Great news for fathers and mothers who usually look for information on the Internet: the website of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP) www.crecersano.com, which emerges as a meeting point to solve the doubts they face during the first stage of our children's lives.
I've been reviewing its content, and it presents a updated and quality information, which, together with its dynamic and simple structure, makes navigating the portal and finding information easy. For example, I have been able to know how rotavirus acts in an animated presentation and let's say, very graphic and pedagogical, that advances phase by phase: contagion, performance, effects ...
It is aimed at the first year of the baby's life, which is when more doubts, uncertainties and questions arise in relation to their care and well-being. And most importantly, it is a information and advice endorsed by the Spanish Association of Pediatrics.
The web is divided into five main sections.
- In the “My baby” area, parents can create a personalized page for their children and include photos, comments, a personalized vaccination calendar and growth charts for their babies. In addition, you can find information about breastfeeding, meals, umbilical cord care, and a curious section about the unsubstantiated myths.
- On the other hand, in the "Health" section you can find information on the necessary care of the child, the benefits of massage and gymnastics for the baby, teething, vaccination ... Each subsection presents clear and practical information.
- In the "Tools" section, what we find are interactive tests to test our knowledge, a guide to hospitals and centers and a space to virtually decorate the children's room.
- The section "Community" presents what they call "tricks for moms" and the baby of the month is chosen.
- And finally there is a module of "Downloads" with song lyrics, screensavers or tabs to print.
According to Dr. Carlos Díaz, pediatrician and director of Internet resources of the AEP, 90% of the doubts that arise for families are repetitive over time, so creating a tool like this capable of solving them is important . It certainly seemed to me to be an excellent guide that surely I will visit on more than one occasion.
Information appropriate to the current state of science is offered, in addition to a affordable language for all and with the safety and support of specialists to give advice on health, hygiene and safety, which are the most demanded topics.
This combination of specialization and closeness In a truthful and serious tool I think it is the most appropriate and useful for parents.
