help infant has autism please help

PREVENTIONISBETTERTHANCURE

 

I am a childminder and have cared for a number of children that have experienced diarrhoea. 

There are so many bugs going around the toddlers, plus people are generally more social these days. We are all sending our children to nurseries, playgroups,toddlers etc. to encourage our children to become social.

The concern was -  that when a toddler has diarrhoea -

 the bad bacteria will continue to multiply if they are fed milk during the illnesss -

They need clear fluids to keep them hydrated and protect their brain - aviod cows milk at this time, if at all possible

Cows milk multiplies the bad bacteria -

Please advise other parents with new babies and anyone with a child specifically under 3yrs of age - if their baby/child becomes ill with diarrhoea they must aviod giving the baby/ child cows milk until they recover. use alternatives if you have to - plus ask your G.P. for dietry advice. 

Wierd thing is -  yoghurt contains all the good bacteria to put the balance back in the gut - so aviod the cows milk but still try yoghurt, you can get pro biotic drinks too, but advice is only use them for a child when they are ill, as children don't normally need probiotic products in their daily diet.

 I phone Morrisons customer care helpline - they were really helpful - gave advice re: consuming probiotics and yoghurt if under 3yr old and during pregnancy

 

 

Please spread the word - thanks

  • yes rash is me & big feet in my mouth too

    I always in a rush to get something finished

    but find myself doing ten things at once

    thats what ADD does for me :-(

    I just want to help people - but you have all helped me more!!

    Thank you

    I have so much to learn - where is good place to start?

    I look all over and get distracted I cant focus on one topic.

    The infant loves animals so i am setting all them out for play, hide some in shredded paper see what happens, encourage hide & seek play. plus try singing action songs at home in a smaller group.

    I will put the spray foam out each day see if will de-sensitise, I will model how to play with it, if this causes upset I will remove it & replace with chalk & paper or try paints.

    any ideas pls?

     - the older sibling has asd, was often upset, we used a daily photo planner which helped straight away- realised the child needed to sit in the front seat of car next to adult, not next to a potentialy noisy child - the child let us in to their world,lined up cars, spining things,throwing things over the fence, my neighbour keeps throwing stuff back bless em, plus the child had lots intervention & support which helped a great deal. lots of activities with photos, sharing games with other children, reading stories, it took some time before the child could join in the toddler group song time, child started off in another room, each week we encouraged him gently to move closer to the rest of the group. there seems to be no rule book with asd  - the younger sibling will be totally different. that is if it is asd??

    our first thought was maybe prob with the ears and balance, but lots other behaviours have occured symultaneously, the loss of balance plus the sensory issues, the deteriation of social skills, the upset if routines change & hand flapping is there something else this could be? as there is family member with asd too.

    we have to leave it to the referral see what they recommend, although it may be some months before the infant gets the two to three year HV check. we will push for sooner!
