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 there, I just found your site, quick question…

    My name’s Eric, I found onmybabysplate.com after doing a quick search – you showed up near the top of the rankings, so whatever you’re doing for SEO, looks like it’s working well.

    So here’s my question – what happens AFTER someone lands on your site? Anything?

    Research tells us at least 70% of the people who find your site, after a quick once-over, they disappear… forever.

    That means that all the work and effort you put into getting them to show up, goes down the tubes.

    Why would you want all that good work – and the great site you’ve built – go to waste?

    Because the odds are they’ll just skip over calling or even grabbing their phone, leaving you high and dry.

    But here’s a thought… what if you could make it super-simple for someone to raise their hand, say, “okay, let’s talk” without requiring them to even pull their cell phone from their pocket?

    You can – thanks to revolutionary new software that can literally make that first call happen NOW.

    Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that sits on your site, ready and waiting 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 still there at your site.

    You know, strike when the iron’s hot!

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

    When targeting leads, you HAVE to act fast – the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes later is huge – like 100 times better!

    That’s why you should check out our new SMS Text With Lead feature as well… once you’ve captured the phone number of the website visitor, you can automatically kick off a text message (SMS) conversation with them.

    Imagine how powerful this could be – even if they don’t take you up on your offer immediately, you can stay in touch with them using text messages to make new offers, provide links to great content, and build your credibility.

    Just this alone could be a game changer to make your website even more effective.

    Strike when the iron’s hot!
