Hauptstadtmutti: Did you particularly like an experience?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: I have touched a lot. Especially sad moments, when a child dies, or especially beautiful, when a connection and peace hover over everything.
Hauptstadtmutti: Is there an example of the latter?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: I once had two sisters here, who accompanied their third sister to the birth and did practically without me women and body work. That was wonderful. Teamwork, and only by women. This has unfortunately been lost in obstetrics.
Hauptstadtmutti: What do you mean?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: I think it's nice and right for men to accompany their women to their birth. But often they are overwhelmed. The whole situation in the delivery room is alien. You can not put yourself in the position of the woman. Women work together better together. Men often have inhibitions.
Hauptstadtmutti: Men are not able to be of any help?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: The big part is not in the special labor. Nice that they are there, but they can not help much.
Hauptstadtmutti: How do you scare the women from the inevitable moment of birth?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: That's an important point. It is important that I remind the woman again and again about the physiology. I have to make it clear that it is necessary to go through a natural process that has been set up and tried out. The woman has to believe and trust. She has to deliver herself. Whoever accepts that something inescapable happens with his body, and who trusts in the ways of nature, has it easier.
Hauptstadtmutti: Why are you an ambassador of Curaprox Baby?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: A good friend had approached me and introduced me to the product world of Curaprox Baby. Right from the start I was convinced of the benefits and the quality of the products - above all because they have a preventive character. We midwives get in touch with pregnant women very early and need such preventive products. I consider it my duty to recommend the best possible to the parents.
Hauptstadtmutti: What are the products doing differently?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: Biofunctionality makes a difference. They are thought through and developed by a professional, an orthodontist. Many other products simply say they are recommended by dentists. But they were not in the development. That's what makes Curaprox Baby products so special. They are well thought out and have a preventive effect. What I also like is that Curaprox says breastfeeding is still the best thing for the child
Hauptstadtmutti: Is that true?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: Absolutely, if enough milk is available. Breastfeeding is absolutely the best for healthy jaw positioning, that's the way it is. Also from the breathing pattern: The chest compared to a baby bottle helps better to ventilate babies. These babies have the better oxygen saturations as the babies who are bottle-fed and suck a lot. If it works, that's my personal opinion, breastfeeding should be the first and best solution.
Hauptstadtmutti: When I was breastfed as an infant, did I get enough oxygen and develop optimally?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: Ideally yes. About twenty percent of the children have a genetic, congenital jaw deformity. But with all the others you can cause the jaw malpositions of the wrong pacifier. Breastfeeding is the correct sucking, which is adapted to the physiognomy of our skull and oral cavity.
Hauptstadtmutti: Do children really need a pacifier?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: Certainly. The name infant does not come from nothing. They are babies who have a sucking need. They calm themselves down. We see children who are born with sucking bladders because they had already sucked on their own forearms in the abdomen. This need comes early. One part is based on nutritional, part on comfort needs. In the past, the children were taken to the breast for sucking. Nowadays women do not have time to have a child on their breasts.
Hauptstadtmutti: When is the right age for the Curaprox baby pacifier?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: It could be from birth. It depends. There are children who may cry a lot because of an exhausting birth or because of their tendency to be restless, and who can calm themselves down by sucking. This is only positive for the child. A child that always screams releases stress hormones. That is not healthy. If it brings peace to a young life, that's good.
Hauptstadtmutti: Why does a child need a Curaprox baby teething ring?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: The teething ring calms down. When the teeth push through the pilgrims, pain arises. Pressure on the pilgrims relieves and relieves pressure. The teething ring softens at the same time and helps the teeth to pierce. Babies automatically bite on something.
Hauptstadtmutti: No matter what, kids bite in this phase. Sweet wood would not be wrong?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: It can be licorice, that's what they used to do in the past. Or in Bündnerland Bündnerfleisch. Since you can argue about the salt content. I would have been happy too. Cheerful kids with a muzzle of meat in their mouths (laughs). The teething ring that Curaprox Baby has developed also brings with it a sensory appeal. Through the beads that you can shake, by its different surface texture. The child has tactile different experiences. The nubs at the front are also the ideal preparation for brushing teeth.
Hauptstadtmutti: When should you work with toothbrushes?
Midwife Dayo Oliver: From the passage of the teeth should be cleaned. When the first tooth goes through. Toothbrushes by Curaprox Baby look a bit different. I have used them myself for my children, they still have toothbrushes from Curaprox Baby. The special is the brush head, which is small. You get into all corners of the mouth. Often baby toothbrushes are too big. It does not come so well in the back corners of the mouth. The shape of the handle is also different: the child can hold the brush very well. The round, wide handle helps to a good grip. And the softness of the bristles. One has to imagine: A child with inflamed, perhaps even bleeding gums after piercing the tooth should brush with hard bristles? These are the children who fight back and scream while brushing their teeth. If you bring a soft brush, the world looks different.
Thank you, dear Dayo Oliver!
