Baby girl's urinary area is red

For babies of different genders, baby girls and baby boys, the treatment methods used in the care process are slightly different. When taking care of baby girls, parents should pay special attention to whether the baby girls' private parts are in a healthy state. Because in many girls, it is because their parents do not pay attention to the hygiene of their private parts that they suffer from gynecological inflammation. So why do girls' private parts turn red when they urinate?

1. What to do if a baby girl's urinary area is red?

1. The skin of a baby girl's vulva is very sensitive and easily irritated by urine, feces, chemicals, diapers, soaps, and detergents. The initial treatment plan is to hold the baby girl in a sunny room and put a clean diaper on her that does not cover her vulva. At night, apply some cream, such as zinc oxide, glycerin ointment, etc., to the vulva to help relieve the discomfort caused by irritation, and then put on a diaper. If the condition doesn't heal, it's best to stop using soap, baby wipes, and perfumed diapers. If there is no improvement after a few days, it may be an infection and you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. Your baby’s bowel movements are also a signal of his physical condition, so don’t ignore them. The following situations are abnormal stool: stool with pus and blood, which may be dysentery; black stool like tar or dark red, which may be upper gastrointestinal bleeding; blood in stool and bright red blood may be lower gastrointestinal bleeding or anal fissure; green stool with foam may be indigestion; watery or porridge-like stool can be seen in diarrhea caused by various reasons; brown and hard spherical stool is constipation.

3. Teach mothers how to boil vegetable water for their babies. The method is as follows: take a small amount of fresh vegetables, such as spinach, rapeseed, carrots, cabbage, etc., wash and chop, put them in a small pot, add a small amount of water, boil and then cook for 3.5 minutes. Spinach can be cooked for a while, and carrots can be cooked for a while longer. When it is no longer hot, pour out the juice, add a small amount of sugar, and put it in the bottle for your baby to eat.

4. Mothers should not give their babies fruit juice immediately after feeding them. Because acidic drinks can easily turn the protein in milk into clots, which is extremely detrimental to the digestion and absorption of milk. Generally speaking, there should be an interval of more than 1 hour between the two. In addition, rice flour and wheat flour added as complementary foods are best consumed when the baby is 4 months old to avoid obesity caused by eating cereal foods too early. Babies have poor digestion and absorption of cereal foods, and because of poor amylase activity, severe cases may cause diarrhea.

2. Cleaning and care of the baby girl's private parts after defecation

1. Step 1: Use a wet or dry paper towel dipped in warm water to wipe off the feces on the surface of the butt, one piece at a time, to ensure that the water in the basin is clean. Step 2: Use a wet towel to gently wipe away anything around the labia minora, or use a cotton swab to wipe away fecal matter. Step 3: Fill a douche with warm water and gently rinse from top to bottom, then dry with a paper towel. Step 4: Dry the butt and then put on a diaper or nappy.

2. Please note: Use warm water, the water temperature should not be too hot. The private parts are more sensitive, and too hot water will stimulate the baby to urinate. The gap between the thighs is also prone to dirt, so wipe it clean. When flushing with running water, control the water flow, and do not let the flow rate be too fast to cause too much water pressure. After drying the butt, cover it with a diaper or nappy.

3. In addition, just rinse it with running water from top to bottom. Do not over-clean it. Do not wipe it back and forth with wet tissues or towels to avoid damaging the mucous membrane, making it easier for bacteria to invade, or even causing adhesion of the labia minora, making urination difficult (Cui Yutao: Some secretions from the private parts themselves do not need to be completely washed off, and do not over-clean them).

4. It is best to bathe your baby every day. As long as the water in the bathtub is relatively clean, there is no need to worry that taking a bath will cause bacteria to invade the genitals. If necessary, you can go to Taobao to buy a special tool for washing the butt. Xibao’s mother bought the one in the picture below. I think it is very useful and does not wet the clothes. It is not convenient to wash the butt while holding the child at home alone. Although it is cumbersome, for the sake of the baby's hygiene and health, you should rinse her after each poop.
