When a newborn is infected with amniotic fluid during delivery, it will definitely have varying degrees of impact on the body. However, the situations involved in amniotic fluid infection can be mild or severe. So, what should premature infants who are infected with amniotic fluid and do not breastfeed?
1. Some people are born with sucking behavior. Generally speaking, this is not related to premature or full-term infants. However, when some children are born, but some children do not have the ability to recognize spoons and bowls at birth. Even when the bottle reaches his mouth, he doesn't know how to eat it, so at this time, his mother needs to repeatedly tell them that it's okay to breastfeed. Repeat it multiple times, adjust their cognition slowly and it will be better.
2. When a mother breastfeeds, the child usually eats it. Unless the mother holds the child in the wrong position or has a congenital defect in the breasts, which will prevent the child from breastfeeding. In this case, the first step is to adjust the feeding posture. If the posture is not a problem and the child still refuses to breastfeed, then consider whether there is a problem with the milk.
3. When breast milk is insufficient, formula milk can be used for feeding, and then a bottle can be used when using formula milk. There are many types of milk bottles now, and the shape of the nipple is also different. If a child cannot drink milk when using a round nipple, it is necessary to replace it with something else, such as a flat nipple.
How to care for neonatal infections caused by premature rupture of amniotic fluid?
1. If a newborn is infected due to premature rupture of amniotic fluid, mainly pulmonary infection, the main treatment method is oxygen inhalation to maintain smooth breathing in the newborn. You can lightly pat the baby's back, then suction phlegm to ensure smooth breathing, and try to suck out amniotic fluid and secretions, actively doing various physical examinations.
2. If fetal amniotic fluid infection is confirmed through examination, immediate treatment should be sought. Firstly, identify the pathogen, and then carry out targeted antibiotic anti infection treatment. If the fetal signs are abnormal, it is necessary to enter the incubator.
3. Pregnant women should eat more high protein, high-quality, and easily digestible foods to enhance their resistance, actively supplement fiber, eat more vegetables and fruits, reduce activity, and rest in bed as much as possible to strengthen sufficient breast milk for subsequent feeding.
