Common physiological phenomena in infants

Nowadays, every child is the treasure of the family, so the health of the child has become the most concerned issue for parents. However, it is difficult to ensure the health of newborns because their resistance is extremely poor. In fact, there are many common physiological phenomena in infants that we don’t quite understand. Today I will introduce to you some physiological phenomena of infants.

Causes of red buttocks

The main reason why babies have red buttocks is that their buttocks have been soaked in urine for a long time. Newborns urinate and defecate frequently, so red buttocks are also quite common.

Do not rinse the buttocks with clean water after defecation. The poor breathability of diapers will aggravate the redness of the buttocks.

The dangers of red buttocks

Redness of the buttocks can cause local skin damage, bacteria invading the subcutaneous tissue, and in severe cases can cause perianal abscesses and difficulty in defecation.

Prevention and treatment of red buttocks

·

After the baby defecates, rinse the buttocks with clean water in time, use diapers with good breathability, and do not lay plastic sheets.

The child has regular bowel movements and diapers are changed in a timely manner.

Once you find that your baby's buttocks are red, apply tannic acid ointment or diaper cream every time after washing your baby's buttocks, so that the buttocks will not be red.

Easily soaked in urine. Do not use baby powder.

Nutrition-related

Related to mother’s nutrition during pregnancy

If the mother eats less black sesame seeds, walnuts, vegetables and fruits during pregnancy, it will affect the baby's hair quality.

· Related to the baby’s nutrition after birth

If the hair is not properly nourished after birth, it will become thin and yellow and lack luster. Zinc and calcium deficiency will also cause the hair quality to deteriorate. However, it is rare for children nowadays to have poor hair quality due to malnutrition.

Whether it is caused by malnutrition can be preliminarily judged from the hair quality. Although it is yellow, it is shiny and smooth, so it is not malnourished. Malnourished hair is not only yellow and thin, but also lacks luster and grows in a disorderly and tangled manner.

Related to genetics

The quality of hair is related not only to nutrition, but also to genetics and hair care. If one of the parents or immediate family members has poor hair quality, it may be passed on to the baby. Even if the hair is black at birth, it may gradually turn yellow.

Don't let your child cry all the time

When children are crying loudly, some parents think they should just let them cry and stop when they have finished crying. If you pick up your child as soon as he cries, you will spoil him or her and it will be difficult for him or her to be independent in the future. But in fact, this is not a good thing to do. When babies cry, they really need the care of their parents. There is no baby who doesn’t like to lie in the warm arms of his mother.

If the baby cries a lot, parents should think about whether the baby needs help. If parents cannot respond positively, it will hurt the child's feelings, make the child lose a sense of security, lack trust in others when he grows up, feel lonely, and depressed. Give your baby his own space

Some parents indulge their children blindly and are reluctant to let them cry, but sometimes babies also need to express their emotions naturally in front of their parents. Even the youngest children have their own space.

If the baby stretches, yawns, frowns, or makes a funny face while sleeping, and the mother immediately hugs or pats him/her, this is excessive interference with the child. If the mother does not touch the child immediately, the child will have his own free space and will not be so irritable and wake up so easily. Maybe the child was not awake at first, but woke up when the mother touched him. The mother thought that the child woke up because she did not pick him up or pat him in time. This is a problem of understanding.

The above are some common physiological phenomena of infants. As parents, we should always pay attention to our children’s movements and ensure that we understand our children so that they can have a healthy body. It is also helpful to learn more about the common sense in this area in order to help children solve some problems. I hope the above content can help you.
