it's both ms b again this is mrs
gilda france a mother who is a registered day is devoting her life to trying to help parents raise happy healthy a because that is the title of my latest book how to raise a happy healthy baby and making sit on the waiting room table of your obstetrician because over a hundred us citizens in new york and does ireland have received copies of it at their place of the request and there are hundreds of its own post the coastal maybe some of you have seen it now we're going to talk today about two subjects and they intertwine so close to me that i'm going to divide the talk into two parts and i can't put that line right down through the middle it's going to be about illnesses and accidents and police that they go on to discuss if the protection against communicable diseases they are project projects were sparse us to demonize babies so they cannot get certain diseases
that doctors know what they got adopted the pediatrician is the one who gives them some of them are combined with other protection some of them i give him sing like someone of a given a series of injections others i given just once and then perhaps repeated but this is what i want to emphasize that nobody no mother has been really a right not to have a child immunized against everything that they know they can immunize against why do i say that well let me tell you a little story which is perfectly true i was only traveling up the river one day and did meet somebody in the state office of the kingston new york delightful conversation with a young man and he said well i have such a wonderful baby a beautiful little boy isaac i'm just devoted to have it said that the thing is that the doctor said my wife cannot have any more
children so we're just going to make everything of this one little boy what i have i got two years later to that same place and i went in and i bought a different man there and i said oh where it was disowned sell and this man looked at me and a rather cryptic he said didn't you know a nice of wine know what is i didn't know well you say it's a sad story that is and i'll tell you as long as you really had a baby you know he had a little boy i suggest he said well his wife was a religion which would not allow any doctor to come into the house that would not have the child taken to any doctor and would not allow any immunize asian against disease the little boy develop diphtheria and died and he said is that a true story just doesn't
happen i tell it because he was a lovely man and he was so proud of that baby and i do wish oh how i wish that every woman who believes that she won't read about it in the house and that had children cannot be taken care of i wish you just stay single not as devastatingly an old may be the best thing that could happen after all this is not an isolated case i know that you have read in says the paper where the family would not willing to have the child taken care are and where the child died or they say they'd rather let a dive into how about the can into the soul whatever is that cases ought never to be because after all a life of a child with far to pressures to throw away for some reason they believe that they shouldn't have them i don't know i can understand about is to educate the meat but anyway the production gets busier big event at annie freud won every rejection is needed
now these two diseases to diseases do which i think every child should be exposed before he reaches his genes are hot teams i'll tell you what they are and then you can speak to your pediatrician about it if you have a little boy asked the pediatrician whether or not it would be all right for you to let him get the disease which it involves a disease that if he has it after he's twelve years old may make him i'm able to have a child in other ways mobs in a teenager or young man for the phrase political space time because you once have advanced and will cost of military and so a great many doctors say to the parents if you can't get counted to get much by these eight or nine years old or ten but all means do because i'm very innocent disease
so far as it mocks itself is consigned but if it and the aides after the adolescent period then it's back to have that result that is the body's and i had gotten the dials dale can get german measles safeway it's very in and it's a disease that doesn't hate the minute there's no protection against either marks on german measles it though to go out and contracts german measles before she's twelve years old i was suggested to past deducted if you don't think he doesn't think it'd be a good idea behind the gadget get them because they're not they don't lay them up really dead for very long and once they had the overweight now why do i suggest that because in the lawn last world war soldiers and some of the girls over in germany had children
and it was a very as dramatic terrible epidemic of german measles andy you and all that more than fifty percent of those babies the whole ball and so horribly disfigured that if they live below monstrosities and many of them did not live so knowing that that is a factor has been fooled or over again i would suggest that you speak to your doctor about the possibility of deliberate exposure to those two diseases now supposing that illness comes and you find the baby is very lackadaisical not responsive to your talking to him he acts restless he may our restless you may cry a great deal of you may be very quiet there are all kinds of indications of illness if it's a deviation from his normal attitude then be suspicious that the child is ill a definite silent donors would
be if the bomb attack or peer review is just food or a deterrent his head back and talk back the fallback of awe as if he would just get a cell phone and nervousness and he couldn't stand it couldn't stand himself or anybody else or at have diarrhea or if she's constipated these are some of the symptoms or to a fine and if you find them they will put that baby into bed and keep them there and called about given no food you give a little water perhaps but given no food and keep it was glad as you can and do not get excited because your ex fact that will be felt by him or not only aggravate the condition of the child we already be a measurable now you're never visited the mint in bed and addicted again in cleveland so that when the data comes as the republicans are going to call him that he wont find everything
nice indeed and trim don't let the data think you need that the baby because you don't i know what the doctor might not know it became abundant a terrible mess and didn't realize it too vague so excited do they hadn't had time what taken time to clean em out the death toll for the doctor and dedicated so and have a say a near the bed so that he can sit there and feel the little baby and talk to him it's to him now that's what you had to do if he has backed in our calendars and if he has either want whatever there is to be done for him you must write down on a pad as the doctor talks to you over the phone you must have a pad and pencil there when the duck becomes so he gave me the directions never identified those dances dr
member cause the membrane to trick and it's actually is so when you're worried about the baby and you might easily get mixed up and do the wrong thing and it might have a very bad at that you were to take the doctors' notes when he gives them over the phone what every says over the phone and also when she comes in there you have to listen to him very carefully and follow them and write them down and that isn't enough be sure to read them back and have the data be sure they're correct because i had been through that experience myself i have been so upset that i couldn't remember aqueduct away and so be sure and do those things now when the telephone the doctor before you don't want to do this take a pad and a pencil and right at the top of it your name and address know why would you do that we'll believe it or not i have repeatedly no patients who have caught up a doctor and they all got the taliban invention of all this and
that's as all lost out missions doing everything and who is and he doesn't know where to go and he doesn't know who the president is and then the data doesn't come and they and their mother thinks of the doctors neglect to go hard and there's a great deal of trouble in the baby needs a doctor i still put on the top of your pad your name and address largely on the telephone always have the numbers of doctors may be reached that he may have to have three different numbers you may have an etching say that he made me where you can be reached if you call it that suicide is the acting senate can tell you where to call him haven't those things right down they are on the pad right by your telephone so that there never will be wasted time and that you would not get excited because you've got to remain calm the data cannot understand you if you talked excitedly and get confused and then repeats itself
odd cut addict just out as you may still write down exactly what you were going to tell him also have on that little had that's where the doctor's name is also have they out the name and address of your drug test with his telephone number because very often a doctor will not be able to come immediately i just say one of my deal and a mature job as i know just like they should have at it because you haven't said no what that's one way the other reason is that if you want to get something up on the drug store on the way and that you know what's your drug use is greater drugs is located who he is and then you can go in charge it to you and that's a pattern that was overlooked tips with diane lane through years and i want to do just didn't think of them if you don't want to fall and it's all right it's all funny helpful to have the legit i think i want to tell you
about my own experience and i was a teenage mother i tried dr hu with an obstetrician a pediatrician a general practitioners surgeon all in one because it had left the city and moved into the country and he brought my baby into the world and everything was all right everything was lovely getting along beautifully sweet born in april and he said to me now i want you to put our doors every day in her carriage and the bear out they are law has evolved to stay and then bring them in to feed you and take her out the game changer that but so i did that get into april or october came and i thought it was going to get a little cold and i said to him and i believe are out now he's and he has a lovely scenes content leave avandia and just at the dea i'm going to do it or brought out in canada out of dollars so my baby lot but come
january i must have stepped up and my technique now remember i was not a nice man i was a neo fight of the neo feit i knew nothing about they began the only thing i knew about a baby was that i wanted one and my husband wanted one and we had one and she was a darling at all i knew that's the period that they want nobody because i wouldn't say i had everything else to lay in seoul one day a jaguar apparatus and are never know just what happened whether the covers middle of the weather the breeze give up too much on what was the matter but i brought it in and what she wasn't right that was something wrong well they get shot that little child and i was terrified the first basic evidence that that i knew nothing about missing that missing pets sick boy's that all be about whatever the age might be i wasn't there the breadth of that so i got a doctor and the doctor came and he prescribed he told me to rule
out sheets of goldwater reagan made sheets written a lot of cold water and rapid they began well i thought i was going to kill her and i'm next night is at the border they went on to see what i had the most wonderful mother in law a beautiful mother and all she was so sweet and she said now listen dolly your doctor wouldn't tell you to want to do this way if it weren't right go ahead and do it and i said no mother i said i'm sure it is going to die if she dies it be my fault and mother said no go right ahead and do what you got to go to do so why did i let me tell you the end they're markedly shot and the job that well and i was so delighted and so happy side tell you that so that you would never be afraid to do whatever the data tells you to do and do it exactly as he got to do now speaking of that on your your bookshelf on your bookshelf there should be plenty of books that tell you how to give home base in play out
and how to carry out the doctor's orders there are some which are called before the doctor comes and that tells you what to do in wages you how to get ready and what to for brian for that that becomes the others don't i wanted to act about the leaves and if you watch lists of those books so it's you can go to live very empowered them i should be very happy to have you got a telephone telephone know write to us here in care of this dazed the bureaucrats in tears days know which i'm speaking i was then do the latest us and in the midst of that type of book the center of this debate about which you want and childcare whether applaud the boys are afterward now when you've gotten all the details written down and adopt doctors been told about them he will ask you what to do what you have done and you would tell him this now listen very carefully i have
taken the temperature oil and recorded and is this about take effect only if you can get it at the baby doesn't have a diarrhea if it is not possible for you to get ready the martyr and that the baby is gone and in the little socket that comstock and christiane down and hold of the mileage of epoch twice as long as you would if you take my rectum now the book that i've spoken about how to have a happy healthy baby so is exactly how britain has picked says it shows how the temperatures should be taken it shows how they the mileage is to be shaken bowers shows how to read it and it shows how it was built the mild and a rectal thermometer and by the way if the wreck of the moment it's used in a bed under the babies and but i'm hoping that you will have taken before this child care cost is that i've advocated you're taking it you know perfectly well almost did it not quite as well as
i do how to take temperature is how to record them how to take care of the thermometer how depleted all that don't do it as happen and the child a red cross clarify the teaching students said i could sterilize that the mom or the cricket nat is you don't know this theme in the tea kettle you can imagine what happened it broke when all over the floor so don't do that you line the technique an anthology by catholic know you're going to write down on this pad the temperature will visit before you talked about them i do you're going to write down the damage your the symptoms read that restlessness all the others i mentioned also weather that seemed to be any evidence of backing off stomach ache or ear ache on it but the outspoken about how bout morning is the baby not crying but justin moaning all of the double sound if you ever hear it is awful or c coughing or refusing to eat
ice eyes running or isn't always is your rash if they added just dancing write down all those things and have them ready so that when the data comes he will know what did expect an already come see him be able to tell you what to do and how to do it now that for the illnesses now how about big accidents what are they caused by that accidents have because buy happiness but into electric outlets by radios that the babies get treated on the blog an ad that trained on and they touch with a little wet fingers with electric wires exposed to wear when handlers and teasing pets the cat scratched and the strange dog's bite and a toys of the two is on the floor make them fall they're elected estimates which they make kind of pond often get high and a bathrobe as though the
dangers payrolls and capped tooth paste and pigeon detected in the kitchen but they got the main even in the bathroom ms denise for you now is that when the dr coughlin you call about that there's been an accident you are the show and tell exactly what happened did any of these things happen and i've spoken are all on a good day at all or was there a brain or a scold ugly poured hot water over onto him from stole all hot food perhaps nobody gets gadget it matches as he swallowed everything he choked on all how it above all things got into the medicine cabinet and swallowed are some drugs that are dangerous part to have even aspirin even cathartic anything you know the little round pegs looked like candy the babies don't have a most beautiful way of getting up and getting hold of these and each individual about and then when you say that one of all of them i didn't die really the
baby they say so be sure i know what has happened that are protecting locks that you can put on the medicine cabinets at a very good thing for you to get one of those and use them the show that you do not keep the big a razor blade to husbands razor blade and in the cabinet where they can get at them people young box so that the baby showed up and that dog cabinet thought it wouldn't come as little fingers all seeing that his fingers our lives and says is it gives victims up with needles there are all sorts of acts is that they didn't have i'm telling you these village you and all that goes of things might happen now supporting the child falls very badly pummeled oh it isn't out of the window was a boy's evolves all the way downstairs was huge huge huge huge rush and pick them up no never once looked at him very carefully to see if you think
any bones of unbroken now do you know the devil is routine of simple fracture and a compound fracture it isn't avant a broken in the skin is not punch it that a simple fracture is going to reopen and you had gone through this game yet but you may compound it by picking that baby up and pursue those audibles through the skin i heard of a baby just the other day who had fallen and cracked his little skull and his mother grabbed him up and beautiful little pink he got the skull bones right into his brain and have a terrible time you got to die that he had laid him down and locked in their covered up the rape now and then had someone come in and look at him before he was picked up she probably could have saved that i'm telling it is not a terrible idea but just to tell you so that you be sure to be careful and never had anything happen to be regretting making his part koppelman it was you possibly can let him live
there get someone to stay with an aunt called for help because it's very important that you do with that call by health and the show and he's taken care up as he should be and then have come around all of it it's the things that he needs to take and give them protection star of cuban cell acute it i certainly was attacked a good time with a star cotton swabs up with that way and then you can use them in iowa bag and have them where there'd be all taken care of and you can use an adult or you died i listed not told to do in a rigorous bluegrass did you something else but if you're going to report a happening to the doctor about bobby and a teenager where jobless rate himself tell what happened where it happened where there's an intriguing and answer all the questions of the director su coherently do not get too confused now remember that you could write to me and how i'm glad to give you
the and says but if theyre not medical and i'll be very happy to do anything i can buy an idealist the books and the bar that they have you listen in the next time when you're going to speak again on the same subject and all the way and so you're not really old democrat and his years there really has been addressed the list of books of any they did you want provided they deal with child care i'm very glad you listened and i wish you'd ask your friends to listen in the next time so that they can hear it and get some law grad from a to get some help from it too because it is a very important subject that accidents in the illness and i'll talk about hospitalization of the baby next time and hamlet's care and things like that and when you give a baby eighteen carat hole where if you're going to see you in the hospital i will talk about these things to for you so that you can
know how to behave yourself and how to take care of your child when he is at home or whether he is in the hospital with gaza to places have two different situations in the accident or the illness causes the baby do have to go in the hospital it's going to be very difficult for a child to go into hospital and be left without them other app to be new to the mother all this time but that has to be done and i don't think if you were the mother that she would have to worry about it because always even when i was in training which is by long time ago the babies i made a great deal of innovative done that had far they got and the babies there is different from being a home where that all alone and they can have companionship if they're able to have it and yet they're not able to have that the nation haven't even at home so he would be all right to take to the hospital if you take a baby to the hospital
and he's old enough to understand our number of babies of all ages are taking the hospital someone had two tiny did know of them understood they're not but if you take a baby the hospital's old enough to understand the show and had to go to see him regularly because it's about but the decaying when visiting hours come around and one child has a visitor and another child has nine and he's old enough to understand and immediately thinks window where my people why did they come it and they bring come to see and you find that very unhappy in that way then another thing that will happen if they don't come off enough the child would about the indifference and perhaps a button nosed on the pad which i make about very much height and if a parent can go he should go she should go he do that bothered me going the evening every single day and see that style because that baby is not some act is provided
he's old enough to know what's going on across the novel ivanhoe that nobody who has directed a hospital acted by the gods really doesn't know the difference and that quite often the case at babies there and have been taking care of their bigger taught art that anything wrong with them that has to be taken care of and that happens and it does make a difference when the mother goes to see the baby on that because image i've been taken care of and everything is all right if you're going to keep the baby at home and have a nice for the baby be sure to have a good guys who'd been trained right at the days and there's had been trained in baby care possible because she would be more understanding a more sympathetic but do not expect a registered nice ever to do housework that's one thing that makes a great difference in the way they feel towards you don't even expecting due to water dry the dishes accept them once they
themselves du soleil because that this was a long awaited days was they allowed to do that that you can get practically says who are going to take care of the job i would do all those things i'm very happy that i do listen to me and i hope to listen to the decks broadcast that you're going to get and be sure to let me know about the books and tell all your friends to listen in the cosby of feel is going to be helpful to you and want to do the best we can to make you the mother are a happy healthy baby
