He nui nā mākua ma mua o ka Soviet Union mua i pilikia i ka pilikia i ka wā o ke keiki, i ko lākou manaʻo, aiʻole i ka manaʻo o nā kauka, e kaumaha kaumaha ana. ʻOiai e kūpono ana eʻikeʻoe i kēia "kumu e" hemo loa ai kēia kumuhana. No laila, ma nā'āina kahi iʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka olakino o nā keiki ma mua o nā'āina o nā moku'āina Soviet kahiko,ʻaʻole i manaʻoʻia ke kaumaha o ke keiki he kuhikuhi pololei i kona olakino. Inā kū ka poʻe akamai a hoʻolohe i ka hoʻololiʻana o ke kaumaha o ke pēpē mai nā kūlana iʻaeʻia i ke kuhikahi,ʻo ia ka manawa e loaʻa ai ka maʻi nui i ke keiki.
He mea pono e noʻonoʻo i keʻano o ka nele i ke kaumaha o ke kino, i ka wā e pono ai ke paʻi i ka'ōpilikia a hana i ka hana, ai ka wā o ka hoʻonāukiukiʻole. E noʻonoʻo i nā pae hoʻohālikelike no ka "kūpono" o ke kaumaha o ke kino o ke pēpē.
I ka makahiki 2006, ua hoʻopuka houʻia ka WHO (Health Health Organization) i nā kūlana hou i ke kaumaha a me ke kiʻekiʻe o nā keiki (no nā keiki i ka 5 makahiki) ma kāna pūnaewele. Hoʻokumu i kēia mau hana ma hope o ka hopena o nāʻike piha lōʻihi o ka wā lōʻihi heʻewalu a me ka hapalua mau keiki ola maikaʻi e noho ana ma nā'āina likeʻole.

Pono e hoʻomaopopoʻiaʻaʻole nā kānāwai i kauʻia o ka Hui Ola Ola ma ke kānāwai, akā he'ōlelo aʻo. Eia naʻe, ma ka hana ma ka hapanui o nā'āina o ka honua, ua mālamaʻia lākou. I waena o nā pediatric Lūkini, a me nā mea lapaʻau mai nā'āina o ka USSR mua,ʻaʻole "nā hana hou i" nā papahana hou. ʻO ka hapanui,ʻaʻole lākou iʻike no nā loiloi houʻia a hoʻohana i nāʻike iʻikeʻia ma kahi o kanakolu aiʻole kanahā mau makahiki i hala aku nei ma o kaʻikeʻana o nā kamaliʻi, aʻo ka poʻeʻoihanaʻoihana. No laila,ʻo nā keiki, ma keʻano heʻeono mahina, e kilokilo ana i 6 kg, e loaʻa i kahi hōʻailona o "dystrophy", akā naʻe ma muli o nā kūlana hou no kēlāʻano hōʻailonaʻaʻohe kumu.
No laila, inā manaʻo ka pilikinoʻaʻole i lawa ka kaumaha o ke keiki, akāʻo kona kaumaha he mea maʻamau ia e like me nā pae hoʻohālike o ka World Health Organization,ʻaʻohe pono e lawe i kekahi ana. Mai hoʻololi i kaʻai i kahiʻai kai kiʻekiʻe, inā he keiki ma mua o ka makahiki o ka makahiki,ʻaʻole ponoʻoe e hoʻonui i ka pēpē me kahi hui, inā kamaʻilio e pili ana i kahi pēpē. Eia kekahi,ʻaʻole pono e hāʻawiʻia nā lāʻau e pono ai e hoʻoponopono i ka hana. Inā pili ka paona ma nā rula, akā manaʻo nā mākua he mea lahilahi ka pēpē, pono e hoʻomanaʻo i ka "uluʻana o ke keiki,ʻaʻole ka puaʻa hānai."
Aia ma lalo iho nei kahi papa inoa o nā moʻolelo maʻamau e pili ana i ke kaumaha o ke keiki. ʻO kēia mau manaʻo kuhihewa a me nā manaʻo hewa i waena o nā mākuahine a me nā kupunawahine a ua hāʻawiʻia aku i nā makuahine'ōpio.
Ināʻaʻole i mālamaʻia kaʻaiʻana o ke keiki e like me ka papaʻaiʻekolu,ʻo ia hoʻi, ua hānaiʻia ka pēpē i ka hapa, a laila loaʻa iā ia nā pilikia a me ka waiwai waiwai. Ma keʻano maʻamau,ʻaʻole pololei kēia pane. ʻO kaʻai'āpana e kū'ē i nā mea'ē aʻe e like me nā pono o ka pēpē, inā nānāʻia mai ka manaʻo physiological. A ma loko iho,ʻaʻole e hiki i keʻanoʻai ke hāʻule i kahi kaumaha o ke kaumaha o ke kino. ʻOiai inā he pono no ka hōʻiliʻili nui a me ka hoʻomaka kokeʻana o ke kaumaha, a laila pono e hāʻawi i kaʻai iʻekolu manawa i ka lā. I ka manawa hoʻokahi me kahi pāʻina e noho ma lalo oʻelua pāʻina.
ʻAʻole loaʻa i ka pēpē ke kaumaha no ka loaʻaʻana o ka waiū o ka makuahine. ʻAʻole hiki ke "hoʻonele" ka Milk i loko,ʻo ia nō nā mea kūpono e kākoʻo i ka ulu a me ke uluʻana o ke keiki. Inā mālama kahi makua hānai i nā meaʻai ma kānaʻai, hiki ke ulu iki ka momona o ka waiū, akā,ʻaʻole ia he hopena nui ma ka hoʻonuiʻia o ke kaumaha o ke pēpē, e like me ka hōʻikeʻana i nāʻike he nui.
Inā maikaʻiʻole kaʻaiʻana o ke keiki, pono ia e hānaiʻia me ka ikaika,ʻoiaiʻaʻole hiki ke hōʻeha. Ua hoʻomohala nā keiki i keʻano o ka mālama olaʻana, a no laila, me ke komoʻana i ka meaʻaiʻole e hoʻonāwaliwali ai ke keiki i kona kino. Inā hewa ka'ōpiopio, a laila ponoʻoe e pāʻani me iaʻoi aku i ka lewa, hoʻolālā, aʻaʻole hoʻoulu.
