Baby will inherit at least some genes of the body parents. Not only physically but also congenital diseases such as headaches and allergies.
Basically, family history does not have to inherit all of it. Even so, as a parent, you need to beware. "Usually it comes from a combination of genetic and environmental influences that trigger the child's condition," said Pediatrician in Atlanta and author of "Heading Home With Your Newborn", Jennifer Shu MD.
You can not alter the genes of a child but you can make them familiar with health issues that affect your family and learn to avoid it. Among others:
1. Vision Problems
Usually vision problems in children will not be far from his parents. Call it nearsightedness, eye color blind and withered or amblyopia, usually a parent inherited vision problems in children.
Stuart Dankner, MD, ophthalmologist son, said there were 25 to 50 percent chance of a child to inherit nearsightedness if parents have that problem. "Color blindness are inherited only on women as a gene carrier and forward it, but usually this problem occurs in men," he said.
Another case if your child feel a headache or often moved to tears when reading or watching television. Lazy eye usually occurs in the first year but it is difficult to detect until the doctor you analyze it. For color blindness can usually be found at the age of 5 years.
To fix this, you need to check your baby at child's eye doctor since the age of 1 year. Detection as early as possible to avoid your child from this problem.
2. Eczema
There is a 50 percent chance your son has eczema. It is not strange, because eczema often encountered as an allergic reaction. Such conditions may make parents panic, especially if they do not have it. "Signs of an allergic tendency is inherited, not specifically allergic," said Director of Clinical Genetics, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Howard Saal.
However, eczema has some specific triggers such as cold weather, dry environment, allergic to foods such as dairy products and eggs. Stress factors can also trigger this. Eczema easily recognizable. The conditions characterizing the dry skin, rashes on the cheeks, inner elbows and behind the knee.
You can consult this to your doctor to confirm these suspicions. Nothing wrong with doing routine maintenance in order to avoid further problems. Using a moisturizer can prevent eczema widened, at least to reduce the itching and redness of the skin. Usually the doctor will also give you a prescription steroid ointment tropical.
3. Migraine Disease
Your son has probably as much as 50 percent (even more) experienced a migraine if the parents are also experiencing the same thing. The symptoms that indicated a combination of dizziness, nausea and sensitivity to light or sound. Migraine appears to children aged 8 years but in some cases of headache associated with symptoms of nausea when riding.
All you can do is identify the trigger on your son. Usually caused by fatigue, excessive movement, change in routine, food (like hot dogs and caffeine). Luckily, headaches at the age child can be cured by sleep or use drugs ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If pain persists, Dr. Saal recommend that you go to the doctor nervous child.
Studies at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that children who suffer from headaches, if not quickly addressed, have a higher emotional level than friends her age.
4. Abdominal pain syndrome
There are probably people who have the syndrome abdominal pain or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), will experience two times in his life. According to the study of the University of Sydney, Australia's syndrome occurs in infants whose parents had experienced it.

"There is also a huge emotional component," says the author of Mommy Calls Tanya Remer Altman, MD. Not only that, this syndrome also appear when the child was facing a transition in her life, such as when faced with a condition that is not wanted. Overcome by changing habits. Such as avoiding some foods, add probiotics even teach baby manage stress such as yoga.
5. Allergy
Allergies parents will usually decrease in heart fruit. But do not expect them to be as sensitive as you. Remember, parents just channeling the possibility of allergies and it can be avoided. Symptoms such as flu, sinus and ear infections or nasal itching indicates an allergic pattern. Similarly, itchy eyes, rashes, or fever. Difficulty breathing indicates a possibility of your son suffer from asthma. These symptoms appear at age 3 to 5 years. In mild cases, doctors simply recommend giving antihistamines and nose drops.

Not only the physical symptoms are revealed to the baby. Psychological and emotional issues contain a genetic component that likely to be inherited. There is some genetic component, such as attention deficit disorder hyperactibity, moody, anxiety disorders, including depression, bipolar and obsessive compulsive disorer.
