5 Common Senses When Take Care of Newborns 照顾新生儿的5大常识

1. Prevent diaper rash and redness 防止尿布疹

Diaper rash is a common form of inflamed skin that appears as a patchwork of bright red skin on your baby's bottom. It is often related to wet or infrequently changed diapers, skin sensitivity, mainly because the newborn baby's skin is soft.

To effectively prevent, you must master these three key points: keep it clean & dry, reduce friction, and change frequently! Newborns average use up to 8 to 10 diaper changes per day.

尿布疹，主要是新生宝宝皮肤柔软，大小便后未及时更换尿布或纸尿裤以及未擦洗臀部，皮肤浸泡所致。

如要有效预防，必须掌握三个要诀：清洁 与干燥、减少摩擦，更要勤力换!新生宝宝大概需要8至10片尿片。

2. Baby tummy pain 宝宝肠绞痛

It is frustrated for parents when the newborn baby's tummy pain occurs. You should first observe the pain and progress.

Exclude pathological abdominal pain, if the pain is not severe and there is no obvious abnormal situation, you can just use a warm towel to heat it, or massage it clockwise.

If the pain is severe, sharp, accompanied by vomiting and other symptoms, prompt medical attention is needed.

可能你会发现新生宝宝一直哭闹，可能是肠绞痛。如发现新生宝宝有肠绞痛，排除了病理性的腹痛，疼痛不剧烈，没有明显的异常情况的话，可以用毛巾热敷一下，又或者顺时针用去风油按摩一下。

如发现腹痛严重，急剧，伴随呕吐等症状，必须及时就医。

An important part of feeding a newborn baby is burping. Burping helps to get rid of some of the air that babies tend to swallow during feeding.

Try different positions for burping that are comfortable for you and your newborn baby. The 3 most common ways as below:

Sit upright and hold your baby against your chest.

Your baby's chin should rest on your shoulder as you support the baby with one hand. With the other hand, gently pat your baby's back. S

Hold your baby sitting up, in your lap or across your knee.

Support your baby's chest and head with one hand by cradling your baby's chin in the palm of your hand. Rest the heel of your hand on your baby's chest, but be careful to grip your baby's chin, not the throat. Use the other hand to pat your baby's back.

Lay your baby on your lap on his or her belly.

Support baby's head and make sure it's higher than his or her chest. Gently pat your baby's back.

喂打嗝是照顾新生宝宝其中最重要的部分之一，打嗝有助于新生宝宝在喂食时排出吞咽的空气。

尝试不同的打嗝位置，让您和宝宝感到舒适。 最常见的3种方式如下：

坐直，抱着宝宝靠在胸前

当你用一只手支撑宝宝时，宝宝的下巴应该放在你的肩膀上。 用另一只手轻轻拍打宝宝的背部。

抱着宝宝坐起膝盖

通过将宝宝的下巴握在手掌中，用一只手支撑宝宝的胸部和头部。 将手掌放在宝宝的胸部，但小心抓住宝宝的下巴，而不是喉咙。

放宝宝在你的膝盖

用另一只手拍拍宝宝的背部。支撑宝宝的头部并确保它高于胸部。 轻轻拍拍宝宝的背部。

4. Reflux milk splitting 吐奶

When the newborn baby first spits milk, the parent must be worried.

In fact, the phenomenon of baby spitting milk is very common and generally decreases after 3 months.

Reflux happens because the muscular valve at the end of newborn baby's food pipe, which keeps food in his tummy, needs to grow a bit stronger.

When newborn baby's tummy is full of milk, milk and acid can come back up in small amounts.

What to do ?

Keep a soft bib on your newborn baby, and be sure to always have a cloth to protect your clothes.

Pay attention to the points, 1, avoid baby to eat too fast; 2, stop the milk in the middle, burp in between 3, after the spit milk should pay attention to clean and wipe immediately.

新生宝宝吐奶的现象非常普遍，3个月后一般会减少。

因为新生儿的胃很小，且呈水平位，从正面看是横躺着的，连接食管处的贲门较宽，关闭作用相比成人差，而连接小肠处的幽门又比较紧，不利通气。

给宝宝保持一个柔软的口水巾，并用一块布来保护你的衣服。

喂养宝宝时注意： 1，避免宝宝吃得太快; 2，停在中间的牛奶，在3之间打嗝，吐奶后要注意清洁并立即擦拭。

5. Don't kiss the baby

It is most direct to express love with a kiss. But it is harmful! Never allow others to kiss baby especially their mouth as we never know what would be their health.

看到可爱的宝贝，用吻来表达爱是最直接的。但却是有害的! 所以，一定要学会帮孩子拒绝别人的亲吻，因为我们不知道对方的健康状况。

另外，大人患有疾病时也不要亲吻宝宝，平时亲吻也不要嘴对嘴。
