Newborn baby's summer strategy is here

      Facing the baby born in summer, the novice parents can't help being embarrassed when they are happy. The weather is so hot, can the newborn baby use the air conditioner and electric fan?

　　It's hot outside. Can you take your baby out to breathe fresh air?

　　In such a hot day, will the newborn baby get prickly heat when wrapped in swaddling clothes?

　　In short, neither cold nor hot, it's really hard to be a father or a mother.

　　"Neonatal period" is an adaptation period from the mother's womb to the outside life. The research on the normal development of the main organ functions of the newborn's various systems has not yet been mature. The level of immune cell function is low, the ability of temperature regulation and control is poor, and it is easy to be infected. The hot weather in midsummer makes parents more careful, scientific and reasonable in their care of the new baby.

　　temperature

　　Neonates have poor thermoregulation and heat dissipation.

　　When the ambient temperature is too high, it is easy to have a high fever, resulting in shortness of breath, blushing, sweating, crying and other symptoms.

　　Parents must pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling of infants.

　　In order to keep the indoor air fresh, the sun is suitable, and there is a slight natural wind, but direct blowing and ventilation should be avoided.

　　If the outdoor temperature is above 35 ℃.

　　The fan or air conditioner shall be properly turned on to keep the indoor temperature at 25 ℃~30 ℃.

　　But parents must not let the air conditioner and electric fan blow directly to the baby, because it is easy to make the temperature regulation system not develop into the baby's cold, fever and diarrhea.

　　light

　　In the sunny summer, parents hang thick curtains in the room for fear that the sun will stimulate the baby's eyes.

　　In fact, this is not the case.

　　The baby should learn to adapt to the natural indoor light, as long as the parents pay attention to avoid direct exposure of strong light to the baby's eyes.

　　Rehydration

　　Don't forget to give your newborn baby more water.

　　Some children's mothers think that the water management should be sufficient when the baby is feeding, which is wrong.

　　It is necessary to feed the baby more water between each feeding, which is especially important for the newborn baby in the hot summer.

　　Summer is also a common season for intestinal infectious diseases.

　　If the mother eats unclean food and suffers from intestinal infectious diseases, the possibility of transmission to the newborn is high, so the mother should pay special attention to her own dietary hygiene.

　　In addition, the mother should take a bath, change her underwear, and keep her breasts clean;

　　Before breastfeeding, wash your hands and clean your nipple and areola with a clean hot towel.

　　If artificial feeding is used, pay more attention to hygiene, sterilize the bottle and eat immediately, and do not eat the remaining milk.

　　take a shower

　　Each bath should be arranged 1-2 hours before feeding to avoid vomiting.

　　After taking a bath, the baby's body, especially the wrinkles on the skin, should be dried in time.

　　Before the umbilical cord of the newborn falls off, the umbilical cord of the baby should also be dried in time to prevent umbilical cord infection.

　　When taking a bath, press the upper body first and then the lower body, wash the head and neck, armpit, palm, elbow, chest, abdomen, and finally clean the groin, thigh, armpit folds, feet, etc.

　　Then, put the left forearm in front of the newborn, and put the palm on the right armpit of the newborn, so that the posture is forward, and clean the back, buttocks and buttock lines.

　　After all, wash the baby, turn it over to the supine position, keep the left hand on the head and neck, use the right hand, grasp the ankle to lift the baby's water, put it on the dry towel blanket to prepare in advance, wrap it up, dry it gently, and note that the skin wrinkles should be gently dipped dry.

　　Prickly heat

　　Most prickly heat occurs after newborn babies sweat.

　　Babies with prickly heat often scratch the skin due to itching, causing skin infection, and even severe diseases such as sepsis and meningitis.

　　To prevent the baby from developing heat rash, pay attention to the following points:

　　1. Don't dress your baby too much to avoid excessive sweating.

　　2. Take a bath frequently and change your underwear frequently, especially after sweating a lot, to keep your skin clean and dry.

　　3. For the baby, wear loose cotton clothes with good ventilation and moisture absorption.

　　4. Don't hold the baby for a long time. Try to let the baby play on the mat alone to avoid passing the adult's temperature to the baby.

　　5. Don't let your baby sleep on impermeable materials such as plastic cloth, and don't take it off completely to avoid skin irritation and heat rash.

　　6. Once the baby is found to have prickly heat, it is the best way to bathe frequently.

　　When bathing, warm water should be used, neither cold nor hot water should be used; Do not use some irritating alkaline soap; Dry immediately after taking a bath.

　　Once boils occur, you should take your baby to the hospital for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Never squeeze boils by yourself to prevent infection from spreading.

　　Clothes and diapers

　　Newborn underwear should be soft and easy to absorb moisture from cotton cloth, especially in hot summer. It should be more comfortable and loose. Do not use chemical fiber fabrics;

　　The color of baby clothes should be light to facilitate the detection of dirt and prevent the dye from irritating the newborn's skin;

　　The clothes should be loose as far as possible, so as not to interfere with physical movement and easy to wear and take off;

　　The soft absorbent cotton cloth should be cleaned and replaced frequently, usually more than 4 times in the daytime and more than 2 times in the evening. The small buttocks should be cleaned and applied with a proper amount of skin care grease each time;

　　The diaper should have good air permeability. Try to use diapers at home, and only use diapers when going out or sleeping;

　　Be careful not to wrap the diaper too tightly so that the baby's limbs can stretch freely.

　　Mosquito prevention

　　The delicate skin of a newborn is easy to be bitten by mosquitoes. Once the mosquito is poisonous, skin problems will lead to a serious swelling, or even no fever.

　　Therefore, mosquito repellent liquid can be used properly, but it is better to use special baby products, which has less irritating effect on the skin.

　　Do not use insecticide or mosquito repellent incense in the newborn room.

　　Although these things can drive away insects and mosquitoes, they can cause harm to newborn babies.

　　Due to the poor detoxification function of neonates, they are very sensitive to a few chemicals and may be allergic or poisoned.

　　If you really want to use it, you'd better put the newborn in another room and come back after the smell is cleared.

　　Try to use mosquito nets to prevent mosquitoes and pay attention to ventilation.
