In fact, many new parents see the baby at first glance, more or less think the baby is ugly!

The "ugly" of newborn babies just born is not without reason, and 8 kinds of newborn physiological phenomena are "behind the scenes".

However, new mothers do not have to worry too much, the baby will not always be so "ugly", after a month or two it will become good-looking, the longer the better!

Why are newborns so ugly? It is 6 physiological phenomena at work, grow up just fine, don't deal with it blindly

Phenomenon 1: The newborn baby has a large head and a small body

Since the baby's growth and development in the mother's body, it is to develop the nervous system first, and then develop the limbs, so every time we do a B ultrasound examination, we always see that the baby's head is large, relatively speaking, the body is small, but this is a normal situation.

When the baby is born and after birth for a period of time, it is still the head is larger than the body, and the careful mother may have found that the doctor can judge whether the baby can have a smooth delivery, and the "double top diameter" of the fetus is an important indicator, as long as the head can come out, the body can come out.

After the baby is born, the ratio of head to body is 1:4 (1:8 for adults), and 1/3 of the body weight is also occupied by the head. So the new mother sees the baby's head and short limbs, don't feel strange anymore.

Phenomenon two: Born for a period of time, the body curls up like a small frog

The baby develops in the mother's womb, but as the baby gets bigger, the uterus is obviously not enough to live, the baby is very smart, they will let their bodies curl up and continue to live in the big warm and comfortable house of the womb.

This will cause the baby to remain in this position for a long time after birth, curling up like a small frog, but don't worry, as the baby grows, over the next few months, the limbs will gradually stretch.

Some elderly people in the family will leggings for the baby, and say that this can make the baby's legs straight and long when he grows up.

Of course, such a practice has no scientific basis, but artificially affects the natural development of the baby, not recommended!

Phenomenon 3: The head of a normal baby will be deformed and there will be scalp hematoma

Perhaps the mothers have found that the baby born smoothly is not as round as the head of the baby who was born by caesarean section.

Most of the babies born naturally have pointed heads and even very strange shapes, because at birth, the baby's head is deformed by the squeeze of the birth canal.

But it will not affect the brain development, as the baby gradually grows, the baby's head shape will gradually return to normal, new parents do not have to worry too much.

In addition, if the baby has difficulty in childbirth during the birth process, the doctor will sometimes use the method of induction of labor, that is, the way of fetal head attraction, to help the baby successfully deliver out of the body, which is also easy to cause hematoma in the baby's scalp.

But most of them will also be absorbed and restored within a period of time after birth, and parents do not have to worry too much.

Phenomenon four: newborn baby, full of fetal hair, and a lot of fetal fat

The newborn baby is like a small monkey, with a dense layer of small hair, which is called "fetal hair".

Other babies are born with a dirty, greasy white substance on their bodies, which is called "fetal fat" by doctors.

After the baby is born, the doctor will carry out a simple scrub, but the fetal fat is not treated clean and does not matter, in the next few days, through the bath, wear and undress, will gradually be washed off, rubbed off, mothers must not forcibly wash off and cut off, this layer of fetal fat can protect the baby's skin.

Baby hair on the body does not have to worry about affecting the appearance, after a period of time after birth will gradually fall off, then the baby is a white skin, beautiful and cute baby!

Phenomenon five: long-term soaking in amniotic fluid before birth, and wrinkled skin after birth

The baby who has just given birth not only looks dirty, but also looks like a lot of folds in the skin, wrinkled like an old man, and many newborns are called "little old men" by their parents.

This is because when the baby is in the mother,It is soaked in a warm amniotic fluid environment, and after birth, the skin will shrink for the first time, and it will look wrinkled.

But don't worry too much, a few days after birth, the baby's skin will molt because the world is too dry, and then it will slowly become smooth and elastic.

Phenomenon 6: Some babies also have Mongolian spots

Mongolian spots are commonly known as birthmarks, and many babies will have Mongolian spots at birth, at the back of the waist or at the buttocks.

The reason is that the baby is in the development stage, melanocytes are calm and affected, parents must not think that the baby has Mongolian spots look dirty or unhealthy.

Some Mongol spots fade until they disappear as your baby grows older, but others appear on the face, are darker in color, and do not completely fade even with age, which may also be related to heredity.

In short, the previous phenomena are normal neonatal phenomena, and parents should correctly understand them. After the baby is born, the correct maintenance helps the baby adapt to the world quickly, reduce the pit, and grow better.
