Family Welcomes Baby girl after Four Generations of all-male Offspring

-


Underdahl's-familyAfter 101 years of having all boys in the family, for four generations, the Underdahl welcomed their baby girl Aurelia.In a very rare phenomenon, a baby girl is born after 101 years of male dominance in the Underdahl’s family. On April 12, the Idaho couple welcomed eight pounds and three ounces baby Aurelia after a century of a male streak.
It was in 1914 when the first baby girl, great aunt Bernice, was born. After which, four generations of seven boys dominated the Underdahl’s family.
However, on April 12 at 5:48 p.m. the four generations of all boys were broken. Scott and Ashton Underdahl welcomed baby Aurelia Marie Ann, the second girl to be born in the Underdahl family.
“I’m a little at a loss as to what to do – I grew up with three brothers and haven’t spent much time around girls,” Scott, 27, who works at a lumber company in Post Falls, told PEOPLE. “But my daughter has been a lot of fun so far. Everyone is excited to have a little girl in the family.”
The couple in Idaho has a 22-month old baby boy named Archer before baby girl Aurelia. Ashton said that baby Aurelia is pretty quiet, very refreshing from the boys in their family. She added that the baby girl had the nose of their grandfather, Conrad Underdahl, according to reports by Daily Mail UK.
The grandfather of the Underdahl, Conrad, told CDA Press that he wanted a girl after having his first two boys, Ryan and Scott. Unfortunately, though, twin boys followed, Jason and Joel.
“Maybe it took more than 100 years to create perfection,” Conrad told the CDA Press. “We’ve been spoiling her a bit because it’s just different finally holding a baby girl.”
However, seeing how Archer takes care of his baby sister Aurelia, the Idaho couple may just have another one.

Healthy diet for the rainy season

Along with the showers comes the risk of various diseases like food poisoning, diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera. Again, in rainy season, digestion is generally weak. Therefore, you should eat less. It is also essential to fast once a week or fortnight. People eat some incorrect food during this time and fall sick. To protect your health, follow this dietary guideline: •Avoid heavy, salty food, as it promotes water retention and bloating. It is better to have medium or low salt food •Eat foods which are drying in nature, the most popular being corn, and oats, among others. Eating watery foods like rice and watermelon creates swelling in the body •Maintain the general hygiene while eating out and definitely avoid roadside vendors, as very few people have the high immunity to handle the bacterial overload at such places •The milk is the better diet in this season. Drink butter milk, as it improves digestion. Oily food should be taken in less quantity •Eat li...

Managing lactose intolerance in children

-
A concerned mom shared her experience with other mothers about the likely causes of diarrhoea in children: “When my daughter was two months old, she started having diarrhoea. I let this go on for a couple of days and then took her to our family doctor. The doctor told me that she has gastroenteritis (infectious diarrhoea). I was given oral re-hydration solution and Flagyl syrup. After a couple of days, she still wasn’t any better and I was at my breaking point. So, I scheduled an appointment with another doctor in order to get a second opinion. The new doctor that I now call my daughter’s pediatrician said that she didn’t think that the baby has gastroenteritis. She said that she was likely to be lactose intolerant and had colic. She told us that when a baby is developing intolerance to cow’s milk, a symptom of that is diarrhoea. So, she advised us to change her baby formula, and, immediately, the diarrhoea stopped.” Lactose (milk) intolerance happens whe...

When fibroid co-exists with pregnancy

                        Dr. Samuel Adebayo Uterine fibroid, also known as Leiomyoma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour of the uterus (womb). Fibroids are the most common benign tumours in females and they occur during the reproductive years. They occur in up to 50 per cent of women. The exact cause of this tumour is unknown; but some factors are associated with increased chance of developing uterine fibroid. A family history is a factor. History of fibroid developing in women of the same family or race plays a role in a woman’s life. African women have between two and three times chances of developing fibroid than white women. Also, African women develop fibroid at a younger age, usually in their 20s and above, unlike white or caucasian women where fibroid may occur in their 30s or 40s. No pregnancy or low pregnancy rate increases the risk, just as early onset of menses...
