Life rhythm of newborns: sleep time, breast-feeding amount and milk amount, times of defecation, etc. , are the focus of parenting in this period.
Newborns spend most of the day in sleep, day and night. Every 2 ~ 3 hours, I will wake up and want to eat milk. When I am full, I will fall asleep again. Because most of them are shallow sleep, sometimes they wake up suddenly because of loud or slight stimulation, and then go back to sleep. I was awake when I was crying, and I was in a daze the rest of the time. This is the gradual self-adjustment of the newborn to adapt to the changes in the external environment after being born from a warm and quiet mother.
● Time and amount of breastfeeding for newborns: breastfeeding on demand anytime, anywhere.
Breastfeeding during this period is once every 2 to 3 hours. Breastfeeding time is about 20 minutes each time, 1 day is about 8 ~ 10 times. At first, there will be little breast milk, and newborns will not suck well, so the interval and time are different. It often happens that "I cried as soon as I finished drinking" and "I stopped eating after drinking a little". In newborn feeding, the principle is that you can breastfeed at any time. If the child wants to feed, feed.
What are the benefits of breastfeeding? How to supplement it when it is insufficient?
Breast milk is balanced in nutrition and contains immune substances from mothers, which is the best nutritional food for newborns. When the child wants to feed, he should feed immediately, and don't keep him waiting. Moreover, the mother's breasts are constantly stimulated by newborns, and the amount of breast milk will become sufficient, which is also very beneficial to the mother's postpartum recovery. When breast milk is insufficient, milk powder must be added to supplement it. You need to let your baby breastfeed first, and then add milk powder to supplement it. When a mother breastfeeds her child in a relaxed mood, she will get enough milk. As the baby's sucking ability increases, the interval of breastfeeding will gradually lengthen.
For newborn babies, breast milk is the best "nutrition". The amount of breast milk varies from person to person, but the mother's good attitude will affect the amount of breast milk.
● Newborns urinate and defecate less and more often every day.
Neonates have less and frequent urination and defecation. About 15 ~ 20 times a day, the stool is mushy, some children have stool every time they breastfeed, and some children only defecate 2 ~ 3 times a day. Qin Ying changed the diaper, which can prevent diaper rash on her buttocks due to sultry heat.
The newborn's vision is blurred.
Newborns' eyesight is very poor, and they can only see black, white and red things in front of them. For something about 30cm, it is also faintly visible, and you will not track moving things with your eyes.
Newborn babies can't see clearly, but their hearing is very developed and sensitive.
The newborn's hearing is quite developed.
Babies can hear voices clearly at birth. Loud voices will make him panic and respond well to the voices of people around him, such as mom and dad.
Inherent "primitive reflection"
Newborns don't exercise spontaneously, but they walk from time to time, which is spontaneous and unconscious. For external stimuli, it can produce reflex activities unrelated to the will.
Two pieces of advice for mothers,
● Precautions for neonatal bathing
Mom and dad can bathe the newborn at any time. But don't do it right after breastfeeding. It should be completed in 30 minutes to 1 hour. The room should be warm, the bath time should be about 10 minute, and the hot water temperature should be about 38 ~ 40 degrees. Prepare the wrapped quilt clothes in advance so that you can change diapers and get dressed immediately after you come out.
● Have a good rest after delivery and enjoy the life with the doll.
Because my mother has just given birth to a child, she will be very tired physically and mentally, and sometimes she will be irritable and anxious every 2 to 3 hours. Mothers can take a nap with their children, try to let their fathers do housework, and the most important thing is to restore their children's normal health. Parents work together to provide a good parenting environment for their children, arrange the life rhythm of newborns, and enjoy a happy life with their babies.
