A baby Aksamaldi (5 months), weakness in the arms of his mother due to vomiting and defecation in a refugee camp a week Gapu children, youth and sports, NAD. He was treated and given an IV in the hospital for three days. Camp in open conditions and lack of food caused him pain.

NEEDS stimulation or an attempt to encourage the child to enter a new knowledge or skills are very important in increasing the intelligence of children. Stimulation in children, the baby was starting palpable fetus because the fetus is not a passive creature. In the womb, the fetus is able to breathe, kick, turn, swallow, move, you suck your thumb, and others. While the main stimulus specifically for children of 0-7 years.

In the development of a child, the stimulus is a prerequisite. The stimulation can hear proposals for the improvement of sensory function Hold (feeling, seeing the taste, smell), motor (movement rough, smooth), socio-emotional, language, cognition, self-confidence and creativity (morality,leadership). In addition, stimulation stimulate brain cells (synapses). As explained in the discussion and workshop with the theme “A + ANFE Smart System: The combination of stimulation and Intelligence Towards optimal nutrition”, in Jakarta last week. This discussion shows some of the speakers, namely S. Mayke Tedjasaputra (Psychologist and play therapist), Hartono Gunardi (Growth Consultants RSCM) and Soepardi Soedibyo (RSCM Child Nutrition consultant).

One speaker, Hartono Gunardi, for example, are brain cells in babies of 6 months of pregnancy.Therefore, the stimulation and the fetus must be done from the age of 23 weeks. During pregnancy, the process of stimulation in various ways, such as the sound stimulus (the Mozart effect) are carried out to touch the movement, speeches, singing and storytelling.

According to Hartono, the former and the ma-held stimulation, the greater the benefits. He said there are several levels of the usefulness of the process of stimulation for babies born in the former. At the age of 0-6 months, babies, adjustment and perceptions of mothers through a stimulation process can be formed. Meanwhile, began at the age of 0-36 months and the behavior of intellectuals to take shape. Meanwhile, at the age of 0-48 months, cognitive and 0 -96 months of reading and writing should be encouraged. ”From the beginning of stimulation in promoting brain development is necessary, either right or left brain, the brain,” he said.

Meanwhile, psychologists and therapists say playing Mayke Tedjasaputra S, the response to noise and vibration are at the age of 26 weeks of pregnancy and rises until finally begin at the age of 32 weeks. He told me it was a study that the reaction of the fetus of 26 weeks of ages is a story that was played constantly by his mother.

The result, said Mayke, at the age of three days after birth, the baby sucks the mother’s nipples are more active than when I heard two different stories rarely told his mother. ”The answer to the voice of the mother was more active in response to the voices of others,” continued the story.

After Mayke, gentle movements in stomach pregnant mother is also carried out a fetus felt needed to be quiet. He said if the fetus move more, a mother can do a gentle touch in the stomach. But despite the stimulation is necessary for the fetus must be done carefully in its implementation. ”Do not be too excited, remember to parents, to stimulate the fetus, the fetus needs rest,” he added

Mayke In his statement to reaffirm the importance of play in the stimulation process is performed in children. Because after playing Mayke is the son of the world of work. ”Now the process is the provision of time to do, so that parents play the media as an effective means of increasing the intelligence of children is necessary,” he added.

DHA-ARA

Moreover Soepardi Soedibyo said in his statement the importance dokosaheksaenoat acid (DHA) and arakhidonat acid (ARA) children. He said the DHA-ARA substance needed in the process of child development of intelligence, both while still in the womb or after birth.

The levels of DHA and ARA clinically proven to help brain development and improve visual acuity. ”If, before birth, given the supply of these substances by the mother through the placenta, when given after birth through breast milk or milk,” he said. Therefore, he added, ASI is the only thing that is important for a mother to the baby. According to him, the baby is breastfed, the better level of IQ, or intelligence.

The maturation of the immune system in infants given breast milk better than regular formula.”Therefore, contains DHA-ARA content in breast milk instead of cow’s milk,” he said.

Soepardi has the task of breastfeeding in infants is better during the first six months after birth.At that time, the content of LC-PUFA (fatty acids that are required at the time of the formation of cell membranes, brain and eyes) must be completely filled for the baby. Newborns are able to synthesize a set of needs, is that AA and DHA from the LC-PUFA are derived from the mother during pregnancy.

Besides useful for babies, breastfeeding, baby say Soperdi very positive effects on the mother.Malignant tumors of the breast, ovaries and uterus, and osteoporosis can be reduced through breast milk in infants. ”Another advantage is speed healing after childbirth and the return of body weight,” he said.
