What should be the navel of a newborn?
The baby is discharged from the hospital with medical clothespin on the umbilical cord. After 3-4 days, with proper care, this pin is no longer own. For this to happen in life, you need to follow so that the umbilical wound is not mokla. To do this, try not to close the belly button diaper (it is better to buy at this time of the product with a cut to the navel, or do it yourself). Every day, after the evening bath thoroughly but gently lubricates the wound Zelenko. If a pediatrician resolve, bathe the baby in herbal teas (in what is - advises specialist), until the wound heals.
If you do not perform these actions, the umbilical wound gets an infection that spread quickly on the small body. As a consequence - blood poisoning which can be fatal.
Body temperature: what is normal for a newborn?
Features of the newborn are in the temperature of his body. In young children, the thermoregulation mechanism does not work as an adult. In other words, it is imperfect. For example, if the room is too hot, and the temperature of the infant may increase. So do not be alarmed if the crumbs temperature has reached the mark of 37,5S. For babies is - the norm. Lower the temperature can be, dressed child in a lighter clothing.
If the simple manipulation of the dressing does not help to reduce the temperature, and the kid is naughty, perhaps a child with health problems. In this case, it is not necessary to delay the visit to the pediatrician!
What does chin shaking?
Many parents came across such a feature of newborns as chin trembling during sleep or feeding. For this phenomenon, the nervous system of the crumbs is responsible, but at the same time it is not pathology and the cause for concern: just the nervous system of the baby is not yet sufficiently developed, and therefore it just "does not know", how to behave.
In some cases, parents can note not only the shake of the chin in the infant, but also twitching the entire calf or limbs - pediatricians call this phenomenon by the result of the moro reflex. This phenomenon is more often observed when there are sharp loud sounds next to the baby or parents make awkward movements, causing the newborn. Therefore, you should always be extremely attentive and careful: when you take a child in your hands, do it slowly and calmly when you pass around - do not make sharp movements.
White dots on the face: What is it?
This feature of newborns is called another Milium. It is formed on the skin of the child in the last days before the appearance of the light. The cause of white points becomes the enhanced work of the root glands of the crumbs, which leads to blockage of pores.
Milium can be formed anywhere on the face of a newborn: this is the forehead area, chin, cheeks, lips, sinuses of the nose. These points should not cause anxiety - after a few weeks after the birth of the baby, they will disappear independently, since the epidermis of the baby normalizes its work, as a result of which fat will not be produced so active. And to speed up the process of disappearing Milium, wash the crumb in the morning and in the evening barely warm water.
Baby and breastfeeding
Today after the birth of the baby immediately put to the mother breast (usually it happens in the first 30 minutes after the delivery). And in the first seconds, the baby begins to suck her mother's chest, as a sucking reflex is well developed. So that breastfeeding was successful, the mother must learn how to give a crumb chest.
So, if you felt that the baby is hard, but sucks your chest, and in the chest you feel painful painless sensations, then the baby is applied to the chest correctly, and the feeding is successful. If the baby captured the chest not completely, and you feel unpleasant pain, then you need to re-attach the crumb to the chest, pre-taking it with a neubility (for this you need to shove your little finger in the corner of the baby's mouth). If some problems arise with feeding, consult a pediatrician: the doctor will definitely teach you the right GW.
