Do you know what skills need to be mastered in neonatal winter care?
1. The room temperature in winter should be below 24℃. The room temperature in the south is likely to be too low to reach 20℃, which is easy to cause nasal congestion in newborns. Parents should try to raise the temperature. Central air conditioning or electric heating can be used to stabilize the room temperature at around 24℃. There are radiators indoors in winter in the north. It is important that the room temperature should not be too high, otherwise it is likely to lead to an increase in the body temperature of newborns, leading to fever and dehydration. When the indoor air quality is excessively dry, sprinkle some water on the road surface or use an air humidifier to improve the indoor humidity.
2. Dress warmly, comfortably and simply. Generally speaking, under the suitable room temperature standard, the baby can wear a thin cotton-padded jacket with a thin cotton-padded coat inside, and there is no need to add clothes and pants such as sweaters. Newborn clothes and trousers should be warm, soft and comfortable, simple and buttonless, and of appropriate thickness. It is recommended to wear a flannel hat for newborns. Because the head of the newborn occupies a large body surface area and generates a lot of heat through the head, it is necessary to keep the head warm, and the covering thickness or cyst need not be too tight or too strict to avoid damaging the skin or preventing the newborn from inhaling.
3. Be diligent in taking a bath. Newborns' skin is tender and prone to confusion and inflammation, especially in winter. Parents should not be careless. Even if you can't take a bath every day, you should take a bath in Qin Ying. Babies who use diapers should wash their bottoms every day. Take a bath in winter. When taking a bath, the room temperature should be moderate. Parents should take a quick posture and try to reduce the bath time. Bathing should be prepared in advance and the temperature should be controlled at around 40℃.
4. Insist on breastfeeding babies born in winter. The living environment is extreme relative to gender, and winter is the high incidence of diseases. Breastfeeding can help your baby strengthen his resistance and reduce the chance of getting sick. So mothers must insist on breastfeeding.
