If you're a new mom you may be're now facing things that you've never done, from changing a diaper, to maintain camaraderie the umbilical cord of your baby. Many new situations can sometimes provoke some uncertainty, especially if you are surrounded by mothers, grandmothers, and other experts in the field of childcare, you get sometimes contradictory advice.
Our culture has many traditions that go back generations ago, about caring for a baby and what to do if you fall ill. They are beliefs that were popular when there was no scientific way to explain the disease. They were practical attributing the causes of the disorders to a mixture of physical and spiritual problems.
When a new member reaches a Latino family is common for older family members offer advice and support to the new mom. For example, the help that is offered to start breastfeeding is very important because in the beginning some women have difficulties. Without family support it is easier to leave, and you know how beneficial it is breast milk for your baby. But there are other practices that may provide you with the best intentions, family members who are closer to the traditional Latin culture that the methods of modern medicine. Especially grandmothers or aunts who have raised many children with these methods without any problems. But these practices have to have a bit of caution, because we now know things not previously know.
Latin culture has many very positive spiritual roots, you really do good to those who believe in them and practice them. But there is another set of beliefs about some diseases that can cause problems, since the treatment does not cure the cause of the disease is applied. In the case of a baby who does not have the defenses or the strength of an adult, you have to be careful with these remedies.
Listen politely councils of elders, speaking of traditions, not the offense calling them something useless: they belong to our rich culture and beliefs are there to listen and share as part of our past, but if any of these practices you think something dangerous, explain why not consider appropriate to apply it to your baby. Invite your family members to come with you to the doctor to show you why some of these practices today have been replaced by other methods.
Respect for our elders and ancient traditions is not incompatible with modern medicine, but for your baby always has the help of your doctor to treat their illnesses and consultation with traditional practices to see if they seem appropriate. If you do not have insurance, your baby can be attended for free.
