Hello everyone, I'm Pinocchio!
For most new parents, how to properly raise their children has become a big challenge. Therefore, many families are elderly people helping to bring babies, but due to the different parenting concepts of the two generations, there are many contradictions for a time.
01, how to take care of the baby after pulling the rice, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law argue endlessly
My friend Nian Nian, just upgraded to be a mother, lacks experience in how to care for children, but is also very studious, such as how to change diapers, how to mix milk powder, etc., Nian Nian quickly learned through online videos.
In order to take better care of the baby, Nian Nian's mother-in-law has come from her hometown to help with the baby full-time since the baby was born. All along, there has been no contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
But some time ago, Nian Nian and her mother-in-law had a dispute over how to clean it after the baby pulled the rice dumplings, and the thing was probably like this:
Nian Nian found that the baby's little PP was red, just saw the baby pulling the rice, the mother-in-law was wiping with very rough toilet paper. So, loudly stopped: "Mom, the baby's skin is so delicate, how can it be wiped with toilet paper, should be washed with water first?" ”
The mother-in-law ignored the thoughts and continued to wipe the baby with toilet paper. After wiping, the mother-in-law said: "Gently rub it, how can it be scraped on the skin, wash it with water, the water heater is not hot for half a day, how much waste of water." ”
"Waste some water, waste it, otherwise if you scratch your baby's skin, you will be even more annoyed," Nian Nian replied;
"Anyway, the money is not earned by you, of course you are not distressed!" Besides, I used to have a few children, all of them were wiped with toilet paper, and they didn't grow up well," the mother-in-law murmured;
Nian Nian didn't want to argue with her mother-in-law anymore, so she carried the baby to the bedroom.
02. After the baby pulls the rice, should it be washed with water or wiped with paper?
For this question, in fact, there is no correct answer, different parents may practice differently, some may be accustomed to rinsing with warm water, some may be accustomed to wiping with a paper towel.
After my daughter pulled the rice ball when she was a child, her husband always used to wipe it with a paper towel first, and then rinse it with warm water, and occasionally there was a red PP condition. At that time, Pino's mother consulted a pediatrician on the question of "whether to wipe it with paper or rinse it with water first" after pulling the rice.
The pediatrician said at the time that the baby's different feeding methods may have slight differences in nursing. But in general, as long as the baby's small PP is not red, how to rub it is good.
Exclusively breastfed babies
In general, in low-month-old babies who are exclusively breastfed, although the number of stools is relatively fixed, most of them are yellow paste, which is more troublesome to clean.
Each time to open warm water to rinse, it is not practical, then it is recommended to use a cotton soft towel dipped in warm water to wipe, after wiping, remember to let the baby's small PP dry for a while, the skin is dry and then wear diapers.
But for babies who are slightly older, especially babies after saving their stomachs, the number of stools per day is relatively fixed and dry, and it is convenient to clean, for health and health, then you can directly use warm water to flush small PP.
It is worth noting that whether it is rinsed with warm water or wiped with a cotton soft towel, it is recommended to rinse or wipe from front to back. At the same time, to control the water temperature, the cleaning water temperature should be slightly higher than the back of the hand, and it is appropriate to keep it at about 38-40 degrees.
After rinsing, wait for the baby's small PP to dry completely, apply the buttock cream, and then put on the diaper or pants to avoid the phenomenon of "red PP".
In addition, we should also pay attention to the problem of keeping warm, especially in winter, and clean as quickly as possible to avoid the baby getting cold and cold.
Milk-fed or mixed-feeding babies
In general, milk-fed or mixed-fed babies have fewer and drier stools than exclusively breastfed babies, and there is no extra poop around the buttocks after pulling the stool.
At this time, if the parents have enough time and are very convenient, they can choose to rinse with water; if the conditions do not allow, the parents are in a hurry, you can wipe it clean with a cotton towel dipped in warm water.
03, give the baby a small PP, these points of attention should be kept in mind
After the baby pulls the rice, the cleaning and wiping work seems simple, but in fact, there are many precautions. After all, the baby's skin is delicate, and if you don't pay attention, you may damage the baby's skin.
After the baby pulls the sorghum, in terms of rinsing:
First of all, when helping the baby rinse the small PP, mothers should first use soap or hand sanitizer to wash their hands, so as not to stain their hands with bacteria, cause cross infection when the baby rinses, and trigger the baby's skin allergies.
Secondly, be sure to control the water temperature, too hot or too cold, it is easy to burn the baby's private skin. Mothers, you can use the back of your hand to test the water temperature, the temperature is slightly higher than the back of your hand.
Finally, when the mother rinses the baby, she should pay attention to the order from the end of the trip to avoid cross-infection of the private parts. After rinsing, be sure to dry the skin, then apply buttock cream and put on diapers or pants.
After the baby pulls the stick, it is as far as the wipe is concerned
First of all, give the baby a tissue to wipe, and choose a baby-specific cotton towel as much as possible, rather than a rough toilet paper towel.
At the same time, when choosing a baby-specific cotton towel, it is also necessary to choose not to add any artificial flavor and alcohol, so as to avoid the mother from causing friction and damage to the baby's skin during the wiping process.
Do not wipe directly with a towel that is not very clean, not to mention the skin, it may also cause the baby's skin allergies or other problems.
After the daughter once pulled the rice, the mother-in-law directly wiped it with a diaper, which frightened the husband to directly shout to stop, and at that time, the mother-in-law complained about "blind tossing", at that time, Pino's mother also secretly supported the husband.
Secondly, pay attention to the order and angle of wiping, when wiping the baby small PP, mothers must control the strength, not too heavy, so as not to hurt the baby;
At the same time, in the process of wiping, it is necessary to pay attention to the order of wiping from the back to the back, and do not rub from the back to the front, so as not to cause infection of the private parts.
In short, the cleaning of the baby after pulling the rice ball seems simple, but if it is not operated properly, it may also cause harm to the baby, and mothers need to pay attention.
