For most moms and dads, taking care of their children is a strange thing, so when the baby has some abnormalities, everyone will be very anxious: what's wrong with the child ? What should I do? Don’t worry, today Jun’s mom will talk to you about the nursing problems that moms and dads often encounter. Please write them down~
1.吐奶
Some babies spit up milk shortly after eating, and some even squirt milk. The scene is very scary. The reason for this is that the baby's intestines and stomach are not fully developed and the milk can easily flow back into the mouth to cause spitting up. Although it looks terrible, there is no need to worry too much. It can be improved by changing some feeding methods.
Treatment method:
Be careful not to let the child eat too quickly, always keep the baby's head and upper body at a 45° angle to the horizontal position when feeding. In addition, you can stop and pat the baby on the back while feeding, and wait until the milk hiccups are taken before continuing to feed; pay attention to use the hollow palm to pat the milk hiccups to avoid hurting the baby. There is no need to panic when the baby vomits milk, as long as it is cleaned up in time without blocking the nose and mouth.
2. Milky scab
I believe that many mothers find that there are many dead skin-like things on the baby’s head, which looks very disgusting. The most maddening thing is that these things are very sticky Tight, it's hard to get it off. In fact, this thing is called cradle cap, which is the product of the oil and dust on the surface of the baby's skin. It is generally not painful or itchy, and has no obvious effect on the child's health.
Treatment method:
The easiest way is to leave it alone, the cradle cap will slowly fall off with daily cleaning. If you really can’t stand it, remember not to pick it up with your hands (it’s easy to hurt your baby’s scalp), but first apply some baby skin oil and olive oil to your baby’s scalp, and then wash your hair after the cradle cap is softened, usually repeat several times The cradle cap is washed away.
3. Calcium deficiency
Many times mothers will hear similar remarks, that is, the baby will be calcium deficient, so we must give him calcium. But in fact, whether it is drinking breast milk or formula milk powder, as long as the baby can guarantee the daily milk intake, there will be no calcium deficiency. On the contrary, many babies have calcium excess due to calcium supplementation by adults.
Treatment method:
There is no need to pay too much attention to calcium supplementation, as long as the daily diet is healthy. Of course, if the baby does have calcium deficiency, such as rickets, in addition to proper calcium supplementation, you must also pay attention to vitamin D supplementation. For example, take your children out to sunbathe. Of course, you can also supplement some vitamin D agents according to the situation.
4. Hiccup
Sometimes the baby does not know whether it is eating too fast or for some reason, and it will suddenly and continuously hiccup. At this time many mothers They will be very anxious and worry that they will have insomnia. But in fact, this is a very normal situation, and it will disappear naturally over time. If it is really uncomfortable, then try the following methods.
Treatment method:
Use the middle finger to flick the baby's foot to make them cry. After the crying stops, the hiccups often stop. Although a little cruel, it is very effective. In addition, you can let the baby drink some milk, and it has a certain effect of stopping hiccups; in addition, you can rub your palms hard, and when the palms are warm, cover your baby’s belly and massage gently. This method is more suitable for fathers, because they The palm of the hand is bigger.
5. There is sputum
When the impurities in the air enter the trachea, they will stimulate the body to secrete mucus to absorb dirt, so sputum is formed. So baby’s phlegm is not necessarily a cough. When they have phlegm in their throat, don’tI was eager to use cough and phlegm medicines, but tried to drain the phlegm from my throat.
Treatment method:
The best way is to let the baby spit it out by himself, you can let the baby lie on your arm, and let him lean forward slightly, holding the other hand into an empty fist gently Pat the baby's back so that the sputum will slowly transfer to the baby's mouth, which can then be cleaned up with your fingers.
6. Stuffed nose
In autumn and winter, babies are very prone to nasal congestion. For this reason, some mothers worry about whether the baby has a cold. So I hurriedly close the doors and windows, and at the same time add clothes to the baby, but in fact, this behavior not only has no relief effect, but also aggravates the condition.
Treatment method:
Neonatal nasal passages are narrow, blood vessels are abundant, and nasal mucosal edema is prone to occur, and the temperature is unstable in autumn and winter, and the baby is easy to change due to the cold and heat of the external environment Stuffed nose caused by irritation. It is recommended to pay attention to control the surrounding temperature to avoid excessive temperature difference. In addition, it is not possible to cover it. Timely opening windows for ventilation can alleviate the problem of nasal congestion.
7. Intestinal colic
Sometimes the baby will have this kind of situation, such as sudden crying, flushing of the face, pallor around the mouth, The stomach is swollen and tense, the legs are curled up, the feet are cold, and the hands are clenched. No matter how much you coax, this is actually the child's colic. Intestinal colic is a very common situation, which usually occurs at night, and it may appear 2 weeks to 4 months after the baby is born.

You can feed your baby some milk immediately, sucking the nipple can make them feel safe and restore calm; you can also rub the baby’s belly in a clockwise direction, pay attention In winter, you need to rub your hands first; the last is the airplane hug, let the baby lie on the forearm, and hold the baby's chin. This holding position can effectively relieve intestinal colic.
8. Circumcision
Some novice mothers are very nervous when they see that the baby is loose. Is there something wrong with the baby? But in fact, the baby has loose stools, has milk flaps, and turns green, which are all relatively normal conditions. As long as the baby can eat and play, the abdomen does not rise, and there is no separation of water in the stool, then it is all OK.
Treatment method:
Generally, there is no need to deal with it, and it will get better over time. And if the baby has sparse stools and the interval between feedings is short, then it means that they are not getting enough to eat, possibly because the milk is insufficient. At this time, it is recommended that mothers find ways to promote breastfeeding. In addition, if it is caused by lactose intolerance to increase the frequency of stools and become loose and green, then you must go to the hospital and consult a doctor in time.
9. Constipation
Most babies with breast milk do not have constipation, and only a small part of them have mild constipation due to their mother’s diet. The baby who eats milk powder has a higher probability of constipation, and most of the stools are strip-shaped, spherical, and will not be absorbed by diapers.
Treatment method:
Breast-fed constipation babies only need mothers to properly adjust their diet. The baby who eats milk powder is also very simple, you can increase the amount of water you feed, and you can also consider changing to a brand of milk powder.
10.红PP
Some babies’ butts will suddenly become red and look like they have been scalded. In fact, this is what everyone often says Red PP, also called diaper rash.
Treatment method:
First of all, pay attention to cleaning. After each bowel movement, clean the buttocks with water in time, and then apply some olive oil and sesame oil to protect the baby's skin. In addition, look at the breathability of diapers, and change the brand if necessary.
11.Umbilical hernia
is mainly manifested as the belly button suddenly becomes very big, protruding very obviously. Generally speaking, the umbilical hernia will become obvious when the baby is crying and defecation, and shrinks when the baby is sleeping or quiet, and some may even become invisible. In most cases, umbilical hernia does not need to be treated and will heal on its own after 1-2 years of age.
Treatment method:
The skin near the umbilical hernia is red or even purple, the protruding part has not been recovered, and the baby is crying in pain, then it may be hernia incarceration. Seek medical treatment immediately, and surgery if necessary.
12. Jaundice
Some babies start to have jaundice after 2-5 days of birth. This is because the red blood cells in the baby's body are fragmented and release a lot of bilirubin. Under normal circumstances, this jaundice will go away on its own after 1-2 weeks, so you don't need to pay too much attention.
Treatment method:
Ultraviolet rays can promote the resolution of jaundice, so you can properly expose your baby to sunlight, and pay attention to protect your baby's eyes. In addition, if the baby's jaundice becomes more and more serious and does not mean to go away, then it is likely to be pathological jaundice and you need to go to the hospital immediately.

You read that right, these years hair loss has spread to the babies. The original black and beautiful hair gradually became thinner, and some even bald overnight. It was too sudden. .
Treatment method:
Don’t worry, this is actually normal. Many babies lose hair because they sweat easily, and the sweat-soaked hair keeps rubbing against the pillow, and that piece of hair will It's obvious. So there is no need to worry about this situation, as the baby will slowly return to normal when he gets older.
