New parents pay attention, for the sake of the baby, these must be understood!

Babies sometimes sleep with their arms up suddenly, their legs straight, and they feel "frightened," a reaction known as the newborn startle reflex. This is a reaction triggered by the baby's nervous system not yet developing, and it will slowly disappear after three months.

The jumping reflex will make the baby sleep unsteadily, and the mother can wrap the baby tightly with the bag, or you can use the sleeping bag that can be packed, so that the baby will sleep more steadily.

After three or four days of birth, many babies will start to turn yellow, and the whites of the eyes will be slightly yellowed, which is not a disease, but a normal newborn jaundice. This is due to the yellowing of the skin caused by elevated bilirubin in newborns. After a week or two, the jaundice will naturally disappear without worrying too much.

However, there is a situation to be aware of, if the baby has jaundice within 24 hours of birth, it is pathological jaundice and needs to be treated with blue light in the hospital.

The nasal passage of the newborn is very narrow, and the fluff on the clothes, the dust in the air, and the residual milk are easy to stuff into his small nose.

When you find that your baby sneezes occasionally, he is not cold, but is trying to clean his nose, so mothers don't have to worry!

In the first few months of life, the vast majority of babies will spit up milk, which is also a normal physiological phenomenon, when the baby will sit at six or seven months and no longer spit up. Here are a few small ways to relieve your baby from spitting up (but not completely):

1. Help the baby hiccup after feeding;

2. Do not shake or squeeze the baby for half an hour after feeding;

3. Hold the baby vertically for 20 minutes after feeding (rest assured, the vertical hug is no problem, as long as you support the baby's head and ass, it will be OK!). ）。

However, if the following phenomenon of spitting up milk occurs, mothers need to pay attention:

1. The frequency of spitting up is increasing and it is squirting (the milk will squirt over your thighs to the ground);

2. The protruding milk is green;

3. Frequent spitting up, even squirting out of the nose, and crying as soon as you eat milk, unable to soothe (may be gastroesophageal reflux).

Many babies start to emit yellow discharge a few weeks after they are born, and some mothers think that the baby is on fire.

In fact, because the lacrimus ducts of newborns are easily blocked, these yellow fluids will flow out of them. You just need to gently massage your baby's drain tubes, and after a while it will be fine.

A mother once asked me that when a newborn baby breathes, it feels that there is phlegm in the throat, which is a very normal phenomenon, do not give medicine to the baby according to your own feelings.

Towards the end of the full moon or the second month, the baby often drools a lot, but can not swallow smoothly, these saliva accumulates in the throat, when it encounters air, it will make a purring sound. When your baby learns to swallow quickly, these sounds will disappear.

Because breast milk naturally has the effect of promoting defecation, so babies who eat breast milk generally have frequent and soft stools, which is a normal phenomenon, and mothers should not think that their children are diarrhea.

True diarrhea, watery, as thin as egg flower soup, mucus, foul smell, and the baby will also have other symptoms such as crying, poor eating, and restless sleep. For newborns, mild diarrhea requires more feeding, and severe ones should seek medical attention as soon as possible to prevent dehydration.
