How should a baby born in winter keep out the cold in the second month?

In the cold winter, many mothers have welcomed their babies. How to scientifically care for newborns in winter and make them spend the winter healthily has become the most concerned issue for mothers. Learn Bian Xiao today ~

Six points that newborns must know to keep warm in winter:

1. The suitable indoor temperature should be kept at 25℃ ~ 28℃

@ Cute D Panda Kai: Two days ago, my wife gave birth to a boy. The hospital says she can leave the hospital tomorrow. It is very cold in winter. I'm really worried that the baby will catch a cold if he doesn't take good care of it at home. I heard that the room temperature is too high or too low, which will be bad for the newborn baby. Is it true?/You don't say. In winter, what is the better indoor temperature control range for newborn babies?

A: Newborns are somewhat uncomfortable with the change of external temperature difference. The suitable indoor temperature should be kept at 25℃ ~ 28℃, and it is necessary to keep warm in winter. Dad Bao should pay attention to having a heater around him when ventilating. But indoor light should not be too dark or too bright. Some parents think that newborns are less sensitive to light and are afraid of irritating their eyes. They often like to hang heavy curtains. In fact, this is not appropriate. Babies should learn to adapt to natural indoor light and avoid direct sunlight.

2. You can touch the baby's forehead or back to judge the warmth of the newborn.

@ Xixi: My baby was born 15 days ago. Winter is so cold, I always worry about whether the baby is warm enough, but I don't know where to judge. I would like to ask Dora from what aspects to judge the warmth of newborns in winter?

A: You can touch your baby's forehead or back. It will sweat if it is hot, and it will be very cold if it is cold. Pay more attention at night to prevent colds. Babies are delicate, and mothers are always afraid of wearing too few clothes for their babies. Many babies are wrapped in layers of clothes and covered with thick bedding, and their faces are red. Add and subtract clothes for your baby according to the temperature change. Generally speaking, it is enough for a baby to wear one more than an adult. Judge whether the baby is cold or hot. First, feel whether his palm is warm. Second, feel whether his neck is warm. Then feel his vest for sweating. Usually a little less than we adults is enough.

3. Maintain 50% humidity in winter, and regularly open windows for ventilation.

The greatness of missing: the winter wind is chilly. I have given birth to a baby for 8 days. I haven't opened the window since I got home. My mother-in-law said that the baby can't be blown by the wind when she is confined to the moon, but my friend said that opening the window and ventilation is good for the growth and development of the newborn. Should windows be opened indoors in winter? What should I pay attention to?

A: Dry winter, high indoor temperature and low humidity are not good for neonatal respiratory mucosa function and ciliary function. The humidity should be kept at about 50% to increase the indoor humidity. At present, humidifiers are widely used, but using steam to improve indoor humidity will also increase the chance of neonatal respiratory tract infection. Distilled water can be used in Ma Bao. Even in winter, open the window regularly and change the indoor air. Families who use air conditioners should also open windows regularly, and cannot rely solely on air conditioners for ventilation. The growth of newborns in turbid environment is not conducive to growth and development.

4. Excessive warmth of newborns is easy to induce heat syndrome.

@ I love the baby: It's getting colder in winter, and the clothes for the baby are getting thicker and thicker. I'm afraid it will burn the baby. What diseases can the baby cause if he keeps warm too much?

Answer: The quilt cover syndrome, also known as the quilt cover syndrome, is a common emergency in winter, which causes hypoxia, high fever, sweating, dehydration, convulsion, coma and even respiratory and circulatory failure due to excessive warmth and covering for a long time. The peak period is 165438+ 10 to April of the following year. /kloc-infants under 0/year old, especially newborns, are most likely to induce this disease if they do not pay attention to scientific nursing.

Too warm baby packaging often leads to high fever, sweating, hypertonic dehydration, electrolyte disorder, circulatory failure and respiratory failure, leading to convulsions or coma due to lack of oxygen. If the rescue is not timely, it can quickly go into shock and even die. Children who are lucky enough to survive will also leave behind serious brain injury sequelae such as mental retardation, dyskinesia, stupidity, deafness and epilepsy.

Newborns can use sleeping bags in winter.

@ Angels and Demons: Do newborns use sleeping bags in winter? Sleep at night and worry about freezing the baby. Can I use a sleeping bag for my baby? It's been 15 days.

You can use a sleeping bag. Under normal circumstances, during the period from 0 to 8 months, the baby will not turn over, but his feet will push the quilt. When sleeping, his hands will be raised, his legs and knees will bend outward, and he needs to change diapers frequently. When you sleep, your hands and feet wave up and down, and your feet paddle like frogs, which makes it easy to push the quilt away. If you limit your hands and feet, you will wake up and cry, which will affect your baby's sleep. So choose a loose sleeping bag and don't give your baby a sense of bondage.

6. It is not recommended for newborns to use warm babies for heating.

@ Mommy's Beibei: Can a baby who has just reached the full moon warm the baby in winter? The air conditioner has been broken for two days and has not been repaired yet. I'm afraid the baby will freeze to death. How about warming the baby?

A: The reaction principle of warm baby is to use primary battery to accelerate oxidation reaction and convert chemical energy into heat energy. In order to make the temperature last longer, the product uses mineral material vermiculite to keep warm. For the baby, because it contains chemical components, and the skin is tender and the activity is not large, it is best not to use it to prevent cryogenic burns.

Three points for attention in neonatal feeding in winter

1. Precautions for breastfeeding of newborns in winter

@ Love Task: There is still one week before the due date. Everyone says breastfeeding is good. Some people say that mommy's colostrum is very important for newborn babies. Some people say that newborn babies cannot drink colostrum. Which of these two statements is correct? What should I pay attention to when breastfeeding my baby in winter?

A: Winter is a frequent period of respiratory infections and other diseases. Antibodies contained in breast milk can help babies reduce the possibility of getting sick. Conditional mothers must insist on breastfeeding their babies. Put on two clothes for your baby. If your hands and feet are not cold, you don't have to worry about catching cold. Mom can also hold the baby in her arms and feed it directly. When breastfeeding, the mother's body temperature is easy to drop, which is easy to cause a cold.

Therefore, even in an air-conditioned room, you should wrap the exposed parts of your body with a blanket. Ensure the health of the mother, so as not to affect the health of the baby. If breastfeeding at night, it is better to put an electric heater beside the mother and baby for small-scale heating instead of turning on the heater in the whole room. Wrap the baby in clothes or blankets to avoid direct contact with hot air from the heater.

2. The baby's leftover milk powder can't be left to the next meal.

@ still BB: My baby 18 days. Because the wife's milk is insufficient, the baby chose artificial feeding after birth. It's cold in winter now, and it's easier to catch a cold after mixing milk powder. The remaining milk will be heated again for the baby to drink. Is this scientific? I always feel that repeated heating will lose nutrition.

Answer: The prepared milk powder should not be stored in the refrigerator for more than 24 hours and at room temperature for more than 2 hours when it is not eaten. If you have finished eating, you should throw it away, and you can't leave it for your baby's next meal. Because milk comes into contact with saliva, bacteria begin to breed after half an hour.

3. How to judge whether the newborn should drink water?

@ Dear, where is it? Winter is very dry. Does the newborn baby need to drink boiled water when breastfeeding? How does the baby know whether he wants to drink water or milk when he is crying?

Answer: To judge whether the baby needs to drink water or milk when crying, try using the nipple first, and then change the water head, or vice versa. Secondly, you can also judge whether to feed water from your baby's urine. Generally, urine is less or a little yellow, which means that it is relatively short of water; Finally, you can also judge by the baby's physical appearance: for example, the front fontanel is sunken, the eyeball is sunken, the lips are dry, the hands are dry, and the skin tension drops (the skin on the inner thigh is wrinkled or the skin is easy to pull up), so you can find that the baby is not hydrated enough. This is a subjective judgment, because everyone's standards are different.

In addition, parents should also know that the baby is obviously dehydrated: the baby has mental confusion, inattention, cold limbs, lethargy, rapid heartbeat or shortness of breath, indicating that obvious dehydration has occurred and should be treated in time. In the neonatal stage, due to reasons such as open arterial catheter, crying for a long time, rapid body surface heat dissipation and physiological dehydration, the baby's water loss increases. Therefore, in the first week of life, there is more demand for water.

Three Points for Attention in Preventing Neonatal Diseases in Winter

1. Let relatives and friends visit scientifically to avoid cross infection.

@ 京京京京京京京京 BB: My baby is 20 days old, and many relatives and friends come to visit. Recently, I learned that cross-infection is easy in winter, and the resistance of newborn babies is so low. However, relatives and friends are embarrassed not to let them look after the baby, fearing that the baby will be infected with bacteria and get sick. Excuse me, doctor, how to care for the baby to avoid cross-infection and let relatives and friends see the baby?

A: In order to avoid too many people visiting at the same time or guests staying too long, it is necessary to make a visit schedule. Don't receive too many relatives at the same time. In addition, except for the closest relatives, it is best to wait a week or two or even a month for others to visit. When the guest shows the action of holding the baby, the new mother can carry out the doctor's advice as a shield, and the guest may not be angry or understand. If you are sure you want to hold the baby, please ask someone to wash your hands first.

2. Whether the newborn is sick or not can be judged by breastfeeding and crying.

@ Miss Sister's article: How to judge whether a newborn is sick in daily life? Some people on the internet say that they feel the baby is short of breath. Count the baby's breath. If it's more than 60 times a minute, it's time to take the baby to the hospital. Is there any basis for this statement?

A: Neonatal symptoms are often atypical and easily overlooked. Usually, mothers and their families can judge whether a newborn is sick by observing its face, crying, nursing, defecation and mental state. Among them, breastfeeding and crying are the most important. Newborns eat less milk, can't suck, and refuse to eat milk, which may be the early manifestations of the disease.

Pay attention to distinguish the crying of newborns. Newborns cry normally, with a loud and powerful voice, and stretch their limbs while crying, which is usually caused by hunger. After drinking enough milk, they stopped crying and fell asleep peacefully. If the newborn's eyes are straight when crying, crying suddenly, short, impatient, or screaming loudly, it is often a manifestation of brain disease, and it is necessary to see a doctor as soon as possible.

3. Prevention of neonatal scleredema in winter is more important than treatment.

@ 囎囎囎: My baby is premature. It's so cold in winter now. It is said that newborn babies are prone to scleredema if the temperature outside is low. If there are complications, the consequences will be serious. I'm worried. What are the symptoms of scleredema? From what aspects can we prevent scleredema of newborn babies?

A: scleredema is more common in cold seasons, and there is often a history of low ambient temperature or improper warmth. Babies with this disease will show no eating, no crying, low reaction, no temperature rise, and even a temperature lower than 30℃. Scleroderma first occurs in the buttocks and face of the lower limbs, and then spreads to the whole body. The skin color is flush like cooked shrimp or light gray and cyanosis. Severe children will have a slow heart rate and dull heart sounds. It is often accompanied by multiple organ dysfunction, such as microcirculation disturbance, shock, cardiac insufficiency, DIC and renal failure, and pulmonary hemorrhage is the most common cause of death.

Prevention is more important than cure. ① Do a good job in perinatal care, strengthen prenatal examination, and reduce the occurrence of premature infants. ② Delivery rooms in cold seasons and areas should be equipped with warm-keeping equipment. Once the newborn is delivered, it should be wrapped in a warm towel and placed in a warm bed for treatment. ④ Do a good job in monitoring the temperature of high-risk infants. ⑤ Early active treatment of neonatal infectious diseases to prevent scleredema.
