Solution to Teen Pregnancy

Today we live in a world with innovation and freedom, where the teenagers have high curiosity. They tend to try different things, especially about matters of sex. Statistics say that birth rates in teenage pregnancy has risen 200 percent since the 60's, and one in four pregnant women at 18 and half of them will become pregnant at age 21. If this happens, parents should be careful in educating their children about teen pregnancy.


Reason pregnancy:
Experts say that there are several reasons influencing teenage pregnancy. One major reason is because they believe that the baby will bring changes in their lives such as having few friends or getting close to family and girlfriends. But what they do not know is that having a baby adds more responsibility for their lives. Pregnancy is a life-changing experience. Parents should tell their children that pregnancy is not just a game houses, they must instill in their children that pregnancy is not the solution to the problem, or should be used as an excuse for rebellion. Pregnancy will change their lives for a lifetime.


Effects to a country:
Many countries have been promoting contraception and safe sex for teenagers, especially because of the tremendous inflation in the last decade the population of this level. One example of this is China. They apply the two-child policy due to more population. If citizens expect a third child, the mother is obliged to cancel or they will be executed for violating the law.


Statistics say that the population in China has risen to 2 billion in the 90s. Government on the verge of resource scarcity and famine will continue. It is a fact that if everyone in China will jump together, it will cause an earthquake in the Pacific and can cause disaster to nearby countries. An idea that seems funny, but actually will cause a serious impact if taken seriously.


Solution:
Teenagers always want to know about sex. They will do anything just to satisfy their pleasure and can not resist if they are determined to do it. At an early age, they already know what to do when it suspects a case of pregnancy. So I think the parents should also make them understand the responsibilities and consequences of pre-marital sex.


Many Christians who oppose sex education because they claim that it is immoral to teach young children about sex. According to my own opinion, sex education should be taught at home or at school. Because after all the education and understanding about sex is very necessary for the youth of today.


And another thing, that abortion is not the solution to teen pregnancy. If you know the side effects of abortion you will think twice before doing so. It is said that abortion can be toxic to the mother if some part of the children who have been canceled there are still remaining in the mother's womb. In addition, abortion is an unethical act, and also against the morality of the country.

9 Bottle types

There are three types of baby bottles are available: glass, plastic and plastic with disposable plastic liners. Glass bottles are very durable but they are a little heavier to use and they are breakable. Plastic bottles are also very sturdy and are more lightweight. Bottles with liners are convenient since the liners don't need to be sterilized but they can also be expensive to use. Some plastic bottles are shaped at an angle to minimize the amount of air the baby takes in her stomach when feeding.

You can choose several styles of nipples in either rubber or silicone. You should buy new nipples every three months. As your baby gets older, buy nipples with larger holes.

Most babies are content with formula that is at room temperature. If your baby prefers warmed-up formula, heat the bottle (with the formula already in it) by running it under hot water from the faucet. This way you can ensure the liquid is not too hot and you can frequently check the temperature by shaking some formula on your wrist. Don't microwave formula because the liquid heats unevenly. Even though the bottle may be cool to your touch, the liquid inside could be burning hot and scald your baby’s throat.

Feeding time is usually an enjoyable experience for the person feeding the baby and the baby. Cuddling with your baby is important and feeding time is the perfect opportunity to get in some skin-to-skin contact. When your baby is about halfway finished drinking the formula in the bottle, take a break and burp her to release any gas that may be accumulating in her tummy.

A general rule of thumb is to burp your baby after every 2 ounces eaten.  If you forget to do this, your baby will wake up from her restful sleep crying due to the need to burp.
