Essay On Infant Photography

The problem wasn 't the awkwardness of people staring because of carrying a baby around. The struggle was having to multitask with it, and make sure you always had supervision over it. You just couldn 't leave it in some classroom for the time you went somewhere else, you had to take it with you it wasn’t a option unless you wanted to lose major points just cause you couldn 't take it with you for an extra hour or two. Also you had to remember you had the baby to begin with, since we weren 't used of having it at first it was easy of leaving it behind but as time went on you got used to it you knew when you had it and when you didn 't so you wouldn 't be able to leave it behind and run the risk of losing points for a huge mistake like forgetting it or leaving it

Throughout my time at Suffolk Community College, I have done a lot of observations and many hours of student teaching between the ages 4-7 years old. So, walking into an infant classroom for an observation was a first-time thing for me.

Babies R Us separates the necessary items for a parents new baby into several categories, including, getting dressed, on the go, feeding baby, caring for baby, sleepy time and time to play. The website lists eight items as necessary to prepare for that new baby. The first category of getting dressed suggest having several layers of different clothing.

Neonates do experience pain and controlling that pain can have both short and long term benefits. Neonatal pain or discomfort occurs during patient care, moderate, and severe invasive procedures and nursing must understand the concept of neonatal pain in order to avoid negative influences over neonatal development, prevent damage as well as enhance quality of care (Marchant, 2014). Dr. Jean Watson 's theory of human caring/Caring Science can also be considered a philosophical and moral/ethical foundation for professional nursing and part of the central focus for nursing at the disciplinary level (Watson, 2016).

It is also a sign of respect towards the child. When settling new children into the setting, I always like to make extra effort to talk to the child or play with the child on their settling sessions. I find this comforts the child as the child will then get to know me and familiarise themselves with me being there at nursery. For example, we had a child who really liked the ducks we had in the room and the rabbit we have outside, therefore I would ask the child if they would like to see the animals or stroke the animals. If the child would like to go, I would put out my hand so they can walk with me rather than follow me. I feel that I take the child’s feeling into consideration well i.e. if I know a child is upset on their settles, I would give them a cuddle straight away or get an activity out that I know the child enjoys. However, an area I could improve on would be to understand that sometimes children, who have been at the setting for a while, will have days where they will just need a cuddle as they miss their mummy. I need to understand that just because a child has been in that room a while doesn’t always necessarily mean they aren’t missing their

The new parents didn't want to decorate the nursery in a traditional color. They decided on a beautiful lilac and grey that will keep up with little Nora Sloan for many years as she grows. As a newborn photographer, I try to incorporate nursery colors into the theme and the poses. It was a treat for me to use a knitted lilac shade from Riley's Mom Makes Hats and a crocheted gray piece I've had in my collection. This is one of my favorite shots of the session.

Infants and toddlers are a very fun age to observe. Toddlers are probably more fun to observe because the can actually play. I have always enjoyed spending time with infants. I completed my observation at the church my family attends on Sunday, September 27. The church is Victory Baptist located in West Portsmouth. I observed an infant from ten to eleven and then the toddlers from eleven to twelve. Unfortunately there was only one infant in the nursery that day. The nursery at out church is one room divided in half with a half wall in between. One side is for toddlers and the other side is for infants. The toddler side of the room as toys and a child size table. There is also access to the bathroom. The infant side has a few toys, rocking chairs, cribs and a changing table. I had never been in this nursery before doing my observation. We just recently started attending this church, and my children are past the nursery age. The way the nursery is designed is convenient if there is only a few children one person could watch both

After the Back to Sleep campaign started, it was found that over 98% of nurses in the training program intended to place infants in a back-only sleeping position (Price, Gardner, Hillman, Schenk, & Warren, 2008). Having nurses up to date on safety standards allows them to teach new families proper information they need to know for infant safety before being discharged from the hospital. All parents should ensure that any caregiver looking after their newborn knows that putting the baby down in the supine position to sleep is the safest for all children under one year of age (Meadows-Oliver, 2013). Many young and new caregivers are not able to receive proper information prior to their newborn being born so it is important to get in as much teaching as possible before they get go

Infant Massage is a parenting practice that has been passed down from ancestors all over the world including places such as India, Africa, South America, and Asia. Infant massage came to be in the United States by Vimala Schneider McClure in the 1970’s. While in India, McClure observed mothers practicing massage on their infants and saw that it had a positive effect. McClure then went on to found the International Association of Infant Massage. She spread the word about infant massage and helped new mothers learn the importance of using these new techniques in caring for their children (McClure). Infant massage provides many proven benefits through touch and the use of oils not only for the infants themselves but the parents as well.

The arrival of a new baby, especially the first always marks a new beginning for a mother. It comes with a lot of challenges more so if the mother is less knowledgeable about baby care. Take such as cleaning the baby for the first time, or feeding, it is not easy. The baby is still fragile and slippery and needs a special care. But if the mother is not ready for all these, or maybe, does not have any knowledge on what to do, the baby’s life might be endangered since the baby needs a special care which only the mother can give.
