How to take care of baby's minor problems.
The end of the cord will fall after a few weeks after birth.
Until it falls, keep it clean and dry.
Keep the nappy under the cord so that the cord stay dry.
Dab with alcohol in a cotton swab 2-3 times a day.
Call your baby's health care provider if they look red, irritated, bleeding, dry or have a bad odor.
CIRCUMCISION CARE;
Circumcision should cool down in 7-10 days.
If the tip is irritated with a nappy, apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the hidden area each time you change the nappy.
PREVENT DIAPER BREAK;
Change diapers regularly.
Change diaper after every 2-4 hours.
Wash the baby's bottom with soap and warm water when changing.
Apply diaper rash cream on irritated areas.
Use Sudo cream.
TREAT DIAPER RASH:
Leave the area in the baby's diaper uncovered for a few hours each day. (Put a few cloth diapers wrapped around the baby.)
Apply diaper rash cream to irritated areas after bathing.
Use Sudo cream.
TREAT DIARRHEA;
If you are breastfeeding, keep doing it. It's so good for baby health.
Call your child's Doctor if your child is dehydrated, unable to keep themselves hydrated, has severe diarrhea, or has diarrhea for more than 12 hours. (Diarrhea can be a major problem for young children, who can lose a lot of fluids quickly).
There are special beverages — called oral electrolyte solutions — that should be given to infants with diarrhea to avoid becoming seriously ill.
TREAT COLIC;
Make sure your baby does not cry for some other reason (wet nappy, hunger, tight clothes, loneliness).
Hold the baby, abdomen down, across your knees.
Push your child to the cart.
Use degas colic drops.
TREAT THE COLD;
Try to make your child more comfortable.
Call your child health care provider if your child has the flu and fever.
