Newborn jandice
Jaundice is manifested in the baby’s skin and white eyes.[2] Essence
The cause of jaundice is because the liver of infants and young children is not fully developed, and the bilirubin in the body cannot be removed.When there are too many bilirubin, jaundice will appear.
If the jaundice is not treated in time, it will cause nuclear jaundice (Kernicterus).This disease can cause brain damage, cause baby’s vision and hearing damage, problems growing in the future, and may cause intellectual development disorder, hand, foot, and foot and foot.Moving motion cerebral palsy and other problems, so it is necessary to treat it in a timely manner in the early stages of jaundice.
Treatment of jaundice needs to be completed in the hospital.Doctors will use special light to take pictures of the baby.If the conditions at home are allowed, the doctor will also guide parents to take lights at home.
Generally, the baby is still in the hospital after birth.The nurse will check whether the baby has jaundice.During the regular examination after discharge, the nurse will also check whether the baby has jaundice.
In addition, if the baby has the following situations, parents need to take the baby to the hospital as soon as possible:

- The body is bow-shaped, the head, neck and foot heels are bent backwards, and the torso part protrudes forward;
- The body shows excessive stiffness or softness;
- Outstanding eyeballs appear.
Blue hands and feet
For babies who have just been born, because their blood circulation system has not been running normally, thereby unbalanced oxygen supply.Therefore, in the first few days of birth, the baby Hand and feet skin Blue or purple may appear.However, other body parts should not appear blue[twenty one]Essence
At this time, you can provide a warm environment for your baby, and the blue will gradually disappear and then show normal pink.
However, it should be noted that the blue of the hands and feet is often blocked with the respiratory tract, or choking, or the confusion of the heart problem.If you find that the child’s skin is blue or purple, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to let the doctor identify.For how to see a doctor in the United States, please see the article “U.S.Medical Seeing Process” Essence
SPIT up (spit up)
Tomiting is a problem that almost all babies may encounter, usually after drinking milk.
The baby vomit milk because the baby’s esophagus is relatively short, and it is easy to inhale the air when drinking milk.After drinking milk, the air that suck in is discharged with hiccups, and some milk may be brought out.
After drinking milk, a small amount of milk is not a disease.Generally, if the baby grows up slowly, it will disappear naturally.But for vomiting, parents need to pay attention to some points:
Be sure to slap in time after drinking milk (burping) Let the baby lie on the shoulder of an adult vertically, and the palm of his hand is slightly bent in hemispherical.Please take the baby’s back to help the baby’s gases in the stomach eliminate as soon as possible.An adult’s shoulder can be paved with a scum-hocked towel and staining the spit out of the clothes.Do not make your baby sleep directly.Even if the baby sleeps when drinking milk, he must make a cricket.Otherwise, if you drink milk, lie down and sleep flat, and the milk brought out of the snoring may block the baby’s respiratory tract.Danger.
Don’t feed too much milk at a time Sometimes the baby may drink milk quickly when you are hungry.At this time, you will first inhale more air, and the baby may drink too much.In this case, babies often bring out more milk when they snoring, and they will cause the stomach and the respiratory tract uncomfortable, and then cry, so, should be fed on time and a small amount on time.
If the baby’s vomiting is more frequent and serious, you can consider several improvements:
- use Anti-bonding bottle If the baby’s vomiting is more serious, you can consider changing the bottle and the use of bottle with antiphlastic designed, which can reduce the amount of air inhaled when the baby drinks milk.

- If the baby often spits when he sleeps after drinking milk, he will vomit milk when he sleeps flat, and you can consider raising the baby’s upper body.Let them sleep in the cradle with an inclined angle, or put some fixed fixing under the baby mattress.The mattresses have a certain tilt angle to prevent the milk from the baby’s belly.

The baby’s intestinal development may cause non-pathological pain due to insufficient development or improper diet.Such pain can continue to cry, and parents cannot see any discomfort from external performance.
For example, the baby’s skin is very healthy, and the mouth has no problem.There is no abnormal situation such as fever, cough, etc.After changing to clean diapers and drinking full milk, it will still cry for a while, the frequency is more than 3 days a week.Every day, I cried for more than 3 hours.If this happens, it is generally considered that the baby may have intestinal colic.
Intestinal colic is not a disease, so there is no medicine to use, and there is no suitable medical treatment to treat.What parents can do is help to soothe the baby’s emotions and avoid the baby’s crying for a long time, because crying will inhale air, plus adding air, plus adding to air.In additionIf the abdomen is hard, the intestinal colic may be aggravated.
When soothing the baby’s emotions, you can try the 5S soothing method proposed by Dr.Harvey Karp, a famous American pediatrician, [3], Respectively:
- Step 1: S Wadle 褓 大, use a large and soft parcel blanket to wrap the baby, put your hands on both sides of the body, and your hips are relaxed and bent.This posture is just like they are in the uterus, and being tightly surrounded to make the baby feel safe, so that they will have a better response to the subsequent 4 -step S appeasement steps.
- Step 2: S Ide or Stomach Position side lying or lying posture, adjust the baby’s posture to the side lying or lying position, especially when lying on the position, the baby’s stomach is close to the bed or the parent’s body, and the baby can feel more at ease, To play the effect of soothing.However, when you need to pay attention, this step requires adults to take care of it at any time.If adults need to leave, they must adjust their baby back to lie down to avoid the danger of suffocation.
- Step 3: S Hushing booed, the baby was surrounded by various blood flow and organ beating in the uterus.Therefore, after birth, the completely quiet environment will make the baby nervous.The sound of fans, waves, etc.can make the baby get more sense of security.
- Step 4: S Wing gently shaking.Like the third step, when the baby is in the uterus, it will be shaken because of the mother’s movement.Therefore, after birth, the slight shaking will make the baby feel like in the uterus.This will make them feel safe and safe and safe.Comfortable, in a timely manner, you can better quiet.
- Step 5: S Ucking sucks.When the baby sucks, the heart rate will be reduced, and the blood pressure level will be more stable, so as to reach a more calm state.This is why many babies suck their fingers to sleep, or some babies will rely on Pacifier.So when the baby does not want to drink milk, you can try the method of soothing the pacifier and so on, so that they can be calm without stimulating the stomach.

- Like avoiding vomiting, Use anti-flatulence bottles EssenceThe air that suck in when drinking milk does not discharge with hiccups but enters the intestine, which may cause intestinal colic, so using anti-bombing of bleeding bottle is a good way to avoid intestinal colic.

- Adjust the food formula EssenceSome ingredients in the baby’s diet may stimulate their stomach and intestinal colic.Therefore, you can find the food that causes the baby’s intestinal colic by changing the baby’s food.
- If it is a breast milk baby, when the baby has intestinal colic, the mother can recall whether to eat special things.For example, do not eat mango, I suddenly ate mango today, and then the baby shows uncomfortable appearance.It may indicate that the mother try to avoid eating mango during the breastfeeding stage.After planting food, babies are prone to discomfort.
- If it is a baby feeding baby, it may occur after drinking milk after a period of feeding, which may also happen.At this time, you can consider replacing a kind of Formula Try, if you change a milk powder and the baby is fine, it basically shows that the baby’s current stomach no longer adapts to the original milk powder.
- Replenish Probiotics(Probiotics).This can first determine whether to supplement probiotics with the baby’s family doctor.Probiotics can help build a healthier intestinal environment.During the baby’s physical examination, the doctor asked the baby’s condition.If the doctor proposed that you can add a probiotic to the baby, you can buy some infant probiotics at pharmacies or online stores, and take it for the baby according to the instructions for taking.Some studies have shown that the only probiotics that currently can effectively improve the condition of infant embryos are Roycillus Reutery, so you can buy lactic acid bacteria supplements containing this bacteria when purchasing.[4] Essence
