After the baby is born, some basic examinations will be done in the hospital because the baby has not fully developed and can only be done after the baby is one month old. But parents are not familiar with the full moon examination, and even many parents do not have their babies checked during the full moon. So, where is the baby's full month physical examination?
1. Measure height and weight
The growth and development related indicators of babies after one month need to be understood in a timely manner. A full-term baby is between 47-53 centimeters tall and weighs approximately 2550 grams or more, averaging around 3000 grams.
2. Observe the shape of the head
It is necessary to observe the shape and size of the baby's head, gently stroke the baby's scalp, feel the size of the bone seam, the condition of the fontanelle, and understand whether there is a hematoma or protrusion or depression in the head.
3. Check eye development
Place a red ball about 30 centimeters away from both eyes, move the red ball horizontally, and observe the baby's eyes to see if there is any eye tracking. At the same time, check the baby's vision for any problems.
4. Neck mobility
Does the baby have a torticollis and is they flexible? At the same time, use your fingers to symmetrically touch both sides from the inside out to feel if there is a clavicle fracture. At the same time, one should also perceive the elasticity and hardness of the muscles.
Of course, in addition to the above items, there are also factors such as chest symmetry, overall abdominal shape, reproductive organs, and anus. Parents should pay attention to various examinations of their baby at one month old, and promptly take medical measures if any abnormalities are found.
