How to nurse the newborn's oral cavity? Operation process of neonatal oral care.

The newborn baby's oral mucosa epithelium is very delicate, with rich blood vessels and little saliva secretion, so the oral mucosa is relatively clean and prone to rupture and infection. How do newborns care for their oral cavity? The following is my arrangement on how to care for the newborn's oral cavity, for reference only.

How to nurse the newborn's oral cavity 1? Feed warm water often.

Whether breast-fed or artificially fed, children should develop the habit of drinking water regularly after or during breastfeeding. Especially when the baby is sick, has a fever or is infected, it is necessary to feed Qin Ying warm boiled water, which can not only remove the milk residue in the oral cavity, but also help the internal circulation and prevent constipation.

2. Breastfeeding mothers should strictly keep their nipples clean, and those who feed milk powder should also ensure the hygiene of milk utensils.

For breast-fed babies, mothers should wash their hands and nipples with soap before feeding, and the towel to wipe the nipples should be disinfected before use. For artificially fed babies, bottles and droppers should be cleaned and sterilized at high temperature before they can be used by babies. When measuring the temperature of milk, parents can drop a drop on the back of their hands instead of sucking the nipple directly to avoid the spread of bacteria.

Parents should also know not to kiss the baby's mouth too much, otherwise it will infect the baby with pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria and viruses. The baby's resistance is poor and it is easy to cause diseases.

3. Don't let the baby fall asleep with the pacifier.

Babies are highly dependent. For example, some children like to sleep with pacifiers, and parents like to let their babies sleep with pacifiers in order to appease their babies. This wrong way is the main cause of baby bottle caries. In addition, don't let the baby fall asleep with empty nipples, which will limit the normal saliva secretion in the baby's mouth and affect the baby's future tooth growth.

4. Parents should know the contraindications of neonatal oral health care.

First, what is it? Horse teeth? . At 6 weeks, the fetus forms the original tissue of the teeth, called the dental plate. The tooth germ is formed on the dental plate, and then the tooth germ grows into the dental plate, and the broken dental plate is absorbed and disappeared. Sometimes these severed dental plates form some epithelial cell clusters, and their central keratinization becomes epithelial beads. Some epithelial beads remain in the clavicle for a long time, and some appear on the gingival mucosa after discharge. Horse teeth? . When the baby was born? Horse teeth? It is best to consult a doctor, and parents should not handle it without authorization.

Taboo 1: Pick? Horse teeth? .

Some parents use dirty needles to pick holes? Horse teeth? It often causes oral infection, even complicated with neonatal sepsis, purulent meningitis and other serious systemic diseases, threatening the health and life of newborns.

Taboo 2: Wipe your mouth.

Because the newborn's oral mucosa is tender, if you wipe your mouth with unclean things, it will easily cause hyperplasia of oral mucosa epithelium and mucous glands.

Children can't talk. If they are uncomfortable, they can only cry. Parents must carefully observe whether the child's crying is normal. If they find that the child should drink milk but doesn't, they will cry blindly. Parents must see if their children have oral diseases. If you can't say it, you must find a pediatrician to diagnose and find out the reason, so as not to affect your normal development.

Normal newborns don't need oral care, just wipe the milk stains on lips, corners of the mouth and mandible after milking to keep the skin and mucosa clean and fresh. If you have stomatitis or other oral diseases, you need to do oral care. Preparation materials: a therapeutic bowl, 6 cotton balls soaked in normal saline, 1 bottle of sterilized liquid paraffin oil, or boiled edible vegetable oil can also be placed in the nursing basket, including 1 tweezers, 1 cotton swab, 1 teapot (with warm water) and two small towels.

Operating Steps: Before oral care, wash your hands, and the newborn will lie on its side, and wrap a towel around the chin and pillow to prevent clothes and pillows from getting wet. Clamp the 1 saline cotton ball with tweezers, first wipe the inside of cheeks and the outside of gums, then wipe the inside of gums and tongue, and replace at least one cotton ball at each position. Be careful not to touch the pharynx to avoid nausea. After scrubbing, wipe the face and corners of the mouth with a towel. If the lips are dry, apply paraffin oil or edible vegetable oil, and apply medicine in the mouth when necessary. Pay attention to the items used in oral care must be clean and hygienic, and can only be used after disinfection. Cotton balls should not be soaked in too much solution to prevent the baby from inhaling the solution into the respiratory tract. The operation should be light, and the cotton ball should be clamped to prevent the cotton ball from falling to the back of the mouth and blocking the throat and causing suffocation.
