1, respiratory health care
As we all know, our current epidemic situation is related to respiratory diseases. So at this stage, the most important thing we need to pay attention to in the face of newborns is the care of respiratory tract. Even if it is not the epidemic stage, children's respiratory care is essential.
The characteristics of newborn's breathing are shallow and pleasant, with different rhythms. It is necessary to keep the newborn's respiratory tract unobstructed. Children are not good at expressing themselves. They can't tell our parents that they are out of breath, which requires parents' careful observation. If there is mucus in the nasal cavity, you can gently wipe it off with sterile cotton.
2. Oral hygiene
Many parents think that children don't need oral hygiene care when they are young, but this is not true. As the saying goes: "Illness comes from the mouth, and disaster comes from the mouth." This shows how important children's oral hygiene is.
After feeding the baby, the mother cleaned her mouth with a little warm water. Every morning and evening, clean gauze or latex finger pads can be dipped in water to clean the baby's gums and palate and massage the gums.
get dressed
As we all know, when a baby is born, his skin is very delicate, which can be described by blowing a bomb to break it. Therefore, we need to be very careful in the care of newborns, and even we need to pay special attention to wearing clothes.
The baby sweats a lot and has poor temperature regulation ability. When parents choose clothes for their children, they should choose cotton products that are breathable and easy to clean, and try to avoid children being worn out by rough clothes.
Baby feeding is exquisite. Do you know when?
1, feed according to the baby's needs.
Modern research shows that breastfeeding is more reasonable according to the needs of infants. Some parents feed their children regularly and quantitatively, which is actually a wrong feeding method.
Because the baby's stomach capacity is very small, and the amount of milk consumed at a time is not much, feeding the baby regularly and quantitatively will burden their stomach, which is not conducive to their growth and development. Babies should be fed as needed.
2. Replace the bottle in time
Based on the principle of economy, the older generation thinks that baby bottles can continue to be used without frequent replacement, which is actually wrong. Bottles and nipples have a long service life, especially plastic bottles, because brushing and oxidation will blur and fog, and milk dirt is not easy to remove.
Therefore, continuous use is not recommended, after all, it is something that enters the baby's mouth. We advise parents to change bottles after 4-6 months.
3. scientifically add complementary food
According to relevant nutrition experts, children can slowly add some simple complementary foods after 6 months. Some parents think that the longer children breastfeed, the better, but this is an unscientific way of feeding. Parents should not add complementary food to their children for more than 8 months at the latest. Some studies show that adding complementary food too late has a negative impact on the healthy growth of infants.
Premature addition of complementary food will also affect the baby's absorption of breast milk or milk powder, resulting in nutritional imbalance. Adding complementary food too late will affect the baby's growth and development. Parents should add complementary food to their children scientifically and with high quality.
Message: The epidemic will eventually pass, so care should continue. Children are in the period of growth and development. In fact, their physical resistance is relatively poor. Adults must not be careless and must take protective measures.
