How to take care of a newborn baby?

Many mothers are first-time mothers and have children for the first time, so they don’t know how to take good care of their children after they are born. If they can’t take good care of their children, it is easy to cause physical development disorders in their children, or make their children often sick and catch colds, which is definitely very bad for their children. Therefore, you should learn how to take care of your children when they are just born. So how should you take care of a newborn baby?

Babies have the basic abilities to forage, suck and swallow as soon as they are born, so it is best to feed the baby within 30 minutes after birth, preferably with breast milk, and usually once every 3 hours. The baby's consciousness is just emerging at this time, and his memory is the strongest. He will remember who his mother is.

The baby should be vaccinated with BCG and hepatitis B vaccine on the second day after birth to prevent tuberculosis and hepatitis B; he should also undergo thyroid function and phenylketonuria tests to ensure the baby's healthy growth. Parents should keep their babies away from crowded public places to avoid contact with sources of disease. If there are patients at home, they should be isolated. The ambient temperature should be suitable, preferably maintained at 20℃~25℃.

It is very common for newborn babies to spit up milk. This situation will continue until the baby is 3-4 months old. When the contraction function of the cardia matures, the frequency of spitting up milk will gradually decrease. To prevent the baby from spitting up milk, you should hold the baby upright after each feeding, let the baby's little head rest on the mother's shoulder, and then gently pat the baby's back until you hear the baby burp. If the baby does not burp, you can also massage the baby's back. In addition, if your baby is fed from a bottle, be sure to choose a nipple of the right size to prevent your baby from inhaling too much air. Nowadays, many new baby bottles have designs that reduce air inhalation, which can also help babies reduce spitting up to a certain extent.

Newborn babies must be taken good care of. First of all, you should improve the child's diet and let the child eat some food that is easier to digest. When taking care of a newborn baby, you must remember to check the child's temperature at any time. If the child's temperature is too high, you should take away the child's clothes, but if the child's temperature is too low, you should add clothes.
