At present, there are many sayings of fetal toxicity, especially if there are some relatively abnormal situations after the birth of the fetus, then many people will blame these abnormalities on "fetal toxicity", or think that it is caused by some inappropriate behaviors during pregnancy, such as frequent intimacy, etc., but is this really the case?
01 The baby was born wrapped in "white frost", and grandma insisted that there was too much fetal poison
Ms. Lin of Guangdong gave birth to a small male treasure of 5 pounds and 7 two some time ago, the child was relatively thin when he was born, coupled with the wrinkles of the whole body, there are many "white frosts" on the body, which looks more old-fashioned. At that time, seeing that there was a lot of "white frost" on the child, Ms. Lin's mother-in-law insisted that there was a lot of fetal poison, and at the same time blamed Ms. Lin for eating too many things that were easy to catch fire during pregnancy.
Ms. Lin believes that this has nothing to do with diet, and she quarreled with her mother-in-law because of this problem. Just when the controversy was in place, the doctor walked into the ward and heard the controversy between the two, and then he explained, "What looks like 'white frost' on the child's body is actually fetal fat, which has nothing to do with the so-called fetal poison." ”
Later, after a deeper explanation, the old man reluctantly believed it, but in the later stage, he was still very cautious about Ms. Lin's dietary arrangements, and it was estimated that he still insisted that the fetal fat on the little grandson was inseparable from the diet.
02 What exactly is fetal fat? Is there any impact?
Many people do not understand fetal fat, many babies will be more or less wrapped in fetal fat when they are born, it is actually a secretion, there are two main reasons for its formation. One is that when the fetus develops in the stomach of pregnant mothers, the body will also undergo metabolism, and this process will have a lot of secretions discharged from the skin, and some of them will remain on the surface of the skin, forming fetal fat.
On the other hand, it is caused by overnutrition, because the normal development of the fetus needs to obtain nutrition from the pregnant mother's body through the umbilical cord, and then the pregnant mothers will also supplement more nutrition, just in order to be able to fully supply the baby's growth and development, and even sometimes can not grasp the degree of supplementation, in the case of excessive supplementation, if the fetus can not fully absorb nutrients, then excess nutrients will be discharged by the body, and the same will form fetal fat on the surface of the skin.
Normally, if the fetus is more nutritious during pregnancy, the more fetal fat it will be, which is normal. Maybe the baby is born wrapped in fetal fat, which will make the mother look a little upset, do not understand why the baby is like this, and even worry about whether it will be a health problem. But in fact, it is not, so the mothers should not worry too much, but should be happy for the fetus, because thanks to the protection of fetal fat, the skin of the fetus will not ulcerate.
You know, the fetus lives in the amniotic fluid in the mother's belly, and the fetal fat can play a good protective role. At the same time, there is another role of fetal fat, that is, when in labor, if the baby has more fetal fat, it will actually be better to give birth, because it has a lubricating effect, which can make the fetus pass through the birth canal more smoothly.
There are also some people who say that the baby has too much fetal fat, because pregnant women during pregnancy, due to the intimate behavior between husband and wife is too frequent, resulting in too much fetal fat on the fetus, in fact, this statement is wrong. From the above analysis, we can see that the formation of fetal fat is not related to the intimacy of husband and wife, so do not believe such statements.
03 How to deal with fetal fat?
After the birth of the fetus baby, many novice mothers will feel uncomfortable when they see the fetal fat, and some mothers even have obsessive-compulsive disorder, directly to the hand to buckle, just want to see the baby clean appearance. But in fact, this practice is not advisable, because the newborn's skin is very delicate, and the fetal fat is initially sticky relatively firmly, if the mothers at this time to buckle with their bare hands, it is likely to buckle bleeding, and then destroy the resistance of the baby's skin, serious infection problems may occur.
Therefore, for newborn fetal fetal fat problems, it is best to wait until it falls off naturally. The natural shedding mentioned here refers to every time in the bath, shampoo, with infant-specific washing products to slowly gently massage the baby, although it does not matter if it cannot be washed down at this time, do not forcibly erase, otherwise it is easy to bleed.
The more times the baby is washed, the fetal fat will slowly fall off, and the mothers do not have to worry about it stubbornly remaining. Of course, there are also some fetal fat is indeed more stubborn, in view of this situation, in the later stage, the mothers can apply glycerin to the baby, because the glycerin can slowly dissolve the fetal fat, this process also needs to be gently massaged, can not be too hard, wait until dissolved and then gently erase with gauze.
Conclusion: Pregnant mothers and family members should learn more parenting knowledge during pregnancy, escort during pregnancy, and pave the way for the care of the baby after birth, otherwise if there is an emergency after that, or when facing some problems, random handling is likely to bring greater harm to the baby, and regret is useless.
