Phenomenon 1: There is a white sticky thing on the body after birth.
When the baby is born, there is a sticky white thing on his body, which the nurse will not completely wipe off. Parents don't want obsessive-compulsive disorder, help the baby erase it. This is called "fetal fat", which can protect the baby's skin. It can protect the baby's skin in the amniotic fluid environment, and it can also play a certain protective role at birth.
Phenomenon 2: After birth, there is a "bag" on the back and the head is "squeezed flat"
The baby who gave birth naturally, because of being squeezed by the birth canal at birth, or with the help of forceps during dystocia, does not look very round after birth, and even has a "tumor" formed by local edema. But don't worry, you can absorb it yourself within a few days after birth.
Phenomenon 3: I sleep most of the time every day.
The baby in the month can sleep 16-20 hours a day, except for breastfeeding, and even breastfeed when sleeping. For newborn babies, this is a normal phenomenon, not illness, so parents don't have to worry too much. Creating a comfortable sleeping environment for your baby can make your baby sleep better, but you should pay attention to avoid the habit of "black and white upside down".
Phenomenon 4: There are many small hairs on the face and body.
There may be a layer of fluff on the newborn baby, and some babies still have a lot, which looks like "little hairy monkeys". If it is a girl, mom and dad will be very worried and worried about being ugly! In fact, this is fetal hair, which will slowly fall off after a period of birth, and then the baby's skin will turn white, so mom and dad don't have to worry too much.
Phenomenon 5: The body temperature rises and falls after birth.
Newborn babies may have high or low body temperature because of incomplete nerve development and poor thermoregulation ability, and most of them are normal. Parents can monitor the baby's temperature every day and make records. As long as it is within the normal range, there is no need to worry. In addition, due to poor thermoregulation, the baby is afraid of cold and heat. When taking care of your baby, you should avoid catching cold and wear a thick cover to avoid the danger of "heat syndrome".
Phenomenon 6: green stool in the first few days of life.
Newborns will defecate for the first time within 12 hours after birth, but parents are worried after seeing it: why is it black and green? Is the baby unhappy? This is also a normal newborn phenomenon, called "meconium". It will be discharged gradually 2-3 days after birth, and then it will be normal color stool.
Phenomenon 7: it will peel off soon after birth.
A few days after the baby is born, the mother will find that there seems to be peeling on her hands and feet, and she will start to worry: Is the baby short of vitamins? This is also mostly normal. Because of the change of the living environment before and after the baby is born, it lives in the amniotic fluid environment in the mother's belly. After birth, the air environment and humidity drop obviously, and the skin will be dehydrated to varying degrees, which is easy to peel off.
Phenomenon 8: Pull while eating, and pull as soon as you eat.
Your baby must also have this phenomenon, pulling while eating, or pulling after eating! Have you ever thought about the baby having diarrhea? For the newborn baby, this is a normal phenomenon, which is related to the immature development of the baby's digestive system. This happens because of gastrocolonic reflex, which is the baby's patent! With the growth and maturity of the gastrointestinal tract, this situation gradually disappeared.
Phenomenon 9: Weight decreases instead of increasing after birth.
Is it normal for a newborn baby to lose weight instead of gaining weight one week after birth? Normal! I just said that after the baby is born, the natural environment is drier than the uterine environment, and the baby will lose some water. Coupled with defecation, it will lead to weight loss. This is a physiological phenomenon, and mothers don't have to worry. Generally, the decline stops in 4-6 days after birth, and the weight starts to rise to the birth weight in 7- 10 days (no later than 2 weeks), and then it starts to increase slightly.
Phenomenon 10: Being a "slave" after birth.
After the baby is born, the skin is very thin. When the baby exerts his strength, it looks a little black and red. 2-3 days after birth, the baby will start to appear jaundice, and the skin looks a little yellow. This is physiological jaundice, which is a normal neonatal phenomenon. 4-6 days is the peak of jaundice. When leaving the hospital, the doctor will tell parents to observe the baby's jaundice. It may also be suggested to review the jaundice value during the peak period. If it becomes more and more important, see a doctor in time.
Phenomenon 1 1: Why do babies always burp?
This situation is no stranger to novice parents. Parents will be very nervous when they see their baby burping constantly, worried about whether the baby is sick or not, and even take the baby to the hospital for medical treatment. In fact, this is mostly a normal phenomenon in the feeding process, so parents don't have to worry too much. First, it is related to the incomplete development of neonatal nervous system and the inability to coordinate diaphragm movement well; Second, the new mother's poor care, such as eating too fast, eating too full, swallowing too much air when nursing, etc. As the baby grows up, it slowly disappears.
Phenomenon 12: vomit as soon as you eat milk.
Babies have many problems. Spitting milk is more terrible than burping. There are actually two kinds of spitting milk that mothers say, one is sprinkling milk and the other is spitting milk. The spilled milk is the milk flowing out along the corners of the mouth, and the degree is slight. Spitting milk is spraying milk, even from the nose, which looks scary. This is also normal for newborns, which is related to incomplete gastrointestinal development and incorrect feeding methods. If you want to reduce the baby's milk overflow, you should pay attention to the correct feeding method to avoid the baby taking in too much air, and burp the baby after each feeding to reduce the "disturbance" of the air to the gastrointestinal tract.
Phenomenon 13: I was always surprised at first sight, as if I was "startled".
In this case, don't blindly believe some superstitious statements. For the newborn baby, this is a normal phenomenon, a congenital nerve reflex and a way for the baby to protect itself. It usually disappears gradually in two or three months. If the baby in the month is always fidgeting because of shock reflex, you can wear a sleeping bag to sleep, or you can gently wrap it around the baby to help ease it.
In fact, there are many similar "neonatal strange phenomena". The baby seems to be sick and abnormal, but it is actually a normal phenomenon, but it will gradually disappear or ease with growth, so parents don't have to worry. It is more important to learn more about scientific parenting, so as to take care of the baby more calmly and know what to do when encountering problems.
