When the baby is 42 days old, not only does the mother need to go to the hospital to check the recovery of the postpartum body, but the baby also needs to go to the physical examination, both of which are equally important. The reason why I want to give my baby a 42-day physical examination is to see if the baby's growth and development are healthy. If the baby's body is abnormal, it can be treated and intervened in time.
My coordinate is Beijing. My baby's 42-day physical examination mainly includes the following contents:
1, measure the baby's length, weight and head circumference;
2. The doctor asked the parents the following information: feeding mode, frequency of defecation, and whether to supplement vitamin D to the baby;
3. The doctor checks the baby's fontanel, mental reaction, yellow skin, heart, lung, abdomen, liver, spleen, navel, muscle tension, spinal joint and external genitalia. Of course, doctors mainly judge whether the baby is healthy by stethoscope or touch.
4, the doctor will also see if the baby will look up and whether the eyes will move with things.
My baby didn't pass the newborn hearing screening when he was born, so on the day of the 42-day physical examination, we took the baby to the doctor for another hearing screening. Fortunately, the baby passed the customs smoothly this time, and we finally don't have to worry anymore.
It is true that raising children should not be too meticulous. But regarding the baby's health, the meticulous place must be meticulous, and you can't be afraid of trouble or spend more money. Babies only grow once. To some extent, the baby's health depends on the parents' intentions. If your negligence caused the baby's misfortune, it's too late to regret it.
