Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should a child during the postpartum period be cared for? What precautions should be taken?Doctor's answer:
Normal newborns have very little urine in the first few days of life. If there is a decrease or absence of urine, it is advisable to first give the child some sweetened water and start feeding early. The urine output will then increase. If there is still no urine after 48 hours, a check-up should be conducted.3. The stools of breastfed infants are golden yellow, uniform, smooth, and creamy with a faintly sour odor. Newborns' clothing should be lightweight and soft, preferably made of cotton, without buttons. When bathing, be gentle and avoid using rough dry towels. Do not use soaps with excessive alkalinity. If possible, bathe the baby frequently. If not, use a damp towel for regular cleaning, paying special attention to the crevices between the fingers, armpits, groin, and the perianal area.
