The focus of the baby handbook is 1: vaccination card, so it is easy to master the vaccination schedule. When you open the baby handbook, you can see yellow cardboard on the first few pages, which says "vaccination schedule and record table" Parents only need to take their babies to be vaccinated on time according to the above schedule, and they are not afraid to forget the time or worry about which vaccine is not vaccinated, so they can clearly grasp the vaccination schedule. It should be noted that except for the hepatitis B vaccine that must be vaccinated within 24 hours after birth, it must be directly vaccinated at the birth institution, and other vaccines must be vaccinated at other times. Parents are advised to know the possible symptoms, precautions and side effects after vaccination before taking care of their babies. When you go to get the vaccine, you should also remember to bring the baby handbook as an identity authentication and tracking record.
Focus 2 of the baby handbook: newborn screening record form to help the baby do a preliminary physical examination. The second point of the Baby Handbook is the neonatal screening record, including neonatal screening with congenital metabolic abnormalities, hearing screening, stool card screening and hip joint screening. These screening tests can not only help the baby to do a complete health examination initially, but also find congenital diseases as soon as possible and give them timely treatment, thus reducing the lifelong regret that may be caused to the child and reducing the family burden.

Baby Handbook Focus 3: Baby's Jin Jiu Color Card. The third thing to know about baby's excrement is the baby's stool card. Many parents don't know how to judge the health of their baby's stool. This card in the baby handbook divides the stool into nine states, including the abnormal type of 1 ~ 6 and the normal type of 7 ~ 9. When the baby is abnormal (1 ~ 6) or between normal and abnormal, you should take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible, and test the total bilirubin in the blood to determine whether it is jaundice or other abnormalities caused by liver disease.

Focus 4 of the Baby Handbook: The growth curve of the child. Knowing whether the child's height and weight are up to standard is also one of the common problems of parents. The child's growth curve can preliminarily judge whether the baby's growth is up to standard. Children's growth curve is divided into boy version and girl version, and the evaluation indexes include height, weight and head circumference. Parents only need to record their children's growth status one by one according to their monthly age and establish a curve. It should be noted that in addition to judging whether the child is in the 3 ~ 97% percentile, it is also necessary to observe whether the curve has steadily increased. If there is stagnation or fluctuation, you should seek medical examination as soon as possible.
