Swallowed a Button Battery? | Battery in the Nose or Ear? Swallowed a Button Battery? Battery in the Nose or Ear?

If anyone ingests a battery, this is what you should do: Immediately call the 24-hour National Battery Ingestion Hotline at 202-625-3333 (call collect if necessary), or call your poison center at 1-800-222-1222. Button batteries may also cause permanent injury when they are placed in the nose or the ears.
Can I mix breast milk and formula? While there's nothing wrong with mixing breast milk and formula in the same container, it's not recommended simply because you don't want to waste a single drop of your precious breast milk. Formula from a bottle that your baby has drunk from must be discarded within an hour of preparation. Breast milk, on the other hand, will "keep," refrigerated, for a number of hours in a bottle that's been fed.

Endocrine System | Endocrine Awareness Center for Health The body’s internal environment is monitored and regulated by a chemical communication network. Working alongside the nervous system, endocrine glands produce hormones that control and coordinate many bodily functions. These hormones regulate the body’s growth, metabolism, sexual development, emotional responses and mental processes. The major glands of the endocrine system are the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal, ovaries and testes. The pancreas is also a part of this system; it has a role in hormone production as well as in digestion. Hormones are powerful chemicals that work by altering the activity of their target cells. Although hormones come into contact with essentially all cells of the body they produce an effect only on certain cells called target cells. A hormone can have several different target cells, though these do not all react to the hormone in the same way. Different factors stimulate the production and release of hormones.
