How can you find out if someone has a child
How to Find Out If Someone Had a Baby
You think it's been nine months, but you're not sure if the woman you heard was pregnant has given birth. If giving the mommy-to-be a call isn't an option, you'll need to investigate other avenues. From asking a friend or family member to searching online, some simple detective work can help you to find out if and when someone you know had a baby.
Ask Friends and Family
If you aren't close enough to the new parents to receive your own announcement, ask friends or family members who are. Sending a written birth announcement to family and friends is a traditional way to make the news official, according to etiquette expert Lisa Mirza Grotts in the article "Happy Birth Day: The Etiquette of Birth Announcements." For example, if one of your co-workers went on maternity leave but you aren't sure if she's had the baby yet, ask another co-worker who is close to her 1. In some cases you can also ask family members. If you're close to the pregnant woman's family or she's a member of your extended family, ask a relative who is in the know.
Use Social Media Sites
Seventy-two percent of parents reported using social media sites to announce the birth of their babies, according to a survey by the Baby Center website 1. While you shouldn't cyber-stalk your former college roommate, co-worker or second cousin to see if she's had the baby, you can occasionally take a glance at her page. Keep in mind that some new parents may use the social media site's privacy settings to restrict who can and can't see photos. If you aren't on the mother's "Friends" list, you may not have the ability to see if she has or hasn't had the baby yet. Even if the new mommy hasn't formally announced the birth of her baby online, seeing congratulatory messages to her from other friends and family is a clear sign that the big day has arrived.
Newspaper Notices
For decades new parents have used newspapers to publicly announce births to the community. If you don't see an announcement in the actual paper version of your area's news source, look online.
Be aware that as of 2014, the number of people who read print newspapers in on the decline 2. Only 23 percent of people surveyed reported reading a print paper in the past day, according to a Pew Research Center poll. Given the lack of interest in reading a tangible paper, some parents may just opt for the web-based version. Visit the "birth announcements" section of your local paper's website to find out if the person in question has given birth.
Birth Records and Documents
In some instances, you can use birth-record documentation to find out if someone you know has had a baby. In some cases, viewing personal records is restricted to certain family members. For example, in the state of Georgia access to birth records is restricted to the parents, a legal guardian of the child, the baby's grandparents, adult siblings of the parents, adult children of the parents or the mother's spouse 3. If you fit one of these categories you can search for the baby's birth record. Specific rules and regulations regarding the use of birth records may vary depending on the state, county or local privacy laws.

That depends on who you are in relation to the mother and child I suppose but even I doubt anyone other than the parent or guardian could access them.
Can I ask for more details as to why?

You'd need a date of birth and names though.
I doubt you could just search for a name.

You can search for birth records. They are available to the public. I’ve only ever searched for family ones using the persons name not the parents names not sure how you’d do it with the parents names.

simple answer is no.
It isn't that difficult to register under a false name for birth.
If it is unlikely that they used a false name, then in theory, if the baby's birth was registered, then yes.
The register of births is a public document, and you can search it on-line. But it isn't easy to find someone, unless they have a very unusual name. if you do find the person, and they are eg Maggie Jones, there will be dozens of Maggis Jones, and you don't know if it is your Maggie Jones. The only way to find out is to order a copy of the birth certificate, which then gives the names of parents and place of birth etc, You have to pay for every certificate you order.

If you know them ask them. If you don't know them well enough to ask then its not your business.
And birth records aren't public access.

you can go on-line and get a copy of any birth certificate registered in the UK.
The problem is that you need enough details to find the certificate you want. You can't search for Maggie Jones. etc you need an approximate date/place more details.

just googled how to search for a birth certificate.
clicked on first reply
entered my own name (and my married name isn't my birth name)
and got back 85 possible results (but I didn't pay to proceed)
On Gov website, you can search, but you need to register and pay (and I didn't wnat to)
If the birth is older, many sites eg ancestry.com hold the detaisl from 2005 (I think, judging by my quick view of the site.
yes, birth records are public documents

hmm, so he doesn't even know if there is actually a baby, or he doesn't know if the baby is his?
I would have thought it wasn't that difficult to find out if she had HIS baby, presumably there is a quite a small window, so he left in eg May, she claims she was pregnant when he left, she can't have been more than 2-3 months at the time, so the window for the birth is quite small, baby would be born Feb at latest or dec/jan at earliest.
You should be able to search using her name, where she was living and the few months around that window.
But I don't know how much it woudl cost, as I've never done it, and not sure if you pay for each result, or just the ones you want printed.

The issue is they moved out of the house they lived in together when they spilt and don't have contact now.
So my partner doesn't know her new address etc. She contacted him after saying she was pregnant, but the number doesn't work now.
I've looked at .gov one and registered and it seems historical, not recent records.
If there is a baby then it is certainly his no doubt on that, we just want to know IF it exists. Just things like we would like to write cards etc and save for the baby. With the hope that one day they make contact they will know they were thought about and they he wasn't in their lives due to not being allowed rather than not wanting to be.

If they were serious enough to have lived together, surely they had mutual friends.
Even my fairly not serious relationships that lasted more than 2 months, we’d met each other’s friends. Could he not just ask a mutual friend? Then proceed from there with a solicitor if the answer is yes.

it could be asked why she hasn't told him about the 'birth', maybe he isn't the father or she doesn't, for whatever reason, want him involved.
you would only hear his side of the story.
she might have made it up to try to keep him from leaving her, or she was pregnant and miscarried.
if she wants to get in touch she would do at some point.

Maybe she has good reasons for not telling him? Like abuse etc.
Otherwise you could look for her through the electoral role? Or the phone directory if she's registered?
What reason might she have for not wanting him involved if it's true though? That would be my question

Scientists named signs of giftedness in children
How to discern a capable child? When is the "golden period" for the development of talents in children? What is the "age of questions"? These and other questions of "RG" are answered by the leading researcher of the laboratory of psychology of giftedness of the Psychological Institute of the Russian Academy of Education Elena Belova.
Elena Sergeevna, a high school student from Yekaterinburg, who memorized and wrote more than 13 thousand numbers after the decimal point from the Pi sign, got into the Russian Book of Records. There are kids who, by the age of 2-3, know the multiplication table, the capitals of all countries. Are they gifted kids? nine0006
Elena Belova: Giftedness and learning outcomes, training are two different things. If you show the letters of the alphabet and repeat the names to a two-year-old child every day, in a month or earlier he will know a lot by heart. But it will not be knowledge that will please him, but the approval of adults. A gifted child is ready to give up sweets, walks, and sleep for the sake of a new book, a favorite pastime. The main component of giftedness is a high creative potential. It allows you to think outside the box, unconventional, find original solutions and can manifest itself already in preschool childhood. No wonder the age from 5 to 8 years is called the "golden period" of the development of children's creativity.
About 20 percent of today's preschoolers have a high creative potential. However, the disclosure of this potential can be delayed and even ruined at any stage of development. nine0003
How can parents understand whether they have a gifted child or an ordinary one?
Elena Belova: Pay attention to how your child explores the world around them. There is evidence that gifted children in the early stages of development - up to 2-3 years old - have a more persistent and pronounced reaction to a new object, sound, image. New toys delight everyone, but one child will forget about the toy in an hour, and the other will try to study it better - throw it up, twist it, lower it into the water, cover it with a rug ... Speech is the most important indicator of development. Children have a so-called age of questions - from about two and a half to three and a half years. It is difficult to distinguish this age among the gifted. They ask a lot of questions all the time.
Topics are deeper, and topics are broader. For example, a child at the age of four may be interested in how a computer or TV works, memorize chess combinations. nine0003
What if you take tests that will tell you whether you have a miracle child or not?
Elena Belova: First, answer the question: why do you need to identify giftedness? To satisfy your own vanity, in order to relieve anxiety (all children are like children, but mine is not like that), for psychological help, in order to create conditions for the development of abilities?
Of course, for the development of abilities!
Elena Belova: Here is the simplest questionnaire for parents and teachers. Answer "yes" or "no" to five statements. 1. The child is proactive, lively, mobile. 2. He readily responds to everything new. 3. Curious, loves everything mysterious, incomprehensible. 4. Often needs the support of elders. 5. Shows the ability to concentrate for a longer period of time than peers.
Did you answer "yes" to all questions? There are reasons to consider the child capable. The use of serious tests requires professional training, so it is better to contact specialists. nine0003
And keep in mind that gifted children can be very sensitive, vulnerable.
8 percent of preschoolers and primary school children admitted that they cannot live without gadgets...
Elena Belova: them fade into the background. We cannot completely remove gadgets, but if we do not develop the creative potential of the child, it will hardly be possible to talk about giftedness. What's in Gadgets? Ready-made instructions, a series of changing sensory impressions instead of independent play, active creativity and communication with close adults. Perhaps gadgets contribute to the development of attention, memory, reaction speed, and the accumulation of visual experience. How useful this will be when initiative and independence are required is a question.

Specifically
How to help reveal your creative abilities
1. Take your child for a walk, even if he is still in a stroller, put your phone in your pocket. Try to talk as much as possible with the child, show and name what surrounds him: "This is a tree, it is big, tall, this is a flower, look how beautiful it is!" The child's vocabulary begins to grow long before the child begins to speak. nine0003
2. Read books to your child, saying all the words. Pay attention to the illustrations, details. Ask: "Who is the bunny looking at?", "Where did the fox run?" etc. The child is silent and does not answer? Give the answer yourself: "The bunny looks at the house (wolf, grove .
..)", "The fox runs to the lake (into the forest, on the path ...)".
3. When active speech begins, watch how it develops. Speech disorders are usually very closely related to the functioning of the brain. Remember: gifted children may speak later than usual, but they begin to speak a lot at once and quite correctly. But if there is still no speech at the age of three, perhaps this is a reason to turn to a speech therapist. nine0003
4. Preschool age - the age of play. When buying new toys, prioritize those that allow your child to use them creatively.
5. Keep a diary of your child's development; until the age of 7, development proceeds at a gigantic pace. Write down the ideas, sayings, writings of the baby. Be attentive to all his creative manifestations!

An account in favor of Kamilla
Recently, on one of the TV programs about the unusual abilities of children, Kamilla Aliyeva from Dagestan amazed the presenter. The girl does mental arithmetic and solves two thousand examples in her mind in 20 minutes! How does a 12-year-old girl do all this? nine0003

The basis is training with the help of a special counting board (abacus) like the one that all accountants used to have. Abacus is still different from the usual accounting board. For example, there can be 13, 15 or even 17 knitting needles. First, the child learns to count on these accounts, and then simply imagines them in his mind. Teachers recommend starting to do mental arithmetic as early as possible - from 4-5 years old, when the brain is most plastic. It is believed that this helps to develop both hemispheres at once: the child has a photographic memory, the ability to concentrate. But there are also disadvantages. Among them - overload, the desire to do everything as quickly as possible. And most importantly, how do you apply your quick counting skills later? After all, you can't overtake a computer anyway. nine0003
How do you know if you have enough breast milk?
Nowadays, almost all mothers want to breastfeed their babies. But not one mother during pregnancy does not think that there may be any problems with feeding.
These problems overtake already in the hospital. It seems that all the problems, suffering, pain are behind you, your baby is next to you, but now a new stage in your life begins.
Breastfeeding. Will I succeed?
nine0002 Every woman can breastfeed. The main attribute for this is your chest and a positive attitude. Every woman has colostrum, that is, the first milk appears at different periods: for someone in the middle of pregnancy, for someone on the day of birth, sometimes it comes only on the third day.If colostrum does not come on the third day, then you should not give up. Continue to apply the baby to the breast and this will stimulate the production of milk. Find a comfortable position for you and your baby and enjoy being with each other. nine0048
Preparation for feeding during pregnancy
No need to worry about your breasts losing their shape.
The first thing you need to buy is a good support underwear to lighten your breasts.
Owners of large breasts should use such a bra from the middle of pregnancy. When buying this bra, keep in mind that your breasts will increase in volume when the milk arrives.
No need to torture your nipples during pregnancy by rubbing them with a terry towel, wearing rags in your bra and other manipulations with your breasts.
Examine the shape of your nipples: they may be flat or protruding.
A flat nipple will be more difficult for a baby to latch on to and will likely require silicone breast pads to allow the baby to draw on the milk. Don't worry that you will feed your baby all the time through these pads, after a couple of weeks the baby will pull on your nipples. nine0048
The most sensible advice for mothers when it comes to breastfeeding is to cook the head, not the chest.
Does the baby need formula?
What to do if the milk does not come? Here, rather, everything depends on the mother and the behavior of the child, if the child cries, perhaps he is hungry. The hospital staff will offer you to feed your baby. In principle, the baby has enough colostrum for the first days of life, but if it is not there, do not torment the child, feed the mixture and continue to apply. nine0048
What happens if a child loses weight?
Weight loss of 10% at the time of discharge is considered normal - the baby has edema , a lot of meconium comes out. Usually a baby gains 150-200 grams in the first week of life.
How to determine if the baby is getting enough milk?
The main indicator that the baby is full is his good behavior. If the baby lets go of the breast after feeding, plays for a while, and then falls asleep, then he has enough milk. If the baby is capricious, sleeps poorly, you should think about the lack of milk.
nine0048
The first and surest way to check is baby weights. The disadvantage of this method is the purchase of such scales, which are not cheap. You can ask your hospital if they rent weights or look in ads.
So, we weigh the baby before feeding and after, and by the difference we look at how much the baby ate. The norm for children under 4 months is 1/5 of their weight. For example, with a child weighing 3500 grams, his norm will be 700 grams of milk per day. With 7 feedings a day, the baby should gain about 100 grams after feeding. nine0048
The second method is the old method called "wet diapers". There are two ways to carry out this method. The first involves the rejection of modern diapers for a day. You can buy a piece of gauze and make diapers, you can just put the child in sliders, by the way, in the sliders it will be clearly visible when the child has urinated. For example, we start the experiment at 7 am today and end at 7 am tomorrow.
These days you need to feed the baby only breast milk and not give any more liquid. nine0048
Record the number of times the child has urinated on the tablet, so it is more convenient to count.
Do not worry that you will not succeed, be patient and dry things.
During the day you can do this:
- regular or disposable absorbent diapers can be used;
- the child may be dressed in a romper or gauze diaper; nine0048
It is better to cancel a walk in the cold season. In the summer, we cover the stroller with a diaper and take clean clothes with us.
At night it is more difficult, but it can be done really well. We act in the same way as with the stroller - we cover the bed with a diaper. It is better to prepare a supply of diapers for the night. You may have noticed that the child pees, when he comes out of deep sleep, he begins to move.
So, the day has passed.
Wet diapers will tell us if your baby is getting enough milk and if the kidneys are working well. Urine during the day can be transparent, and in the morning it can be more concentrated, that is, it can be yellow. nine0048
The number of urinations depends on the age of the child:
- 1-3 days a day 2-5 urinations;
- 3-6 days a day 4-8 urinations;
- 6-14 days a day approximately 12 urinations;
- after 14 days a day 12 or more urination .
Test result (after 14 days):
- 12 or more diapers - your lactation is normal;
- 8-10 diapers per day - lactation is reduced;
- less than 8 diapers - the baby does not have enough of your milk. Discuss supplementary feeding with your pediatrician.
The second method of counting urination baby is the weighing of wet diapers .
Day collect use diapers , we tightly tie each of them in a bag to avoid evaporation of urine, we clean the feces from diapers . In a day, we weigh the use of diapers and the same number of clean diapers . The difference between used and clean diapers is the amount of urine per day. Next, divide this number by 30 (the approximate weight of one urination) and get the number urination .
Such weighings are carried out either once to compile a general picture, or within a couple of days to dispel doubts that there is not enough milk. Weigh your child once a week.
What to do if the baby does not get enough breast milk?
First of all, calm down and don't panic. Next, if possible, find a lactation consultant. Perhaps you have the wrong feeding process. Perhaps the baby is not grasping the breast correctly, is the baby tightly pressed against your body with the tummy.
It would seem nonsense, but perhaps the whole problem is precisely in this. Also, the consultant should examine your child, he may have a short bridle, the anatomy of the jaw, you may need to try other positions for comfort and proper grip. Also pay attention to how often you change breasts, perhaps the baby is sucking out your foremilk, which is less fat. nine0048
Increased lactation
In order to increase lactation, two breasts can be given in one feeding. In order to prevent the baby from sucking only the foremilk, it is necessary to monitor when the baby stops swallowing milk, but simply sucks at the breast
An equally important aspect is the calmness of the mother. Households should take care during these periods so that the mother does not get tired of household chores, help her in everything and be affectionate with her. nine0048
An excellent stimulation of lactation is facilitated by the fact that mother and baby feel each other's skin.
When a baby suckles, the mother's brain receives a signal about how much milk her child needs. If the baby is hungry, then, accordingly, he will suckle the breast more, in response to this, the mother's brain will send more hormones that stimulate milk production, which then send a command to your breast to produce more milk. This is the supply-demand system. That is why it is important not overdo it with hormone signals.
If you still need to stimulate the production of milk, then you can use lactogenic products: fennel seeds, lactation teas, appilac .
Breast massage with oils also helps.
In bad weather, refuse to walk, lie in an embrace with the baby, this will also be a good stimulation. nine0048
If this does not help, then consider supplementing your baby with formula.
Complementary formula.
Formula supplementation is a type of infant feeding that combines breastfeeding and formula feeding.
But the percentage of the mixture per day should not be more than 50%, otherwise such feeding will be considered artificial.
Supplementation with formula during breastfeeding is required temporarily. The task of the mother in this situation is to maintain lactation, and not transfer the child to the mixture. nine0048
In the first six months of a baby's life, he is prescribed supplementary feeding with a mixture, since it is not allowed to feed cereals and vegetable purees until six months. After six months, the issue of supplementary feeding is decided individually.
Start giving your baby a small amount of formula, approximately 15-30 grams per feeding. We monitor urination, if less than 8 times a day, then the same amount of the mixture should be added. If the baby urinates more than 15 times, then the amount of the mixture can be slightly reduced. nine0048
Offer the mixture strictly after breastfeeding. If he has not eaten it, then it is poured out and a new one is prepared for the next feeding.
If the baby does not finish eating the formula on subsequent occasions, try removing it and doing the wet diaper test again.
Can full breastfeeding be brought back?
Moreover, this is what needs to be achieved. Lactation consultants have a lot of experience in transitioning from mixed to natural feeding. Of course, this is not a one-day job, mom needs to be patient, be confident in her abilities. nine0048
It is necessary to breastfeed before each feeding with the formula, gradually reducing its amount, but we also do a wet diaper test to see if the baby is full. Applications during breaks should be very frequent.
So, to return to breastfeeding you need:
- restore bodily contact;
- accustom the baby to the breast;
- gradually reduce the amount of supplementary feeding; nine0048
- disperse lactation.
How many months to breastfeed a baby?
There is no consensus on the duration of breastfeeding.
There are opinions that a child needs to be fed up to a year, others say that up to three years, others say until the moment the child refuses to breastfeed.
The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding your baby until two years of age. But from 6 months of age, your milk can't provide all of your baby's nutritional needs, and it's time to introduce complementary foods. nine0048
Most often, a one-year-old child has only nighttime breastfeeding, as it is convenient for both mother and baby.
Benefits of long-term breastfeeding:
- nutritional value;
- protection against diseases;
- reducing the risk of allergies;
- the formation of the correct bite.
You should not stop breastfeeding if your baby is sick, it is during this period that your milk adjusts to his needs and can be the best medicine.
How to set up a milk bank?
Your lactation has picked up and now you have more than enough milk.
In such a situation, we create a milk bank. To do this, you need a breast pump and airtight milk storage bags. You can even without a breast pump if you have learned how to pump with your hands. We express milk, seal it in an airtight bag and the supply is ready. nine0048
Breast milk can be stored this way for up to 3 months.
To feed your baby with such milk, you just need to take it out of the freezer and defrost it, warm it up a little and you can feed the baby.
Will I be able to breastfeed my second child?
It's real. The main thing is to believe in yourself. It is best to find a lactation consultant who would help from the first days. nine0048
Is it necessary to follow the diet of a breastfeeding mother?
You need to eat more consistently during the first 2 weeks of your baby's life. Your diet should include cereals, not fatty meat, fish.
Vegetables should not be bright colors.
Then gradually introduce one product into the diet and monitor the baby's reaction. If you are not prone to allergic reactions, then most likely your child is too.
Eating for two, as our grandmothers said, is not necessary. It is enough to increase your diet by 500 kilocalories.
The best diet during breastfeeding is proper nutrition with a varied diet.
Breast care while breastfeeding
No need to wash your breasts with soap before every feeding.
It is necessary to do air baths for the chest before feeding, so that the chest would rest from clothes. nine0048
