A complete book on infant 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, the living room 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, 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.
Precautions in infant care Newborn babies must pay more attention to nursing. The first thing is to keep warm. Newborn babies can't regulate their body temperature like adults, so it is necessary for Ma Bao to pay more attention. It is best to control the ambient temperature at around 24 degrees, which will make the newborn baby feel comfortable.
When nursing a newborn baby, Ma Bao needs to pay special attention to skin care. Newborn babies' skin is very delicate and vulnerable to some external stimuli, so when bathing newborn babies, we should choose products that are skin-friendly and non-irritating, so as to protect their skin to a great extent.
When nursing newborn babies, we need to pay strict attention to prevent infection. When nursing, we need to wash our hands and keep them clean. The newborn baby's resistance is very poor, so when feeding, we must try to avoid bacteria invading the newborn baby, otherwise it will make the newborn baby feel a lot of physical discomfort and even have symptoms of fever and cold.
