Newborn babies, like a soft little ball of meat, how to take care of him is a matter that makes countless novice parents feel anxious. Especially in the first few weeks of the baby's birth, the baby's breathing, the baby's crying, and the baby's every move will affect the sensitive nerves of the parents.
I remember when my son was just born, when my aunt was full of joy and ready to hand the child to me, I changed my left hand to my right hand, and I didn't know how to take over. Hugging is not, not hugging is not, afraid that a posture is not right, the child will be hurt.
The child fell asleep next to me after drinking milk, and I always glanced at it from time to time worriedly, to hear if his breathing was smooth, to see if the clothes and the corners of the quilt had accidentally covered the child, and the nerves of the whole person were tense. In the middle of this, there were several times when the child was not breathing well, and the nurse was worried; every time he heard the child sneezing, he was frightened and frightened, afraid that the child would get sick.
If you look back, if parents can read the baby's behavior, it will reduce a lot of worry.
Today's article, Nomad to talk about the baby's first "cold", see, how many parents are falsely frightened! Of course, if you are a mother-to-be, or a new mother, this article may be of reference value to you.

In the first month of the newborn baby, if you look closely, the baby's breathing is actually irregular.
Their breaths were long for a while, short for a while; occasionally there was a deep sigh; there was even a pause of about 10 seconds, and then the breath became deeper and deeper, circulating continuously. This state will really make new mothers very worried.
When I was a new mother, every night in the middle of the night, I could not help but listen to the ear, afraid that an oversight by an adult would cause an accident to the child.
Fortunately, this irregular breathing of the child gradually grows and slowly becomes regular after the full moon.

The baby in the confinement is most worried about his cold and cold, so one of the baby's sneezes will once again affect the mother's nerves: Is the baby cold?
Shortly after my son was born, one day I sneezed several times in quick succession, which worried me a lot. One afternoon, I was struggling: Do I want to take my child to the hospital?
It is to measure the body temperature and observe it again and again, until it is confirmed again and again that the child's mental state is good and the child's body temperature is normal, and then the heart is relaxed.
Later, I checked a lot of information and found that many parents, like me, were troubled by the baby's first "cold". Therefore, the reason behind the baby's sneezing, parents should be clear about the reason.
Newborn baby, why sneezing?
In fact, newborn babies have very narrow nasal passages, and even a small blockage can cause them to have trouble breathing.
Some fluff, dust, residual milk, smoke, dandruff and other environmental irritants on blankets or clothes are easily stuffed into the baby's nasal cavity.
When your baby's nose is not ventilated, they will have difficulty breathing, and their breathing will become loud and muddy. At this moment, the baby's nose is not ventilated, and they have not yet learned to breathe with their mouths, so they can only inhale hard with their noses to obtain more air.
Sneezing is a way for babies to clean their nasal passages. Moms, don't be intimidated by your baby's sneezing.

How do I help my baby kiss your little nose? Here are a few tips to help your baby breathe more smoothly.
1) When your baby is awake, have him lying on his stomach with his head to the side. This prone position is conducive to the flow of saliva from the baby's throat and easier circulation of nasal air.
2) The baby's sleeping environment should be clean. Keep your baby away from fluff and dust in your sleeping environment.
Some parents will pile a lot of plush toys around the baby's cot, thinking that they can tease the baby and protect the work from bumping the baby on the edge of the bed. But in fact, this fine piece of fluff is easy to accidentally slip into the baby's nose. Therefore, around your baby's cot, try not to accumulate things that are easy to stick to dust.
3) Keep your baby away from things that are easy to irritate the nose, such as cigarettes, paint, exhaust, floating dust, perfume, dandruff... It is worth noting that if there is a smoking life at home, do not smoke in the baby's room, which is the most common infant nasal irritant.
4) Finally, the mother can help the baby empty the small nose with the help of some special tools from time to time. I once used a saline spray to soften the secretions in my baby's nasal cavity, and after watching the clothes slowly being pushed out, I borrowed a tool to help the baby clean up.
The baby's nose is clear, the breathing is smooth, and the parents can rest assured.
