How old is the newborn? How can the baby report safely during this period?

For my mother, the happiest moment of being pregnant for ten months is hearing the baby cry for the first time, which not only announces the beginning of a new life, but also marks the beginning of my mother's new life. Of course, for fathers, it means more family responsibilities. So let's talk about the baby's first month. What knowledge should parents know?

1. Premature and term infants

Here we usually refer to the newborn whose mother's umbilical cord has fallen off for about 28 days. We take the length of life in the mother's body as the basis for us to distinguish premature babies from full-term babies. A full-term baby refers to a baby who has been pregnant for a long time, that is, a child born at 37-42 weeks. The children born from this incident generally weigh about 2.5 to 3.8 Jin.

Premature babies are earlier than full-term babies. We mean 28-37 weeks pregnant and born at the early stage of construction. Therefore, these children are generally lighter and their organs are not mature enough. At this time, the doctor may give you some advice, such as keeping warm in an incubator, or taking care of the children with special feeding methods. At this time, you must not take care of them yourself. Just trust the doctor.

2. Baby skin

The stratum corneum of newborn skin is particularly thin, the subcutaneous blood vessels are the thickest and particularly rich, and the frequency of defecation will be very high. If parents do not give timely skin care and cleaning, over time, more and more metabolites will be produced, which will irritate children's skin, especially the neck, behind the ears and buttocks. The more invisible the place, the more attention should be paid to using some mild and non-irritating toiletries when cleaning.

First feeding

Don't always think about crying before the baby is suckled. The correct way is to feed as soon as possible after birth, usually on the same day. Don't believe that some books on the market can replace the nutrition of breast milk. If it can be replaced, then why is the market demand for breast milk extremely huge? Some adults even buy breast milk to drink, which indirectly shows the nutrition of breast milk.

Don't be nervous about breastfeeding for the first time. There are many things that can be done with the right posture, such as lying in bed with a comfortable and soft pillow. In short, it is conducive to the feeding of the baby. Feeding artifact feeding chair feeding pillow bed, confinement, waist protection, baby holding on the backrest, anti-vomiting baby, lying and hugging.

Let's talk about common postures first. First, pick up the baby, let her sit on your knee, put her head on your right elbow and rest her face on your right chest. Hold your chest gently with your hands and feed your baby.

The above three points should be carefully followed, so do you have any experience in nursing newborns?
