Knowledge of neonatal nursing. Knowledge of neonatal care-breastfeeding and feeding
Breast milk is the best way to feed if conditions permit. Breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth. If the mother does not secrete milk for the time being, let the newborn suck the nipple as much as possible to promote milk secretion, enhance the feelings between mother and baby, and be conducive to the healing of postpartum wounds caused by childbirth. The sooner the milk is opened, the greater the stimulation of the baby's mouth on the nipple, which is conducive to the secretion of milk. If you really can't breastfeed for personal reasons, you should choose milk powder suitable for your baby, and pay attention to the amount of breastfeeding and the hygiene of the milk utensils.
Second, newborn care knowledge-bedroom environment
Newborns are somewhat uncomfortable with the change of external temperature difference. The suitable indoor temperature should be kept at 25℃ ~ 28℃, and the temperature should be reduced appropriately in midsummer, but it should be kept warm in winter. But when ventilating, pay attention to having a heater next to it.
But indoor light should not be too dark or too bright. Some parents think that newborns are less sensitive to light and are afraid of irritating their eyes. They often like to hang heavy curtains. In fact, this is not appropriate. Babies should learn to adapt to natural indoor light and avoid direct sunlight.
Third, newborn baby care knowledge-sleep and sleeping position
Sleeping posture affects breathing, and the newborn's head is soft. Good sleeping posture is beneficial to the development of the head. It is recommended to have a comfortable pillow with a thickness of 1 ~ 2 cm, slightly concave in the middle and slightly raised at both ends.
The best sleeping position is lying on your back or side to avoid pressing your chest and lungs. It is recommended to sleep on your side after feeding to avoid suffocation caused by excessive milk or choking.
Neonatal care Neonatal care means that the newborn bedroom should be quiet and clean, elegantly arranged and sunny. If conditions permit, the baby's indoor temperature can be controlled between 24 and 28 degrees, and the humidity is about 60 to 65 degrees.
Try to keep a quiet environment, and don't let your child wake up when feeding or changing diapers at night (preferably half asleep). It's easy to fall asleep after feeding or changing diapers. Don't let the children sleep too much during the day. If they sleep too much during the day, they naturally can't sleep well at night.
Find the child sleepy and put it in the crib in time. It's best to let the child sleep by himself, if you hold or shake him to sleep every time. Then every time you wake up at night, he will let you pick him up or shake him to sleep.
"Neonatal period" mainly refers to the adaptation period of the fetus from delivery in the mother's womb to external life. Because the functional development of various organs of the newborn's body system is not yet mature during this period, newborns are generally divided into three categories in clinic:
Full-term: a newborn with a gestational age of 37 weeks but less than 42 weeks.
Premature baby: refers to a newborn with a gestational age of 28 weeks but less than 37 weeks.
Overdue delivery: newborns with gestational age over 42 weeks.
Newborns have low immune function, poor thermoregulation function and are easy to be infected. Nursing must be meticulous, scientific and reasonable. Experts focus on the following aspects to give specific guidance.
