Hello, dear parents, the little baby is here with full cuteness and “little troubles”! If you want to take better care of your baby, then here it is.
Today we will talk about these 6 key points of newborn care , which will ensure that you will understand and learn them at once! Enough of small talk, let’s get started!
The temperature and humidity must be understood.
The weather in some countries is freezing cold in winter and scorching hot in summer, but our baby’s body is as tender as tofu and can’t stand such tossing. The temperature at home must be stable, 24 to 28 degrees , just like the clear and cool autumn in many places, with a breeze blowing, it’s refreshing!
As for the humidity, keep it between 60 and 65 degrees , not too dry, and not too damp, otherwise the baby will have a small red rash on his body. When you see the child itchy, won’t you feel heartbroken?
Don’t mess around with the sleeping issue with newborn
Don’t let your little one sleep too much during the day, or he will be like a night owl at night, full of energy and will bother you.
When you see your child is sleepy, put him in the crib and let him sleep by himself . Don’t hold and rock him all the time. If you develop this habit, you will have a hard time at night. You will have to get up several times to hold and coax him.
When feeding and changing diapers at night, be gentle and don’t wake the child up completely, otherwise you will have to coax him all over again. Isn’t it annoying?
There are some requirements for small clothes and diapers as newborn care
Small clothes for babies should be made of pure cotton , soft and comfortable against the skin.
Don’t use those made of synthetic fibers, which are hard and rub the baby’s skin. The colors should not be too flashy, just light colors will be fine so that it is easy to see when it is dirty.
Diapers should also be made of pure cotton, and they should be washed and changed frequently. You may need to change them many times a day, so don’t think it is troublesome.
If you use diapers, you must choose high-quality and breathable ones , so that the baby’s bottom does not become red. If the baby’s bottom becomes red, it will make the baby uncomfortable and you will feel sad when you see it.
Feeding the baby in the right way. It is the best to breastfeed
Breast milk is the “magic medicine” for babies. No formula milk can compare to it. When feeding, the posture must be correct. Lift the baby’s head slightly to prevent him from choking. If you are feeding with formula milk, the nipple hole must be the right size and the temperature must be adjusted. It should not be too hot or too cold. After feeding, pat the baby on the back and let him burp to prevent him from vomiting milk. Otherwise, you will have to spend half a day washing clothes.
It is very important to take care of the baby’s butt in Newborn Care
After the baby poops or pees, you must quickly wipe the baby’s butt clean, wash it with warm water, and then apply some diaper cream to protect the baby’s butt .
If you are lazy and don’t do it well, the baby’s butt will turn red, and the baby will cry in pain when he poops. That scene is very annoying.
So, you have to pay attention to the care of the baby’s butt and don’t let your baby suffer.
Pay attention to the baby’s little head.
The newborn’s head is still soft, so sleeping posture is very important.
Don’t always let the baby sleep in one direction, otherwise the head will be tilted, which will not look good in the future.
You can sleep on your back or side. Sleep on your side after feeding to avoid spitting up milk.
If you sleep on your stomach, an adult must be watching next to you and don’t cover the child.
This little head is related to the baby’s future appearance, so we can’t be careless.
Dear parents, although newborn care is a little troublesome, it is worth it to see your baby grow up healthily day by day!
