Which Eye Problems Occur in Infants?
Infections - Some newborns may catch conjunctivitis as they pass through the birth canal. Older babies can get this eye infection through exposure to persons infected with it. Infected eyes appear red and puffy and have a sticky discharge. Antibiotic eye drops may be given as treatment. Blocked tear ducts - Tears drain from the eye through a duct, leading from the inside corner of the eyelid, and into the nose.Higher levels of nitrates can cause a condition known as "blue babies". The nitrates interfere with the ability for oxygen in the blood to reach the brain and the extremities in developing bodies. USEPA have set a standard of 10 parts per million in drinking water to prevent this condition from occurring.

Don't infants have natural immunity?
Babies get some temporary immunity (protection) from mom during the last few weeks of pregnancybut only for the diseases mom is immune to. Thanks to vaccines, most diseases prevented by vaccines are no longer common in this country. Even the few cases we have in the U.S. could very quickly become tens or hundreds of thousands of cases if we stopped vaccinating.The current statute applies only to CCS-approved acute care hospitals that have licensed perinatal services or a CCS-approved neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).The purpose of weaning is not to remove milk from the diet.

Why are we concerned about pertussis among infants?
Infants under the age of 12 months have more serious illness from pertussis and they are more likely to have complications and be hospitalized than persons in other age groups. In the 1990s, about two thirds of infants reported with pertussis were hospitalized. Infants are more likely to have pneumonia or convulsions. Infants also are at greatest risk of fatal pertussis. In recent years, 15 to 21 infant deaths from pertussis are reported to CDC annually.In the U.S., we have the vaccine called DTaP (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis vaccine). DTaP is safe and effective, and prevents severe pertussis and death among infants and young children. The best way to protect infants from pertussis is to give DTaP vaccine starting on time at 2 months of age.
Why are nitrates bad for infants?
Higher levels of nitrates can cause a condition known as "blue babies". The nitrates interfere with the ability for oxygen in the blood to reach the brain and the extremities in developing bodies. USEPA have set a standard of 10 parts per million in drinking water to prevent this condition from occurring. The common sources of nitrates are from runoff from fertilizer use, leaching from septic tanks, sewage and erosion of natural deposits.Parents are always welcome to spend time with their infants and they are also encouraged to participate in the care of their infant as long as the infant is medically stable. - 15478
