Newborn baby has secretions

Newborns are usually born in the hospital. If you find any abnormalities, you can consult a doctor in time and learn some knowledge about newborns under the doctor's guidance. If the newborn has secretions and an odor, you need to pay special attention. If there is just secretions, there is no need to worry. This is also a normal phenomenon. You just need to clean the newborn's lower body in time.

If your child has yellow discharge, it may be a bacterial infection. You can pay attention to whether your child scratches his or her genitals or reports itching symptoms. It is also best to do a secretion test. You can use a cotton swab to obtain the secretions for testing to determine whether there is a bacterial infection. Choose the appropriate medication based on the test results. You can use warm water to clean the vulva before checking it thoroughly.

1. Generally, we believe that when a baby is in the fetal stage, the estrogen in the mother's body can enter the fetus through the placenta, but after the umbilical cord is cut off, the source of estrogen is cut off. Some newborn girls may have white sticky secretions from the vagina 5 to 7 days after birth, and sometimes bleeding, which may last for 1 to 3 days and then disappear. The white discharge between the labia minora is generally called vernix caseosa.

2 This kind of white secretion is usually secreted by baby girls. If it does not have a bad smell, mothers do not need to worry. When this happens, be sure to pay attention to cleaning. Wash your genitals with clean water every day. Pay attention to the washing method and rinse from front to back. It is recommended to use boiled hot water to the appropriate temperature, because there will be bacteria in raw water to avoid infection.

3 After cleaning the genitals, clean the buttocks and other parts. Remember not to use this water to clean the genitals at this time. After washing, wipe your baby clean with a dry cotton cloth. In addition, after each time the baby urinates, since the baby urinates many times a day, it is impossible to wash every time. At this time, we must pay attention to wipe the baby dry with paper.

Note:

One is to pay attention to hygiene, wash with clean water at least once a day, clean your buttocks after each bowel movement, and wipe it clean with toilet paper after urinating. In addition, please note that if it is a hot season, you should not use diapers for your baby, because if the diapers are not breathable, the baby's little butt will not get good ventilation, which will also be affected.
