What are the precautions for newborns?

When a child is just born, he faces a brand new world, which is different from the environment in the mother's womb. Some microorganisms, germs, air, etc. will have adverse effects on the child. Therefore, as a parent, you must strengthen the care of the newborn in time, observe the child's bowel movements, change diapers in time, take good care of the buttocks, take good care of the umbilical cord, etc.

1. Newborn stool:

There are many little secrets of the baby's body hidden in the newborn's feces. Parents can understand the baby's digestive status and adjust the child's diet in time by observing the nature of the baby's stool, the frequency of bowel movements, etc. Parents should be aware of their children's bowel movements every day, and pay attention to whether the stool has any abnormal color or special odor.

2. Baby diaper rash:

Diaper rash is an inflammatory skin lesion that occurs in the diaper area, also known as baby rash. It is characterized by redness and swelling of the skin in the contact area between the buttocks and the diaper, and may even cause ulcers, sores and infections. The slightest external force or friction can cause damage. If the disease continues to develop, exudate, epidermal desquamation, and superficial ulcers will appear. If not treated in time, it will develop into deeper ulcers or even bedsores.

3. Buttocks care:

The baby's skin is delicate, especially the buttocks which are often covered by diapers, which can easily cause diaper rash. Protecting and caring for the baby's buttocks skin has become a compulsory course for new parents. The most important thing to care for your baby's buttocks is to change diapers frequently to keep the baby's buttocks dry.

4. Umbilical cord care:

After the baby's umbilical cord is cut, the stump of the umbilical cord will gradually dry up, become thinner and turn black. Usually within 3-7 days after birth, the umbilical cord stump will gradually fall off. The umbilical cord ligation and cutting site is prone to infection. At the same time, the umbilical cord can directly reach the baby's blood vessels. Therefore, it is very important to care for the umbilical cord stump after the umbilical cord is cut.
