Do babies need to squeeze their nipples?

The baby's nipples need to be squeezed out so that they can develop better in the future. However, you must pay attention to the technique. If you have no experience, you can seek help from a doctor to avoid hurting your baby. It is also best not to bathe your baby frequently. Frequent bathing will cause their resistance to become lower and cause more diseases.

Newborn babies can be bathed, but you must pay attention to some techniques when bathing them. Before bathing, you should prepare clean clothes and diapers. The room temperature should be controlled at 24℃ ~ 26℃, and the water temperature should be close to the body temperature of the newborn or around 37.5℃.

In summer, because the surrounding temperature is higher, newborns can take a bath twice a day. In spring, autumn or cold winter, due to the low ambient temperature, if the family has the conditions to keep the room temperature at 24℃ 26℃, you can take a bath once a day. If the room temperature cannot be guaranteed, you can take a bath 1 to 2 times a week.

Newborns have weak resistance. If they are in poor health, it is best not to bathe them. It is not appropriate to bathe a child when he or she has symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose or diarrhea. If a child suffers from a serious illness such as pneumonia, hypoxia, respiratory failure, heart failure, etc., he or she should avoid bathing to prevent life-threatening hypoxia during the bathing process. In addition, it is not advisable to bathe the child if the skin is damaged, such as skin burns, ruptured blisters, skin impetigo, and systemic eczema.

The bathing time for the baby should not be too long. If the baby is soaked in water for a long time, especially the baby with dry skin, the skin will easily become dehydrated and the dryness of the skin will be aggravated. At the same time, soaking for too long will cause the outermost stratum corneum of the skin to absorb water and soften, reducing the skin's resistance. Even if your baby loves playing in the water, it is best not to let him stay in the bath for more than 10 minutes.

Replenish water in time after bathing: After the baby finishes taking a bath, it is best to give the baby about 50 ml of water 5 to 10 minutes later. For the baby, bathing is a "big exercise" and water must be replenished in time.

In short, bathing a baby requires skills, keeping the baby's body clean, and paying attention to the baby's physical condition.

Protecting the most vulnerable part of the body will make you feel more secure and sleep more soundly, which will reduce crying and is beneficial to the development of the nervous system.

It is beneficial to stomach motility and digestion. When sleeping on your stomach, stomach contents are not likely to flow into the esophagus and mouth, causing vomiting; instead, they move into the small intestine, which is beneficial to digestion and absorption.

Lying prone can make the baby raise his head and chest, thereby exercising the large muscle groups such as the neck, chest, back and limbs, which is conducive to turning over and crawling training.
