyle choices that can help reduce fat and in areas that are most annoying.
A real weight loss diet, in fact, would have the effect of weight loss all areas of the body, because our body is not selective when it burns fat, but it tends to do so in full. The localized weight loss can be achieved by combining measures of food to ‘physical activity and possible treatments.
To lose weight in the abdominal area is useful to consume products made ??from bean pods, which hinders the absorption of carbohydrates, the products of pineapple stem and leaves of senna, which combine a breakfast of coffee and slices of barley wholemeal bread, brown rice for lunch and dinner barley soup or vegetable soup.
In this diet about five days, the constant is represented by the cup of barley coffee for breakfast and lunch, snack and dinner will consist of mixed vegetables, yogurt and low-fat cheese, bresaola or anchovies. The weight loss in one area of ??the thighs and hips is more difficult to obtain because in these areas is fat and directly influenced by female hormones, namely estrogen.
For a diet aimed at weight loss are the thighs and hips is advisable to avoid the consumption of red meat, which exerts a stimulating action of estrogen. And ‘uitle, however, eat steamed white meat, but make sure the origin of this meat that could be added with estrogen nullifying the results of the diet.
To be sure to eat white meat without estrogen is advisable to buy from organic farms. The diet should be combined with exercises for the abdominal fat belly, long walks in beauty and massage for the fat thighs and hips.
Headache Children, The Fat More Vulnerable
Head disease is not limited to adults. All children, especially if you are overweight, you can find this disease.
There are many things that trigger your baby feel numb, and may be an alias for dizziness headache. Sometimes sleep is not enough everyday activities such as homework or increased tension of the reviews of the child’s school and eat. Consequently, the boy had complained of a headache.
Another simple example, if children are often unintentionally, would fall so bumpy in the head o. This incident has become or trauma can cause headaches for them.
Unfortunately,”, sometimes children are not parents who had fallen or beaten in the head. In fact, caregivers often silent,”said a specialist for children at a hospital in Jakarta, Pondok Indah, Dr. Adi Tagore SpA
The doctor, who had revealed confidential called Adi is based on its experience in these young patients, are common causes of headaches in children by a bacterial infection or a virus that can infect the central nervous system. Sometimes, when children maintain a high fever, swelling of the brain cells of fluid, which causes pain in the head.
”Well, the most feared is a viral infection that attacks the lining of the brain. The reason for this inflammation causes meningitis is called,”he said.
Genesis seremeh all that can trigger a migraine. Headaches I wonder if the doctors in the United States, for example, 90 percent of school-age children have experienced. Especially in the age of this elegant multi children sit for hours in front of the screen), computer monitor, and Play Station (Salmo In fact, exposure to ionizing radiation show an excess can also cause headaches. This never been demonstrated in a study in Japan.
Children’s clothes out there at home in front of the screen is slow, it can also be overweight. The reason is, while playing PS for example, institutions in general, only the hands and brain, while others are static. Not to mention, while his favorite TV show, usually performed in the nose. Immobility and snacks, lots of fat, overweight (obesity) to obesity.
The cases of childhood obesity continue to warn menggurita recent years and experts in a number of risks such as cardiovascular disease, obese children face growing.
Is there a relationship with a headache? Relationship between reported headache research published in the daily headache in the past. Thus, the study, children or adolescents who are overweight, have shown an increased risk for chronic headaches.
Research by Dr. Andrew D. Hershey of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, United States, involving 913 participants both as children and teens with headache complaints. Approximately 17.5 percent of study participants reported that overweight or obese, and 33 percent of the participants also showed the risks that lead to two conditions.
The researchers monitor the progress of participants for six months. The result, if the body mass index (BMI) increases, the headaches became more frequent. BMI is a measurement system that relates height and weight. Figures of body mass index, an indicator of a person in connection with normal weight, overweight or obese.
Previous studies in adults also reported a correlation between BMI of chronic headaches. If known, the cause is the prevalence of risk factors, chronic daily headache. But the good news that the incidence of headache can be offset by a reduction in body weight.
In addition, Hershey and his team of doctors advising the children of patients with headaches watching their weight. For example, through behavioral therapy, setting appropriate eating habits, and of course, regular exercise.

Fat Mother, Baby Is Not Great
Big little fetus in utero is very closely related to nutrition and the relationship with the food consumed by the mother. When pregnant women to be difficult to eat or are prone to frequent vomiting, which leads to weight loss, the fetus may also weigh light. So, now hypothesis that obese mothers during pregnancy, the baby must be big.
Normally, the weight of the mother during pregnancy has been rising. However, if the child in the womb, do not experience weight gain or increased, but not so important, should be a little disappointing.
To change the weight of the child in the womb, using ultrasound can be periodic or regular. Having this test, how many weeks the developing baby has not begun to follow the gestational age.
Fetus ideal weight;
1. 20 weeks of pregnancy, fetal weight about 0.5 kilograms of
2. 36 weeks gestation, the fetus of 2.5 kg
3. By birth weight is expected to reach 3-3.5 kg.
The cause was an increase in fetal weight;
1. Pregnant women who gained weight during the pregnancy continues, we can assume that the absorption of food in the mother was not upset. But if you find that the baby’s weight at birth less than it should, chances are there restrictions on the supply of food and oxygen from mother to fetus.
2. The influence of the drug used by pregnant women. For example, the mother suffered from hypertension, chronic kidney disease, smokers, alcoholics, diabetics melitus severe malnutrition and drug use.
3. The uterus and placental factors. Placental cells, causing damage, not the cord into the placenta to the rule. Although food and nutritional needs of infants can not including supply well.
To determine whether the placenta can not function properly, is done by ultrasound. Ultrasound can be judged by an increase in blood flow in the placenta.
The test may also cardiotocography (CTG), which can be seen through photos baby’s heart rate so we can judge whether the baby is in a state of oxygen deficiency or
4. The fetal abnormalities such as chromosomal abnormalities, birth defects and infections in the uterus.
For a baby born with normal weight;
1. Pregnancy test routine for nurses. Talk about the factors that prevent pregnancy, disease, including low birth weight. Follow the suggestions and advice.
2. Eating nutritious food to meet nutritional needs of a balanced diet.
3. Stop bad habits habits fetal health. Since the cigarette, alcohol, take the drink, no drugs, unnecessary.
4. Get enough rest.
5. Try not to be passive smokers, is more efficient and to avoid,
6. If not possible, an ultrasound to monitor the status of the fetus.
7. When dealing with complaints without a doctor or midwife if you are pregnant.

Passive Smokers Pregnant women can be a baby weighing Lower Body
How real danger of pregnant women as passive smoker? The results of the latest research from the Journal of the American College of Cardiology May 2008 edition, revealed that in 30 minutes in a smoky room can cause damage to blood vessels severe enough. So will increase the risk of heart disease.
Negative Impact. Similar expressed dr Sofani Munzila SpOG from YPR Hospital Menteng, Central Jakarta. “The danger is like passive smokers with current smokers. The influence of the most common of fetuses born with low weight, premature births, miscarriages, disruption of supply of oxygen from mother to fetus, vascular disorders,” he went on to explain paparnya.Lebih possible effects long term that can happen, “oxygen supply conditions that are less good and low weight, can affect automatically kemantangan organ development (maturity). And if the delivery of oxygen to the brain are blocked, may cause interference with the intelligence of the child later,” he explained. Women graduates of the University of Indonesia was even admitted that passive smokers suffer precisely twice than the smokers themselves. “For pregnant women inhale smoke and fumes main side effect. The main smoke smoke that is inhaled directly into smokers’ lungs and the blow back. The smoke of a side of smoke produced by the burning end of cigarettes,” he explained. Toxic Smoke And, what the content of cigarette smoke? Apparently, cigarette smoke contains about 4000 toxic chemicals, 43 of them are carcinogenic (causing cancer). Hazardous substances contained in cigarette smoke including nicotine, tar, carbon monoxide (CO) and so on. Nicotine can damage the heart and blood circulation. In addition, nicotine addiction also makes the wearer. Tar contains toxic chemicals that can damage lung cells and cause cancer. While carbon monoxide can result in reduced ability to carry blood oksigen.Perbanyak Consumption of Vitamin C and E confirms the content Sofani cigarette smoke is a pollutant that can result in teratogenik effects (trigger disorders or abnormalities in the fetus). Therefore, if pregnant women are often exposed to smoke, it is recommended to consume antioxidant drugs. “Obstetricians would need to consider how he was given medication antioxidants. So, must be considered and each case is different,” ulasnya. He added, “Usually the doctor will provide vitamin C and E. For the best antioxidants found in both. So pregnant women are advised to eat lots of fruits and vegetables.”

Beware of Obesity in Infants
Fast rise: rapid weight increase in the first six months after the birth of a baby tends to obese as toddlers
Baby fat fast is not necessarily healthy. Even the parents should watch. The babies who have rapid weight gain during the first six months after birth is very susceptible to obesity when in infancy, according to a report of a Harvard study.
“We need to start a prevention method when the children were very young,” said study author Dr. Elsie M Taveras. “Even in a few weeks after birth, we can give guidance to parents to prevent weight gain quickly on their babies,” he added
In previous similar research, has found a link between birth weight infants with obesity, but the influence of other factors such as duration of pregnancy, maternal height and maternal lifestyle often not considered.
Harvard researchers to track 559 children who become participants Project Viva, a study going on pregnant women and their children. The babies born then measured their weight and height, and then measured again at 6-month-old baby, and again at 3 years.
Once include other factors such as the baby’s body length, the researchers found that if the baby has a body mass index increased during the first six months tend to be experienced or even obesity can be classified as age 3 years.
“Currently, most guidelines recommend surrounding the treatment of obesity we begin the examination and treatment of children when they entered the age of 2 years,” said Elsie. “But with the discovery that prevention and treatment should be done even as early as possible,” he added.
According to the National Institutes of Health, the U.S., approximately one third of adults in Uncle Sam’s considered obese. Ten to fifty percent of obese people tend to die with all the causes of health problems. In 2000, the epidemic of obesity cost the U.S. health care system up to 117 billion U.S. dollars.
“The key indication for this study is the importance of better education about infant intake,” said Connie Diekman, director of the Nutrition Division, Washington University, St. Louis. “Because the study did not examine what the food given to infants after breastfeeding, it is difficult to know if the gift becomes the cause of excessive intake,” said Connie.
To be effective, could be required only small changes simple. In Germany, a fountain was placed in 32 schools located in poor areas of two German cities. The teacher then presented the four teaching the kids class and class.
The study found that students attending these schools, about 31 percent have less risk of obesity than students who attend school in a place that does not teach about the water.
“The researchers themselves state that we need research on the care and infant relationships or bonds, because other studies have shown that lack of bonding during feeding, the baby will automatically change what they eat,” said Connie.
“In addition, the findings need to be removed and dubious studies should be repeated to see whether excessive weight gain during pregnancy is also a factor,” added Connie.
“Our research did provoke a lot of new questions, why the rapid increase baby’s weight can lead to obesity later in life,” said Elsie. “Therefore we need further research to identify factors that explain this regard,” he said
Big Babies and Ice Supply
If you are a mother who was pregnant, afraid you if your baby is born with a baby one day of the babies born weighing over 4 pounds. Every baby born at risk of complications during childbirth, the risk that there could be a difficult baby out through the birth, postpartum hemorrhage due to a tear in the birth canal or tersangkutnya shoulder resulting in difficult breathing baby, even if his shoulder was caught immediately helped lead the death of the child. This is one form of complication during the birth process that occurs with a large baby. Prediction of actual children have more predictable early with a regular pregnancy check both the midwife and the doctor.
During pregnancy check at your doctor is always in question, history and menstrual cycles, history of health problems mother / father before pregnancy, the complaints are felt during pregnancy and a history of consumption of certain drugs during pregnancy lasted. The question is will bring the doctor in a follow-up inspection program for welfare of the fetus. For example, if mothers with a history of recurrent miscarriage occurs, the baby died in utero and had a big baby, doctors will lead to check the mother’s blood sugar level and blood tests to see certain parasites such as Toxoplasma. With this early examination certain disorders can be overcome by giving certain drugs.
The case of large babies weighing under 5 pounds baby is still often the case, however, babies born with weight of 6 kilograms ekskrim still very rare. Big baby or makrosomia known Latin term, or the Giant Baby (baby giant), is a baby weighing over 4 pounds. Incidence varies between 8 to 10 percent of total births, but the birth of extreme weight above 5.5 kg as very rare. Large baby increases the risk of delivery problems that may occur shoulder and caught the baby, even if the baby is born, the baby will be born with breathing problems and sometimes the baby is born with a collarbone injury, shoulder and nerve sheath.
All this happened due to the great mass of baby making it impossible or very difficult through the mother’s pelvis. Lucky in certain circumstances can babies through the mother’s pelvis with a long process but it usually has the potential baby is not healthy, while mothers who give birth often experience postpartum disorders walked up from stretching the pelvic bone structure. These complaints can be recovered with good care.
Factors cause large babies can be due to maternal factors and could also be due to her own baby factor. Some of these factors among others. Women who suffer from diabetes (diabetes mellitus), this occurs due to the interruption of blood sugar using pregnant women berperannya caused no insulin function, which makes babies grow up. A mother with a history of diabetes, if you’re pregnant to do the lab about the blood sugar levels to prevent complications in the womb the baby’s death.
Examination of blood sugar levels should be done during 24-28 weeks of gestation, when blood sugar is not normal, the value of sugar to be lowered in a safe or normal limits by using insulin injections, because the use of drugs that lower blood sugar tablets are not justified, because it could endanger baby.
During pregnancy the mother’s weight gain is always recorded in order to predict the increase of maternal health and prevent the addition of a very conspicuous. A chubby-risk pregnant women 4 to 12 times to give birth to large babies. Babies are born great, too associated with gestational age estimated passing time. Also a mother with a pregnancy of more than 2 is also potentially a big baby, because in general the weight of a baby coming next increased by about 80 to 120 gr. Pregnant women with advanced age and had a big baby, big baby chance.
In addition the influence of maternal posture and a great father also affect babies born large, high-impact associated with weight loss instead. The influence of genetic or congenital abnormalities (congenital) are also influential to happen big baby. Infants with Sex influential men of the baby occurs, usually around 150 boys heavier than the type of women, the incidence in boys ranged 60 to 65 percent .. Pregnant women who drink ice no relationship with big kids events, these complaints are often asked a pregnant woman during pregnancy consult your obstetrician.
With regular pregnancy check can be reduced risk of complications for the mother that often occurs due to large babies, such as high rates of Caesarean section, pascasalin bleeding, and trauma of the birth canal. Check the post pregnancy midwife or health clinic was conducted by either a midwife or general practitioner will be the initial screening, the presence or absence of a mother’s pregnancy problems.
If a mother with weight gain above 12 kg, the average ideal weight gain during pregnancy (7 to 12 kg), or the uterine fundus height above 40 cm, or obese mothers (above 80 kg weight), should be the case that so immediately referred to the hospital for confirmation sonography examination because of the mother with these measures potentially happening big baby.
Problems that arise in large infants with maternal history of diabetes is the treatment of post-born babies, babies should be checked blood sugar levels to prevent infants less energy is usually caused sianak normal function of insulin hormone. Meanwhile, in a large group of infants due to maternal posture factor large, relatively easy maintenance.
Prevention aimed at preventing a large babies happen unwanted complications for both mother and fetus by road to an early diagnosis of potential big baby. Prevention is done by doing the weighing of maternal weight on a regular basis, a high measurement of fundus uteri and eating right.
So far, there is the assumption of a pregnant woman should eat for two people serving as such it requires relatively much energy, this opinion is not correct because of the increased calorie needs of a pregnant women ranged from 10 to 15 percent of normal requirements.
To prevent a pregnant mother of a baby needs to do a regular pregnancy, 4 times during pregnancy, once during the first trimester and the second and 2 times during the third trimester of pregnancy.
Important for a pregnant woman to do a sonography (ultrasound) during pregnancy, should a pregnant woman during her pregnancy checked at least as much as 2 times, ie during 12-15 weeks gestation to see the baby abnormalities, and the age of 8 months of pregnancy to determine welfare of the fetus, placental location and position / presentation babies so they can plan the optimal delivery. Examination of the baby with ultrasound will provide accuracy up to 90 percent, while the physical examination alone for example with maternal weight and height of fundus uteri provide accuracy up to 50 percent.
Given the many risks that may occur during pregnancy, it should be. every pregnant woman to do good prenatal care and regular, with weight gain weighed every month, doing an ultrasound examination during pregnancy at least at the beginning and end of gestation.
Do not be ashamed to tell a history of bad pregnancy if there is time to consult with your doctor. With the high public awareness of pregnancy to examine whether we will be able to reduce the risk of major birth, and the risk of pregnancy.

Weight Loss Newborn
Please note, within 1-2 weeks after birth, little weight is generally shrinking. Why? Because the baby’s body contains enough water as a “by-by” which he brought from the womb. Well, in a 1-2 week period, the liquid gradually out through the urine. Automatic weight babies so down. Of course not drastic. Yes … about 10% of BB when first weighed at birth. So weight loss 1-2 weeks after birth is a natural thing.
In the following weeks, little weight is relatively increased. Increase per month to around 350-600 grams, or even to reach 1-1.5 kg depending on the plant flowers each baby is unique.
NORMAL INCREASE
Once again, weight gain is not black and white issue. That is, if your baby weight and then she was considered mild sickly or when the baby looks fat she summed directly as a healthy baby. BB increase in general can be categorized in the following calculation:
* First Quarter : 500-600 grams per month
* The second quarter : 350-450 grams per month
* Third Quarter : 150-250 grams per month
* Fourth Quarter : 600 – 1200 grams per month
Of that number appeared generally in the first 3 months after birth increased the greatest weight. At the age of 3-6 months, the addition of even high enough to reach 2-fold than when the age of 0-3 months. Well, at the age of 6-9 months of additional weight begins to slow. Likewise, when your baby 9-12 months old, not too flashy penambahannya.
If you want to count, count again, the average weight of babies when 6 months to two times birth weight. Meanwhile, at the age of one year to 3 times birth weight. For example, if the birth weight 4 kg, at the age of 6 months has reached 8 kg. At the age of one year was 12 kg. It’s not set in stone but merely a calculating for parents to estimate the weight of your baby. Stay with notes, calculations are only estimates, aka no fixed prices. So babies born weighing 4 pounds is not necessarily at the age of 1 year reached 12 kg. Could be weighed only 10 kg.
Well, after one year of age, weight gain usually begins to slow again. That does not mean a decline. Continues to increase, only slowly. Obviously, parents do not have to be surprised or worried if your child finds the weight up and down. That means normal. After all, from various studies of a number of normal infants of different races also showed a decrease in body weight in 0-12 months age range.
Receptions GROWTH
Well, if found little BB down, not just be a nuisance. It could be kept indicating the normal progress of growth. On the other hand, genetic factors also determine the baby’s growth. This means that weight can also be seen how the history of BB family.
Because of that, to ascertain whether it was within the normal category, lack of or excessive, parents can check or compare the Lubchenko curve contained in a book developed to monitor the baby grows, or KMS (Toward Health Card) from the health center or hospital. Well, based on these curves, the parameters to find out your baby’s growth is not only seen from the increase BB, but also height and head circumference size.
Can be known whether the weight of your baby is still hand in hand with the increase curve height and size of a normal head circumference. So parents are encouraged to constantly monitor your child BB regularly every month through its control to the doctor or nearest health center.
IF has fallen dramatically
Parents are sometimes considered if the BB down means babies are malnourished. As a result, little was forced to eat more, or give him vitamins so fat fast. In fact, the decline BB should not signify the growth of small problems. As long as still within the normal range on growth charts earlier.
Only if the growth curve was decreased dramatically, parents need to be alert. Especially when there are symptoms of appetite dropped, often cranky, and wants feeding decreased. Or if in two consecutive months there is no addition of BB. If this happens to consult whether the child might be suffering from the disease. To be sure, if the additional weight does not match with the chart, then it might be little impaired growth.
Disturbance of growth can occur in the short term and long term. In the short term, weight reduction can be caused due to the decline of the small appetite, less intake of food or illness. Meanwhile, the decline in long-term BB disebakan abnormalities usually fail to grow. The definition of failure to thrive is the inability of infants to achieve BB or TB as a normal growth path. When that happens, then there may be a particular disease or disorder in the child. Or for example, good appetite, but the weight never increases. It is necessary to consult in case your child was experiencing metabolic diseases like diabetes.
Indeed, factors can lead to disease weight babies stunted growth. For instance, because congenital heart disease. The heart has a role that carries blood nutrients. If the heart leak, the body will be starved of oxygen that cause growth disorders due to blood mixed with clean and dirty. In fact, congenital heart disease also affects the suction power so that the intake of infant nutrition or eating less, too.
Disturbance of growth can also be caused diarrhea due to food is not absorbed by the body. In fact, a disease that causes coughing shortness of breath was caused not strong suction power so that the income to eat less. In the end affect the body’s metabolic processes. As a result, little weight was lost.
Digestive problems can also cause growth disturbances. Absorption of food due to disruption of digestive enzymes or bowel movements are not good, or there is damage to the intestinal tuft. Food is not absorbed properly, it will quickly go out again. Or for example, because there are no digestive enzymes of carbohydrate, the carbohydrate substances from the food consumed can not be absorbed by the body.
THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION
Brief already mentioned that the role of nutrition is very important for child growth. In other words, the balance of intake and nutritional needs affecting the little BB is growing normally or not or even continue to shrink instead. Especially for babies first 6 months, the best food and milk main. In fact, the study also noted a big role in breast milk increase weight infants. In the first two months, the increase BB so much faster. Then, from the ages of 6 months, also provide fiber foods that stimulate the growth of the intestine become more optimal and digest better.

Monitoring the Infant Size
Understand the physical size of the standard baby. This is important for early detection of health problems.
There are many ways to monitor your baby’s health. But the easiest and clearest is to measure the physical condition. For that, you need to know the ideal size – so you can expect little kesehataan status. This all can be done through anthropometric measurements (related to the body), such as body weight, body length (height), and head circumference. Well, the Ministry of Health has set the standard or ideal number of nutrition status of infants by weight and wide body, and head circumference size. Of course, age and sex of the baby must also be determined. This standard is a formal decision to guide the doctor in Indonesia to monitor the baby’s health. You also should be “educated” these standards.
Weight Loss by Age (BB / U)
When your weight is not in accordance with age, or no weight gain in a certain period (1-3 months), could be indicative of health problems.
Head Circumference
Many studies have shown, there is a correlation between the size of the baby’s head and brain that are stored in it. That is why, also head circumference measurements should be done regularly and periodically. Moreover, through this measure, roughly the doctor can see the picture later intelligence.
Unfortunately, until now, there is no standard measure of the circumference of the head. However, in several books on child health or Card Towards Healthy (KMS) can be found curves that describe the development of the child’s head circumference size. For example, babies born will have a month head circumference measures approximately 35 cm.
If you are not sure of the status of child nutrition, do not hesitate to consult with your doctor. To remember, all the anthropometric measurements have normal range. So your baby may look thinner than your friend’s baby the same age, weight and sex. This does not mean your child is not normal, because it could be your baby’s body length on average. What is important, as long as your baby is always active, happy, and the characteristics of the growth of normal, do not be too concerned with her figure!

Overweight pregnant, Could Trigger Big Baby
When pregnant every woman experiencing weight gain. Keep in mind, however, increase the weight of not more than 18 kg. What article?
If you are pregnant right now, immediately weighed. Is it still within normal limits? In fact there is no standard rule about how an increase in maternal weight during pregnancy. In other words, every pregnant woman may experience different increases.
However, recent research in the United States recommends that pregnant women monitor weight gain to no more than 18 pounds. The reason is, if more than that, he doubled risk of giving birth big babies. The baby is great according to the Association of American Obstetrics and Gynecology is a baby weighing 4 kilograms or more. While the WHO says, the average weight and normal healthy baby at birth is 3.2 kilograms.
In a study published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, researchers involve participants more than 40,000 American women and their babies. Once analyzed, data showed that one in five women experienced an increase in excess weight during pregnancy, which make it risky double big baby.
The case of gestational diabetes (diabetes caused by pregnancy) is also often the cause of babies are born with excess weight. However, other facts in this study revealed that women who experienced an increase of more than 18 pounds still great potential to have the baby even if he did not have gestational diabetes.
“Given the number of women who experience an increase in weight of more than 18 pounds during pregnancy, the advice to avoid obesity during pregnancy is an important health messages to be distributed,” said Dr. Teresa Hillier, a staff researcher of the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research in Portland, Oregon.
Hillier insisted, bumil that excess weight increases risk having a large baby, which also means the baby’s future risk grows with the problem of being overweight or obese. For pregnant women, fetuses at risk too much complicate the birth process, such as increasing the possibility perobekan or vaginal bleeding, and the possibility to give birth by caesarean section. While the fetus itself at risk of “stuck” in the shoulder or collarbone broken during delivery.
In these studies, Hiller and his team analyzed data from 41,540 medical records of women who gave birth in Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii in the period 1995-2003. A total of gestational diabetes is detected and as much as 5.4 percent of which is handled through diet, exercise, and if necessary be given insulin to control blood sugar levels.
Overall, as many as 20 percent of the bumil gained weight more than 18 pounds of baby. While pregnant women with normal body weight increase in the number of babies less than 12 percent.
The most high-risk groups is that bumil weight increased more than 18 kg and gestational diabetes, which is nearly 30 percent of this group of big babies. While the normal weight as well bumil diabetes who gave birth to a large number of only 13.5 percent range.
Researchers reveal, these findings suggest women should avoid excessive weight increase during pregnancy and pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes, also should try to keep weight gain no more than 18 pounds.
Case of body weight increase during pregnancy had continued to increase during the last two decades, and researchers speculate that it is likely related to the obesity epidemic that occurred since childhood.

Infant Obesity, Mother Smokers
Children born to mothers smoking in early pregnancy are at risk of overweight. During the research, there is no scientific explanation, but there is one theory that children of smoking mothers will experience a disruption in the body since metebolisme in the womb.
Same results found in children whose mothers had no breakfast habits during pregnancy and probably more at risk of obesity.
The study lasted for two decades, which is chaired Professor of the Faculty of Medicine University of Yamanashi Yamagata Zentaro. Approximately 1400 pregnant women in Japan who gave birth in April 1991 and March 1997.
Researchers took subjects approximately 1,000 children aged nine smpai ten years. In the study found, the children were born to pregnant women since three months of pregnancy or in early pregnancy compared to children born of mothers did not smoke.
“The results of this study showed an indication of smoking during pregnancy, although at the beginning or during pregnancy will affect infant health conditions throughout their lives,” Yamagata said.
Then, researchers speculated that as long as the fetus in the womb of nutritional deficiencies, but will store nutrients until she was born. “However, this research still needs to be proved further. Is it necessary to stop smoking,” he said.
There are several studies in the world to know aantara meroko during pregnancy and obesity in children. However, research in the same group. This condition will rarely encountered in children aged yanag more than ten years.
Big Baby Birth Risk
Babies born with weight (BB) on the 4 pounds can be categorized as a giant baby. In medicine, called makrosomia giant baby. The emergence of such infants is caused by several factors. First, the conditional factor or merely suspected causes, such as his parents were big or because it is the environment (nutritional factors) that allows the baby has a big BB. Second, the factors of pregnant women who suffer from diabetes mellitus. Third, maternal factors are overweight (obesity), and final, factor women experience more months of pregnancy.
The problem and quite often happens is the second factor, when pregnant mothers have diabetes mellitus or commonly called gestational diabetes (diabetes caused by pregnancy).
The first few minutes before the birth of a baby was crucial because of the risk to the baby “giant” is hypoglycemia (blood sugar less than 40). In fact, hypoglycemia in infants should not happen, because the greatest threat is the baby could be seizures and hypoxia, ultimately damaging the brain.
In addition to checking the sugar levels on the baby after she was born, the doctor also must be ready to give to the baby sugar intake so that hypoglycemia does not occur. If the condition is still considered healthy, the child is given a sugar drink. But if otherwise, the doctor will give your sugar intake by infusion. Usually, if action is taken immediately at the first hours of a baby is born, after such treatment the baby sugar levels will return to normal. Seizures and hypoxia will not occur. Happy is the child from the threat of brain damage and other vital organs such as kidneys, heart, and digestion.
After the crisis passes, what else should be done by a doctor?
Doctors will monitor and ask parents to keep the baby BB to stay in the normal range, or at least not make it grow. The best way to do this is to give exclusive breastfeeding, and continued with the provision MPASI governance and subsequent food intake is measured.
Remember, milk is the main because the nutrients are in accordance with the needs of the baby at the time. Mothers are advised not to give formula milk because we can not determine how much the baby needs to get ideal nutrition with milk formula. Formula milk protein is also difficult to digest that accumulate in the baby body. Never mind the babies born with weight above the average, normal baby even if given formula milk can turn it into a baby “giant”.
How to giant baby weight is not “too far”?
Giant weight baby should be strictly controlled. BB should not increase more than 1 kg / month in the first three months after birth. Three months later, the maximum increase its BB-600 gr. Three months later decreased again, every month should not exceed 300-400 grams.
Targets will be achieved if the mother gives milk. But if memberikankan formula, breast milk do mix. That is, the day your baby fed on formula in accordance with the recommended dose of doctor. In the evening, let your baby suckle. It does not matter if the milk did not come out.
What else needs to be considered in this big baby care?
Another risk is the giant baby imunologinya too great response, so if the baby is exposed to dengue fever (DB), the risk of crisis is higher than babies who imunologinya normal response. Therefore, infants should be kept completely healthy to avoid diseases due to bacteria, germs, viruses, and so on.
Infants are also prone diabetes mellitus (DM). Because the baby “giant”, fat-fat in the body makes insulin resistance. In effect, the baby’s body is not able to process sugar into the body from food or drink. Finally, the sugar in the blood will increase. In the long run, if the BB was allowed to grow out of control, as in the productive age are likely to suffer stroke, heart, and hiperkolesterol, big enough.
Given the risk of major health problems, can avoid the delivery giant baby?
It could be. For example, the mother keep her BB during pregnancy in normal limits. A study conducted by the Association of American Obstetrics and Gynecology, published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, revealed, pregnant mothers who experienced an increase in body weight over 18 kg still great potential to have the baby even if he did not have gestational diabetes. This is because fat-risk pregnant women 4 to 12 times to give birth to large babies.
The most high-risk groups are pregnant women who experienced an increase in body weight over 18 kg and gestational diabetes, where nearly 30% of this group of big babies. While the normal weight pregnant women have diabetes and who gave birth to large babies ranged in number only 13.5%.
Also, keep in mind that the fetus is too big a risk complicates the process of birth, such as increasing the possibility perobekan or vaginal bleeding, and the possibility to give birth through fault operations. While the fetus itself at risk of “stuck” in the shoulder or collarbone broken during delivery. Therefore, try BB’s mother during labor in normal limits, so BB child when born was also the normal range.
