Introduction
The arrival of a new life has made new parents ecstatic, but feeding the baby is not easy.
feeding babies is not limited to eating full and sleeping soundly. Parents also have to deal with various difficulties that arise during the feeding process of the baby.
Not only that, because it is the first time that new parents become parents, they will feel at a loss about some strange phenomena that appear on their babies.
They cannot tell whether these are normal or abnormal physiological phenomena for the baby. They can't help but worry about the baby's development. In fact, there are 8 strange phenomena in the baby, which is not a disease. Don't make a fuss about it.
Strange phenomena of newborns: These symptoms of babies are not diseases. Parents should not worry about going to the hospital
1. Curled up all over
When taking care of the baby, novices will find a strange phenomenon: No matter how the parents fiddled with or adjust the baby's limbs, after a while, the baby will return to the curled up all over again. What's going on?
Baby's legs and feet always bend unconsciously. After a long time, won't the baby feel tired? This behavior of the newborn really makes parents confused. It is obvious that the posture is more comfortable, but does the baby have to curl up his limbs?
In fact, the baby's whole body is curled up, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.
In the middle of pregnancy, the fetus' posture in the uterus can still change, but in the late pregnancy, as the fetus grows bigger and bigger, the space in uterus is limited, so the fetus has to curl up its whole body until the baby is born.
Because he had maintained a curled posture for a long time, the baby could not immediately return to normal posture after birth. The baby still retained a curled posture. This posture also made him feel safe. This phenomenon will gradually improve within 1 year old.
Newborns like to curl up all over their body. Mothers should not interfere too much, and do not use the method of tying their hands and feet to help the baby correct their posture.
Before the baby is full month old, the mother will find that the baby's body will gradually stretch, and he will stretch his body by stretching his hands, kicking his legs, etc. When the baby bid farewell to the curled position, he found the most comfortable position.
2. Peeling
newborn is too ugly, right? The whole body is covered with a thick layer of fertilized fat, and there are some residues left on it, which looks terrible.
In fact, the newborn baby is also very aggrieved. When passing through the birth canal, it is stained with a lot of impurities, which makes the baby look not beautiful at all. Moreover, because the skin is suddenly exposed to the air, the baby will peel.
Not only that, the baby's forehead is covered with different thicknesses of fertilization fat. A large piece of fertilization fat is all yellow. The fertilization fat is particularly ugly, and many mothers can't help but use their hands to pick it off.
In fact, the baby's lesion will slowly fall off by itself. Mothers do not need to clean it up deliberately, and the baby does not need to seek medical treatment.
If the mother really minds the fertilization on the baby's head, she can bathe the baby more, which can speed up the fertilization of the fertilization.
3.Fontane is not closed, it is the softest place on the top of the head
The skull of the newborn is not completely closed, and the weakest place on the head is the fontanelle.
fontanelle is not only flat, but also open. It will not be closed until 2-3 months before the posterior fontanelle will be closed, and anterior fontanelle will not close before the baby is 2 years old.
It is normal for a newborn to have no closure of the fontanelle. The first 4 months are the fastest stage of skull growth.
Before the fontanelle is closed, mothers should protect their baby's fontanelle, do not shave their heads, and do not forcefully clean the dirt on the fontanelle.
When mother bathes the baby, clean the baby's head. The mother's movements should be as gentle as possible and do not hurt the baby's fontanelle.
4. Physiological reflex
After the baby is born, a series of reflex behaviors such as jumping reflexes and gripping reflexes will slowly disappear after the baby is about 6 months old. Parents do not need excessive intervention.
However, if the baby still has these reflex behaviors after 7 months, mothers should be wary of whether the baby has brain development problems.
5. Weight drops first and then rises - during the sharp rise period
After the baby is born, although he eats milk every day, the baby's weight is different from what we imagined and is not always growing.
The excess body fluid in the newborn will gradually be discharged within a few days after birth, so the baby's weight will lose 10% within one week of birth.
However, from the 5th day of the baby's birth, the weight will no longer decrease, but will begin to grow steadily. By about 14 days, the weight is almost the same as when the baby was born.
Before the baby is full month, the baby will experience two surge periods: days 7-10 and weeks 2-3. During this period, the mother needs to increase the number of breastfeedings of the baby to allow the baby to get sufficient nutrition.
weight gain by 2 kilograms within one month of birth, which means that the baby's weight is within the normal range. On the contrary, the mother needs to supplement the baby's nutrition in time.
6. Head deformation
If the newborn is born with , it will be a little sharp after being squeezed by the birth canal, and the fetus' head will be deformed to varying degrees. This is the consequence of the fetus's success in order to pass through the birth canal.
However, the baby's head recovery ability is relatively strong. If it is head edema caused by compression, the swelling will gradually decrease within a few weeks of the baby's birth.
Baby's head deformity caused by natural birth, mothers do not need to deal with it extra, let alone scratch it, otherwise the baby will be easily infected, but when the baby sleeps, you can raise the other side of the head to let the baby have a good head shape.
7. Color of fetal stool
The first feces discharged after the baby is born is fetal stool.
The color of fetal stool is a bit strange, it is green stool. The baby must first discharge the fetal stool before the fetal stool will return to its normal color.
The time for each baby to stool is different. Some babies will stool after birth, and some babies will stool within 24 hours after they appear.
Mother breastfeeds the baby as soon as possible, which can promote the excretion of fetal stool.
8. Newborn body temperature changes greatly
When the baby is just born, the temperature regulation center has not yet worked normally, and the baby is not as fat as before the baby is full month old. If the temperature changes are obvious, the baby's body lacks the ability to keep warm.
Not only that, the baby's hands and feet will be colder than other parts and the color is greener. These parts are more sensitive to temperature, so the baby needs to keep warmer.
Because the newborn lacks the ability to regulate temperature in the first 3 weeks of birth, the temperature will be high and low.
Mothers should add clothes to their babies in time: When the weather is cold, be more clothes, be careful to keep warm, wear less clothes when the weather is hot, pay attention to heat dissipation, and do not wrap it tightly, as the baby is more likely to get sick.
