Under normal circumstances, the skin of the newborn's feet grows stronger and the texture is clearer than that of the arm skin. It is more accurate to record the palm print of the foot than the palm.
In addition, the newborn's hand comes from the situation of half-clenched fist, and it is very easy to hurt the baby's fingers when it is forcibly opened, but the toe will not have this problem.
2. Make a "temporary identification". The baby has no household registration, not a "black bank account"
After the baby is born, of course, there is no identity document and household registration book. The hospital collects baby footprints, which can be used as baby's identity documents. And later, if the baby has any diseases, it can be adjusted into archived footprints for assistance.
3, avoid holding the wrong child, the baby is not easy to distinguish.
Children all look alike after birth, so it's hard to tell whose children they are. Leave footprints. If you have a wrong question, you can compare footprints.
The doctor did this to avoid changing the heart for the child, and to think more about the mother and the child. Footprints are an artifact to determine the true identity of the child.
4, improve work efficiency, footprints are easier to obtain than fingerprints.
Many children need to be born every day in hospital gynecology, and collecting palm prints is also an essential adjustment. Even if the baby's palm can be peeled off, it takes time, which is not as refreshing as the footprints.
5. Leave it as a souvenir for parents and record the children rushing to the world.
I was pregnant in October and gave birth once. Many people are parents, and I am certainly happy. Footprints can be used as proof that babies come into this world. The hospital has fully considered this point and will give parents a copy with footprints as a souvenir. Now many children's footsteps will be sent to the circle of friends after the end of their lives. I hope that children can move forward with solid steps in the future.
Besides leaving footprints, what other tests do newborns need to do? 1: Take blood from the heel.
After the baby is born, the nursing staff will take it away and step on heel blood, and judge whether the baby is physically and mentally healthy according to the blood type, or do disease screening. What hospitals do is also to ensure children's physical and mental health and avoid any problems.
2. Skin examination
When a child is born, it is usually red. If the child's skin turns white, yellow or blue, the situation is not quite right and must be properly handled.
For example, if a child's skin turns green, there is a high risk of ventricular rest.
3. Human body temperature examination
Newborns are weak and sick. In some cases, their body temperature should be checked 2-3 times a day to ensure their health. If the baby's body temperature is too high or too low, it is probably not a good situation.
Some problems of newborns will be reflected in people's body temperature. Checking human body temperature is also the guarantee of children's physical and mental health.
