Every year, winter is the most troublesome season for many mothers. Why? Babies who are usually in good health are particularly prone to diarrhea every year in winter. A few days ago, my family's second treasure returned to his hometown, and he was recruited again, and he had fever and vomiting for several days, and then diarrhea appeared in the next few days.
The doctor told us that if the child is infected with the virus, we must give the baby more water to avoid dehydration. At the same time, we were also told that the virus that causes diarrhea in babies is the most active in winter, and it is more contagious, and parents must do a good job of prevention and let children suffer less.
Looking at Erbao's uncomfortable appearance, my heart was like a knife, and I blamed myself very much. Why not take precautions to reduce your baby's risk of infection? After this experience, I took to heart the methods taught by doctors to prevent diarrhea in the baby in winter. In order to benefit more moms, now organize them into articles and share them, and moms will learn quickly.
So, how can you reduce your baby's risk of infection?
Winter is the most active season of the virus, to prevent the baby's diarrhea, we parents should do the following three precautions, so that the baby suffers less.
(1) Adjust your baby's diet
Breastfed babies should continue to breastfeed in the winter and should not wean the baby in the winter. Because breast milk is rich in digestive enzymes and antibodies, it can meet the baby's growth and development while also helping the baby resist diseases.
After 6 months of the baby, the demand for various nutrients is getting stronger and stronger, parents should add complementary foods to the baby in time, on the one hand, it can meet the baby's growth and development needs, on the other hand, it can also exercise the baby's gastrointestinal function.
However, parents need to pay attention to the fact that the baby's complementary food must be light, avoid eating greasy food, and increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
(2) Pay attention to the hygiene of diet and personal life
Baby's bottles, tableware, and water cups should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Give your baby fresh food and avoid raw and cold foods. Parents who take care of their babies should learn the correct way to wash their hands frequently, in fact, teach their babies to do the same, wash their hands before meals and after going to the toilet, and cut their nails frequently.
(3) Enhance the baby's physique and pay attention to keep warm
In winter, pay attention to keeping the baby warm, but also enhance the baby's physique. In the case of good weather, take the baby to the outdoors to participate in activities, the baby can bask in the sun, the older child, you can let him run, jump, clap the ball, etc., to help the child enhance his physique.
When the baby has diarrhea, how do parents care?
In the book "American Academy of Pediatrics Handbook for Novice Parents", it is mentioned that when the baby has diarrhea, the most important thing is to give the baby more water.
For babies of different months of age, if there is diarrhea, the American Academy of Pediatrics Novice Parents Handbook gives different nursing methods to share with you.
【For newborns】
For parents, caring for a newborn is the most difficult and requires more care. Newborn diarrhea can easily lead to dehydration, so when a newborn baby has diarrhea, parents must take the baby to see a pediatrician in time and let the doctor give the correct treatment.
【For infants】
If your baby has already started eating complementary foods, he may not have much appetite when he is sick. At this time, as long as the baby can continue to ingest water, it does not matter. However, it should be noted that it is not appropriate to give the baby juice at this time, because the juice may aggravate the diarrhea.
My baby is breastfeeding, and my approach is to increase the number of feedings to make sure the baby is hydrated enough. At the same time, some rice soup will be boiled and given to the baby to drink when it is warm boiled.
When the baby has an appetite, we can start with simple foods, such as rice noodles, thin porridge, etc., and then slowly increase the variety of foods according to the baby's acceptance.
【For young children】
During your baby's diarrhea, having your baby drink electrolyte supplement drinks can help your baby stay hydrated, and it is not recommended that your baby drink regular milk, which may worsen diarrhea. If your baby has an appetite, it's good to keep a regular diet.
