The amount of milk has decreased.
This month, most babies have more milk than before, but some babies with big milk will suddenly decrease a lot. If the baby is energetic and normal, don't worry. This may be because there was too much milk a while ago, which led to a temporary loss of appetite. After a period of rest, the baby will recover
Special instructions:
1. If the amount of milk decreases and the baby is still listless and sleepy, he should be sent to the hospital immediately.
When the baby doesn't want to eat, adults should never force it. It doesn't matter if you eat less or even get hungry.
suck one's fingers
This habit is a headache for many parents. In desperation, some parents will smear Chili sauce or other foods with bad smell on their baby's fingers. It is cruel and ineffective to force the baby to stop sucking his fingers with strong stimulation.
Countermeasures: As long as you keep your baby's fingers clean and always pay attention to pruning his nails, you don't have to care too much, remind and forbid them, and it will be fine after a while.
external auditory canal furuncle swollen
The human external auditory canal is rich in hair follicles and glands. Once the skin is damaged, infection and boils are easy to occur after infection. Furuncle of external auditory canal is very painful. Because babies can't tell, they often have symptoms such as crying violently, refusing to drink milk, not sleeping hard, and crying easily.
note:
1. Keep the external auditory canal clean, and do not use hairpins, matchsticks, etc. Give the baby "earwax";
2. When washing your face and hair, you can put sterile cotton balls into ear holes to prevent water from pouring into your ears; In case of water in the ear, apply sterile cotton and gently roll it into the ear.
3. Once the baby has ear canal infection or eczema, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
thrush
When the baby's oral mucosa and tongue surface appear white objects like solidified milk lumps, which are not easy to wipe off with cotton swabs, it may suffer from "thrush". Thrush is caused by oral mucosa infected by Candida albicans. A baby with thrush has no discomfort when the symptoms are mild; In severe cases, there may be phenomena such as refusing milk and crying during breastfeeding.
Countermeasures:
1. lactating mothers should change their underwear frequently and wash their nipples with warm water before breastfeeding;
2. Artificial baby bottles, nipples and other baby utensils must be thoroughly cleaned before boiling and disinfection;
3. Don't give your baby antibiotics without the doctor's consent;
4. Once you suspect that your baby has thrush, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis in time.
"cradle cap"
Some babies will have brown spots with scabs on their heads, commonly known as "cradle hats", especially in winter. Sometimes it can spread to the child's face, body or diaper area, resulting in a red scale rash. This rash looks rough and ugly, but it won't bring pain to the baby.
Countermeasures:
1. The gauze can be soaked in baby lotion or sterilized refined edible oil, and the parts with plaques will be wetted, completely softened after several hours, and then cleaned;
2. If it is not cleaned at one time, the above method can be used for several days.
Three-month-old baby adoptive parents often make mistakes.
Add egg yolk for 3 months.
Egg yolk contains vitamins (A, D) and trace elements such as copper and iron, which are urgently needed and easily absorbed by infants, but egg white and film do not contain allergens. Therefore, feeding egg yolk can not only ensure the nutritional needs of infants, but also prevent allergic diseases such as eczema and urticaria.
However, 3-month-old babies should not add egg yolk, so wait patiently until the fourth month.
"Sleeping on your back will affect your intelligence."
The baby's head and skull are soft, and sleeping posture may affect the head shape. Letting children sleep in a certain posture for a long time will lead to a tendency to lie flat, which may have a certain impact on the volume development of the brain, but it cannot be considered that "sleeping with the back of the head flat will affect intelligence."
