What should I do if my baby has a fever during the confinement period?

Mothers will go through a difficult period of confinement because their bodies are extremely weak after childbirth and are easily affected by stimuli that may cause physical illness. In addition, poor physical quality also means that many mothers have no time to take care of their newborn babies, resulting in various problems for the babies. For example, what should you do if your baby has a fever during the confinement period? Let’s take a look at the explanation below, I hope you can understand it.

What to do if your child has a fever during the confinement period

If a baby has a fever during the confinement period, you should go to the hospital in time. Although medication is not a good idea, you must take medicine. Otherwise, the inflammation cannot be controlled. The baby is so small, and other problems will be even more difficult to treat. Never take medicine on your own.

How to take care of your baby during the confinement period

1. Most new mothers will let their babies sleep with flat heads, fearing that the baby's head shape will not look good. They will also fix the babies' heads on both sides when they sleep on their backs, fearing that the babies will sleep on their sides. In fact, this is wrong. Newborn babies have inhaled a certain amount of amniotic fluid, and sleeping on their backs is not conducive to the baby spitting out the dirty water. This may cause some unexpected harm. You should switch sides. If you see your baby spit out something, wipe it off immediately and then let your baby sleep with his head in the correct position.

2. Breast massage in the late pregnancy is very effective for the patency of the mammary glands. Appropriate stimulation can prepare the breasts for lactation. Many people give their babies formula milk when they have no milk after giving birth, which results in the baby not liking to drink milk later. In fact, even if the baby has no milk right after giving birth, there is no need to rush to feed him formula milk. Newborn babies have strong sucking power, so let the baby suck more milk and he will have milk.

3. Many young parents are accustomed to coaxing their babies to sleep by holding them in their arms, and then putting them in bed after they fall asleep. Doing so will not only make the baby's sleep shallow and unable to stretch the body, affecting the quality of sleep, but also easily make the baby develop the habit of sleeping in the arms, which seriously affects the adult's rest.

If your baby has a fever during the confinement period, do not use any medicine casually. Feed him/her more warm water. If the high fever persists, go to the hospital for examination in time, otherwise it may easily cause other problems. In addition, many mothers do not know how to take care of their babies during the confinement period, so mothers may wish to learn more about parenting experience from some experienced mothers.
