"When you're a parent for the first time, please be more inclusive."
As soon as the baby was born, the new bao mom and dad became shocked: "Aaaah! What happened to my heart liver baby? ”
Together, we explore the 10 amazing phenomena of newborns.
1. Weight loss
If the baby's weight at birth is 6 pounds and 7 pairs, it may be weighed after 6 days, and it may be 6 pounds and 3 pairs.
Older generations say it's "water drops," which is biologically called "physiological weight loss."
Mainly due to the baby's water loss, low intake, fetal fat loss and fetal stool excretion and other reasons, weight recovery to birth weight in about 10 days, full-term weight loss generally does not exceed 10% of the birth weight, premature babies may drop more, up to about 15%.
2. Molting
Some newborns, within a few days of birth, their faces, arms, thighs, and even their chests and backs have begun to shed their skin, scaring their new parents.
Neonatal peeling is actually a common physiological phenomenon that every newborn must experience.
Newborns are soaked in amniotic fluid in the mother's belly, and the surface of the skin will be covered with fetal fat. After birth, the fetal fat on the newborn slowly fades, the skin is exposed to dry air, and the epidermis will fall off.
3, pull black green
Many parents will find that not long after the baby is born, he has not eaten anything, and he will pull stool, or the dark green viscous feces.
This is also normal, which is called "fetal defecation". It generally needs to be extended for 2-3 days, 3-5 times a day, and the thick dark green color can disappear. Most people begin to excrete this meconium within 12 hours of birth.
It is generally a dark-green viscous feces, which is made up of a mixture of fetal intestinal secretions, bile, swallowed amniotic fluid, fetal hair, fetal fat, and shedding skin epithelial cells in the intestinal tube.
4. Blood in the urine
There are also babies, more frightening, the urine out of the urine is red, is it urine blood?
Don't worry, newborn red urine, mostly occurs in the first 2 to 5 days after birth, due to less urine, coupled with more leukocyte breakdown, urinary urate excretion increases, thus showing red, may also be slightly cloudy.
Hematuria, urinary system problems? No, this is the baby reminding the parents that the amount of milk fed is insufficient. In general, when breastfeeding is increased or a small amount of warm boiled water is given, the red urine will naturally disappear within 3 to 5 days.
5. Pull while eating
Newborn babies will also "poof~" while eating, making people cry and laugh.
This is related to the "gastric-large intestinal reflex" action of the infant gastrointestinal physiological function. As soon as food enters the stomach, reflex peristalsis occurs in the intestines.
In addition, the baby's cerebral cortex development is not yet fully mature, and the ability to control defecation is not enough, so it is easy to pull while eating, or pull quickly after eating.
6, hum twitter
Newborn babies will also have calves curled up and twisted and twisted. Sometimes the two arms are pressed against the face, squeezing hard, the face is red, and it will make a hmmm-ah-ah sound, like stretching out and trying to pull.
In fact, this is the baby's long body, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, which generally lasts for 1-2 months and will disappear automatically.
7, sleep crying and laughing
Many people will say: newborn babies sleep with their eyes half open, fun to be funny, super fun.
The old man said that the Queen Mother was making him laugh. In fact, the baby's sleep is divided into deep sleep and light sleep.
When he is asleep, his eyes are not moving, very calm, and he will not wake up; when he sleeps, the facial expression is many, sometimes happy to blossom, sometimes crying, this is normal.
8. Embrace reflexes
Many parents will find that the baby will suddenly have two arms outstretched and straightened, and then flexed inside to receive the chest, in a state of uneasiness in the shape of a hug.
This is a reflex action made by newborns by sound or vibrations from the bed, medically known as the "hug reflex". This is a normal physiological reflex that usually disappears naturally by 3-4 months after birth.
9. Body temperature is unstable
The body temperature center of the newborn is not fully developed, and there is a situation to pay attention to: on the second to fourth day after the birth of the newborn, the body temperature rises quickly to 39-40 degrees, lasting for several hours or one or two days, which is called "dehydration fever" or "disposable fever" in medicine.
This may be because the room temperature is too high and newborns dissipate heat by increasing the evaporation of moisture from the skin. If there is not enough water, the blood will be concentrated and the body temperature will rise suddenly. Therefore, pay attention to maintaining the indoor temperature.
10. Long sleep time
Newborn babies are full of food, sleep, sleep and eat, which is a normal phenomenon.
Babies aged 1-3 months: sleep an average of about 16-18 hours a day; babies aged 4-6 months: about 14-16 hours a day.
Newborns alternate each sleep cycle for about 45 minutes, alternating between light and deep sleep in one sleep cycle.
It can be seen that newborn sleep = growth, sleep is essential for newborns!
