“Touch is ten times stronger than verbal or emotional contact, and it affects damned near everything we do.  No other sense can arouse you like touch… We forget that touch is not only basic to our species, but the key to it.”

- Dr. Tiffany Field

Touch(觸摸)比語言或情感接觸強十倍，它幾乎影響了我們做的每件事。沒有別的感覺可以像Touch一樣喚起你...我們忘了Touch不只是我們人類的基礎，更是我們需要的關鍵。- Dr. Tiffany Field

國內外育兒資訊落差及影響 (新增《從零歲開始》相關內容)

你覺得台灣和國外在育兒資訊方面，落差大嗎？這是個大問題嗎？

如果你多看一些英語系國家的育兒資訊，你不難發現台灣和國外有些差異，特別是對於Cry It Out (CIO, 哭泣式睡眠訓練)的看法 ，國外的育兒資訊和台灣差異很大，這是個令人擔憂的問題。

由維基百科的CIO定義可以看出，CIO包含任何讓嬰兒哭一段時間的睡眠訓練，所以台灣的百歲訓練，或有人美化為引導寶寶自行入睡、有限度哭泣、讓寶寶放電等說法，都屬於CIO。(註：幾乎所有的訓練專家的CIO方法都是有限制時間的讓寶寶哭，所以訓練家宣稱自己只是讓寶寶有限度的哭泣，和CIO不一樣，只是一種唬弄人的錯誤說法。)

維基的說明指出，CIO是Dr.Emmett Holt於1895年提出的 (CIO 118歲！可以再古早一點...)，手指輕彈，快轉91年，真正讓CIO在美國流行的Dr. Richard Ferber出現了，其著作《

Solve Your Child's Sleep Pro
blems》於1986年出版，強力主打CIO，所以CIO又被稱為Ferber Method。

而讓台灣掀起CIO風潮的百歲醫師一書，其書中所謂的百歲醫師名為Dr. Leila Daughtry-Denmark，則是在1982年出版了《Every child should have a chance》，來推廣CIO，但在國外其名氣不如Dr. Ferber。

寶寶咬奶防治 (baby請不要咬奶頭)

Bites Breast

原文出處：http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/feeding-eating/breastfeeding/common-problems/bites-breast    

Our five-month-old bites while breastfeeding and it hurts. How can I stop her? Babies do bite the breast that feeds them. As soon as those pearly whites begin to painfully bother her gums (can begin as early as three months), she naturally turns to her favorite pacifier – mom. What’s even more startling is the irritating little nip that comes just as you are feeling the effects of your natural tranquilizing hormones, as if being jarred out of a light sleep. Try these suggestions to lessen biting:

我家的5個月大的小怪獸在吸奶時會咬我，怎麼阻止她？
寶寶會咬她的食物來源nene，當珍珠白的小牙開始痛痛地冒出牙齦時 (可能在3個月大時就發牙)，她自然地尋求她最愛的安撫物－老媽。更令人驚奇的是惱人的輕咬會讓妳感受到妳自然的鎮定賀爾蒙效果。如果妳小睡時被咬的不爽了，試試這些建議來減少被咬：

寶寶夜晚哭泣的可能原因

 

原文網址：http://evolutionaryparenting.com/reasons-babies-cry-and-wake-at-night/

 

By Tracy G. Cassels

With all the press scrambling to tell parents just to leave their kids to cry-it-out at night (see my response to the latest here), I thought I’d just present a few of the many reasons a baby or toddler may be waking and/or crying in the night.  And why you should respond.

許多媒體隨便建議父母應該讓孩子在晚上接受cry it out哭泣式睡眠訓練 (對此請看我的回應)，我要提出一些寶寶晚上會醒來哭的原因，以及為何你應該要回應哭泣。

1. They are hungry.  Especially younger babies need to nurse frequently and expecting them to sleep long stretches without food is actually starving them and messing with their ability to regulate how much they eat at a given time.

寶寶餓了。特別是年幼寶寶需要常常喝奶，期待寶寶睡久一點而不喝奶實際上會造成挨餓，並妨礙他調整一段時間該吃多少的能力。

早期睡眠訓練的風險證明

Proving the Risk of Harm in Early Sleep Training

作者：Tracy G. Cassels

A new review paper out in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioural Pediatrics[1] has me hearing choirs, seeing the clouds part, and sun shining down (and I live in Vancouver, BC so it’s not something I see very often) over finally seeing someone address the issue of sleep training in young children by summarizing ALL the research (albeit only until six months of age).  This new review paper examines all articles from 1993 to August 2013 that examined the effects of sleep training on infants younger than six months of age.
一篇新的review paper(文獻探討)最近發表於Journal of Developmental and Behavioural Pediatrics[1] (發展與行為小兒科學期刊)，它讓我聽見了唱詩班，看到飛雲散開，陽光照射而下 (因為我住在溫哥華，所以這不是我常看到的天氣。)，終於有人發表早期睡眠訓練對於年幼孩童影響的研究總結 (雖然只有6個月大以下的部分)。這篇新的review paper檢視了從1993年到2013年8月的所有文章，來檢視早期睡眠訓練對於未滿6個月大的嬰兒有何影響。

分段式擠奶 (用後段奶讓寶寶增加熱量攝取)

Separating Your Milk to Help Your Baby Grow

原文網址：http://www.chop.edu/export/download/pdfs/articles/pfe/separating-milk-help-baby-grow.pdf

在另一篇網誌 “瓶餵與親餵的不同 & 如何改善瓶餵” 中，有提到Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (費城兒童醫院)有一個很棒的教學文件，教你如何分段擠出前段奶和後段奶，本篇就來看費城兒童醫院的教學。

The amount of fat in your breast milk can vary during a pumping session and at different times of the day. If your baby doesn’t get enough fat, he may have trouble gaining weight. If you are pumping more milk than your baby needs each day, you can increase the fat in your milk to help your baby grow.
母乳中脂肪含量會在一次擠奶期間以及一天不同時段變化。如果你的寶寶沒吃到足夠的脂肪量，他可能會有體重增加不足的問題，如果你每天擠出的母乳量多於寶寶的需求，你可以增加你的母乳脂肪含量來幫助寶寶成長。
