What are the methods of caring for newborn babies?

When a baby is just born, his body is relatively fragile. So what are the care methods for a newborn baby? Parents who become parents for the first time do not know much about caring for newborns. At this time, parents are required to learn more about caring for newborns so as to provide more appropriate care for the newborns and let the children grow up healthily. Let us learn more about it in detail.

Psychological adjustment: Newborns already have the senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch, and muscle tone. When they feel uncomfortable, they often cry to communicate with the outside world and attract their parents' attention. Therefore, parents should treat the newborn as an obedient child, talk and play with him more, and give him various sensory stimulations, such as kissing and touching, to make him feel safe and satisfied, which will help the child develop healthily physically and mentally.

Room ventilation: The room should face south and be sunny. The room temperature should be kept at around 15℃ in winter. Sweep the floor frequently with wet sweeping and open doors and windows for ventilation. Avoid too many people coming in and out to keep the room clean and hygienic.

Strengthen care: Newborn utensils should be special, clothes, bedding and diapers should be soft, absorbent, breathable, light-colored pure cotton cloth, wash and change them frequently, and dry them in the sun. Take a bath and change clothes every day to keep your skin clean and comfortable. The water temperature for bathing should not be too hot for the back of your hand, generally 40℃-45℃, and the ambient temperature should be 22℃. Keep the umbilical cord clean and dry. Disinfect the umbilical cord stump with 2% iodine tincture after each bath until the umbilical cord falls off and is dry and free of exudate.

Breastfeeding: Breast milk is economical and convenient. Its nutrients are easily absorbed by newborns. It is rich in antibodies and can enhance the relationship between mother and baby. Therefore, breastfeeding is the best. The nipples should be cleaned before each breastfeeding, and breastfeeding should be alternated between left and right to facilitate milk secretion. After breastfeeding, the baby should be held upright and the back patted gently to expel the inhaled air and prevent vomiting.

Hopefully, the above analysis on newborn baby care methods can help parents and friends, and mothers are also encouraged to breastfeed their children, because the nutrients contained in breast milk are of great help to the health and growth of children. Mothers should also pay attention to the children's hygiene, bathe them regularly, etc.
