Common physiological phenomena in newborns 2

  Yesterday, I read a woman and infant obstetrics humorist “maternal grandmother meow too” of the “deep love alive” article, quite moved, the mind emerged in the work of these years a scene of hard to let go of memories, was ready to go home immediately write a remote echo, think or a few days, otherwise Colleagues are too sentimental. A few days ago, I also read a woman and baby Dr. Dai Dai’s “men do not tolerate” article, is also very inspired. The women of the first baby are very good, once the power is unstoppable, their style of writing is both strong and soft, sometimes strong and sharp, and sometimes soft like water.  What do their two articles have in common?  A: Both of them are very consumer friendly, you see, this article by Mrs. Meow of obstetrics for girls and that article by Dr. Dai Dai for boys, both are very napkin consuming!  Oh, a joke, adjust a little.  Back to the topic, today we will talk about the second common phenomenon in newborns: corn rash This is also a more common skin rash. The most common rash is seen on the tip of the newborn’s nose, others like young women are occasionally seen on the face and trunk, but often larger than the tip of the nose. Corn rash is mainly a result of poor sebaceous secretion and the formation of yellowish-white, pinpoint to corn-sized dots that may be above the skin but without a surrounding redness (in the case of small pustules, there is a surrounding redness). They usually do not require treatment and will disappear spontaneously.  ”The “horse teeth” and pontic beads, as they are known in China, are epithelial beads caused by the proliferation and keratinization of the epithelial cells of the gingival mucosa in newborns, which are light yellowish-white mound-like elevations the size of sesame seeds. Some people may think that this is the reason why newborns don’t like to eat milk and mistakenly use needles to pick it, once the bacteria enter it can cause infection and even sepsis which can be life-threatening. In fact, the epithelial beads will fall off on their own sooner or later, and will not affect breastfeeding, so no treatment is needed.  ”In fact, the epithelial beads will fall off on their own sooner or later and will not affect breastfeeding, so there is no need to treat them.  The outermost layer of the squamous epithelium is the keratinized layer, and keratinized cells are shed in the amniotic fluid when the fetus is in utero. After birth, the epidermal keratinized layer of the newborn is not exempted from the change from a moist environment immersed in amniotic fluid to a dry environment, and the newborn with a strong metabolism becomes flaky and sheds. Because the organization between the epidermis and the dermis of newborns is not close enough, the wrist, ankle and other folds as well as the trunk can also appear peeling 2~3 days after birth. This is more obvious in term infants.  However, it is important to note that if the skin is peeling like fish scales at birth, it is not a physiological phenomenon.  Nasal secretions (boogers) obstruction Often mothers will ask, the baby’s nose is always purring, is not a cold. In fact, the more common cause of nasal congestion in newborns is the obstruction of secretions rather than caused by colds. Recently, the air quality is poor, try to clean the surrounding environment with wet wipe and wet mop to reduce dust absorption, the chance of blockage due to dirt accumulation in the nasal cavity will be reduced accordingly. When you find a nasal secretion blockage, you can first use cold water drops to soften and loosen the hard lumps of accumulated dirt, which will come out with sneezing. If the loose dirt is already in the nasal opening, you can squeeze it slightly outside the nostril. Then use a handkerchief or napkin to wipe, if you can’t wipe out, then you can use sterilized or clean dry cotton swabs to gently roll out the nasal dirt.
