Newborn Baby Care


By Pregnancy and Parent at 2010-03-05 06:09:22
The genitals of a baby girl must be kept clean. It is not necessary to wash inside the lips of the vulva during the first week after birth, but the parent should thereafter from time to time wipe the genitals from the front toward the anus with a cotton swab dipped in warm water or baby oil. It is important to do this. Any stool or vaginal discharge left on the skin, which can even happen after a bath, can cause a vaginal infection or urinary tract infection if it is not cleaned away.

A newborn baby is unable to control body heat as efficiently as an older child. External changes in temperature can vary a baby's body temperature considerably. Unless a baby is kept adequately warm, he or she could suffer from hypothermia. This does not mean that the parents must constantly check the baby's temperature with a thermometer, but they must be aware of potentially dangerous situations.

From the start, newborns will need to nurse for no less than 15 minutes, 8 times per day during the first week of life. Listen and you should hear the baby swallowing milk. Baby's first bowel movement will be a black paste called muconium. This will transition from a black-green color to a brown doughey consistency. By the fourth or fifth day, this will appear yellow. Wet diapers will appear by the second day. By the end of this week, the frequency of wet diapers will increase to 2 or 3 per day.

Expecting a child is one of the most wondrous times for a couple, especially if the child is their first-born. But it could also be quite a challenge to the couple considering the various things they have to consider and prepare before labor or birth. Child experts and even OB Gynecologists will tell the expectant couple to prepare a few things a month or so before the projected birth date. Also, welcoming a new addition to the family should be put to consideration in order to build a harmonious relationship with all the members of the family.

Diapers are the only form of clothing that need to be bought in quantity. Babies grow quickly in the first months, and their needs constantly change. When shopping for the layette, keep the following in mind: (1) clothing should have growing space; (2) garments should be easy to launder; (3) all items should be safe and comfortable for the baby to wear or use; and (4) garments should be simple enough to take a minimum of time to dress and undress the infant.

Constipation in general is a severe or persistent condition wherein bowel movements happen less frequent than what is normal. It consists of dry and hard stools, which are difficult or painful to pass. Even though constipation is a common term, with typical patterns of bowel movements, they do vary widely from a person to another person. In general, adults who hasn’t defecated in 3 days or children who hasn’t pooped in 4 days are considered constipated. Babies, on the other hand, who are exclusively on a breast milk diet, can go 7 days without having the need to poop.
