Comprehensive introduction to baby care expertise
Parenting is a skill that every mother must master. In order for her child to grow up healthily, she needs comprehensive professional knowledge. In this article, we will provide mothers with comprehensive parenting knowledge from multiple aspects such as feeding, safety, touch, and baby health to help them become excellent mothers.
Feeding
Most babies\’ birth weight is between 6-9 pounds. Newborns need to eat 8-12 times a day, 4-6 ounces of milk each time (i.e. 120-180 ml). Newborns need 20-30 minutes of feeding time if breastfed, and 30-40 minutes if artificially fed. Breastfeeding is the best option and has many benefits, such as fighting infections and improving your child\’s intelligence. However, for some mothers who do not have enough milk, artificial feeding is necessary.
Mothers should master feeding skills, such as whether the baby is full. Active shaking of the head or pushing the tongue out of the lips are signals that the baby is full. At the same time, attention should also be paid to feeding the baby in the correct posture, with the head supported and the body in a semi-lying position to ensure that milk does not enter the respiratory tract and cause suffocation and other accidents.
Security
Mothers should always pay attention to the safety of their babies and avoid accidents. First, position your baby in the correct sleeping position when sleeping to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. At the same time, too many toys and pillows should not be placed on the baby\’s bed to avoid suffocation. Be careful with hot water when taking a bath. Check the water temperature before using the bathtub to avoid splashing hot water on the baby. When going out, you need to purchase a professional safety seat to provide sufficient support to prevent the baby from being hit by the vehicle while driving.
Touch
Mothers need to give their babies plenty of touch to enhance their immunity and emotional connection. When touching, give the baby a stable feeling to make the baby feel safe. When changing diapers, mothers can gently pat the baby\’s legs or belly to help the baby relax. During feeding, the mother can hold the baby in her arms and let the baby feel the mother\’s caress.
Baby Health
Baby\’s health issues are of great concern to every mother. Babies should have their hearing and vision checked as soon as possible after birth, and receive vaccinations to prevent infectious diseases. At the same time, in daily life, pay attention to the baby\’s oral hygiene and bathe the baby regularly to keep the skin clean. If you find that the baby has abnormal symptoms such as fever, anorexia, diarrhea, etc., you should take the baby to the hospital for examination to ensure that the baby is healthy.
In short, mothers must master comprehensive knowledge about child care, so that their children can grow up healthily and become excellent mothers. The above only provides some aspects of infant care knowledge. There are many details that mothers need to learn and understand on their own. Only in this way can we truly help their children grow up healthily.
