With a little of knowledge, pregnant
women will detect signs about diseases that are dangerous for babies.
To newborn babies, when they have problem
with health, signs will appear outside. Therefore, parents should pay attention
to the following phenomena that warn about baby’s health state:
For
newborn babies, when they have problem with health, signs will appear outside.
1. Belly rises highly
Most of the newborn babies have belly that
rises, especially when they eat fully. However, their belly is often soft. In
the case that baby’s belly has sign of inflammation, hard and the baby doesn’t have
bowel movements in a long time (over 1-2 days) or vomit, you should take it to
go to see podiatrist to check.
Most of children have difficulty in having
bowel movements because they suffer from flatulence, have constipation.
However, in some cases, babies have problems with bowel.
2. Skin becomes yellow unusually
Newborn babies have phenomenon of yellow
skin because red blood cells of fetus are destroyed to replace with mature red
blood cells. If this process takes place normally, quantity of bilirubin in
blood of babies will be eliminated through excrement and urine. After 7-10
days, babies can reduce yellow skin.
However, if babies urinate less, their
urine is pure and they suck badly and yellow skin spreads to hands and legs,
these are signs of heavy yellow skin. If babies aren’t detected and cured on
time, quantity of bilirubin will increase highly and be absorbed into brain. As
a result, it will make babies be in a coma, convulse and die… or it can cause
sequels about eternal exercising mentality.
3. Excrement has strange color
Excrement is simply waste of body. However,
to newborn babies, observing color of excrement will evaluate the state about
health of babies.
Newborn babies often have bowel movements
many times in a day, with the medium rate of 3-5 times/ day. If babies are fed
with bottle, their excrement is very thick with different yellow colors and its
smell is sour. For babies that are fed with outside milk, their excrement is
solid and has addles smell.
When you see that baby’s excrement is white
and colorless, you should pay much attention because maybe their livers have
problem or their bile duct is blocked up. In the case that babies have bowel
movements with sticky excrement which is green, they have disorder with
digestive system. The reasons are that babies have runny nose and respiratory
inflammation. If babies have bowel movements many times, their excrement
contains slimy substance, they vomit a lot and burst into loud wails, maybe
they have intussusception.
You should pay attention to the case that
babies have bowel movements that have blood in excrement. When babies have
intussusception, they have expressions that having bowel movements with fresh
blood and vomiting and bursting into loud wails.
4. Breathing with groaning and looking pale
Count breathing rate of babies in a whole minute.
If it is over 60 times/ minute, continue counting the second time. If it is
also 60 times/minute, babies have phenomenon of breathing quickly.
You
can count breathing rate of babies in a whole minute to know that babies
breathe quickly or not.
Or, you can observe babies when they lie
still and breathe, pay attention whether they are tired in breathing or gasp or
not. See whether the part of side under breast and side wall is concave deeply
or not. If this there is this phenomenon, babies breathe with heavy chest
concave. You can listen to the sound from breath of babies and pay attention whether
that sound is soft or groaning. Their lips and part around lips are violet or
ruddy. Breathing quickly, breathing with drawing chest concave, breathing with
groan and looking pale are signs that babies have difficulty in breathing heavily.
You need to take them to go to the hospital.
5. Cough
If in the first time babies practice
drinking water, they drink quickly, they can couch and spray for a while. This
state will stop when babies adjust to be familiar with eating and drinking
every day. Or sometimes, the reason of coughing phenomenon also relates to steam
of mother’s breast charging too strongly and quickly when babies suck.
If
in the first time babies practice drinking water, they drink quickly, they can
couch and spray for a while.
If babies cough in a long time and often
open their mouth eating, you should take them to go to see pediatricians as
soon as possible because maybe their lungs and digestive system have some
problems.
