The first time I was a parent, I was always a little busy, especially when I looked at that small clump, I didn't know how to report it, let alone take care of it. So, what do newborn babies need to pay attention to in terms of nursing?
Be aware of various accidental injuries
Cold resistant
Babies born in winter should pay attention to keep warm, the temperature is relatively low, to prevent the newborn body temperature from dropping to 35 ° C, because below this temperature, the baby's skin will become dark red or jaundice, the whole body is cold, the skin becomes hard, the chest is hard and swollen, causing breathing difficulties, acidosis and pulmonary hemorrhage. This condition is more common in premature babies and is medically known as neonatal scleros or neonatal cold injury syndrome.
When the weather is too cold, pay attention to indoor warmth, before the baby is discharged home, first increase the temperature of the baby's room, pay attention to the warmth on the road, to avoid the baby from the cold.
Anti-suffocation
If the baby is in the same bed as an adult, the bed should not be too soft, the pillow should not be too soft, it is best to cover a bed of quilts alone, do not cover a bed with parents, to prevent parents from falling asleep and pulling the quilt, covering the baby's mouth and nose, causing suffocation.
If the baby sleeps alone in a small bed, adults should pay attention to covering the baby's quilt and not covering their mouth and nose to prevent suffocation.
At the same time, do not put clothes, toys, ropes, etc. on the bed where the baby sleeps, so as not to cover the baby's neck or block the baby's mouth and nose, causing suffocation.
Baby vaccination care
Within 24 hours of the baby's birth, the first dose of BCG vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine should be given. After one month, receive a second dose of hepatitis B vaccine.
It should be noted that babies of this age can only bathe after three days of vaccination, because the baby is still too small at this time, and after vaccination, the injection site heals slowly, generally taking about three days. If the injection place is not healed, bathing can easily cause redness and swelling at the inoculation site, and may even cause bacterial infection, resulting in the baby's fever.
For babies who have just finished vaccination, parents should pay attention not to let the vaccination site get wet, do not let the baby carry out strenuous exercise, let the baby rest more, and pay attention to observe whether the baby has some side effects after vaccination, if the baby is found to have adverse reactions, it is necessary to find a doctor in time to diagnose and treat.
At the same time, it should be noted that if the baby's vaccination time is up, and the baby is sick at this time, you need to wait for the baby to be well before vaccinating, and it does not matter if you delay a little time.
Baby dresses and diapers
clothings
Newborn clothes to wear cotton fabrics, do not chemical fiber or printed clothing, then the baby's skin is more delicate, cotton clothing is soft, absorbent water, will not cause harm to the baby's skin, chemical fiber or dye will be irritating to the newborn's skin. The color is preferably white, and when there is dirt such as spitting up milk, it is necessary to find it in time for washing.
At the same time, the clothes should be as loose as possible, which does not affect the activity of the baby's body, because now the baby's strength is relatively small, and too tight clothing will cause the baby to be unable to move, affecting the baby's development.
Diapers
Diapers should choose soft, water-absorbent, breathable products, so that they can be changed frequently, and do not let diapers with urine and feces contact with the baby's skin for too long, so as not to cause the baby's red ass and even cause bacterial infection.
When changing diapers, pay attention to cleaning the small buttocks, apply the appropriate amount of skin care cream after washing, at the same time, the diapers cannot be wrapped too tightly, hindering the baby's free stretching.
Baby feeding details
If it is breastfeeding
Before breastfeeding, scrub your nipples and breasts with warm water. When feeding, let your baby's mouth hold most of the areola. Both breasts should be fed in turn, do not eat only one side, to prevent the occurrence of large breasts and small breasts in the future.
During the feeding process, the mother should pay attention to the breast not to block the baby's nostrils to prevent suffocation. At the end of feeding, hold the baby up in time and gently pat the back until the baby burps to prevent the baby from spilling milk.
Exclusive breastfeeding, 6 months without water.
If it is artificial feeding
Milk powder should be prepared in strict accordance with the instructions, not too thick or too thin, to prevent the baby from indigestion or stunting. In addition, pay attention to the temperature of the milk powder, you can first drip the milk on the back of the hand to test the temperature, the temperature is suitable and then feed the baby, you can also prepare a thermostat. At the same time, pay attention to try not to let the baby inhale too much air to prevent milk leakage.
Baby bathing needs attention
When washing, it starts from the neck, and then goes to the body and limbs. When washing your baby's back, hold the front of the body with one hand, turn the baby over, and wash it from the back to the buttocks. After washing the whole body, wrap the whole body with a clean bath towel and wipe the water dry.
The elbow socket, armpit, neck, and base of the thigh should be specially washed, which are easy to hide. At the same time, pay attention to prevent water from entering the ear, and prevent the umbilical cord from getting wet before it falls off.
After washing, you can rub some lotion on your baby, don't use tasty powder or the like.
Baby sleep care
The baby should ensure sufficient sleep time, between 18-20 hours. However, if it is a premature baby, be careful not to sleep too long, and you can free up 2-3 hours to play simple games with your baby.
