1.Healthy body needs air, sunlight and water
①, anywhere and anytime “air bath”
The so-called “air bath” is the use of the difference between the temperature and the surface temperature of the human skin, forming a stimulus to accelerate blood circulation in the skin, promote metabolism, improve the baby’s adaptability to environmental changes, enhance the body’s ability to resist external factors, can prevent colds and reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases. In fact, the “air bath” does not have to be deliberately carried out, the focus is on the attitude of parents to take care of their children, should believe in the child’s resistance, excessive, “no care” is not good for children.
Tip: As the saying goes: “If you want your child to be safe, you need to have three parts of hunger and cold”, children should not be covered too tightly from childhood, otherwise, they will catch a cold if they are not careful! The most vulnerable part of the child is the abdomen, the Chinese traditional “bib” or justified, the child sleeps wearing one, chest and abdomen are protected, and can achieve the purpose of air exercise.
②, “sunbathing” according to local conditions
The so-called “sunbathing” is the use of ultraviolet and infrared rays in the sun to promote the growth and development of infants, is a further physical exercise method after the adaptation of the air bath. It can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, prevent and treat rickets, and enhance immunity. “Sunbathing” should be adapted to local conditions, not only to see the daylight, but also to prevent burns. Sunbathing does not have to be direct sunlight, but can be flexible according to local conditions. In principle: gradually, gradually extend the time, generally no more than half an hour; choose the right time: avoid ultraviolet light is too strong time, fasting or within an hour after the meal should not be carried out; choose the right place: choose clean, flat, dry, green, good air circulation but avoid strong wind, when the light is strong, the shade of trees or under the umbrella can also be; pay attention to protection, close observation.
③, create conditions to do “water bath”
Water bath exercise is the use of the body surface and the temperature difference between the water to exercise the body, this method is easier to control the intensity, give full play to the individual characteristics of infants, can be carried out throughout the year. Can strengthen resistance, prevent recurrent respiratory infections, enhance the skin’s ability to adapt to the cold environment. This is the great people respected fitness way ah! For healthy babies, the water temperature below 20 ℃ can cause the feeling of cold; 20-30 ℃ for cool; 32-40 ℃ is warm; more than 40 ℃ is hot, water bath can be gradually transition from warm water to cold water, do not be too hasty, so as not to get cold and sick.
2, to pay attention to the baby’s psychological needs
People with children know that a child from the croak to the basic self-sustaining, the process is how difficult, especially in the infant stage (before 3 years old), the mother often need to take care of the baby day and night, very hard. So some people say “children only know how to eat and sleep”, “do not often hold the child, hold the habit of the child can not be put down”, “children cry is a kind of movement, do not care about him”. “The baby is taken care of by the sister-in-law and the mother is the same, not hungry on the line”. These statements seem to have some truth, the starting point is “baby does not know anything”, in fact, infancy and early childhood is a critical period for the development of a variety of psychological and behavioral qualities, this period children are particularly sensitive to all things, very susceptible to the impact of external stimuli, if this period to strengthen education in a timely manner, will receive the best results. It will have a great impact on their development throughout their lives.
Tip: Infancy and early childhood is a critical period for the development of a variety of psychological and behavioral qualities, this period of children are particularly sensitive to all things, very susceptible to the influence of external stimuli, if this period in time to strengthen education, will receive the best results, their lifelong development plays a very significant impact.
The focus of attention for babies of different ages should be
Infancy (under one year old): The warmth of maternal love is the primary factor, such as nursing, smiling face of the mother when breastfeeding, caressing actions, and kind words, which not only provide material nutrition for the baby but also nurture mental health. In addition to the mother, family members, nursery caregivers, etc., also give the infant motherly care and attention, making the infant happy and trustful of the surrounding characters; conversely, the infant becomes sluggish, timid and fearful. Early childhood (1-3 years old): It is a critical stage of language development. In addition to the mother, other families and caregivers should communicate more with the infant about language to prevent stuttering, and this period is a critical time. Answer the questions asked or meet reasonable requests should be kind and patient, and follow the instructions, so that children live in a relaxed, pleasant and friendly environment, which is very important for the normal development of language, thinking, imagination and character.
Preschool period: It is a critical stage for the formation of children’s character. During this period children’s brain excitement process is dominant, talkative and impulsive. Children in this period should be more encouraged, mainly positive inspiration education, encounter problems, more reasoning, less scolding. In learning and playing activities, we should pay attention to discovering children’s interests and teach them according to each individual, not forcing them to learn multiple contents together. Preschoolers begin to form character, the relationship between family members and parents to take the cultivation method, can make children form different character traits, such as family harmony, a cordial atmosphere, education is reasonable is easy to guide children to form self-improvement, lively and cheerful character; on the contrary, children are often reprimanded, scolded is easy to form a worrying, disobedient character.
3, the misconceptions of raising babies
Form 1: special treatment
As the “little emperor”, the status of the child in the family is naturally superior, special care everywhere, all kinds of priority to enjoy, eat “only food”, good food, one to enjoy; do “only child “, grandpa, grandma can not birthday, children’s birthday but call friends, lively and grand. I remember hearing a story when I was a child: there is a widow, a person who has worked hard to raise her son, the family has no money, occasionally eat fish, she is to eat the head of the fish, the fish left for her son to eat, but also told her son that he likes to eat the head of the fish. When the son grew up and became an adult, every time he ate fish, he had to leave the head of the fish to his poor mother. The neighbors looked angry, but he perked up and said, “My mom just likes to eat fish heads!” Sad, isn’t it? It is the “special treatment” from childhood, so that children feel special, accustomed to the superior, inevitably become selfish and self-serving, will not care about others.
Form 2: Excessive attention
Children are the pride of their parents, the family is always concerned about him, accompany him, seems to be no excuse. During the New Year’s holidays, relatives and friends came, children often become the focus, teasing children recite Tang poetry, acting shows, applause, parents are satisfied, children are also excited, “people crazy” appeared. But once the parents are a little inattentive, the child will feel left out, so, spilling and crying, rolling all over the floor, the more coaxing and crying the louder, the more persuasive “flood” the more violent, and finally parents “irritated”, to a full-scale martial arts, or useless, embarrassing the hosts and guests.
Tip: parents face the child’s rogue behavior how to do? “Cool” ah! Children often have a rebellious mentality, excessive attention, often counterproductive, why not a cold treatment (if the child continues to play scoundrel, parents can take “cold three minutes” approach. These three minutes do not look, do not say).
Form 3: Easy to meet
Give the child what he or she wants. If you don’t give it, cry and make a fuss, you will naturally give it. Some parents also give toddlers and elementary school students a lot of pocket money, the child’s satisfaction will be even easier. In the long run, the child will form a dependent heart, if there is a need, look for mommy and daddy! Asking mom and dad for anything is a matter of course! This kind of child will inevitably develop a “parasite” character that does not know how to cherish, greedy for enjoyment, good food and lazy, unable to suffer. Once the requirements are not met slightly, it will not be acceptable and easy to go to extremes.
Tips: the child’s requirements can not be met, to distinguish between right and wrong, reasonable requirements can be met; unreasonable requirements, can not be promised. Occasionally a little “frustration education” is still necessary! To let the baby understand that tears are not everything!
Form 4: Lazy life
Older people with children, prone to this tendency. Old people always want their children to eat well! Play well! As for learning, it takes a back seat. The child’s life is irregular and he or she does what he or she wants, sleeps in, doesn’t eat, wanders during the day, watches TV late at night and so on. Such children grow up lack of motivation, curiosity, do people to get by, to do things in the heart and mind, there is no end.
Tip: Education should not just talk but also make use of all occasions and opportunities to consciously and purposefully cultivate, discover children’s interests and guide them to develop good habits of active learning.
Form 5: Praying and begging
For example, coaxing while begging the child to eat and sleep, promising to tell the child three stories before finishing the meal. The psychology of the child is that the more you beg him, the more he will squirm and squirm. In the long run, the child will turn what should be done into a condition to “threaten” the parents, eating, sleeping, learning, etc. have become the parents’ demands, too passive! The prestige of education is also lost.
Tip: Appropriate use of “rewards and punishments” means to change passive to active, the original child is not so difficult to bring up!
Form 6: Substitution
As a result of coddling children, “in the hands of fear of falling, in the mouth fear of melting”, fear of falling, fear of touching, children from childhood lost the opportunity to exercise, most of China’s children, will walk, still can not crawl! Fear of children do not eat well, three or four-year-old children have to feed! Not to mention dressing, and even school-age children do not do any housework, is completely meal to open mouth, clothes to reach out. Only the child can not think, not parents can not do! This will certainly lead to the child’s “limbs are not diligent, the grain is not divided”! This is by no means sensational.
Tip: Mom and Dad are not the baby’s “hands” and “feet”, should be consciously cultivated from an early age of children’s life skills. If you fall down, get up by yourself! A child’s strong character is cultivated in the “fall”! This is something that Westerners do better!
Form 7: Making a fuss
Originally, “newborn calves are not afraid of tigers”, children are not afraid of water, not afraid of the dark, not afraid of falling, not afraid of illness. After a fall, they often get up without saying anything and continue to play. Later, why some children are timid and cry? That is often caused by parents and grandparents, the child has an illness when the performance of panic, the end result is that the child does not let the parents leave a step, from childhood, the brand of cowardice.
Tip: Children accidentally do the wrong thing, as long as the child understands the wrong is good, parents do not make a fuss, or even play on the issue, so as not to develop the child coy, timid and fearful cowardly character.
Form 8: In-your-face shield
Sometimes the father controls the child, the mother protects: “Do not be too strict, he is still small. Some parents teach their children, the grandmother will come forward to speak: “He will naturally be good when he grows up, when you are small, still far from him good!” Such a child is certainly “unteachable”! Because he has no concept of right and wrong, and always have “umbrella” and “refuge”, the consequences are not only the child’s personality distortion, and sometimes also cause family discord.
Tip: education children can not just scold, so children are prone to rebellion, should be a combination of leniency and severity, someone appropriate to sing a “white face”, and give the child a little reasoning, let him understand where the wrong, why will be criticized, the child is still very reasonable yo!
4, the newborn baby “abnormal” phenomenon
Baby just born 1-2 months, because just out of the mother’s environment, there will be a gradual process of adaptation, there will be many “abnormal” conditions. When young mothers and fathers encounter these situations, they are often overwhelmed and confused, fearing that something is wrong with the baby.
(1), newborn dehydration fever and physiological weight loss
The first few days after the birth of the baby due to less food, non-significant water loss and urine and stool discharge is relatively more, imbalance, there will be a physiological weight loss, with the increase in food, about 10 days after birth will be back to normal. Another result of the imbalance is the blood concentration, will make the newborn dehydration fever, do not pack too tight, feed some glucose water, will soon be fine.
(2), newborn peeling
Almost all newborns will have the phenomenon of peeling, whether it is a slight flake, or a snake-like peeling, as long as the baby’s diet, sleep are no problem is a normal phenomenon. This phenomenon of peeling skin may appear all over the body, but the limbs, behind the ears is more obvious, as long as the natural shedding in the bath, without special protective measures or forced peeling off the skin. If the skin peeling combined with other symptoms such as redness or blisters, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
(3).Erythema in newborns
Some newborns will have generalized redness of the skin within the first day after birth, accompanied by pinpoint-sized red spots. This may be caused by the cold and dry external environment and the influence of toxins. It lasts 1-2 days and then gradually fades and flakes appear, mostly on the soles and folds of the feet, and after the flakes are finished, the skin is pink.
(4), neonatal corn rash and physiological jaundice
Newborns often have pinpoint-sized yellow-white spots on the tip of the nose, nose and cheeks, caused by the accumulation of sebum, called corn rash, not pustules, which will disappear naturally after molting.
Newborns often have a slight yellowing of the skin and sclera 2-3 days after birth, which usually subsides in 7-14 days, i.e., physiological jaundice. It is generally good, self-limiting, does not require treatment and has a good prognosis. If it appears too early or manifests too heavily, it is pathological jaundice and should be treated.
(5), changes in respiratory rhythm
The newborn baby from the maternal oxygen supply to independent respiration, in a certain period of time often manifested as shallow and rapid breathing, rhythmic irregularities, sometimes about 10 seconds of “respiratory arrest”, and abdominal breathing is the main. 6 months later will be normal up. Therefore, when the baby sleeps, do not cover his nose; nostril blockage, should be promptly unblocked; abdomen do not wrap too tightly, so as not to affect breathing.
(6), sneezing
Occasional sneezing in newborns is not a cold phenomenon, because the newborn nasal blood is more vigorous, the nasal cavity is small and short, if the outside world of tiny substances such as lint, lint or dust into it will stimulate the nasal mucosa caused by sneezing, suddenly encounter cold air will also sneeze, unless the baby has runny nose, parents can not worry, also do not let the baby take cold medicine at every turn.
(7), squinting eyes
Newborn babies, due to the squeeze in the birth canal, so the eyelids will be a little puffy, usually 2-3 days will disappear. Generally speaking, the newborn’s early eyes are not yet fixed, looks a bit cross-eyed, and the eye muscles are poorly adjusted, often with transient strabismus, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If after 3 months, the baby still strabismus, should promptly take him to the hospital for consultation.
(8), horse teeth
Newborns often have small yellowish-white spots on the midline of the palate and gingival cutting edge, called epithelial beads, commonly known as “horse teeth” or “plate teeth”, caused by the accumulation of epithelial cells or mucus gland secretions. In a few weeks to a few months after birth disappears on its own, do not use a needle to pick or towel to wipe, to prevent infection.
(9) Enlarged mammary glands
Due to the influence of the mother’s late pregnancy estrogen on the fetus, newborns within 1 week of birth, regardless of boys and girls can appear swollen mammary glands, can have a bean to small quail egg-like size, but also visible areola color deepening and lactation. Breast enlargement does not subside on its own until the second to third week after birth. This is a natural phenomenon, do not squeeze yo!
(10), frequent hiccups
”Hiccups ……” baby hiccups again, does not sound a little “plug” ah? Don’t worry, in the months after birth, the diaphragm is not yet mature, sometimes because the baby is too excited, and sometimes because the baby has just fed, the baby is easy to hiccup. By 3-4 months of age, your baby will have fewer hiccups. Feed your baby some warm boiled water!
(11) Milk overflow
The newborn’s stomach is “horizontal” and has a small capacity, and the entrance sphincter of the stomach is not yet well developed and does not close tightly, which can easily cause milk to flow backwards in the stomach. Especially when changing diapers immediately after breastfeeding, crying or moving a lot, milk overflow will occur. Sometimes, when feeding milk or water with a bottle, the pacifier is not completely filled, resulting in the baby inhaling air, causing the stomach to expand and causing milk overflow. Overflow is a physiological phenomenon. Pay attention to breastfeeding techniques, gently pick up the baby after feeding, let his head rest on the mother’s shoulder and pat his back with your hand for 2-3 minutes. Try to change the diaper before feeding, don’t let the baby cry after feeding, and take the right side lying position can make the overflow of milk decrease.
(12), continuation of fetal posture
The fetus is curled in the womb, plus the fetal flexor muscle develops earlier than the extensor muscle, so when the newborn baby is naked, the limbs are curled for more time and straightened for less time, and the two little hands can sometimes spin outward and backward. Some newborns on one or both sides of the foot slightly turned inward or outward, elbow outward, head back, face asymmetry, etc., if the normal activities, or correct the posture of the joints can return to normal posture, more of the continuation of the fetal posture, after a period of time will return to normal. For those who have difficulty in returning to normal position even with strong force, or have not returned to normal after 3 months, should go to the doctor.
(13), jumping in fear
Newborns often have local muscle twitching after falling asleep, especially fingers or toes will be gently twitching, or by slight stimulation such as bright light, sound or vibration, etc., will show hands open upward, and soon retracted, sometimes accompanied by crying “jumping” reaction. This is due to the immaturity of the neonatal nervous system. At this point, as long as the mother gently presses any part of the baby’s body with her hand, you can make him quiet. No need to be nervous, as the baby matures, this phenomenon will slowly disappear.
(14), false menstruation
Some female babies can have mild swelling of the labia majora or a small amount of mucus and bloody discharge from the vagina within a week after birth, called “pseudomenstruation”, which is due to the influence of estrogen in the mother’s body during the fetal period, and after birth the estrogen in the baby’s body drops significantly, causing the uterus and vaginal epithelial tissue to fall off, which is a normal This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Usually disappears in 2-3 days, no need to do any treatment.
(15), red urine
Newborns 2-5 days after birth, due to less urine, coupled with more decomposition of white blood cells, so that uric acid excretion increased, can make the urine is red, and cries when urinating, mostly in the urine stained diapers were found. You can increase the amount of nursing or feed some warm water to increase the amount of urine to prevent the formation of crystals and embolism, and it will be fine soon.
(16).Green mole
Large blue-gray spots of different sizes and irregular shapes not higher than the skin surface can be seen on the lumbosacral region, buttocks and back of normal newborns, which are formed by special pigment cell deposition. Most of them disappear at the age of 4, sometimes a little later. This phenomenon is unique to our Oriental population.
5. Is it better for babies to have breast milk or formula?
Undoubtedly, breast milk is the most suitable food for most babies (especially for babies under 6 months), and breastfeeding should be strongly advocated. Breast milk is rich in nutrients and easy to digest and absorb, with a proper ratio of protein, fat and sugar. Breastfeeding is economical and convenient, conducive to enhancing the relationship between mother and child, and is conducive to the mother’s postpartum recovery, and helps to enhance the baby’s immunity. It is true that children who eat formula are more likely to be fat because formula contains much more fat, protein and sugar than breast milk, but babies don’t need that much and it can cause excess weight and plant time bombs such as high blood pressure on their future health. Fat is not equal to healthy, children who eat breast milk may be lighter in weight, but more proportionate, for the baby, breast milk is the best, the ratio of various nutrients is the most appropriate.
6, the newborn baby should not often feed some water?
Exclusively breastfed babies before 4 months, do not need to feed water, breast milk can provide all the nutrients and water needed for the growth and development of babies. Especially in the first 4 months of life, it is not necessary to feed juice and vegetable juice to replenish water. If you feed water too early and too much, you are bound to absorb less milk, resulting in less breast milk secretion. Even if water is fed, it should not be fed in a bottle, but in a small spoon or dropper, so that the baby does not have the illusion of a nipple and refuses to suck on the mother’s nipple. The nutrients in breast milk are comprehensive, with the right ratio of various nutrients, but vitamin D is insufficient, which can be obtained from adding cod liver oil and sunlight.
For infants who are artificially fed with milk or mixed feeding, they should be hydrated in appropriate amounts between breastfeeding sessions. Because the kidney function of small infants is not mature, and the calcium, phosphorus, potassium and chloride in milk are three times higher than in breast milk, they need some water to excrete the excess elements from the kidney urine. Feeding water to plain water is good, but also in moderation to feed fresh fruit juice, vegetable juice, should not feed too much sugar water, and should not feed tea. In the baby suffering from fever, vomiting, diarrhea, regardless of breastfeeding or milk feeding, should be supplemented with some light saline or glucose water.
7, how the baby should “supplement”
Nowadays, Chinese baby mothers and fathers mention the word “supplement”, and they are all well versed in calcium, zinc, iron and protein supplementation, and even some professional terms of Chinese medicine (such as Qi and blood supplementation). Because of the fear that their babies will lack certain nutrients, affecting growth and development, many mothers and fathers are self-taught, no matter what, often holding a view that more is better than less, that a little more does not matter, but do not lack. In line with this idea, many businesses also on the word “supplement” vigorously rendered, pushing the wave. So, “tonic” popular, as if every baby needs “tonic”.
In fact, the so-called “supplement” is an auxiliary measure outside the normal diet, as long as you can do a normal diet, it is rarely necessary to “supplement”. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
8. About febrile convulsions
Due to the immaturity of the central nervous system, infants and children are particularly prone to convulsions (generalized convulsions) when stimulated by high fever. When babies have convulsions, parents often panic and are at their wits’ end.
Parents should do the following when a baby has a convulsion.
① Be calm, keep quiet, and prohibit all unnecessary stimulation to the child.
Loosen the clothes at the child’s collar to keep the airway open. Lay the child flat, tilt the head to the side, and promptly clean the secretions and vomit in the mouth to avoid inhalation of the trachea.
③Press Renzhong and Hegu, taking care not to use too much force to avoid damaging the skin and causing unnecessary pain to the child.
④If the convulsion lasts for more than 5 minutes, call an ambulance immediately.
⑤ Apply antipyretics to lower the body temperature as soon as possible after the convulsions stop.
Tip: Fever-induced convulsions often occur within the first 24 hours after the onset of fever and often occur during the rising phase of body temperature, so this is the time to watch closely! If you have had convulsions before, you should pay more attention to the first day of fever, a little earlier with antipyretic drugs, with a little sedative if necessary, may “nip the convulsions in the bud” Oh!
9. What should I do if my baby has a fever?
There are several characteristics of children’s fever, one is “come quickly, go quickly”, often just play a high, in the blink of an eye fever, and after the use of antipyretic drugs, the body temperature is also relatively fast; because the child suddenly fever exceeded the expectations of adults, so it is easy to make adults feel panic. The second is that fever has less impact on mental status, and it is common for children to have a temperature of 38 degrees or even 39 degrees and still play as usual. This makes parents sometimes fail to detect fever in time.
Fever in children is basically related to viral or bacterial infections, with viruses accounting for a larger proportion. When you hear of a fever, you often think it is “bad”, but in fact, the body deliberately raises its temperature in order to fight more favorably against viruses and bacteria. Usually the fever starts in the evening and finally goes down the next morning, but then rises again from the afternoon. This often happens. In the case of a simple cold, the fever can last for 2 to 3 days, so there is no need to panic.
Many parents worry that “the fever will burn your brain”, and some can even give examples of “someone who became stupid after having a fever”. Indeed, it is understandable to see a child who is weak due to a high fever. However, even if the fever lasts for several days and reaches 40 degrees, the fever will not affect the brain or leave sequelae. In the case of the so-called fever that causes stupidity, the fever may actually be caused by encephalitis, and the sequelae of “stupidity” are left behind. The fever is only a defensive response of the body to the pathogen, and it is the disease that causes the fever that actually causes the “brain damage”.
In addition, the degree of fever is not related to the severity of the disease. Even if you have a high fever, it may not be a serious illness!
Do I have to use antipyretics for fever?
Antipyretics are emergency medications that can quickly reduce excessive body temperature, but they also have significant side effects, the most common of which is irritation of the gastric mucosa, causing stomach pain. Therefore, for most children, if the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees 5 and there is no obvious signs of chills or shivering, then there is no need to use it. A moderate fever accelerates the removal of pathogens from the body. Even if the temperature reaches over 39 degrees, if the child has obvious sweating, then there is no need to use it because, at that time, the body temperature will drop on its own without antipyretic drugs.
Fever can get better on its own! The role of the thermoregulatory center is to maintain the relative stability of the body temperature, and after a period of fever, the thermoregulatory center will give instructions for the body temperature to return to normal! The key to care for your baby when he has a fever is to replenish the “water”.
10.Can I take a bath when I have a cold?
Some people say “it’s better to take a bath and sweat” when you have a cold, while others say “you can’t take a bath”, so we are at a loss as to which statement to believe.
In fact, it is a bit too absolute to say whether you can take a bath when you have a cold, because it is absolutely inappropriate to take a bath at the stage of rising body temperature of fever, because it will stimulate the body to chill and make the fever worse. And in the stage of falling body temperature, the body is relatively weak, bath, especially sauna bath, heat accumulation children are easy to fatigue, sweating a lot, will aggravate the body’s water loss, easy to deflate, therefore, if someone says, “children fever, take a bath to cool down!” You will understand that this is not appropriate. Of course, in the absence of fever, if you like, you may want to take a warm bath, you can wash away the stinky sweat, to achieve the effect of refreshment, but you need to pay attention to the temperature of the bath water and the bath time can not be too long Oh!
When a child has a high fever, the traditional practice in addition to “give the child a bath”, there are people who use alcohol water to wipe the bath, hoping to take away the heat and reduce body temperature. But now it is found that these practices are not very suitable for children, because children are very weak when they have a fever, these practices stimulate too much intensity, which can easily lead to fainting. However, it is good to rub the forehead, neck, armpits, thigh roots and other areas with warm water. An ice patch on the head can also play a cooling and waking effect.
11.About diarrhea
Most diarrhea in babies is caused by viruses attacking the intestinal mucosa, while a few are triggered by bacteria, toxins and other factors. Viral diarrhea is also often accompanied by fever, vomiting, abdominal pain and other manifestations, which usually lasts for several days to about a week. Diarrhea can be seen as a defensive response by the intestines to drive viruses, bacteria and other harmful substances out of the body. The most important thing to do after diarrhea is to let your baby replace the lost water and salt.
It is also important to take good care of your baby’s little buttocks during diarrhea.
Medications that parents can safely use in case of diarrhea according to the instructions:
Montmorillonite Bulk: It has a fixing and adsorption effect on viruses and germs in the digestive tract and the toxins they produce, and then expelled from the body with intestinal peristalsis; it has a protective effect on the mucous membrane of the digestive tract.
Probiotics (yuan): there are many drugs in this category, commonly used are gold bifidus, pefikon, whole intestine raw, hebiotic, lactobacillus, etc. Its role is mainly to regulate the intestinal flora and restore the balance of flora.
Oral rehydration salts: used to replenish water and electrolytes during diarrhea.
The above three types of drugs are suitable for all kinds of diarrhea and are always available in the family medicine cabinet.
12. Trust your child’s immunity
The immune system of preschool children is in a “green and yellow”, from weak to strong, gradually mature and solid process, this process depends on two points, one is a reasonable and effective stimulation, such as each time the sick, which is actually the immune system in the battle of continuous learning and growth process; the other is the child’s own nutritional status and physical exercise.
We have to look at each illness of the child dialectically, after each illness the immune system is strengthened.
Many parents are dissatisfied with their children’s immune function and believe that their children’s immunity is too poor, so they try to strengthen their children’s resistance. Once the child is sick, and overly worried about the child’s immune function, this parental concern often has an impact on the medical behavior of the doctor, and overmedication is inevitable. Many children are sick, parents will “force” the doctor to give the baby “drip”, that “the child resistance is poor, take medicine does not work”. Unbeknownst to them, it is this excessive medical treatment that has a negative impact on the maturation of the child’s immune system.
Believe in your child’s immunity! Although temporarily a little weak, but the most basic resistance to disease is still guaranteed. When your baby is sick, it’s better to follow the rules and seek more advice from your doctor!
