What should I pay attention to during my baby's physical examination?

A common phenomenon nowadays is early birth and early pregnancy, and many of them are among young parents. So the issue of child rearing is a very important issue for novice parents. How much do you know about baby physical examinations? New parents often worry about the baby's development. Sometimes they wonder if their baby has health problems. Therefore, children should have regular physical examinations so that problems can be discovered in time.

1Every time he was looking for something: whether the femoral artery was pulsating. The doctor needs to check your child's arterial pulse to see if it is weak, as this can reflect the condition of the heart. This method is the simplest way to diagnose whether a child has heart disease.

2 Check the baby's private parts: whether the genitals are normal. More than 4% of boys are born with testicles not in the scrotum. This phenomenon usually disappears on its own after 9 months. For girls, labia adhesion is common, which may lead to urinary tract infection.

3 Pick up the baby and put him down to scare him.

When is it usually: First 4 inspections. What he's looking for: Embrace reflection. When the baby is 3-4 months old, he will open his arms when he feels uneasy; this is a natural reflex phenomenon. If the baby does not have this phenomenon, it means that there is a problem with his neurological development. The doctor may also look for other reflexes: whether the baby grasps a finger or pulls back when the doctor pokes his toes.

When: Every time your baby is walking. What he's looking for: Checking for hip dysplasia. About 1 in 1,000 babies are born with a congenital hip deformity. If the doctor feels something unusual about your baby's buttocks, he will ask you to take your baby for an ultrasound. Fortunately, the earlier the deformity is detected, the simpler the treatment: the baby only needs to wear an adjustment frame on the pelvis.

The above are the things to pay attention to when doing your baby's physical examination. I hope that new parents can learn more about parenting knowledge, so that their children can have a better body and will not suffer from poor physical fitness and low resistance. This will allow every parent to understand parenting more thoroughly.
