1. Neonatal jaundice
Neonatal jaundice is generally physiological.
It appears about 2 days after the baby is born, and gradually begins to fade around the 7th day.
2. Breast milk? dried milk? liquid milk?
Breast milk is the ideal natural food for babies and exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for 6 months.
After 6 months, complementary foods can be added, while breastfeeding or formula feeding until 1-2 years old.
Infants under 1 year of age have not yet developed their stomachs and intestines, and should not eat fresh milk, which is easy to cause diarrhea.
3. Can food supplements be added with sugar and salt?
Supplementary foods for babies should be diversified, preferably without adding sugar.
If you do need to add as little as possible. At the same time, food supplements should be salt-free and without condiments.
4. Umbilical cord
The time of umbilical cord detachment in newborns is generally 1 to 2 weeks after birth.
After each bath, it is best to use cotton swab sauce to disinfect the umbilical cord with iodine, and the umbilical cord should remain dry after disinfection.
5. Supplemental iron supplement food
Animal liver, beef and other iron contain more and are easily absorbed by the baby.
Egg yolks and spinach contain a certain amount of iron, but they are not easily absorbed and are not used as iron supplements for infants and young children.
6, fever
When the baby's body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, it is best to physically cool down, give the baby more warm boiled water to cool down, and rest more.
Above 38.5 ° C, appropriate cooling measures need to be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
7. Diarrhea
Babies develop diarrhea and do not need fasting and can continue breastfeeding.
At the same time, drink more warm boiled water to avoid dehydration of the baby.
