Newborn baby care, four taboos to remember

When caring for a newborn baby, since the baby is very susceptible to illness due to various factors, parents should pay more attention to the following four taboos.

Avoid using plastic film as baby diapers

Plastic film is not breathable. Using it to wrap a baby will directly affect the normal development of its skin, and its functions such as excreting waste, secreting sweat, regulating body temperature, and exhaling carbon dioxide will be hindered. Moreover, the film will age over time, causing redness and pain on the baby's skin. Once bacteria invade, infection and ulceration will occur, which can also cause sepsis and endanger life.

Avoid pinching baby's face

Many parents pinch their children's mouths with their hands when feeding them medicine because the children don't want to take it; sometimes parents also like to pinch the babies' faces when playing with them. This is wrong. Repeated squeezing of the parotid glands and parotid ducts of infants and young children can cause drooling, oral mucosal inflammation and other diseases. Therefore, avoid pinching the faces of infants and young children.

Avoid letting babies sleep between adults

Many young parents like to put their babies in the middle when they sleep, but in fact, this is not good for the child's health. In the human body. The brain tissue consumes a lot of oxygen. Generally speaking, the younger the child, the greater the proportion of brain oxygen consumption to total body oxygen consumption. The child sleeps between his parents. This will place them in an environment with extreme lack of oxygen and very high carbon dioxide content, causing infants and young children to have unstable sleep, nightmares, and cry in the middle of the night, directly hindering the child's normal growth and development.

Avoid using detergent to wash baby clothes

The main ingredient of laundry detergent is sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate. After this substance enters the human body, it has a strong inhibitory effect on the activity of amylase and pepsin in the human body. It is easy to cause human poisoning if not washed thoroughly. It will cause harm to the baby. Therefore, do not use laundry detergent to wash baby clothes.
