The neonatal period is a special period, after the child lands on the ground, he is very uncomfortable with the outside world.
At this time, his appetite is not large, but it grows very fast, in just one month, the child's body is important to grow by 2 to 3 pounds, and the length of the body grows by 4 to 6 centimeters, which is equivalent to the growth rate of the child in one year after the age of three.
Newborns can only cry, and there is no way to even fall asleep on their own, so they need careful care from their mothers.
Nursing the newborn, the mother keeps in mind that "seven to do three can not be done", the baby grows better and healthier
Seven things to do: breastfeed, change diapers frequently, vaccinate 24 hours a day, screen newborn diseases, pay attention to umbilical cord care, supplement vitamin AD, and show children black and white cards.
Breastfeeding is one hour after birth
Breast milk is the best food for the baby, especially colostrum, that is, the milk secreted by the mother within one week of the child's birth, and there are a large number of immune active factors in it, which can improve the baby's immunity.
And the colostrum calories are relatively high, although the child drinks less, but can also drink full.
Half an hour to an hour after the birth of a child is at the height of the sucking ability.
Sucking breast milk for the child as soon as possible helps to stimulate the secretion of breast milk, and also helps the child's intestines to establish the intestinal flora as soon as possible, the intestines are peristaltic, and the child discharges the fetal stool as soon as possible to avoid jaundice.
In addition to drinking breast milk as early as possible after birth, breastfeeding should also be given more during the newborn period, because the child's stomach capacity is small, so breastfeeding is frequent.
It is necessary to change the diaper frequently and not get wet
Newborns begin to defecate on the first day after birth, and after the fetal stool is cleaned, yellow, relatively thin stool will be discharged, and generally 2 to 3 times a day will be discharged.
The number of urination is even more, 6 or even 10 times a day,
And the child's shit and urine is stimulating to the child's delicate ass, so the mother must change the diaper frequently, at least 6 to 8 times a day, and wash the child's ass every time the diaper is not wet to avoid the ass becoming red.
Hepatitis B and BCG vaccination within 24 hours
If there are no other problems after birth, the newborn is usually vaccinated against hepatitis B on the first day after birth, which is mainly used to prevent hepatitis B.
The BCG vaccine is mainly used to prevent tuberculosis. If the child cannot be vaccinated in time because of premature birth or other reasons, it should be re-implanted as soon as possible after that, which can well avoid the child from being infected.
Newborn disease screening is performed
Most mothers go through a detailed obstetric examination when they are pregnant, but the obstetric examination does not detect all the problems.
Newborns are screened for neonatal diseases after birth, usually phenylacetone and thyroid screening, as well as hearing screening, which are performed within 72 hours of the child's birth.
Now in many places, such screening is carried out free of charge, and parents must cooperate with the doctor in time.
Pay attention to your baby's umbilical cord care
The child who is born normally is about three days in the hospital, and the caesarean section can be discharged after about 7 days, and after discharge, the baby's umbilical cord has not fallen off, and the doctor will generally send cotton swabs and iodine to the mothers to disinfect home.
Mothers should routinely disinfect their children in the morning and evening after they go home, and avoid excessive contact with water on the umbilical cord when bathing, and when putting on the diaper for the child, they should also prevent the diaper from being too large to the umbilical cord, which will rub the umbilical cord and cause bleeding.
Give your child vitamin AD supplements
Vitamin AD supplementation is required a few days after birth, with at least 400 IU of vitamin D per day.
Vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium in the intestine, promote the deposition of calcium in the bones, if you do not give children vitamin D supplementation, it is easy to lead to rickets, affecting the height growth of children.
Vitamin A is also very helpful for the health of children's vision and the growth of children's bones, so vitamin AD supplementation should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
Show your child a black and white card
Newborns can see distances of 20 to 30 centimeters from themselves near the end of the month, and are particularly interested in black and white tukas.
Showing children black and white cards can stimulate the development of children's brains and also stimulate the development of children's vision.
Therefore, it is recommended that when the child is nearly the full moon, it is necessary to play with the child more and let the child watch more black and white cards.
These 7 things can't be left behind, but there are three things that are best not to do: don't give your child a pillow, drink breast milk and don't drink water, and don't take your child to bask in the sun.
(1) Do not give your child a pillow
The neck bending, waist bending and chest curvature of newborns have not yet formed. At this time, giving the child a pillow is not conducive to his sleep, but will cause him to have poor breathing at night and affect the child's sleep.
Therefore, do not use a pillow when the child is still sitting unsteadily, and it is generally recommended to use a pillow for the child after the age of one.
(2) Children do not need to drink water to drink breast milk
Newborns are mainly exclusively breastfed, with more than 88% of breast milk hydrated.
Therefore, when the child drinks breast milk, it is to drink a lot of water, and then give the child water to drink water, which is a snake to add, but it will also lead to a large amount of water in the child's stomach, and the child is not willing to drink milk again.
(3) Do not take children to bask in the sun
The skin of newborns is relatively delicate, the skin is relatively thin, the thickness is not as good as 1/10 of adult skin, and the skin, sweat glands and blood vessels of infants and young children are not fully developed, and the ability to regulate temperature is very low.
It is easy to sunburn when carrying a newborn baby out in the sun, and it will also affect vision.
The care of newborns is very exquisite, and mothers can avoid pitfalls by scientific parenting!
