How to feed a newborn baby born by caesarean section?

Newborns born by caesarean section are very fragile. If you do not pay attention to the diet of such children, the children will not be able to grow up healthily. Many parents are very anxious because they don’t know how to feed newborns born by caesarean section. In this case, today we will popularize some knowledge about feeding newborns born by caesarean section.

With the increase in the number of older pregnant women, more and more women are choosing caesarean section. Chen Baochang, deputy director of the Department of Pediatrics at the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University, reminds that most mothers choose caesarean section because they have pregnancy-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, or problems such as fetal hypoxia and placental abnormalities. Therefore, babies born by caesarean section should be closely monitored in the following three aspects.

Newborns born by caesarean section will receive more attention than babies born naturally. In addition to checking the baby's brain damage, medical staff will also remind new mothers to pay more attention to whether the baby is breastfeeding well, whether he likes to sleep or is in poor spirits. Once any abnormality is found, they should consult a doctor in time.

At the same time, mothers who choose cesarean section will produce milk later, and newborns usually cannot eat breast milk on the first day after birth. In order to prevent hypoglycemia in babies, they should be fed some sugar water or milk powder in appropriate amounts.

In addition, clinical findings show that the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice) in newborns born by caesarean section is relatively high. Many survey results show that in many cases of neonatal hypercholesterolemia, no other causes have been found except for the fact that the mother had a cesarean section. Although the mechanism by which mothers' cesarean sections cause high bilirubin in newborns is still unclear, experts recommend that newborns delivered by cesarean section should be actively monitored for trace serum bilirubin, and infants with high levels of trace serum bilirubin should be treated promptly.

The above are some basic methods of feeding newborns born by caesarean section. Such methods are scientific and reasonable, and are tailored to the physical health of newborns born by caesarean section. Therefore, new mothers can try them with confidence. Finally, I hope that all the lovely babies can grow up healthily.
