Newborns should pay attention to keeping warm and keeping their body temperature within the normal range. Since the stomach of the newborn is horizontal, it is easy to overflow milk, pay attention to the lateral lying position to prevent vomiting and aspiration. Newborns have very tender skin, pay attention to washing hands and pay attention to skin cleanliness before touching children. The umbilical cord of newborns should be disinfected daily with alcohol or iodine until the umbilical cord falls off and there is no blood or purulent discharge. Newborns have low resistance and are prone to infection, so avoid visits and avoid contact with cold patients.
Precautions for neonatal care:
The first is to pay attention to newborn feeding. After each feeding, stand up and shoot, try to shoot the hiccups.
Second, pay attention to the sleeping position of the newborn. For children who are prone to milk, it is recommended to have a high head and low feet, plus a lateral recumbent position. The sleep position advocates the supine position.
The third is to pay attention to the bathing of the newborn. Bathing can be taken daily during the neonatal period, but avoid rubbing the body with bath liquid and a towel to avoid skin damage.
