As a new parent, the birth of a baby does bring great joy, at the same time, mom and dad will also face the job of caring for the newborn, because there is no experience, when they see some "abnormal" situation of the baby will panic.
But the reality is that there are many phenomena in newborns that we think are abnormal but normal, and parents don't have to worry about it at all.
Newborns struggle from time to time
Mom and Dad look at the baby like the mother-in-law to see the son-in-law, the more you look at it, the more you like, look at it, the baby somehow, the small face is suffocated, the small hands and feet are pedaling hard, as if they are pulling the tendons, after a while it is okay, but the baby seems to be completely unaffected, and from time to time to do this action, occasionally with some hmm soundtrack, completely disregarding the fact that Mom and Dad are stunned on the side.
In fact, it is very normal for newborns to have this kind of performance.
There is this kind of action because the muscle tone of the newborn is relatively high when it is born, the baby's limbs are always shrunken, and the baby will be tired after a long time, so this action is used to relieve fatigue.
Newborns grow and develop very fast, growing every day, some babies will also have growth pain, when they struggle, it is actually the baby growing, but also to relieve pain.
If the baby is uncomfortable, it will also struggle, for example, the newborn's gastrointestinal function is poor, it is easy to cause flatulence, if the baby has intestinal flatulence or other stomach hunger, the situation of urgency will also struggle to alleviate discomfort and convey information to parents.
So parents do not have to worry, this situation will generally disappear in the baby around two months, normal feeding of the baby can be. If the baby is struggling because of flatulence, parents can burp the baby, rub the abdomen, plane hugs and other ways to help the baby relieve the discomfort caused by flatulence.
Newborn weight loss
Many new moms and dads simply don't know that their babies will lose weight after birth. This is because after the baby is born, it leaves the environment in the womb, gets rid of the soaking of amniotic fluid and comes to a dry environment, so the water on the body will evaporate in the skin, and it will also be excreted with the defecation, due to too much water loss in a short period of time, the baby's weight will drop.
However, even if the baby's weight will drop, it will not be too bad, generally only about 5% to 7%, no more than 8%, and this situation will return to normal weight in the week after the baby is born.
If your baby's weight loss of more than 10% is considered abnormal, you should take your baby to the doctor in time.
Newborns have small white spots on their faces
Some babies will be born with some scattered or whole small white dots on the face, nose, forehead, etc., which seriously drag down the baby's appearance, although the newborn's appearance is generally not high. But for moms and dads with obsessive-compulsive disorder, these little white dots on the baby's face are constantly calling mom and dad to squeeze them out.
For the situation of newborn babies, it is actually normal.
This small white spot is called chestnut rash, which is caused by the imperfect development of the baby's sebaceous glands, it is not itchy or painful, and it has no effect on the baby.
Mom and Dad usually do not need to intervene too much, normal use of water to clean the baby's face. Be sure not to squeeze with your hands to avoid hurting your baby and causing your baby's skin to become infected.
The disappearance of miliary rash takes time, usually around two or three months in the baby, when the baby's sebaceous glands mature and the white spots will disappear.
The color of the newborn's poop is too strange
Since the birth of the baby, the baby's poop has added a layer of mystery, always heard people say that the baby's poop should be yellow or golden, did not expect that when their baby was born, the poop is dark green, uh, this is also too strange.
This is not surprising, this is the fetal stool of the newborn, the fetal stool is originally dark green, but also very sticky, especially difficult to wipe off.
Fetal feces are formed during the fetal period, mainly secretions from the intestines, hairs shed by the fetus in the womb, epithelial cells and other "garbage". But when the baby is in the womb, the baby does not defecate, so these poop is held until the baby is born.
Fetal stool is generally excreted within 24 hours of the baby's birth, and will be discharged about 2 to 3 days after the baby's birth, after which it will slowly transform into normal yellow or golden stool.
ps: If the baby does not excrete fetal feces within 24 hours, parents must communicate with the doctor in time to check the development of the baby's digestive tract as soon as possible.
Newborns often burp
A very common phenomenon we also find when caring for newborns is that babies often burp, as if we adults eat too much.
The same, newborn hiccups is not a very new thing, this is because the newborn's digestive function is not perfect, the diaphragm is easily stimulated and spasm, if the baby is often crying when feeding, the size of the pacifier is not appropriate, the drinking position is not correct and other reasons cause the baby to inhale too much air or stomach cold, it is possible to cause the baby to burp.
This situation is very common, but parents can not let it go, every time after feeding to help the baby burp, the excess air out. In addition, to avoid the baby inhaling too much air when feeding, to ensure that the position of breast milk is correct, the size of the nipple is appropriate when the baby eats the bottle or to avoid air in the pacifier, not to feed when the baby is crying, etc., but also pay attention to keeping the baby warm, especially the baby's abdomen.
Parenting is no small matter, but the above seemingly abnormal things, did not expect all are normal, if the newborn appears above the phenomenon, parents do not have to worry, do not need to take the baby to see a doctor, very magical, right?
