Don't rub the female baby's urethral orifice back and forth, which is close to the anus. If it is not cleaned in time after defecation, or the nursing method is improper, it is easy to pollute the urethral orifice and cause irritation, and even lead to infection.
When cleaning and wiping, two points should be paid attention to:
1, from top to bottom, from front to back, never wipe up and down.
2, paper towels with a discarded, do not fold one side and then wipe, otherwise it is easy to pollute the perineum.
Parents may think that this is a bit wasteful. Sometimes, after wiping, the paper towel is not dirty, and it feels clean when folded in half. In fact, bacteria can easily penetrate through paper towels and look clean to the naked eye. It doesn't mean that bacteria don't exist, and it's a paper towel that has been wiped with poop.
Don't rub too much. Some transparent or white substances will be discharged from the vagina after the baby is born. This is vaginal mucus, also known as vaginal secretions, which is a normal phenomenon. The baby's pudendal skin is very delicate, and these secretions are like a natural barrier, which can protect the pudendal skin and mucosa to a certain extent. It is unnecessary and impossible to over-clean, otherwise it will destroy the protection. Some parents want to clean the secretions, which is unnecessary. Just wipe or rinse them normally.
6 Specific steps of female baby's private parts nursing Step 1: Wet the paper towel with warm water, and gently wipe the stool around the anus, paying attention to wiping it from front to back.
Step 2: Then gently wipe the baby's labia with a wet tissue. To prevent injury to the baby, it is best not to wipe the inside of the labia.
Step 3: Clean the root of thigh, and then dry it with a soft special towel.
Step 4: dry your baby's butt, apply hip cream, and then put on clean diapers.
7 Common problems in nursing female baby's private parts: Does it matter if the baby has blood-red secretion? This phenomenon is called neonatal false menstruation. During the fetal development, the estrogen in the mother's body enters the fetus through the placenta. After the baby is born, the estrogen level drops, and the support for the proliferation and congestion of the baby's reproductive mucosa is interrupted. The endometrium will fall off, and a small amount of blood and some bloody secretions will be discharged from the vagina. These secretions are normal, so parents don't have to worry about them or do anything special.
If the bloody secretion has not subsided for several weeks, or the bleeding is not a faint color, but blood flowing from a skin break, this means that it is not bloody secretion, but bleeding, and you should take your baby to see a doctor immediately. However, if the vaginal discharge is green or smelly, you should take your baby to see a doctor immediately, because this may mean that your baby has a bacterial infection. It is necessary to culture vaginal secretions to determine the kinds of bacteria that cause infection.
The baby's labia stick together. How to deal with this situation is called labia adhesion, which is a common phenomenon of female babies. The labia minora, which was originally separated on both sides of the vaginal opening, sticks together, partially or completely blocking the vaginal opening. This happens mostly in the months after the baby is born. Some older babies are often stimulated by diapers or irritating lotion in the labia area, or wear non-cotton underwear for a long time, and may also cause adhesion due to inflammation. Under normal circumstances, labial adhesion has no obvious symptoms, and most of them will heal themselves with the baby's age. Parents can observe and wait under the guidance of a doctor without too much intervention. There are only a few serious adhesions that affect the baby's urination or cause urinary tract infection, so treatment is needed.
8 Both male and female treasures should pay attention to 1, and don't wear open-backed pants for your baby to avoid being contaminated by dust or pathogens and polluting your baby's private parts.
2. Try not to use or use wet wipes as little as possible to avoid the additive ingredients irritating the baby's delicate skin. You can scrub the baby with a soft paper towel or cotton towel.
3. Wash your baby's underwear, and try not to use detergents, softeners, etc. These products are easy to cause baby's allergies, resulting in damage to the pudendal skin and increasing the chance of infection.
4. The baby's washing basin and towel should be used separately. After use, it is best to wash the towel with boiling water and disinfect it, and dry it in the sun. Don't treat it with disinfectant.
