What to do if your baby is short of breath

Babies are a group that people pay close attention to. We must care, love and pay great attention to it, because it has just been born and lacks familiarity with the environment, so it will develop a series of diseases. This kind of disease is also a concern for many parents. The following are some reasons why babies have rapid breathing and some better methods to treat it. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Pay more attention to your children’s health!

1. Newborns breathe faster than adults. Adults breathe about 12 times per minute, and infants about 40 times per minute. If it is less than 20 times per minute or more than 80 times per minute, you should pay attention. Count them carefully. It is recommended to count when the baby is calm, several times at most.

2. If the baby can only sleep for an hour and a half each time, and cries for milk every time he wakes up, you may suspect that there is not enough breast milk, or the milk powder is too watery, or you are not feeding enough. If breast milk is insufficient, you should feed your baby frequently and give it to him if he asks. It is normal for your stomach to growl and pass gas while you feed. Some babies even poop as soon as they feed.

3. There seems to be phlegm in the throat because the newborn does not have the ability to clear the respiratory tract, and the secretions accumulate in the throat, causing snoring when exhaling. If there are no abnormalities in other aspects, it is not a disease, and it has nothing to do with eating milk powder. The mother should pay attention to pumping milk frequently during the period of stopping breastfeeding, and do not let the milk return, otherwise the baby will have to eat milk powder.

4. It is possible that the baby's skin will turn white after 5 days, and then turn yellow again after continuing to drink breast milk. As long as the urine doesn't become yellower than it is now, there is no need to worry, and generally you don't need to stop breastfeeding.

A brand new baby is not so easy to get sick, so don't worry. I suggest you buy a copy of "Zheng Yuqiao's Parenting Guide". It is well written and will help you stay less nervous after reading it.

1. The mother usually does not avoid certain foods and likes to eat spicy, fishy foods, etc., and the baby is allergic;

2. Babies who are intolerant to milk powder and are bottle-fed are more prone to eczema. The reason is that the protein molecules in milk are large and difficult to absorb, and the gastrointestinal indigestion caused will also be reflected on the face. It is recommended to take Mommy Love or Lactobacillus tablets orally to supplement the normal flora. It has no adverse reactions and can be taken for a long time. As the baby grows older, his gastrointestinal function will improve and this situation will gradually improve.

3. The most common reason is that the room is too hot or the baby is covered too much. The most suitable room temperature for babies is 20-22 degrees and the humidity is 50-60 degrees.

4. Treatment: If eczema is not serious, no treatment is needed. Wash your face once in the morning and evening, but not too often. After drinking milk, wipe off the milk stains with clean gauze. You can use skin care products or not, but Children's Yumeijing has some effect on eczema. If the eczema is already very serious, it is recommended to wash your face with honeysuckle water or overnight green tea water in the morning and evening (my daughter Feifei has used the latter and it is very effective). After washing, you can apply some ointment. It is safer to choose hormone-free Chinese herbal ingredients. My family uses Kangmin eczema external use set, and the effect is also good. However, when using this medicine, you must pay attention to whether you have used hormone ointments before. If you have used them, do not use Kangmin, as there will be a rebound detoxification reaction, which is very scary. In addition, boiling coix seeds in water for babies to drink is also very effective. It can clear away heat and reduce internal heat, and can also prevent constipation.

The above are the issues regarding rapid breathing in babies. I hope everyone can help. The physical health of the baby is very important, and it is something that all of us parents should care about and protect. Minor illnesses in babies can have a big impact, so go to the hospital for regular checkups, regular examinations, regular treatments, early detection and early treatment. It is a very good phenomenon. Parents should also pay more attention to their children's physical health.
