The milk of the mother is the best by nature of milk for the new-born baby. But infantile milk became necessary alternately or further to to the breast-feeding. About 150 references is. Baby skyline tower to avoid errors.

Feeding and/or infantile milk?

The most important is to encourage feeding, and to make it easier (60 % mothers nurse at the exit of motherhood, they are no more than 12 % at the end of one and a half month). At the same time, you should not make feel guilty the mothers who wish, cannot nurse or leave.

The choice of the infantile milk is generally offered by the pediatrician or in motherhood, according to the needs of the new-born baby. In the vast majority cases, the babies are born without particular problem and can accept a classical milk of first age.

The multitude of infantile milk

The infantile lacteal food is subjected to a very strict regulation on quantitative and qualitative plan. There are however variations between marks. They are mainly different according to their content of proteins, to the report soluble casein / proteins, from nature and from quantity of carbohydrates (anti-constipation, anti-regurgitations), of their enrichment in some (premature) fatty acids and the addition of meadow or probiotic, elements favourable to the flora intestinal (diarrheas,aropic, dermatitis, allergy).

What milk to choose?

• In the absence of any particular problem, a normal standard infantile milk is obvious (whatever is mark, they all introduce the same caloric density).
• If a baby does not support his milk, it is possible to change it. But attention, if a baby does not go well, you should not systematically accuse the milk. Change in very go of milk type am not either recommended.
• In case of regurgitations, they recommend an infantile said milk anti-regurgitation or AR.
• In case of constipation, they a special milk is chosen chill.
• In case of intolerance or of allergy in the proteins of cow’s milk, they turn to a milk based on hydrolysates pushed of proteins. This milk contains proteins having suffered an extensive hydrolysis, what diminishes their allergenic. In exceptional cases, this pushed hydrolysates draws away nevertheless an allergic reaction. They use substitutes of the milk then based on free amino acids, completely devoid to be able allergenic.

Before the age of 6 months, never of milk of soya in case of allergy in the cow’s milk!

Attention, before the age of 6 months, preparations based on soya are officially strongly disadvised because of possible risks (disturbances of endocrinal development) caused by to the presence of the soya isoflavones. Therefore never of milk of soya before the age of 6 months, even in case of allergy in the cow’s milk.
Besides, these substitutes based on vegetables (soya, almond, chestnut, rice), are incorrectly called ‘milk ‘. It is juices, that moreover, do not comply with the regulation of infantile feeding and that display to main deficiencies.
To note that all milk of other mammals than the cow .

Nose which runs, blocked or that itches? Uninterrupted sneezes, in salvos? Eyes which cry, which go red? It is about the allergic rhinitis, which makes fear the spring to the millions of allergic persons in pollens.

Allergy and allergic rhinitis, it is what?

Allergy and allergic rhinitis are at the origin of very embarrassing symptoms which the majority of the persons concerned do not succeed in relieving: nose which runs permanently, blocked nose, difficulties in breathing, sneezes in salvos, nose which scratches, eyes which sting, watering of the eyes, etc.
All these signs are not serious, they are even recovering from the banal. However, this triad of symptoms corrupts considerably the quality of life because sleep is unsettled with notably numerous nocturnal waking, the installation of a tiredness and the demonstration of headaches. Such consequences reverberate directly on the activities of leisures, professional or even daily.

Why allergic rhinitis also makes also mourn eyes?

Allergic rhinitis attains the nose mainly. Nasal symptoms are due to an inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane which draws away a blockage and a congestion of the nose.
But very often, the symptoms of allergic rhinitis exceed the sphere ORL and spread very quickly in the ocular region. On the whole, 66 % persons attained by allergic rhinitis feel a discomfort linked to eyes, which itch and water. In these conditions, the doctors speak about allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. According to the strictness and the frequency of ocular signs, they also speak about allergic conjunctivitis. Symptoms are then more intense: eyes which go red, tickle, cry, of eyelids which swell, with notably an embarrassing feeling of sand in eyes.

It would seem that the presence of a dog in the limit domicile the development of allergic diseases. Indeed, fact to have a dog would diminish the appearance of sensitivity in respiratory allergens as pollens.

In case of allergy, ousting of allergens

The solution which is obvious to the allergic persons is to evict one or several allergens to which they are sensitive. If it is sometimes possible to limit them, it is on the other hand impossible to eliminate a big quantity of respiratory allergens: pollens, dusts, tobacco, hair of animals, etc. and treatments are sometimes necessary.

Prevention of allergy, recommendations which evolve

Traditionally, to limit the development of an allergy, some measures were recommended: no animals in the room, no carpet, no picnic nor of promenade in the campaign during the pollen peaks, no exhibition in passive tobacco addiction, etc. Some of these measures are called into question, notably the presence of an animal in the domicile.

The presence of a dog diminishes sensitivity in other respiratory allergens

Concerning domestic animals, knowledge advanced. To limit the development of allergies, it was recommended for a long time to avoid having animals with hair, dogs and chats. It would seem that the dogs are not harmful, or even rather advantageous.
In this German study, 3.000 children were followed by birth until the age of 6 years. Their living conditions and their contacts with various allergens were analysed with the aid of questionnaires filled by the parents. A relation was so highlighted: fact to have a dog at home diminishes the sensitivity of the children in other respiratory allergens. So, the children who live with a dog are less sensitive to pollens and to other inhaled allergens.
He is even too early to recommend a dog in all homes, where from necessity to follow studies in this direction.

Domestic animals are advantageous to all family

Undoubtedly, domestic animals are likely to bring in term of health to their master and to all family a lot. The dogs, particularly, give a company on which it is possible to count any time, what reinforces morale, they impose you daily promenades, what makes make physical activity, and diminish risks of respiratory allergy.

An adviser in internal environment does not go to relooker your inside. On the other hand, after an audit of the quality of the air of your habitat, he can give you advice customised to limit, or even evict allergens.

Your health is linked to the quality of the air of your habitat

There is a very strong link between the quality of the air of our habitat and our health. At the same time, the allergic persons and particularly the asthmatic, are very sensitive to internal pollution and to presence of different types of allergens.
And these are not easy to eliminate, explaining the increasing number of allergic persons on one hand and the fact that the allergic are more and more often badly controlled (their treatment is not sufficient to remove symptoms).
It is from this type of official report that a new profession developed about fifteen years ago: the medical advisers in internal environment. Having endowed with a double training (engineer in habitat and professional of health), such advisers move in the domicile of the allergic patient to accomplish an audit of the quality of the air of their environment and to lavish advice customised to evict allergens as dust mites.
This type of expertise allows to get rates of ousting of more important allergens, what reverberates apparently on the health of the allergic with in concrete terms a reduction among visits immediately for asthma and falling medicinal catch.

With spring, the season of respiratory allergies returns. And as though to sneeze all day long was not enough, for the allergic, the night is often a bad time to be crossed.

Respiratory allergies and sleep

A recent study on allergies and sleep showed that allergic rhinitis, one of the most frequent respiratory allergic affections, was very often accompanied with sleep troubles. These would be caused, across a still badly known mechanism, by a reaction of the brain to the inflammation which touches cloths of the nose. This phenomenon comes to get worse an already unpleasant situation at first …

Even more embarrassing symptoms at night

Indeed, the respiratory allergies, which are accompanied by important production of phlegm, of cough, of cloths congested in the nose and in the throat, sometimes seem linked to prevent sleep to begin, cough or sneezes do not help to fall asleep. And even once they succeeded in closing the eye, as the nose is crimson and blocked, it is possible to breathe only by the mouth. And this breathing is not optimum on long length: congestion gets worse, mucous membranes become dry, or even painful. The person suffering from allergy is uncomfortable, thirsty, and wakes up very easily. The result of every it is an unsettled sleep, which returns the all the more difficult days with tiredness, difficulties in concentrating and possibly petulance.

How to spend good nights in spite of allergies?

The first stage, it is to make sure that the allergies are under control. It means to consult a competent allergist and to follow the treatment of possible bottom which will have been prescribed. Some medicine anti-allergy are likely to draw drowsiness away, it is useful to decide on an hour in which you take them according to this side effect. Moreover, some “knack” is recommended by the specialists and the persons affected by allergies:

- Change sheets regularly to avoid that allergens as dust mites or dust pile up there.

- Wash hair in the evening to get rid of allergens kept in hair in the course of the day, especially for allergies in the pollen.

- Take the time, before going to lie down, to make a soft rinsing of the nose with a nasal specialised spray (not willy-nilly medicinal). It will free you from allergens which are already in your respiratory tract and will improve the humidity of mucous membranes.

- To raise the height of the head of the bed of some centimetres makes breathing easier (but aggravate the problems of legs).

- To drink enough throughout the day returns the easier and more liquid phlegm to be evacuated.

In the past, the desensitizing of the persons attained by allergy, notably by allergic rhinitis, imposed series of injections. Since a dozen years, it is enough to deposit drops under the language . A true revolution in the treatment of allergic rhinitis! What are the key points to be known?

1) At the persons who suffer from allergic rhinitis, the sublingual desensitization way reduces symptoms and use of medicaments. The symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis are diminished about 37 %, the nasal blockage of 59 % and 50 % watering of the eyes (1).

2) The improvement of symptoms is supported several years after sublingual desensitizing. But it is necessary to know that the relapse will be all the more precocious as the length of desensitizing was short.

3) It is especially efficient in case of allergy in pollens, but also used in case of allergy in dusts of home and in dust mites.

4) Before undertaking a desensitizing, it is necessary to assess allergy to identify the allergen in reason.

5) Desensitizing risks being ineffectual in case of poly sensibilisation. She contacts therefore allergic subjects in a specific allergen.

6) The sublingual desensitization way is tolerated well and seldom requires a stopping of the treatment. The most common reactions are local, they happen principally at the beginning of treatment and are of light intensity in moderate: buccal edema, oral pruritus(itches), edema of the language, annoyance of the throat and sometimes prurit ocular.

7) To the asthmatic, the results of desensitizing are more modified (2). Nonetheless, an improvement of symptoms (bronchial hyperreactivity) is got.
