After the baby was born and from the mouth and nose he sucked the mucus, he begins to breathe on his own. Usually this happens in 10-20 seconds, because in order for the first breath to occur, certain changes in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems must take place in the child's body.
Together with the first inhalation, a restructuring in the child's body begins - the air begins to pass through the lungs. As a consequence, the work includes a small circle of blood circulation, which in utero did not function.
Normally, the child has good hearing. Being in the womb, he could distinguish the voices of his mother and other family members. Therefore, after birth, the child immediately recognizes the voice of his mother and calms down, hearing her affectionate words.
In the diet should be more dairy and sour-milk products: 3-4 glasses of milk a day, yogurt, yogurt, cottage cheese. We must not forget that you have to drink about two liters of liquid per day ...
The room for the newborn should be light, well ventilated, the temperature in it should not exceed 25 ° C. Do not worry if you can not give the child a separate room.
Undoubtedly, natural feeding (that is, breast-feeding) is much better than artificial feeding. The tremendous advantage of breastfeeding is the absolute sterility of breast milk. In addition, breastfeeding is a huge saving of money.
You can begin to bathe the baby after healing of the umbilical wound. Usually, it completely heals about two weeks after birth.
After feeding, children often experience regurgitation. Regurgitation is the ejection from the stomach of milk, fresh or already curdled, for a short distance.
The first problem is the form of the nipples that is uncomfortable for the child. If the nipples are flat or retracted, this greatly complicates breastfeeding, especially when the baby is easily aroused.
The child by the end of the first month of life has already well adjusted the processes of blood circulation, breathing, digestion. He has a whole set of reflexes: sucking, defensive, indicative, grasping and some others.
