What "abnormalities" are normal in newborn babies? Don't make a fuss and make the doctor laugh?

When the baby was less than a month old, I suddenly discovered that the baby had a bald patch on the back of his head. It was very obvious. This scared me. The owner of the maternity and baby store downstairs saw it and said The baby is deficient in calcium and needs to be supplemented with calcium quickly, otherwise he will go bald at a young age in the future, which will affect his image. After hearing what she said, I was a little shaken, so I bought a bottle of calcium supplement for the baby and went home. Mix it with breast milk and give it to your baby. Later, the baby's occipital baldness really improved a lot. I also want to thank the owner of the maternal and child store. Later, when I talked about this with my colleagues, I found out that almost all babies will have occipital baldness after birth, and it has nothing to do with calcium supplementation. , and then I realized that I had been fooled. In fact, when a baby is just born, there will be many "abnormalities", but these "abnormalities" are very normal. Mothers should pay special attention to not being taken advantage of by malicious people.

Meconium

Under normal circumstances, the fetus will not poop in the uterus before birth. Instead, the fetus will accumulate meconium in the intestine and excrete it after birth. Because the fetus has swallowed too many metabolites, lanugo, and other impurities in the amniotic fluid, the baby's first few meconiums will appear green. Mothers don't have to worry, as they will return to normal after a few feedings of breast milk. Generally, babies will defecate within 24 hours after birth, so you should prepare comfortable and convenient diapers for your baby in advance so that they can be used immediately after delivery.

Moulting

Almost every newborn baby will shed its skin. This is mainly because the cuticle of the newborn's skin is immature and the connection with the dermis is not strong enough. , plus the skin shrinks after being soaked in amniotic fluid for a long time, so it is easy to shed. Nowadays, the weather is getting drier and drier. Mothers should help their babies clean them and pay attention to moisturizing the parts that have shed their skin.

Jaundice

Because the liver function of newborns is immature, more than half of babies will develop physiological jaundice after birth, which usually lasts for about a week and then disappears naturally. , Moms don’t need to be too nervous, but if the jaundice persists and the baby has a loss of appetite, it may be pathological jaundice and needs timely treatment.

Occipital alopecia

Almost every baby will have sparse or even no hair on the back of the head or neck after birth. This is mainly related to the baby's sleeping position. It will gradually improve over time and has nothing to do with the baby's calcium deficiency. Mothers can eliminate this phenomenon as soon as possible by changing the baby's pillow to a suitable pillow and correcting the baby's sleeping posture.

Dear mothers, do you understand these "abnormalities" that usually occur in newborn babies? But stop making a fuss, lest others laugh.
