The baby is born around the Spring Festival, and welcoming the new students and the Spring Festival reunion can be said to be a matter of joy and joy. However, how to protect the baby's health and health, safe and secure to spend the first Spring Festival in life, novice parents will inevitably be like a big enemy, for this reason, Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital neonatal second department experts specially gave new fathers a few good ideas.
First, minimize visits to relatives and friends
The family has added a new baby, bringing special joy to the family, relatives and friends during the Spring Festival want to see the cute baby, novice parents should learn to politely refuse, it is recommended that the family mainly receive, minimize the contact between visitors and the baby, but also to prevent visitors with acute diseases or infectious diseases from contacting the baby. In addition, for the sake of the baby's health, family members also try not to take their children out to visit relatives and friends, celebrate the New Year, etc.
Second, do not let the baby touch too much "kissing and hugging high"
At a party or at home, parents should tell friends and relatives not to kiss the baby casually, this action may pass on foreign germs to the baby, especially pneumococcus, which is known as the "health killer" of infants and young children; Pinching the face of this small action of "showing love" is also not advisable, which may squeeze the baby's parotid glands and parotid ducts, causing the baby to drool, oral mucositis, etc.; In addition, some relatives and friends have no experience with the baby, like to lift the baby high or shake it back and forth, but they do not know that the brain and spine of the newborn baby are not perfect, and they cannot withstand large impacts and shaking.
Third, avoid sound fright
The sound of firecrackers during the Spring Festival, the loud ringing of the New Year's greeting telephone, relatives and friends talking and laughing in the living room, the newborn's eardrums are fragile, the nervous system is not perfect, the sudden noise is easy to frighten the baby, and the new parents are also hurt in the process of constantly sleeping. Therefore, it is recommended that new parents choose a relatively quiet room for Bao Dad to rest, pay attention to closing doors and windows to reduce noise during the concentrated time of firecrackers, if the sound is too loud, do some necessary sound insulation measures, such as cotton balls covering the baby's ears, if necessary, hold the baby in the arms to comfort or swaddle the package, increase the sense of security.
Fourth, the mother eats right, the baby is healthy
Mothers in the nursing period should pay attention to dietary hygiene, the Spring Festival should be restrained from wine and delicacies, greasy food is easy to cause breast duct blockage, milk stasis, and even acute mastitis and other issues, and babies who eat breast milk may also have indigestion, diarrhea and other conditions. Do not eat except greasy, it is also recommended not to drink cold drinks, indigestible fried foods to eat less, cold mix platters do not eat more.
Fifth, the rhythm of life is regular, and the baby's habits are formed well
The daily keywords of the Spring Festival are happy, lively and busy, and many people's life rules are disrupted, which also directly affects the health of new mothers and newborns, which is not conducive to the postpartum recovery of new mothers and the establishment of baby sleep rules. Therefore, mothers and babies should not disrupt the rules of life because of the festival, and it is a good choice to live a quiet Spring Festival in a quiet and clean environment.
