Early language development is intricately linked to a child’s exposure to reading, talking, and singing starting from infancy. Though infants may not talk back, research shows a child’s language exposure at an early age predicts his or her success in school. According to the 2012 National Survey of Children’s Health, more than 35 percent of US children enter kindergarten without the language skills needed to effectively learn how to read. This challenging start can cause academic difficulties in the years to come. Help your child get an early start with his or her reading skills. Here are storytelling tips with recommendations from pediatricians and the American Academy of Pediatrics to help stimulate early brain and language development. (cont’d on page 11)

Beautiful Beginnings: Start Your Pregnancy Off Right by Lisa Carbonell, MD, Barton Women’s Health Are you considering having a baby or did you just find out you’re expecting? Now more than ever, it’s time to start paying attention to your health. Preparing your body can help you conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. Here’s how.
Eat Right
For good health, eat foods from all five food groups: • Fruits and vegetables • Grains • Protein • Dairy • Fats and oils, found in foods like olives, some fish, avocados, and nuts
A daily prenatal vitamin supplement is recommended for most women starting about one month before conception and throughout pregnancy. These supplements contain all the recommended daily vitamins and minerals you will need during your pregnancy. An appropriate dose of folic acid (400 mcg) is usually be found in a prenatal vitamin. Folic acid can help reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Women who have had a child with a neural tube defect or who are taking certain drugs need much higher doses of folic acid: 4 mg daily, which should be taken as a separate supplement.
Avoid Harmful Foods
Certain foods can be harmful to your pregnancy. They include: Alcohol: There is no established safe amount of alcohol in pregnancy. Alcohol consumption can affect fertility, and during pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal alcohol syndrome. Large fish (shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish): These fish can carry high levels of mercury. When pregnant, you can safety eat 12 ounces (about two meals) per week of fish low in mercury, such as shrimp, canned light tuna, salmon, pollock, and catfish.
Look at Your Lifestyle
Now is the time to quit any unhealthy habits such as smoking, which has been show to increase risk of pregnancy complications including low birth weight and stillbirth. Even if you’re already expecting, quitting as early as possible can protect your baby.
Manage Medicines and Conditions
Tell your doctor about any medications you’re taking. If any are unsafe for pregnancy, he or she can help you stop taking the medication or find an alternative. If you have a chronic condition, such as diabetes, asthma, or epilepsy, it’s important to work with your doctor to get it under control before you get pregnant to reduce your risk of complications in pregnancy. Nausea and vomiting can be one of the earliest and hardest symptoms of pregnancy – and one of the hardest to handle. Most women find relief with these tips: • Eat four to five small meals throughout the day. • Avoid spicy or greasy foods. • Avoid smells that may bother you, such as strong perfumes. If you can’t keep any food or liquids down and are worried about your nutrition, talk with your doctor.
Unpasteurized milk or soft cheeses, raw or undercooked meat, and prepared meats, such as hotdogs or deli meats: These foods can carry the bacteria Listeria that can cause illness in pregnancy increasing your risk for miscarriage or stillbirth.
Visit Your Doctor
Stay Active
Once you’re expecting, getting early and regular prenatal care improves the chances of having a healthy pregnancy.
Studies show that women who exercise before becoming pregnant are less likely to have gestational diabetes. Starting your pregnancy at a healthy weight can also help lower your risk for problems during pregnancy, such as high blood pressure and preeclampsia. As your doctor says it’s OK, keep exercising. Working out at a moderate intensity throughout pregnancy is safe and has many benefits, including improved sleep, mood, and energy.
Before pregnancy, it is important to review your health history with your doctor and make sure you’re up-to-date with vaccines. It’s also a great time to discuss ways to improve your overall health for pregnancy.
Lisa Carbonell, MD as well as Amanda Weavil, MD, provide a wide range of gynecological, obstetrical, and fertility services. Call 530.543.5711 to schedule an appointment or find more information at bartonhealth.org/mom.

Benefits of Reading and Singing to Your Child (cont’d from page 6)
Make it fun. Cuddle up and make reading time a comforting in-
teraction. Infants recognize and favor their parents’ voices and faces from when they are only a few days or weeks old. Read with emotion and mix up the volume with whispers, sing-song tones, and silly voices. Although infants may not comprehend the words or story, they will respond to vocal emotions and facial expressions when you read or talk.
Make it tactile. Select colorful and durable books. Children respond excitedly to bright colors and, as they get older, may like holding the book or putting it in their mouth to experience the feel. Though a young child may lose interest in a story after a few minutes, continue to read, talk, and sing with your child frequently. This interaction stimulates the child’s interest and expands his or her attention span.
Romeo Flores Heredia (twin) Viridian Heredia and Amir Ricardo Flores December 28, 2015
Ridley Rose Scott Creighton and Amy Scott December 31, 2015
Make it insightful. Stories open the opportunity to ask questions and talk about feelings. Can you show me the train? Which animal says “tweet”? In time, as comprehension expands, your child may identify what is in the picture. Suggest what emotions the characters in books might be feeling and give your young child a chance to share if he or she sometimes feels similar emotions, such as happy, sad, or mad. Make it interactive. Preschoolers can be chatty and very curious. At this age, they may retell parts of their favorite stories or make up their own. Build on this cognitive development by asking your child follow-up questions. What do you think will happen next? What is the character thinking or what is this character feeling? These conversations not only help develop language and reading skills, but also spark creativity and curiosity. Make it a routine. Read with your child every day. Make it a
calming activity – this is especially beneficial for the bedtime routine or afternoon downtime. Your child is never too young or too old to enjoy reading a book with you. Get inspired from attending “Mother Goose on the Loose” and other storytimes at the public library. Expand your book collection by checking out library books or exchanging books with other families. Then have your child pick out a book, get comfortable, and enjoy this important time. Barton Pediatrics is located at 2201 South Avenue in South Lake Tahoe. Make an appointment for your child at 530.543.5550.
