"I'll prescribe you a non-prescription," or At an appointment with Dr. Beztabletkin

Hello, my dears!

I have the honor to introduce myself: Dr. Philip Philipovich Beztabletkin. A pediatrician with many years of experience, or simply a pediatrician.
 
I've been looking for an opportunity to talk to young moms and dads about... non-treatment for a long time. Yes, I'm such a strange doctor - I DON'T treat children! Because everything they need for growth and development is created by nature and good people who love their work.
Well, let's start.

A stroller instead of vitamins

A young mother came to me one day with her six-month-old firstborn son Alyoshenka in her arms. Or rather, not on my hands, but in this newfangled rag construction - a sling that makes all moms look like kangaroos)).

And this young mother tells me that, they say, it's time for Alyosha to sit on his own, but he still doesn't want to. Everything is on the handles and on the handles - and the breast is sucking, and playing, and sleeping - only in this very sling. As soon as they put him on the bed, he screams furiously. Maybe he asks if you can prescribe a massage for the baby or vitamins to strengthen the bones?

I examined the boy - frisky, well-fed, cheeky - there is something for a 48-kilogram mother to carry. "All you need, I say, is a cool stroller to protect your backs." "Backs?? - Mom looks at me with surprised eyes. - You don't understand, Doctor, I came about Leshenka. My back doesn't hurt. Bye...” and lowered her eyes. You probably know what I'm getting at.

Well, I put everything on the shelves for her then. That Lyoshenka, for the full development of his back, does not need to sleep in a sling in the fetal position (he has been safely out of this state for six months)), but on a flat orthopaedically arranged surface.

And you can't think of anything better than a good quality stroller with a comfortable cradle for sleeping. 

Even if the child refuses to sleep at home, then on the street (or even on the balcony) he will fall asleep like a darling.

I even recommended a specific model to her, which I am absolutely sure of and which I tested on my own granddaughter. It's called Carrello Aurora. It is simply created for daily walks from the very birth of the baby. My granddaughter immediately fell asleep in it when we went for a walk. A comfortable orthopedic mattress at the bottom of the cradle is the best thing for a healthy back and a healthy sleep. 

And in general, this stroller is almost universal. In addition to the cradle I mentioned, it also has a walking block and a car seat. Such “transformers” are called 3in1. Car seat - to safely transport and quietly carry the baby. Quietly - if he fell asleep, I'm talking about it))) 

And the walking block is already when the child starts to sit. By the way, in this version you can change the handle: put it in front of the child, or behind. Well, there's nothing to say about quality, maneuverability and reliable safety! Everything here is top notch!

Hypoallergenic instead of antihistamines

And here's another case: a young couple with a one-year-old Nastenka came to the reception. The girl is allergic to cow's milk protein, citrus fruits, dust and pollen, cat hair, synthetics and all red products. Mom and dad are desperate, they are afraid to introduce new foods into complementary foods. What to do, what to treat - everyone is asking.

And the baby is smiling to herself, she's so sociable, she went to my hands. So, I tell the parents, take an example from your daughter. Allergies are not a verdict. And you can learn to live with it.

For example, toys should be easy to wash, and clothes should be made of natural materials that are easy to wash. Nutrition is a separate topic, because putting a child on a strict diet and at the same time achieving a good appetite is not so easy. But this problem can also be solved. The main thing is for parents to be positive.

And I also advised them to use a cool and very comfortable thing - a high chair. Why," they waved their hands, "they're all synthetic and you can't wash them, but dust accumulates there!" Not obligatory. There are some that are easy to clean under running water. Carrello's high chair Apricus is a godsend. The materials are hypoallergenic, and thanks to the eco-leather, the high chair can be wiped with a wet towel and any food stains can be removed! 

After lunch, you can even take a nap on such a high chair without changing the location. But the sweetest sleep for a child is after a hearty meal. 

Also, sitting in such a high chair, the child will feel like a full-fledged family member and be at the same table with adults! Adjusting the seat of the high chair allows you to raise it to the desired level. 

The safety of such devices is also important. Apricus is equipped with five-point seat belts. And even the biggest fidget spinner will not be able to move the tabletop while eating or playing - it has additional fasteners.

Cool playpen instead of sleeping pills

Dad came. Without a child. One. I also wondered why he got the door mixed up. I remember that last week my boy and I had a scheduled appointment.

And then the man began to tell his story. About how the one who radically changed their previously carefree and interesting life with his wife appeared in their family - their son Kiryusha, who recently turned 6 months old.

Of course, even at the planning stage, the 30-year-old dad realized that the family structure would not be the same, but he did not imagine that this would turn their entire inner world upside down. "He's not sleeping!" - a two-meter tall man with a scythe in his shoulders summed up in a loud whisper and in horror. And he asked me to prescribe at least some soothing drops that are harmless to the child.

I try to calm him down, I specify at what time the baby does not sleep - day or night, which, as a rule, precedes this - active play or bathing, walking or eating. "He doesn't sleep outside the house. In general!" he emphasizes.

That is, the repeated attempts of the young parents, not only to travel, but even to spend the night with friends or parents, each time resulted in a complete fiasco: Kiryusha did not fall asleep for a second and screamed until the exhausted parents loaded him into the car and drove him home. And only in his beloved crib did his eyes close and the baby fell asleep.

To be honest, I did not immediately find what to advise him. Then I remembered: there are whole "portable bedrooms". I'm talking about the playpens. For example, in Carrello Grande, the baby can play and fall asleep whenever he wants. But its main feature is that it folds down to a compact size and can be easily packed into the trunk of a car. And as soon as Kiryusha gets used to her personal space, you can safely go on a trip - seeing the familiar outlines, the baby will calm down and fall asleep, just like at home.

This playpen is another place to play: it has a built-in zipper that opens a manhole for the child. He can get out of it and come back on his own. The manufacturer has taken care of safety, so there are no sharp corners and protrusions in the device that can injure the baby. Everything is made for the comfort of the child, and where there is comfort, there is a pleasant sleep.

Walkers instead of stimulants

The grandmother of 9-month-old Dashenka is my neighbor. The female heroine, I call her. She volunteered to babysit her granddaughter so that the girl's parents could work during maternity leave.

Young people can be understood - after the wedding, they got a mortgage and bought a good apartment, so that in five years there would be somewhere to have children. And then, just nine months after the wedding, Dashenka was born - the children, they are so sweetly able to cross out all plans)) And you can't send a mortgage on maternity leave. So Vera Pavlovna decided, when her granddaughter turned 6 months old, to take on this pleasant and responsible burden.

And everything was fine with the responsible grandmother - and she fed, and went for a walk, and put her to bed. But for my dear, I don't have a minute's peace. Neither a favorite TV series to watch, nor a magazine to read. And then Dashenka also learned how to take the first steps, holding onto her grandmother's hands. My legs are still not listening, they are getting into eights, and the delight is indescribable - my grandmother will support me and take me where I need to go.

One evening I went to a neighbor's house for tea, when the baby's blood parents had already taken her home. Grandma is sitting tired, measuring blood pressure. I'm looking at 160 over 100. Uh, I'm saying, honey, aren't you playing too much? Vera Pavlovna told me that it was nothing like that - she just led her granddaughter by the handles with her back bent all day.

I just shook my head. What a stone Age, literally! Why exploit a poor grandmother like that when you can just put a child in a walker? Not only is this a great warm-up for small feet, but it's also a wonderful opportunity to decide for yourself where to go and what to play with. And the walkers Carrello Eterno also have a whole game board: various toys with sound and light effects. When the child gets tired of running or walking, he can safely play with toys on the panel. Meanwhile, Grandma will bake pies or watch a TV series.

When Dashenka grows up and decides to walk on her own, the walker is right there. They have a convenient handle at the back that will help you push off and move the walker in front of you. And before that, parents may need a pen to control their child's movements. So, I hope Vera Pavlovna will hear me, and her blood pressure will return to normal.

Walking instead of “immune boosters"

But there are a lot of such cases as with the parents of 10-month-old Mitya. "Suggest vitamins to strengthen the child's immune system," "Which fruits should be given in which season so that the baby is less sick," and similar questions.

The case of Mitya, who is often ill, was further aggravated by the fact that he is the third child in the family. The two older ones are 1st and 5th grade students. So in my 10-month life, Mitya has had all sorts of things - sore throat, acute bronchitis, and endless acute respiratory viral infections. Mom is in despair - the elders easily get sick with what they "bring" from school, and Mitenka - with all the consequences: fever, snot, cough. How to strengthen a small one so that it hurts less?

I ask how often Mitya is outdoors. Mom shrugs her shoulders: our stroller is old, she says she inherited it from the eldest. Mitya doesn't want to sit in it. And if he falls asleep accidentally, he wakes up immediately, it's uncomfortable for him or something. So it turns out that there is no time to go for a walk between morning and afternoon sleep. The rest of the time, Mom has a lot of work to do.

I opened a page for her on the Internet with Carrello strollers on the Internet, showed her the options that I, as a doctor, am sure of. Her jaw dropped. She said that the factory would also get one so that the child could sit comfortably, and sleep if he wanted, and fold it so that it did not take up much space. For these parameters, I recommended to mom a very comfortable model Carrello Bravo 2022.

The backrest here can be adjusted in three positions, including the sleeping position. And on a walk, in the fresh air, sleep is very sweet)) Also in winter: there is no need to be afraid that the child may catch a cold or freeze during winter walks.

Carrello came up with everything: the stroller comes with a warm foot shelter, and the dense material of the cradle and a large hood reliably protect from frost and wind.. 

No bad roads and obstacles are terrible for such a stroller)) Each wheel has a soft spring shock absorption, and for better off-road performance, the front wheels are fixed in the "straight" position. 
And of course, all parents want the stroller to not take up much space. The Bravo stroller can easily fit even in a studio apartment. With one hand, it can be easily folded into a “book” and placed somewhere against the wall behind the cabinet.

In general, dear parents, grandparents. Believe me: millions of children grow up in the world, who in millions of cases manage to do without drops, massage products and vitamins. The body of a small person is a very thoughtful and non-interventional thing. The main thing is to create good conditions for his growth and development. And high-quality children's products are the most important of these conditions. Except for the love and attention of the people closest to this organism ;)
