ARCADAS Y ATRAGANTAMIENTO. LA PARTE INCÓMODA DE LA ALIMENTACIÓN COMPLEMENTARIA


Iniciar sólidos con nuestros bebés es de las etapas más divertidas y bonitas para toda la familia. Bueno, no se si sea la más divertida para nosotros/as después de ver todo lo que debemos de limpiar cuando terminan la comida #embrasethemess.

Las arcadas pueden ser el lado incómodo del inicio de alimentación complementaria si no conocemos sobre que hacer, como identificarlas y por que deberías de sentirte segura cuando sucedan.

¿Qué es una arcada?

Mecanismo de protección para evitar que la comida entre a las vías respiratorias de tu bebé. En pocas palabras es un reflejo que protege contra el atragantamiento. ¿Ahora ya no suena tan mal, no? Piénsalo como algo que evita que tu bebé pase por un verdadero peligro. Los bebés tienen este reflejo mucho más sensible que los adultos. Es más "fácil" que tu bebé reaccione teniendo una arcada al comer, puede ser el tamaño del trozo, la textura o porque le este costando trabajo manipular el alimento en la boca. 

Las arcadas pueden presentarse en los dos métodos de alimentación: tradicional o BLW/BLISS (Baby Led Weaning/ Baby Led Introduction to Solids). 

Así como tu bebé no aprenderá a caminar sin caerse unas cuantas veces, es normal que las arcadas estén presentes, son señal de que estamos practicando y aprendiendo a comer.

¿Cómo puedo identificar una arcada?

Ojos llorosos

Cara roja 

Boca abierta con lengua hacia afuera

Tos, llanto o sonidos como si fuera vomitar. 

Es incómodo ver a tu bebé intentar manejar el alimento en su boca y que le cueste trabajo. 

¿Qué hacer en caso de arcadas?

Creo que aquí lo clave es saber que NO hacer:

1.- Entrar en pánico.

Estar en calma, es algo difícil de conseguir en ese momento pero es importante para mantener el ambiente lo más tranquilo y relajado para que tu bebé pueda resolver la arcada. Si gritamos y nos asustamos, ellos también entrarán en pánico lo que puede llevar a que tu bebé se distraiga y sea mas complicado terminar el proceso de la arcada.

2.- Sacar al bebé de la silla

No hay mejor lugar para tu bebé al momento de una arcada que la silla que le brinda una postura correcta, equilibrio, soporte y seguridad. Al sacar al bebé corremos el riesgo de con el movimiento llevar a empeorar la situación

3.- Meter el dedo en su boca para ayudarlo

Al involucrarnos de esta manera, podemos empujar la comida a la parte posterior de su boca y causar un verdadero episodio de atragantamiento.

Lo mejor que podemos hacer, es dejarlos tomar el control de la situación en la que pueden pasar dos cosas:

1.- Gestiona el alimento de tal forma que logra tragarlo.

2.- Gestiona el alimento para expulsarlo de su boca. 

¿Cómo saber cuando tengo que intervenir, es decir, cuando sí es atragantamiento?

Mirada fija 

Piel azul o labios azules 

Silencio total o sonidos finos agudos 

Aquí debemos de intervenir inmediatamente con CPR, primeros auxilios. Te ampliamente tomar un curso para poder actuar de forma rápida y con seguridad en un posible evento. 

El atragantamiento no tiene nada que ver con el método de alimentación de elección, no hay más riesgo si se hace BLW/BLISS VS método tradicional.  

¿Qué hago para evitar atragantamiento?

1.- Postura segura:

Espalda recta, pompis apoyadas, rodillas flexionadas y pies con apoyo.

2.- Papás, mamás y cuidadores atentos en la alimentación de los bebes

Observa a tu bebé mientras come, haz movimientos exagerados al comer para que aprenda a comer imitándote. 

3.- Alimentos con cortes y presentaciones adecuadas para etapa de desarrollo

Evita alimentos pequeños y redondeados, alimentos duros y firmes.

4.- Comer sin distractores 

Evita la televisión o cualquier otro distractor al comer. Necesitamos todos los sentidos de tu bebé enfocados en los alimentos.

 

Se que es un tema incómodo de leer, pero nada es mejor que tener información que nos hagan sentir seguras/os y no permitan disfrutar más de etapa tan importante para tu bebé.

 Si quieres tener más información para dejar los miedos y mitos atrás en la alimentación de tu bebé no te puedes perder el taller FoodStart ⭐: Alimentación complementaria este próximo 29 de mayo a las 4:00 pm hora de Ciudad de México

    Hey, this is Eric and I ran across onmybabysplate.com a few minutes ago.

    Looks great… but now what?

    By that I mean, when someone like me finds your website – either through Search or just bouncing around – what happens next? Do you get a lot of leads from your site, or at least enough to make you happy?

    Honestly, most business websites fall a bit short when it comes to generating paying customers. Studies show that 70% of a site’s visitors disappear and are gone forever after just a moment.

    Here’s an idea…

    How about making it really EASY for every visitor who shows up to get a personal phone call you as soon as they hit your site…

    You can –

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It signals you the moment they let you know they’re interested – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.

    CLICK HERE http://boostleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

    You’ll be amazed – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus a half-hour or more later could increase your results 100-fold.

    It gets even better… once you’ve captured their phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation.

    That way, even if you don’t close a deal right away, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Pretty sweet – AND effective.

    CLICK HERE http://boostleadgeneration.com to discover what Talk With Web Visitor can do for your business.

    You could be converting up to 100X more leads today!

    Hi, Eric here with a quick thought about your website onmybabysplate.com…

    I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.

    Like yours, many of them have great content.

    But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.

    I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.

    Here’s a solution for you…

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. You’ll know immediately they’re interested and you can call them directly to talk with them literally while they’re still on the web looking at your site.

    CLICK HERE https://boostleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

    It could be huge for your business – and because you’ve got that phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately… and contacting someone in that 5 minute window is 100 times more powerful than reaching out 30 minutes or more later.

    Plus, with text messaging you can follow up later with new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to keep the conversation going.

    Everything I’ve just described is extremely simple to implement, cost-effective, and profitable.

    Good day,

    My name is Eric and unlike a lot of emails you might get, I wanted to instead provide you with a word of encouragement – Congratulations

    What for?

    Part of my job is to check out websites and the work you’ve done with onmybabysplate.com definitely stands out.

    It’s clear you took building a website seriously and made a real investment of time and resources into making it top quality.

    There is, however, a catch… more accurately, a question…

    So when someone like me happens to find your site – maybe at the top of the search results (nice job BTW) or just through a random link, how do you know?

    More importantly, how do you make a connection with that person?

    Studies show that 7 out of 10 visitors don’t stick around – they’re there one second and then gone with the wind.

    Here’s a way to create INSTANT engagement that you may not have known about…

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know INSTANTLY that they’re interested – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally checking out onmybabysplate.com.

    Plus then, even if you don’t close a deal right away, you can connect later on with text messages for new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to build a relationship.

    Cool website!

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – onmybabysplate.com – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across onmybabysplate.com, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought – what if there was an easy way for every visitor to “raise their hand” to get a phone call from you INSTANTLY… the second they hit your site and said, “call me now.”

    You can –

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.

    Time is money when it comes to connecting with leads – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later can be huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s why we built out our new SMS Text With Lead feature… because once you’ve captured the visitor’s phone number, you can automatically start a text message (SMS) conversation.

    Think about the possibilities – even if you don’t close a deal then and there, you can follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how you doing?” notes to build a relationship.

    Wouldn’t that be cool?
