Baby care is important
In the first month of the baby’s birth, the first thing to pay attention to in baby care is the hepatitis B vaccine.
This is to prevent hepatitis B. You must know that if infected with hepatitis B virus, it is very likely to develop liver cirrhosis. Even a mother who is infected with the virus may have a 40% chance of directly infecting the virus to her child. Therefore, hepatitis B vaccine must be vaccinated. This measure can effectively control the spread of hepatitis B, especially mother-to-child transmission. What needs to be reminded is that babies usually have no special reactions after vaccination.
The second thing you need to pay attention to in baby care is BCG injection.
This vaccine can effectively enhance the resistance to tuberculosis. Some hospitals will take the initiative to vaccinate the baby 24 hours after the baby is born. Of course, not all babies can be vaccinated successfully. It depends on the baby’s own condition and whether the vaccine can produce antibodies in the body. Of course, this only needs parents to cooperate with the hospital.
After these two vaccines are vaccinated, it is not done once and for all. For example, BCG vaccine, the immunity of this drug will decrease as the live bacteria gradually decrease in the human body. Therefore, after the initial vaccination, it is necessary to have a second injection in the first grade of elementary school or junior high school, which is more effective. The above are the two vaccines that newborns must have.
As a novice parent, in addition to paying attention to vaccines, you should not take care of your baby care. For example, good eye care is a compulsory course for parents. Newborns have more eye secretions, so pay attention to eye care for them after returning home.
Parents can use 0.25% chloramphenicol eye drops twice a day to achieve the preventive effect. When bathing the babies, they must also pay attention not to pour sewage into the baby’s ears.
The skin of newborns is tender, and virus infection may cause some diseases in the ears. Therefore, parents should not be careless in nursing care. In addition, many parents use coarse cloth to wipe the baby’s gums, which is also a very unprofessional practice.
The correct posture is to gently wipe the baby with a cotton cloth or a special baby oral cleaning cotton, because the baby’s gums are light yellow. If the parents wipe the baby’s teeth too hard, it will damage their gum structure. In severe cases, the baby may even develop oral ulcers.
Taking care of newborn babies is not as simple as it is said, and of course there are not too many complicated operations. It is enough for parents to do a good job in baby care and greet their children with a healthy mind every day.
