Safety?

INTRODUCTION:

A Safe Sleeping Environment . During the normal transition to extrauterine life, blood glucose concentration in the healthy term newborn falls during the first two hours after delivery, reaching a nadir that usually is no lower than 40 mg/dL.

BATHING:

BATHING: Until your baby’s umbilical cord and circumcision have completely healed, give only a sponge bath if necessary. Do not bathe your baby right after a feeding.

BATHING For the first year of life, your baby will only need to be bathed every 2-3 days. Sponge baths are a good way to help you and your baby become accustomed to the new routine. Limit bathing to sponge baths—not tub baths—until your baby’s umbilical cord drops off. The goals of managing neonatal hypoglycemia are:

BATHING: Bathe your baby in a warm, draft-free environment. Have bath supplies ready before beginning the bath. Keep the water temperature comfortably warm, not hot. Before placing your baby in the water, always test the temperature of the water with your elbow.

BATHING: Wash the baby’s face first, using plain water and a washcloth. Wash your baby’s eyes from the inner corner to the outer, using different parts of the washcloth for each eye.

BATHING: Use a mild non-deodorant soap and a soft washcloth to wash the rest of the baby’s body, working downward toward the baby’s feet. Pay special attention to folds and creases.

When washing the genitals, always wipe girls from front to back. When bathing a boy, never forcefully push back the foreskin on an uncircumcised penis. To avoid heat loss, wash the baby’s hair last.

BATHING: To help keep your baby warm after a bath, cover her head with a dry towel. Do not routinely use lotions,oils, or creams on your baby. If the skin becomes too dry or starts to crack, ask your doctor to prescribe a cream that does not contain any fragrances or alcohol.

Do not routinely use lotions,oils, or creams on your baby. If the skin becomes too dry or starts to crack, ask your doctor to prescribe a cream that does not contain any fragrances or alcohol (eg, sepsis and asphyxia) SPONge BatH: Once all your supplies are ready, test the water with your wrist or elbow - it should feel comfortably warm. Clean the eyes first. wet the washcloth with plain water and wash from the inside to the outside corner of each eye. Next, use the tip of the washcloth to gently clean only what you can see in the ears and nose. Do not insert anything into the ears or nose. wipe the face, neck and behind each ear with plain water and wash cloth. Pat dry. Undress your baby and bathe the body with soap and water starting from the neck and working down. Save the diaper area for last. Be sure to clean all folds and creases, but avoid getting the naval area wet.

TUB BATH: Once your baby’s navel and circumcision have healed, substitute a small tub for the basin. the first few times you give a tub bath, use a small amount of water in the tub. A towel or receiving blanket in the bottom of the tub will prevent your baby from slipping. Bathe your baby the same way as above. After your baby is all soaped, rinse gently and once out of the tub, pat dry.

UMBILICAL CORD CARE

:UMBILICAL CORD CARE Your baby’s umbilical cord doesn’t require any special care(except for keeping it clean and dry). If the cord does become dirty (there is a small amount of drainage on or around the cord) simply wipe it with a warm, wet washcloth, cotton ball and let it dry. Since there are no nerve endings in the umbilical cord, you don’t need to worry about hurting your baby. Folding the baby’s diaper below the cord will improve air circulation and help keep the cord dry. Baby’s cord should be kept clean and dry. the cord stump will fall off in 7-14 days. a few drops of blood may appear before or after the cord falls off. always fold the diaper below the cord stump until it falls off and the area looks like normal skin. If there is redness of the surrounding skin, drainage, foul odor or dampness, report these changes to your pediatrician. Never pull the cord stump off. ask your pediatrician about cord cleaning preferences.

:UMBILICAL CORD CARE After the cord drops off, usually in about 12-14 days after birth, you may notice some drainage and slight bleeding. This is normal—just clean the cord site gently until the drainage stops. However, if the skin around the umbilical cord becomes reddened, firm, and/or has pus or a foul smell—call the doctor. It could be infected.

CIRCUMCISION AND PENIS CARE

A circumcision is a procedure that removes a fold of skin, called the foreskin, from the head, or glans, of a baby boy’s penis. Circumcision is no longer performed routinely. It’s your choice whether to have your baby boy circumcised

Making a decision:   Circumcision is no longer considered medically necessary. According to the AAP there is not enough medical evidence to support routine circumcision. Studies do show some potential medical benefits of circumcision, but there are also potential risks .

It’s normal for the site to be red and raw and have yellow crusts for about 5 days. Keep the penis clean by washing it gently with soap and warm water during your son’s bath. You don’t need to use cotton swabs, astringents, or any special bath products. Observe the site for signs of infection. The circumcision should heal completely within 7 to 10 days

For a circumcision using a Plastibell clamp: The Plastibell is a plastic rim that is placed between the foreskin and the glans of the penis. If your baby has a Plastibell, don’t use any special dressings or ointments on your baby’s penis. The plastic rim usually drops off in 5-10 days

For a circumcision using a Gomco or Mogen clamp: Gomco and Mogen clamps are used to surgically remove the foreskin. No special dressing is required. However, to prevent the diaper from rubbing against or sticking to the sore area, you can use a small amount of petroleum jelly on the tip of the penis.
