How to do when baby chokes on amniotic fluid at birth

It is well known that amniotic fluid plays an important role in fetal development, however, at birth, with the first cry, the baby’s lungs expand and it becomes easy to choke on the amniotic fluid. After birth, if a baby chokes on amniotic fluid, it must be treated actively and correctly as early as possible, if once improperly treated, the baby may die at any time or seriously affect the development of the brain. Of course, there are measures that can be taken to prevent your baby from choking on the amniotic fluid. The reason why newborns are prone to choking on amniotic fluid is because when the fetus is in the mother’s body, the mouth and nose are wrapped in amniotic fluid and do not breathe, and the moment of birth, the mouth and nose begin to breathe, so the amniotic fluid is easy to choke on the throat area, and if the child is overpowered, it may also choke directly on the lungs, causing aspiration pneumonia in newborns. During the birth, the mother should listen to the physician’s command, exert appropriate force, and find an experienced doctor in a regular hospital to deliver the baby. Because the baby’s stomach is transverse in relation to the adult, the nervous system is not fully developed, prone to amniotic fluid or even milk accidentally inhaled into the trachea, but also not easy to cough up, so prone to choking amniotic fluid situation. After feeding and breastfeeding, try to lie on your baby’s side. Feeding should also pay attention to the baby’s expression, choking and choking baby will appear blue, irregular breathing, spitting out milk, foam, coffee-colored liquid, etc.. Choking can not wait, should be immediately rescued: baby head low feet high prone position knocking back and head low feet high side position to clean the baby’s mouth and nose secretions and observe the baby’s breathing, to avoid the baby’s head low position for a long time and aggravate the baby’s lack of oxygen. You can also beat the soles of the feet to stimulate the baby’s response, if the baby still does not cry and response, facial bruising aggravated, indicating that the baby has been suffocated, in the self-help at the same time as soon as possible to call 120.
