What else contains perfume?

Therefore, mothers must pay attention to the use of cosmetics. At the same time, use less or no air fresheners.

Finally, be sure not to let your baby come into contact with those cleaning products.

What is maternal and infant care?

1. After the birth of a newborn, family members will be eager to visit the newborn and the mother, and try to provide the mother and the newborn with a quiet and comfortable environment. The mother will be very tired after childbirth and needs rest; the newborn is not suitable for too much movement of people just after birth, for fear of bringing germs.

2. It is recommended to breastfeed newborns. The nutrition of breast milk is much higher than that of formula milk. If you want to increase the nutrition and output of breast milk, you must pay attention to the diet of the mother; drink more soup, soybeans, fish and other foods, and don't eat too greasy food.

What babies need to pay attention to

1. When examining and caring for newborns, you must pay attention to keeping them warm, especially in the cold winter. At 24℃-25℃, the body can maintain normal body temperature through changes in vasoconstriction and vasodilation, without the need to sweat to dissipate heat or accelerate metabolic heat production. This temperature is most beneficial to the health of newborns.

2. When bathing a newborn, it is advisable to use non-irritating baby soap. After bathing, use a dry and soft towel to absorb the water on the body, and apply a little scented powder on the wrinkles of the skin. Be sure to wipe the buttocks clean with a warm towel after each diaper change. Sometimes the skin on the buttocks becomes red due to irritation from urine, so you can apply a little sterile vegetable oil.
