How Do Novice Parents Learn Carefully With Their Children

In the joy of welcoming the arrival of a new life, parents are also facing many parenting challenges, among which the feeding and health management of newborns are particularly important. The physiological characteristics of newborns determine that they need special care in the feeding process. This article will focus on the special structure of the newborn's stomach, breast milk jaundice, milk protein allergy, dyspepsia and other common problems, to provide parents with scientific childcare guidance.

The stomach of the newborn is horizontal, the capacity is limited, the muscle development is not perfect, and the cardiac sphincter is loose. Under the combined effect of these factors, the newborn is prone to milk reflux when breastfeeding is too much or the feeding method is not appropriate, that is, we often say "milk spilling". In order to effectively prevent this phenomenon, parents should master the correct feeding posture, such as cradle type, cross type, etc., to ensure that the baby's head is in line with the body, which is conducive to swallowing and digestion. After the feeding, the baby should be held upright, with his head resting gently on his parents' shoulders, and gently patted on his back to help expel the air in his stomach and reduce the risk of milk spilling. In addition, it is also an important measure to prevent asphyxia caused by milk spilling when the baby sleeps on its side.

Breast milk jaundice is a common physiological phenomenon in newborns, which is manifested by yellowing of skin and sclera. Fortunately, this jaundice will be significantly relieved within 24 to 48 hours after breast milk withdrawal, and then naturally subside. In most cases, there is no need for special treatment for breast milk jaundice. Parents can continue to breastfeed after being diagnosed by doctors, because breast milk is still an ideal food source for babies.

If the newborn is diagnosed with cow's milk protein allergy, the parents should strictly follow the doctor's advice and use the deep hydrolysis formula or amino acid formula for feeding. This kind of special formula can effectively reduce the risk of allergy and ensure the nutrition intake of the baby. The feeding time should last for at least 6 months, or until the baby reaches the age of 9 to 12 months. For severe allergies, it may be extended to 12 to 18 months. During this period, parents should not change the formula at will to avoid affecting the baby's health recovery.

The digestive system of the newborn is not yet mature, and the gastrointestinal peristalsis is weak. A little carelessness may lead to indigestion. Parents should adhere to the principle of feeding on demand, and pay attention to the baby's appetite, appetite, abdominal condition and stool characteristics. Once abnormal conditions such as food refusal, abdominal flatulence, vomiting, and stool changes are found, they should seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying the condition.

In general, the feeding and health management of newborns need the careful care and scientific guidance of parents. By mastering the correct feeding posture, reasonably coping with breast milk jaundice, scientifically handling milk protein allergy and carefully observing the baby's digestion, parents can create a more healthy and safe growth environment for the baby.
