New born baby girl bleeding

The body functions of a newborn baby girl are not yet fully developed, but the baby's cells are the most active. Some parents found that their baby girls had bleeding from their genitals after giving birth. In fact, this phenomenon is most likely some substances secreted by the baby just after birth, so parents don’t need to worry too much. Let’s take a look at what’s going on when a newborn baby girl bleeds from her lower body.

In fact, it is normal for a newborn baby girl to have bleeding or some secretions from her genitals. It is also normal for a baby boy to have a slightly swollen penis. This is because the baby absorbs a large amount of female hormones while in the mother's body, which will cause the baby to have these symptoms after birth. Mothers do not need to worry too much, as this is all normal and will naturally heal after a period of time.

When a baby is just born, his whole body is soft. Many new parents want to hold him but don’t know where to start. Here are some correct ways to hold a newborn:

1. Hand support method: Use your left hand to support the baby's back, neck, and head, and your right hand to support his little butt and waist. This method is often used to pick up and put down the baby from the bed.

2. Wrist holding method: Place the baby's head in the crook of your left arm, protect the baby's head with your elbow, protect the back and waist with your left wrist and left hand, extend your right forearm over the baby to protect the baby's legs, and support the baby's buttocks and waist with your right hand. This method is a more commonly used posture.

3. Don’t hold your baby vertically: a newborn’s head accounts for 1/4 of its total length. When holding the baby upright, the weight of the baby's head is entirely on the cervical spine. When the baby is 1-2 months old, the neck muscles are not fully developed and are weak. This incorrect holding posture should be used to prevent damage to the baby's spine. These injuries are not easy to detect at the time, but may affect the child's future growth and development. Therefore, it is not advisable to hold the baby in a straight vertical position.

4. Don’t hold the child for too long: People’s love for their children has reached an unparalleled level. They don’t kiss or love their children enough, so they start holding the child just a few days after the child is born. Little do people know that this practice violates the natural laws of infant growth and development and is harmful rather than beneficial to the child.
