t’s hard to believe it was possible, but anti-vaccination fanaticism has taken a darker turn, as Chris Mooney reports for Mother Jones: Now, it's not just vaccines that parents are foolishly rejecting for their children, but also a simple injection of vitamin K that has been a standard part of newborn care since the 1960s. Some parents now find themselves rushing to the emergency room with babies sick withvitamin K deficiency bleeding. “This rare disorder occurs because human infants do not have enough vitamin K, a blood coagulant, in their systems,” Mooney writes. “Infants who develop VKDB can bleed in various parts of their bodies, including bleeding into the brain.” Bleeding in the brain can cause brain damage and, in some cases, death

Your baby needs special attention in monsoon
Rains give a respite from that crazy summer heat, but they also bring along a spate of health related issues and problems. And the most vulnerable lot that is affected in this wet season is - babies. But, there are simple things to keep in mind to keep your toddlers safe and smiling in this wet season... 

Hygiene matters: The first and the most important step towards baby care is to maintain proper hygiene for the baby. Your baby may sweat a lot during the humid weather in monsoon. Give your baby a bath with antispectic soap at least once every day. You may even sponge the baby later in the day to rub off the extra sweat. Some really good baby care is necessary to ensure that the baby does not accumulate sweat on his body as it can lead to fungal infections, rashes and allergies. 

Food facts: Most of the diseases during monsoon are water borne. Take good care this monsoon for your baby so that he or she does not develop diseases due to food or water contamination like diarrhea. Wash the feeding bottles properly with hot water. If your baby isn't breast feeding then prepare his food with boiled water. Clean the plates and bowls in which you will serve your child the food properly. Most importantly, you should not forget to wash your hands and those of your child's before and after eating. 

Dressing rules: Buy a good deal of clothes to ensure proper baby health care this monsoon. The weather may change many times during the rainy season. When the sun comes of the clouds, dress your child in cotton clothes so that he or she feels comfortable. And whenever you feel that the weather is cool enough wrap up your child in some warm clothes so that he or she doesn't catch cold. Proper dressing is one of the prime factors in maintaining a proper baby health care routine for your baby. 

Boo to mosquito bites: Save your child from mosquito bites as they are the carriers of many diseases. To care for your baby properly, cover the hands and legs of your baby with a cloth and use mosquito nets while sleeping. Do not use the chemical mosquito repellants available in the market as the harmful gases that they emit may harm your child. 

Points to ponder: You should take enough care to ensure that your baby does not stay in wet nappies or else he or she might develop rashes. Remember to trim your baby's nail at least once a week. Keep your house clean and do not allow stagnant water at any place as these are the breeding ground for mosquitoes.
