His mother was level-headed and did not have any(prenominal) severe medical conditions before and during the maternalism. However, she had a case of urinary tract infection around 6 months into her pregnancy but was treated successfully with antibiotics.She also had a positive appetite during her pregnancy and she ate the right foods and dutifully took her vitamins and regularly had her prenatal check-ups. Aaron passed the young screening test in flying colors, he was 7. 6 pounds, had the normal head circumference and height and he was already screaming when he came into the world. After 2 days in the hospital, he went home, however, he was supposititious to be breastfeed but he had difficulty in it as his first feeding was from the bottle, his mother also had difficulty nursing him as she was a firs time mother.The doctors advised that he be placed on the bottle on an infant formula. He did not have any conundrums after this. Aaron was overweight when he was 5 months old, he has a very regular sleeping and feeding schedule and he sticks to it even if at that place are distractions. He liked to jump on his mothers lap and he used his feet more than his hands at this stage. At 6 months, he changed his milk formula a nd he suffered from constipation, he had to be placed on different milk formula which was not constipating and was on a soft diet. After 2 days, he was able to scoop normal bowel movement.He also had b step to the fores of colic especially during the day. He does not cry much but when he does cry it took him a pine time to quiet down. His mother noticed that he seemed to shiver when he cries and go blue when he does not get what he wants. When he is angry or upset, he will cough or provoke barf actions. The mother was alarmed with this behavior but when she talked to her paediatrician, he tell that Aaron was merely trying to get his own way by vomiting and turning blue because when he checked him he was really plainly a normal child. The mother has learned not to reinforce vomiting or holding his breath and this have now disappeared.At one year old, Aaron was hospitalized for diarrhea and vomiting, he was having high grade feverishness and was throwing up and had very loose bowels. He was brought to the hospital because he was already showing signs of dehydration. He stayed in the hospital for 3 days and came home fine.

Health and Medical Analysis From the case study fork uped, it seemed that Aarons major health condition that has brought about medical attending was on his digestive system. He had constipation, colic, indigestion diarrhea and vomiting at a young age this would imply that he has a light endorse or a very sensitive digestive system. He had been on infant formula since he was born and it could be that his fend have not adapted a s well as children who have been breastfeed (Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000).He also had been using distilled water since he was born and it could be that his stomach does not have the friendly bacteria that normal children have. The problem is that Aaron likes food he has a well-grounded appetite but since he suffers from indigestion or diarrhea he might lose his acknowledge for take in because it was the source of his discomfort, however, at present Aaron has not shown any hatred to food. In the future, Aaron may have more instances of diarrhea because when he gets older, his mother would have lesser control over what he eats (Berk, 2005).At present he is being taught to always wash his hands before eating and to not place anything on his mouth, but the difficulty is that he still sucks his thumb before going to sleep. It is recommended that the mother try to introduce Aaron to regular water and juice and to have him eat different foods so his stomach would be accustomed to it. It was also recommended that the mother bring this to the attention of the pediatrician and to learn more about how to keep the digestive system healthy and functioning well.ReferencesBerk, L.
