How to take care of newborns
How to take care of newborns and raise children is a process that requires a lot of hard work. At every stage of children's growth, there are always various situations. In order to make children grow up healthily, parents must always pay attention to their psychological and physiological changes. Let's take a look at how to take care of the newborn.
How to care for newborns 1 First of all, we should pay attention to keeping warm, cleaning respiratory tract, umbilical cord care, eye care and skin care, all of which must be done.
Second, to understand the normal physiological state of newborns, we should be very familiar with it, otherwise there will be unnecessary worries. In general, his skin is different from that of older children. Newborns often have fetal fat, jaundice, edema, erythema, miliaria, bruising and orange-red spots. These are all normal phenomena.
Third, the skull is soft, the seams are not closed, and the front fontanel and the back fontanel sometimes have a third fontanel. This is soft, don't press it casually.
Fourth, eye care, the eyes are often closed on the first day after birth, sometimes closed and closed, which is related to the uncoordinated eye movement function. This is normal.
Fifthly, when some newborns are born, an opening at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct is sealed by a film, because epithelial debris blocks the lacrimal duct, leading to lacrimal gland blockage. Generally, it will rupture spontaneously after 3-4 weeks, and the nasolacrimal duct will be unobstructed.
Sixth, a small number of children may have a membrane at the lower end of the nasolacrimal duct that never breaks, and tears often accumulate in the nasolacrimal duct. In addition to tears, one eye may also have purulent secretions.
Seventh, the nose is soft, easy to bend, and some are a little skewed, but there is no deformity in the future, mainly paying attention to nursing.
Eighth, small yellow particles can appear in the oral cavity, commonly known as dead knock, horse teeth and Peng Shizhu. Don't touch these.
Ninth, in other places, pay attention to the neck, armpits, groin and other discount places, that is, don't be red, pay attention to cleaning and drying.
How to take care of the newborn 2 First of all, the newborn is delicate, and the indoor air needs to flow, but it can't be blown by the cold wind. At the same time, the room temperature should be neither too hot nor too cold, controlled between 22℃ and 25℃, and the air humidity should be about 60%.
Second, honey, who are you sleeping with? This problem has been bothering young parents. In fact, the baby should sleep in separate beds, so that parents will not crush the child and prevent the baby from inhaling the exhaust gas exhaled by adults. Therefore, it is best to prepare a movable bed for the baby, which is also convenient for feeding.
Third, the newborn's tongue has a thick tongue coating on its surface. In the past, people mainly wrapped their fingers in white cloth to wipe children's mouths and tongues. However, due to the hard cloth and lack of disinfection, it is easy to scratch the delicate oral mucosa, and it will also lead to the entry of bacteria, which is prone to stomatitis and even sepsis.
Fourth, the newborn baby's central nervous system is immature and its body temperature regulation ability is poor. We should always pay attention to the change of body temperature and increase or decrease clothes with the change of temperature.
Fifth, small gloves may lead to insufficient blood supply to the baby's hands. When a baby is born, he uses his senses to understand the world. Baby's little hands constantly perceive the world through touch, which is directly related to the development of the brain. Therefore, don't wear gloves after birth.
Sixth, if you need to clean your baby's small nose, you can use a nasal inhaler, or use baby nasal drops to gently dry it with a cotton swab after the nose excrement becomes soft. Don't dig by hand.
Seventh, newborn babies should never go outdoors to bask in the sun. It's best to wait until after the full moon to take him outdoors. Sunbathing should not be too long.
Take care of the newborn. Four, no.
Don't cover the heat.
Parents are often worried that their newborn babies will catch cold, so they wear thick clothes and cover their babies with thick quilts. It is necessary for the baby to keep warm properly, but don't keep warm or suffocate for too long, otherwise it is prone to neonatal fever syndrome.
Parents should keep their babies warm correctly, for example, by adjusting the room temperature, and at the same time ensure that newborns can breathe fresh air at all times.
Don't touch the fontanel.
The fontanel of the newborn is the most sensitive and delicate place for the baby. The newborn's anterior fontanel is the weakest, without the protection of bone fragments, and the brain tissue is directly below. Therefore, the baby's fontanelle must not be touched casually. Don't press or bump hard, otherwise it may cause damage to the brain.
Don't let your navel get wet.
Before the umbilical cord falls off, make sure that the umbilical cord and roots are dry and not damp. In particular, diapers should not be covered to the navel to avoid wetting the umbilical wound after urinating. After the baby takes a bath, gently dry the skin around the umbilical cord with a clean and soft cotton towel, and then disinfect the umbilical cord and root skin with 75% ethanol.
Don't kiss the baby
Many novice parents, being parents for the first time, can't help kissing their baby's face or mouth when they see their lovely little angel. There are many ways to express your love for your baby. Never kiss a newborn baby. This is because when kissing the baby, parents are likely to pass the germs and viruses in their mouths, especially those transmitted through the respiratory tract, to the baby.
How to take care of newborns? I think we should start from the following three aspects:
1, Breastfeeding: The newborn's stomach is flat, so try to feed it flat. If you are nursing sideways in bed, don't put a pillow on your baby's head, put a pillow towel on it, and the amount of feeding should be seven or eight points full.
2. Dressing: The newborn baby has delicate skin, and the baby's close-fitting clothes must be made of pure cotton and soft fabrics. Avoid choosing clothes with other fabrics, which will lead to a rash for the newborn baby, and increase or decrease clothes for the baby according to the weather changes.
3. Diapers: Newborn babies are delicate. When it was born, Ma Bao could choose soft diapers to pad the baby. When the baby's umbilical cord falls off automatically and the skin at the umbilical cord is similar to the skin at other parts of the abdomen, use diapers for the baby to avoid direct friction with the baby's navel belt.
Taking care of newborns has the following things that are easily overlooked:
1. Newborns are advised to drink water for one day before breastfeeding. Glucose water is a prebiotic. Glucose water can effectively help newborns to metabolize, expel fetal toxicity and prevent newborns from getting jaundice.
2. Baby's temperature: No matter whether the baby is born in hot summer or cold winter, the baby's body system can't adjust its temperature by itself, so when the baby sleeps, it is suggested that Ma Bao sleep next to the baby and warm the bed for the baby, or Ma Bao needs to take the baby's temperature frequently. The thermometer is not easy to measure, and you can also use the simplest method-hand measurement, touch the temperature of the baby's palm and forehead to see if it is hot, so you can know if the baby has a fever.
3, the baby's navel: the baby is just born, the umbilical cord is still at the navel, once every one or two days, using compound iodine disinfection, usually takes 2-4 weeks, will automatically fall off, when bathing the baby, pay attention to stick a navel sticker on the baby's navel to avoid being infected by bath water.
4. There is eczema/red buttocks on the baby's face: the baby's buttocks are red, or there are red pimples. In fact, it is diaper eczema, just like eczema on the face. Generally, it is because when the baby drools or eats milk, the milk/saliva brushes on the face and the buttocks are airtight, resulting in red spots. Ma Bao should pay more attention. As long as the red spots start, put some edible salt in the boiling water, wipe the baby's mouth and protect his face.
