The 28 days after birth are the most susceptible period for newborns to contract the virus. If parents' care methods are not correct, it can cause a lot of harm to newborns. Improper feeding can lead to delayed development in newborns, while improper care can make newborns more susceptible to illness. So, how to take care of newborn babies?
Taking care of newborns needs to be done from various aspects, but it can be summarized into the following three points. Firstly, it is necessary to change diapers in a timely manner. Newborns urinate or defecate many times a day. If not changed in a timely manner, coupled with the delicate skin of newborns, it is easy to cause redness of the buttocks and diaper rash. Therefore, it is important to change diapers frequently and clean the buttocks with water during washing.
Secondly, it is important to provide timely and appropriate amounts of milk. Many novice parents may encounter difficulties in breastfeeding. In fact, as long as the feeding posture is mastered in a timely manner and the milk is sufficient, the newborn can smoothly drink milk. Therefore, when drinking milk, it is necessary to control the speed of drinking, and never let the baby drink too quickly or too quickly. It is also necessary to burp after feeding.
Finally, it is necessary to observe whether the newborn shows any abnormal symptoms. Newborns are extremely prone to jaundice. Although physiological jaundice does not require special treatment, if pathological jaundice persists, it can also pose a risk to life. Therefore, parents need to observe changes in skin color and judge the mental state based on the newborn's milk consumption and crying. If there are any abnormalities, they need to seek medical attention in a timely manner.
