Special physiological phenomenon newborn baby

1 fetal fat
Newborn infants covered with a layer of the skin when the fetal white fat, have a protective effect, do not wash away, usually a few hours after birth, gradually absorbed. However, if the ear, scalp, and other organs under the folds of fat left over from fetal blood is too thick or sticky, it should after birth gently remove with a warm and wet towel, and then coated with a little sterile vegetable oil.
2 meconium
By the fetal intestinal mucosa secretions, bile and swallowed amniotic fluid composition, was dark green. Usually begin 2-3 days after birth excretion, about 2-3 days, drained, converted to a normal newborn yellow stool. Because meconium on neonatal perianal skin irritation, so the application of warm water every time cleaning the buttocks after a bowel movement, dry vegetable oil after the deposition of thin layer to prevent red buttocks (diaper dermatitis) occurs.
3 Maya
Neonatal middle palate and gums often on the cutting edge of small yellow-white spots, called epithelial pearl, commonly known as "horse teeth" or "die", the Department of glandular epithelial cells or mucus accumulation due to accumulation of secretions. In a few weeks to several months after birth, go away, not just pick random or towel to wipe with a needle to prevent infection.
4 physiological weight loss
Since the first few days after birth, eating less, while there are no dominant water loss and urine excretion, it is 2-4 days after birth weight decreased, when compared with birth weight of about 6% -9%, said Rational weight loss of livelihood. With the increase of milk, eating increases, about 10 days after birth returned to normal, into the rapid growth stage. In such cases no special treatment, observation can be strengthened.
Dehydration Heat 5
Neonatal subcutaneous fat, thin, relatively large surface area, easy to heat. Heat through the skin when the temperature is too high increase less than if the body of water at this time, blood concentration, easy to make neonatal dehydration heat. Heat dehydration heat of not more than 38 ℃, if you could find, quickly returned to normal after rehydration. Care to prevent dehydration heat: First, newborn clothing should be loose, not tight package; the second is the hot season to keep the indoor ventilation and adequate water supply needs.
6 physiological jaundice
Mainly due to fetal hypoxia environment in which excessive stimulation of erythropoiesis, so that the source of early neonatal bilirubin more than adults, in addition to liver cells in newborn bilirubin uptake, binding and excretion function is poor, it can cause the phenomenon of physiological jaundice. Usually appear 2-3 days after birth, 4-7-5 days to 14 days the most significant regression. Generally in good condition, with a self-limiting, without treatment, the prognosis is good.
Physiological breast enlargement 7
Male and female newborns may occur 3-5 days after birth there, pigeon breast enlargement such as bean size, and even a small amount of milk can be squeezed out. This is because progesterone and prolactin in pregnant women to the fetus through the placenta after delivery of pregnant women the effects of estrogen interrupted, the role of prolactin increased, resulting in breast enlargement and milk secretion. Generally do not have special treatment to prevent secondary infection can not be squeezed, about 2-3 weeks after birth subsided.
8 fake menstrual
5-7 days after birth, a few girls from the small amount of vaginal blood flow, like menstruation, continued from only 1-3 days. This is due to maternal estrogen into the fetus late impact caused by a sudden interruption after birth, usually without treatment. If the bleeding is more severe or prolonged, then the newborn hemorrhagic disease treatment should be given vitamin K, vitamin C, An network of blood, sensitivity and other treatment to stop bleeding.
