For newborns, the following are eight key body parts that need to be taken care of:
Head: The head of a newborn is very soft and requires special attention for protection. Avoid forcefully colliding or squeezing the baby's head, while ensuring that the baby's head receives sufficient support.
Eyes: Keep baby's eyes clean and hygienic. Gently wipe the eyes with a clean and soft damp cloth, using a damp cloth for each eye to avoid cross infection.
Ears: Regularly check your baby's ears to ensure they are dry and clean. Avoid using sharp objects such as cotton swabs to enter the baby's ear canal.
Nose: Newborns have delicate noses that are easily stimulated and blocked. Regularly use warm water or physiological saline to clean the baby's nasal cavity, helping the baby breathe smoothly.
Oral cavity: Ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the baby's oral cavity. Starting from the first month after birth, you can gently wipe the inside of your baby's mouth, especially the tongue coating, with a soft gauze or damp cloth.
Neck: Newborns have weaker neck muscles and require additional support. When lifting the baby, hold the baby's head and neck with your hands to ensure that the baby's neck is properly supported.
Body skin: Newborns have delicate and sensitive skin that is easily irritated and infected. Keep the baby's skin clean and dry, and avoid excessive use of chemicals and spices.
Hips: When changing a baby's diaper, ensure that the buttocks are clean and dry to avoid the occurrence of diaper rash. Regularly change diapers, use warm water and non irritating cleaning products for cleaning.
In addition to these specific body parts, it is also important to pay attention to the overall care of the baby, including appropriate feeding, maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for the baby, and timely observing the baby's activities and behavioral changes.
