The moment a baby was born is the moment that parents look forward to the most. However, it is from this moment that parents will have more responsibility. The first month after giving birth will be the most important period for both mother and baby. The mother learns to take care of the child, the baby learns to adapt to the outside environment. Therefore, the following article from Babies Organic will help mothers know how to take care of under 1 month babies.

How should babies under 1 month of age be cared for?

Nutrition for babies

Breast milk is the best food for the health and development of babies. If you have enough milk, breastfeed your baby until the baby is 1 year old. Normally, to have an abundant milk supply, mothers should eat many meals and full of nutrients.

Newborn reflexes such as regurgitation, vomiting or choking are extremely dangerous. In addition, parents need to learn how to hold the baby upright for a few minutes and pat the baby’s back after feeding; During sleeping, children should be placed with their heads slightly higher or on their sides to reduce the risk of aspiration. You do not let infants less than a month sleep on their stomachs.

Common diseases in babies

• Physiological jaundice

Physiological jaundice usually occurs a few days after birth, divide into 2 types: physiological jaundice and pathological jaundice. You need to observe the baby’s skin color every morning to detect the level in the first 2 weeks. If the baby still eats and sleeps well, it may be physiological jaundice. If the jaundice gradually increases, the baby sucks poorly, it is difficult to wake up, the child must be taken to the hospital for examination.

• Milk acne

Milk acne is very common in newborns, due to the influence of maternal hormones or sebaceous gland hypertrophy syndrome. Milk acne grows more on the cheeks, forehead, chin, back, and the red surrounding skin. These lumps are harmless and do not leave scars, as long as the mother keeps them clean, they will go away on their own. However, the milk acne does not stop after 3-4 months, then you need to take it to the hospital right away

• Seborrheic dermatitis

Hearing the name of the disease can be very dangerous, but grandparents often call it “buffalo poop”, manifested by greasy, sticky scales, concentrated on the top of the head or buttocks, common with children in 2 weeks of age. You just need to wash your baby’s hair every time he takes a bath, you can add baby mineral oil. These scabs will disappear on their own after 8-12 months

Keep your baby warm and safe

Cause temperature of a child’s body will be higher than an adult’s, it is essential to measure the child’s temperature daily. The health of newborns is very sensitive, so prepare a thermometer to measure body temperature whenever your baby is warm or cold. The normal temperature of a newborn is between 36.5 and 37 degrees

If the temperature is higher than 37.5 degrees Celsius, the child should wear loose, well-ventilated clothes and remove blankets, breastfeed more;

If the temperature is higher than 38 degrees Celsius, it means that the child has a fever, cooling and reducing the fever does not work, then take the child to the doctor for examination and treatment immediately.

Note: When taking care of an under 1 month infant, parents must definitely remember that the infant’s body is very weak. The resistance is poor, so it is absolutely forbidden for others to hug or kiss the baby’s mouth. This will increase the risk of infection and harmful germs entering and causing illness for children
