Guo Mama has a nurse friend who works at the obstetric front desk. Some time ago, she shared a helpless thing.
Nurse friends are usually most afraid of leaving private contact information for maternal families, because once they stay, many times they become free consultation objects. Consulting is not afraid, afraid of miscommunication, but also have to bear their own responsibility, and finally make it inside and outside is not a person.
A few days ago, a pregnant woman's family came to make trouble.
After the baby is discharged from the hospital, it is the grandmother who takes care of it. Before she was discharged from the hospital, a nurse friend had taught her how to care for the baby's umbilical cord, but Grandma was worried that there were other problems. Therefore, Grandma had to add the Nurse Friend's WeChat, because it was a friend of a friend, so she added it, and also taught the baby Grandma how to care for the umbilical cord again through the video.
In the afternoon, Grandma rushed to the hospital with the baby in her arms and accused her nurse friend: "How did you become a nurse?" According to your method, my grandson's umbilical cord fell off and he was bleeding! ”
Then the pediatrician came to check and told the baby grandma that everything was normal, and finally gave up.
Regarding the care of newborns, many parents are relatively unfamiliar, and it is normal that they do not understand. But to blame the nurse for this is also a bit unreasonable. However, if parents can know some knowledge of parenting earlier, then in the process of parenting, there will be a lot less "fright".
Within one week of the baby's birth, there are 8 special phenomena that are physiologically prone to appear, and parents should learn to deal with them
Some physiological phenomena are very short in the first week of a newborn's birth, but they can make new parents helpless. If parents make mistakes at this time, it may affect the baby's growth and development.
The first phenomenon: drowsiness
Pistachio's grandmother, my mother, said that for the first three days of my birth, I slept without opening my eyes. At that time, the medical conditions were not so developed, and the family only thought that they had given birth to a "fool", and they were in a hurry, and they did not know where to go to seek medical examination.
In fact, newborns are particularly drowsy. Because they have just been born, the brain has not yet matured, the excitability of the cerebral cortex is relatively low, and the stomach capacity is particularly small, and the demand for food is not very large, so the sleep time will be very long.
Especially in the first 3 or 4 days of newborn life, the waking time is even only 1 or 2 hours a day. Only when you are hungry and uncomfortable will you cry, and when you are comfortable and full, you will continue to sleep.
At this stage, parents should not always think of waking up the baby because the baby has been sleeping and watching the baby play with his eyes open. At this time, parents shout at most the baby to get up and drink milk, and the rest, there is really no need to wake up the baby.
The second phenomenon: defecation
Not long after the pistachio was born, her grandmother suddenly smelled a stink. Then I kept looking in the ward, what was it, why it stinked.
In the end, it turned out that it was pistachios that smelled very bad. Picked up the pistachio, found that the crib was no problem, and then touched the pistachio's diaper, only to find that she pulled the poop.
Changing the pistachios for diapers and giving grandma pistachios a big shock, because the pistachios pulled poop, it was too dark, and it was very smelly. Grandma Pistachio went to the doctor, because in her impression, the child's size would be golden, not black.
In fact, newborns will excrete fetal stool within 2 days of birth. The difference between fetal poop and golden poop is that the fetal poop is very smelly, and it is mainly dark green and dark brown. After 3 or 4 days of birth, the baby's poop gradually changes to normal yellow, which also means that the fetal stool has been completely exhausted.
The third phenomenon: pseudophysiological periods
On the 3rd day after the birth of pistachios, when Grandma was washing her ass, she found a little white thing, didn't care, washed it off, went to ask the nurse, and the nurse said it was okay.
On the fourth day, when washing the fart, I found something white again, and it was a big piece. This frightened Grandma not lightly, and immediately asked Guo Dad to call the nurse. The nurse came to see it and said, "What I told you yesterday, it's okay. After asking carefully, I learned that this was a "false vaginal discharge."
This situation will only occur in female babies, in the 3-7 days after the birth of female babies, it is easy to appear this "pseudo menstrual period phenomenon", that is, "false vaginal discharge", "false menstruation", generally only last 3-4 days, will naturally disappear.
Parents do not need to do special treatment for this, but they need to wash the baby girl's ass when the diaper is not wet.
The fourth phenomenon: yellowing of the body
When the pistachios were first born, except for some fetal hair, the whole was still white. Because it was a caesarean section, we were not discharged until the fifth day. On the day of discharge, Grandma Pistachio felt wrong with how to see it, because the pistachios were getting yellower.
The old man was also worried about whether it was jaundice, so before being discharged from the hospital, he still let the doctor measure the jaundice value of the pistachios, and finally confirmed that it was within a reasonable range, and the old man carefully took the child away.
After birth, the vast majority of children will start to have jaundice on day 3, and around day 5, they will reach the highest value of jaundice. At this time, the mother who gave birth to a normal child has also been discharged from the hospital, and looking at the "yellow child" at home, she is really worried.
In fact, the vast majority of children's jaundice is only "physiological jaundice", parents do not need to worry too much, in the 7-10 days after the birth of the child, it will begin to automatically fade.
It should be noted that if there is anemia, abnormal body temperature, abnormal feeding, and different colors of bowels and urine, it may be pathological jaundice, which requires timely treatment, rather than using folk remedies.
The fifth phenomenon: the umbilical cord falls
When newborns are born, they cut off the connection between themselves and their mothers, the umbilical cord.
The umbilical cord is connected to the baby's navel, and this part of the umbilical cord does not fall off immediately, but takes time. During the period when the umbilical cord falls off, it is necessary to do a good job of disinfection and protection every day, and then wait for it to fall off automatically.
The sixth phenomenon: respiratory instability
The breathing of a newborn baby is really too light and very unstable. Sometimes urgent, sometimes slow, sometimes with a brief pause. This unstable breathing has made many new parents panic.
In fact, this is normal, generally after the newborn is born 7 days later, the newborn's breathing will gradually become stable.
The seventh phenomenon: chest abnormalities
I don't know if there are old people in your hometown who have squeezed the breasts of newborns, especially for girls, saying "squeeze a squeeze, and don't invert later." This statement is wrong!
Newborns, whether male or female, are affected by hormones in the mother's body, and within 1 week of birth, there may be some swelling of the chest and even lactation.
This is actually just because the baby is affected by the mother's hormones in the womb, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, and it will gradually return to normal after 1 week, and parents do not need to do excess care.
The eighth phenomenon: weight loss
Losing weight, there may be many parents who have not yet noticed.
In the first 2-5 days of birth, newborns cannot absorb enough water and nutrients because of insufficient maternal milk secretion ability, baby sucking needs and sucking ability, so weight loss is a normal physiological phenomenon.
Pistachio Mom message
Taking care of newborns is really not easy. Not to mention whether the caregiver is careful, let's say that the physiological phenomena, growth and development characteristics of newborns, etc., are unfamiliar to novice parents, so it is particularly difficult to take care of.
Therefore, new parents must be prepared before the birth of their newborn, and do not rush when the time comes!
