You can't get fat during the Spring Festival
As a new parent, in the face of the arrival of a newborn, in addition to joy, it may be a little rushed. Especially when it comes to neonatal medication and the care of special family members, there may be some questions and confusion. Today, I will combine my professional knowledge to share with you some common sense of neonatal medication and care skills for special family members.
First of all, let's learn about the common sense of neonatal medication. In the neonatal period, drug metabolism and excretion are not yet fully developed, so special caution is required when administering drugs to newborns. Here are some precautions for newborn medications:
1.Follow your doctor's instructions: When administering medication to your newborn, be sure to follow your doctor's advice and do not adjust the dose or timing of medication on your own.
2.Know how the drug works: Before giving the drug to a newborn, it is important to fully understand the drug's effects,** and possible drug interactions.
3.Choose the right medications: Try to choose drugs that have less impact on the newborn and avoid drugs that are harmful to the newborn.
4.Observe neonatal reactions: In the process of administering medication to newborns, it is necessary to closely observe the changes in the condition and drug reactions of newborns, and seek medical attention in time if there is any abnormality.
5.Pay attention to drug storage: Newborn drugs should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place to ensure the quality of the medicine.
Next, let's take a look at the care tips for special family members. Special family members include premature infants, low birth weight infants, children with congenital heart disease, etc. Here are some care tips for these special family members:
1.Premature and underweight infants: These newborns need to be observed and ** in the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital after birth. Parents should closely cooperate with medical staff, pay attention to the changes in the condition of the newborn, and feed and care according to the doctor's instructions.
2.Children with congenital heart disease: These newborns require special attention to heart function and stability. Parents should learn first-aid skills such as cardiac massage and oxygen inhalation in order to provide timely assistance to newborns in case of emergency. At the same time, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions for medication** and regular check-ups.
3.Newborns with weakened immunity: Such newborns are susceptible to diseases, and parents should strictly implement measures such as disinfection and isolation to avoid newborns being exposed to viruses and bacteria. During the nursing process, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions and regularly check the immunity of the newborn.
4.Neonatal jaundice: Neonatal jaundice is a common phenomenon, and in most cases, mild jaundice does not require special treatment. However, if the newborn's jaundice is severe or lasts for a long time, you should seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's instructions**.
5.Newborn feeding: When feeding newborns, choose the right nipple and bottle, and pay attention to the cleaning and disinfection of the bottle. According to the growth and development of newborns, the amount and frequency of feeding should be reasonably adjusted.
In conclusion, the medication for newborns and the care of special family members require the joint attention of parents and medical staff. As parents, we should carefully study relevant knowledge and cooperate closely with medical staff to provide a healthy and safe growth environment for newborns. At the same time, it is also necessary to maintain a good attitude and bravely face the challenges of neonatal diseases and care.
Finally, I wish every newborn can grow up healthily and every family can be full of joy. If you have any questions or confusion, please feel free to consult a medical professional to jointly protect the health of your newborn.
