The baby, without the risk of choking and swallowing a piece of unground food, chews on a mesh filled with it of a special invention - a nibbler. Simply put, this is a special mesh for safe chewing, where the product is placed. Using this device helps to teach the baby to chew.
It is sometimes called a fruittaker. It is more correct to call the device feeder. The name comes from the English feeder (feeder, feeder, breadwinner). Initially, feeders were sold in Russia under the Nibbler brand of the Nuby company. So the name "nibbler" appeared.
The device helps the child learn a new form of food and allows the mother to find time for other activities or leisure. After all, a daughter or son will be happy to chew a net with a treat, and at this time, mom will have time to cook dinner or enjoy the silence.
Attention: never leave a child with a nibbler unattended.
There are two types of nibblers available in children's stores:
- Nibbler with mesh made of special fabric
- Nibbler with silicone mesh
Both types are available in different colors with ring or wand handle. Which one to choose, each mother decides for herself.
Feeder with fabric mesh looks like this:
Nibbler consists of a replaceable mesh, fixing ring, ergonomic handle.
In some devices, there is an internal lid or a water container built into the handle, which, when cooled, allows you to keep the product fresh longer. The cap-cap is put on the grid itself and tightly adjoins the handle.
Replacement mesh can be used up to 3 months. After it is recommended to replace it. Replacement nets for nibbler are sold separately or in a set of several pieces. They are white and colored, universal or for a particular brand of nibbler. Mesh parts are made of durable and safe materials, do not contain harmful substances. Replaceable mesh is securely attached to the plastic handle. Pieces of food will not pass through the holes in the grid.
Silicone mesh feeder looks like this:
Silicone feeder (nibbler) It is also made from environmentally friendly materials. This mesh is easy to clean. It is necessary to replace the mesh if it is damaged or purchase a new nibbler. When the first teeth appear, a child chewing with zeal can gnaw through the silicone part.
Many moms find the silicone nibbler more practical and comfortable.
What can be put in a nibbler
At a time when our grandmothers were still young mothers, children put some bread in a piece of gauze, wrapped it up and gave it to chew. It was the first kind of mesh for chewing. With the help of a modern nibbler, the baby can enjoy many products:
- Fruit: apple, banana, pear, avocado
- Berries
- Fresh or cooked vegetables: carrots, cucumbers, courgettes, etc.
- A piece of boiled meat
- Drying or bread
Attention: put in the nibbler products suitable for the age of the baby.
How to use the nibbler
Before giving it to your baby, follow a few simple steps:
- After separating the nibbler into parts, wash with hot water and soap or a special detergent for washing children's dishes
- Rinse thoroughly with boiled water. This should be done after each use of the mesh
- Put the prepared food into the mesh by screwing the lid with handle tightly
- If the fixture has a liquid cooling container, you can first place the nibbler briefly in the refrigerator (not the freezer).
This will keep the fruit or vegetable fresh longer - We offer the baby to take the nibbler in the pen, and the mesh in the mouth. Keeping an eye on the baby does not choke on fruit juice or saliva
- After use, wash every part of the fixture, paying particular attention to the mesh itself
- Cleaned feeder should be dried
Attention: Over time, the fabric of the mesh may darken or stain with berry juice. In this case, replace the grid.
At what age can you give your baby a Nibbler
You can give a Nibbler to your baby after weaning. To avoid allergic reactions, you need to give products that the child has already met in a puree state.
Traditionally, complementary foods should be started at 6 months of age. It is this age that is indicated on the packaging of the feeder. However, due to individual characteristics, the doctor recommends that some babies start complementary foods from 4 to 5 months. Such children can start using the nibbler earlier.
Tip: when choosing a nibbler for a baby under six months old, it is worth choosing a smaller model. For a 6 month old, buy a larger chew net.
Nibbler Safety Rules
The nibbler is a safety device, but it is essential to supervise the baby while using it and follow some safety precautions:
Advantages of using a nibbler
Every baby will sooner or later learn to chew food, but a nibbler will speed up this process. Here are the undoubted advantages of its use:
- Chewing on the nibbler mesh, the baby is safe, and the parents are calm. He will not choke on a large particle. The baby gnaws on the mesh, turning its contents into mush and sucking out the juice
- In difficult times of teething, the feeder will be a great helper.
The braided mesh massages baby's itchy and swollen gums, making it easier for baby teeth to come in. Place chilled fruit slices in the net: this will relieve the pain of the child's sore gums - Convenient to use the nibbler while walking. Sitting in the stroller, the baby enjoys his favorite fruit, and the mother does not worry that he will choke
- The bright colors and details of the nibbler are pleasing to the eye and attract the attention of the child, bringing joy
- Nibbler is very convenient to use. All parts are easy to clean
Is it worth teaching a baby to use a pacifier
In addition to the nuances of starting complementary foods, all mothers are interested in the issue of using a pacifier. Should the baby be forced to suck on a pacifier or under no circumstances should it be given? You can often hear from grandmothers and girlfriends that this is extremely harmful. Is it so?
Even in ancient times, there were various prototypes of a modern latex or silicone pacifier: pebbles smoothed with water, leather teats from the udder of cows, shreds in honey syrup.
They, like the modern pacifier, were designed to satisfy the main reflex of the baby - the desire to suck. The pacifier has nothing to do with feeding the child, but can only give the baby peace of mind, and parents the cherished minutes of silence. For babies, sucking on a pacifier helps them fall asleep because it satisfies the primary sucking reflex.
Lactation consultants do not recommend giving a pacifier to a baby if the mother is not getting enough milk. Let the baby satisfy the reflex by applying to the mother's breast, thereby stimulating lactation. Most pediatricians around the world have nothing against a pacifier for babies in the first six months of life. But do not force the baby to suck on the pacifier against his will. If the baby refuses to take a pacifier, he simply does not need it.
Modern nipples are harmless and do not affect bite formation in any way. Soothers are convenient, because first of all they were invented to free mom and dad some time.
Nowadays, mothers are lucky, because there are many thoughtful and convenient devices and gizmos.
The kid will never get bored, he will be satisfied and full. Nibbler is the right tool. Of course, you can do without it, but you should not deny yourself the convenience, and the baby in pleasure.
Washing the lacrimal ducts for children
A separate form of dacryocystitis in ophthalmology is dacryocystitis in newborns. This is a congenital disease caused by obstruction of the nasolacrimal canal.
In most cases, the formation of the lacrimal apparatus occurs in the prenatal period and is completed by the time the child is born.
However, it happens that a rudimentary membrane, or a gelatinous plug, consisting of elements of embryonic tissue, forms on the path of the tear to the nasal cavity, which becomes an obstacle.
Clinical signs of dacryocystitis
The resulting plug prevents the outflow of tears, due to which stagnation begins in the lacrimal sac. As a result, the tear is no longer able to protect the eye from microorganisms entering the eye, purulent discharge begins from the conjunctival cavity of one or both eyes.
Redness may appear at the inner corner of the child's eye.
Diagnosis and treatment
Two weeks after the birth of the child, the gelatinous plug most often resolves on its own. But in cases where this does not happen, qualified assistance from an ophthalmologist is required. To confirm the diagnosis, it is often enough just to be examined by a doctor, in controversial cases a dye can be used - a 3% solution of collargol and the time of its passage from the eye to the nasal cavity is measured.
Washing the eye or instilling drugs can relieve symptoms for a while, but when the procedures are stopped, the process resumes again, since the very cause of the appearance has not been eliminated. Therefore, a pediatric ophthalmologist should definitely look at the sore eyes of a child.
At the first stage of the development of the disease, the most effective may be a massage of the lacrimal sac. It becomes more effective the younger the child. The massage should be repeated after each daily feeding, the removal of pus from the eye of the mother must be accompanied by washing with therapeutic solutions.
For the first month, the doctor prescribes therapeutic massage and medication, if this does not lead to the desired result, probing of the lacrimal canals is prescribed.
After passing all the necessary tests and confirming the diagnosis, probing of the lacrimal canal is performed. Under sterile conditions, under local anesthesia, special probes are inserted into the child's nasolacrimal canals. With their help, the channels expand and their patency is restored, after the end of the procedure, the lacrimal canal is washed with a special disinfectant solution. Local anesthesia relieves pain in a child, and crying, on the contrary, helps to cleanse the nasolacrimal canal. The entire procedure takes no more than 5 minutes.
After the probing is completed, it is necessary to instill antibacterial drops within 10-14 days. It must be remembered that it is impossible to delay the treatment of dacryocystitis, the sooner an appeal to a pediatric ophthalmologist occurs, the easier and faster the pathology is eliminated and the faster the baby will forget about discomfort and the procedure.
