When the baby is just born, the whole family will be busy, some mothers because it is the first time to take the baby, some things will be ignored or mistaken, especially the following seven things, novice mothers must figure it out, don't be afraid of trouble.
Seven things to look out for when caring for a newborn baby
(1) Judge the baby's warmth and coldness
When taking care of the baby, the mother needs to pay attention to the baby's warmth and coldness at all times, but many novice mothers will only judge the baby's warmth by touching the baby's small hands and feet, but in fact, this judgment method is not accurate.
When judging the baby's warmth and coldness, we not only have to touch the baby's hands and feet, but also touch the baby's chest and back, if the baby's chest and back are warm and no sweat, hands and feet are also warm, then the temperature is appropriate.
(2) Burp your baby reasonably
The baby needs to burp after feeding, which is something that most mothers know, and many mothers are doing well, but there is one thing that many people ignore, that is, after the baby drinks the milk, don't burp immediately, otherwise it is easier to spit up.
Therefore, it is recommended that the baby rest for three minutes after drinking milk, and then burp the baby, pay attention to the strength when shooting, too heavy the baby is easy to spit, too light may not achieve the effect, so the mother needs to measure the strength.
(3) Pay attention to your baby's weight
After the baby is born, it is not every day in the "long meat", just 4~6 days before birth, the weight may fall, and the weight will generally recover after a week, this phenomenon is "physiological weight loss".
If the mother encounters it, don't worry too much, just feed it on demand, let the baby eat and drink well, and pay attention to the baby's growth curve regularly.
(4) Understand the reason why your baby is crying
The baby's crying is not only due to hunger, pee, etc., but also many other reasons, and the mother should also understand it in advance.
For example, some babies lack a sense of security, they will use crying to attract the attention of parents, and then the mother only needs to hug, kiss the baby, or wrap the baby with a thin quilt, which can also make the baby more secure.
(5) Be clear about the "small movements" of your baby's sleep
When the baby sleeps, there may be a lot of inexplicable "small movements", such as smiling, startling, twisting limbs, and even blinking.
These "small actions" do not mean that the baby is awake, but the baby is still in a light sleep, so the mother should not be anxious to pick up the baby, but need to continue to pat the baby and coax the baby to sleep.
In addition, it is necessary to mention that the baby "jumps", that is, a startle when sleeping, which is a normal phenomenon, and the baby's nervous system is not fully developed, so the mother does not need to panic, and when the baby is 3~4 months old, the phenomenon will disappear.
(6) Take care of your baby's umbilicus
Not long after the baby was born, the umbilical cord has not fallen off, at this time the mother will do a good job of caring for the umbilical cord, usually pay more attention to observation, and remember to disinfect every day.
When doing disinfection, although the mother needs to be careful, there is no need to worry too much, the umbilical cord has no nerves, and the baby will not be painful when sterilizing.
(7) Early education for babies
When it comes to the baby's early education, I have to mention the black and white card. When the baby is born, the eyesight is very bad, it is blurry, and the greater the color contrast pattern, the more the baby can see clearly.
Therefore, at this time, the mother should use the black and white card to give the baby vision training, which is not only conducive to the baby's visual development, but also conducive to brain development.
