Question
What should I pay attention to when caring for a newborn?
Answer
Newborn Care Essentials:
- Maintain a comfortable room temperature and humidity, ensure good ventilation, and avoid letting the baby catch a cold.
- Change diapers frequently.
- Do not feed the baby with overheated formula milk to prevent heat-related issues.
- If the mother has a cold, avoid breastfeeding and switch to formula feeding instead.
- If the baby often cries and is restless, you can feed them a nap tea to help reduce heat and aid digestion.
- When the mother’s milk supply is insufficient, she can eat pork foreleg to promote milk production, but avoid eating black fungus to prevent reducing milk supply.
- Pay attention to the baby’s personal hygiene and proper sleeping posture, avoiding side sleeping that may lead to a misshapen head.
- The baby should sleep in a crib and try to be close to the mother.
- Avoid feeding the baby overly hot or cold food, and do not feed the baby milk or tea that has been left overnight.
- The mother’s health is the premise of the baby’s health, so pay special attention to your own physical health. Lastly, wish you and your baby health and happiness.
