Newborn baby's broken palm

The lines on everyone's palms are different, and in superstition there are many different explanations about a person's palm lines. Parents are afraid that their newborn babies will have various congenital diseases, so when taking care of their newborn babies, parents like to observe the various problems that exist in the newborn babies' bodies. Some parents have found that the palm lines of their newborns are in the form of a broken palm. So what does a broken palm mean for newborns?

What is the reason for the newborn's broken palm

Because most babies with Down syndrome have the characteristic of broken palm lines, but it does not mean that the baby with broken palm lines will definitely have Down syndrome. This is equivalent to: most men smoke, but that doesn’t mean that all smokers are men.

Of course, if the baby really has Down syndrome, there will definitely be other symptoms.

For example, the appearance will show that the eyes are wide apart, the outer corners of the eyes are slanted upwards, the ears are low, the nose bridge is low, the tongue is wide and thick, the mouth is often half open or the tongue sticks out of the mouth, the tongue has deep and many grooves, the palms are thick and the fingers are short and thick.

Most Down syndrome babies are gentle, often giggle, like to imitate and repeat simple movements, and can perform simple labor. A few patients are irritable, willful, hyperactive, and even have destructive and aggressive behaviors. As Down syndrome babies grow older, the above problems will gradually appear.

What to do if a newborn has a broken palm

Mothers must pay attention to the results of their baby's heel blood test (also known as newborn disease screening). Because the results come out late, many mothers may forget. If the results show abnormalities, we must take the baby to the doctor in time and cannot make judgments at home by ourselves to avoid delaying the baby.

To sum up, for this kind of phenomenon in babies, what parents should do is to take the baby to see a doctor and see what the doctor says. In addition, the baby's development is closely related to the mother's life during pregnancy and is inseparable. Mothers, for the health of your baby, it is necessary to develop good and healthy living habits, check your body regularly and understand your own health status. Also, pay more attention to your diet and avoid spicy and heavy-tasting foods.
