Four Focus On the Protection of the Newborn Baby

The newborn baby is so soft and tender, so many new mothers dare not to hold baby, and fear of harm to the baby or damage the baby. Next, I will tell you where is the most delicate of the baby, and which site is the most sensitive and need protection.

 The first sensitive part is fontanel. Fontanel is divided into the front fontanel and back fontanel. The front fontanel will be close at one and a half years old, but the back fontanel will be close at three months after birth. Fontanel is a diamond-shaped space of the skull in the middle of the baby head which has not been grown fully, like a throbbing pulse. The new mother usually avoids contact with this part. In fact, it is no need to be so uptight. There is a very thick layer of film on the fontanel to protect the baby, so the normal shampooing will not cause injury.


 The second sensitive part is the dandruff. There is always a layer of fulvous scalp like fish scales on the head of newborn baby, if you want to remove it, how to do? Do not use your hand to pull, which will hurt the baby. However, you can use the vegetable oil or baby oil to coat lightly, after it is softened, the dandruff will gradually fall off naturally.

 The third sensitive part is the umbilical cord. The place of umbilical cord should be dry. When you use diaper, you should avoid the umbilical cord soaking in the urine. Do not let the newborn baby soak in the water for too long time when you take a bath for him. After a bath, you should use cotton with alcohol or iodine to wipe the umbilical cord. And you should pay attention to observe, once you find the abnormal phenomenon such as swelling or water seepage, you need to take your baby to go to see a doctor, because once the umbilical cord is infected, it will cause serious consequences.

 The fourth sensitive part is the butt. The little butt of newborn baby has the most frequent work, and it is more uneasy to care. When you let baby to use the diapers, you can use the transitional diapers and modern diapers interchangeably. In the daytime and summer, it is appropriate to more use cloth diapers, but at night, it is appropriate to more use paper diaper. After the baby discharge the stool, mother should use skin towel with warm water to wash the butt of baby. Later, let the butt dry for a while, not immediately wrap with the diapers.
