CARE OF A HEALTHY NEWBORN IN THE Maternity Hospital

A newborn baby is a great joy, but also a great responsibility for parents.
To help the baby adapt to new environmental conditions, new mothers should know the basic principles of caring for a newborn.
Care begins with the delivery room, which is always ready to receive a newborn baby.
The room is equipped with a heated table, a newborn emergency kit, and a scale.

The temperature in the room where the baby is born is maintained at a level of at least 25 C.
Immediately after birth, the baby is dried with a dry warm diaper in the midwife’s hands and laid out on the mother’s bare chest and stomach.
This is the beginning of the next stage of care – skin to skin contact (SCC), which is carried out during the first 1-2 hours of life.
A disposable umbilical cord clamp is applied without separating the baby from the mother, directly on the mother’s abdomen after the umbilical cord stops pulsing.
Early clamping of the umbilical cord is carried out according to indications (the need to provide emergency care to the child, the risk of developing a conflict in blood type or Rh factor).
An assessment of the child’s condition by a neonatologist is carried out immediately after birth, without separation from the mother, in order to exclude pathology and control the child’s adaptation.
Weighing, measuring and a full physical examination may be done later, before transfer to the neonatal unit.
In cases where contact with the mother is temporarily impossible (caesarean section, the need for maternal manipulations), skin-to-skin contact with the father is practiced (during partner births).
Mother and child are in the delivery room under the supervision of a midwife during the first 1-2 hours after birth.
Because the sucking reflex may be suppressed during the first 40 minutes of life, breastfeeding is carried out as soon as it is ready during the first hour of life, but no later than 2 hours.
There is a midwife next to the mother and baby, who assesses the signs of the newborn’s readiness for sucking (the baby raises his head, opens his mouth, sticks out his tongue, sucks his fist) and helps him to suckle well to the breast, giving the correct position of the body.
The transfer of a newborn from the delivery room to the department is carried out 2 hours after delivery, provided that the mother and child are in a satisfactory condition.
When transferring, the neonatal unit nurse checks the information from the newborn’s developmental history and the tags on the baby’s arms.

NEWBORN CHILD CARE IN THE NEWBORN UNIT (MATERIAL AND CHILD SHARE ROOM)
The temperature in the shared room is maintained at a minimum of 25C.
After being transferred to the postpartum ward, the nurse from the neonatal unit teaches the mother all the elements of newborn care, shows her how to wash the baby with running warm water under the tap, avoiding the baby’s body touching the washbasin.
The mother dresses the child herself, using home clothes (pampers, sliders, undershirts) or swaddling the lower part of the body with a diaper.
The child’s body temperature is measured 2 times a day with an electronic thermometer in the armpit.
Normal body temperature is 36.5-37.50C.
A child’s sister teaches mother thermometry, and then the mother herself measures the temperature of the child’s body.
No special eye treatment required.
If necessary, the mother washes the child’s face with warm running water.
If the eyes are contaminated, wash them with a tissue soaked in sterile water or a cotton ball from the outer corner of the eye to the inner.
Separate cotton balls or wipes are used for each eye.
If nasal breathing is difficult, the toilet of the nasal passages is carried out. It is necessary to moisten a cotton ball in sterile water, twist the flagellum and gently screw it into each nasal passage (alternately), removing crusts or mucus.
The umbilical cord is managed by the open dry method.
The neonatologist or pediatric nurse also teaches the mother how to care for the umbilical cord and umbilical wound.
The main care requirement is to keep it clean and dry. If the umbilical cord remains contaminated, it is important to rinse it with warm running water and dry it with a clean diaper.
The umbilical cord must be left open to air or covered with clean, loose clothing.
Pampers should not cover the remainder of the umbilical cord until it falls off.
The umbilical cord falls off on its own.
The child can be discharged home with the umbilical remnant intact.
Breastfeeding is carried out at the request of the child, and not according to the regimen.
A nurse in the neonatal unit teaches the mother how to breastfeed, explains to her the signs of proper attachment and positioning of the baby at the breast, evaluates the correct attachment and sucking efficiency.
Provides re-education to the mother if necessary.
If a woman is having difficulty breastfeeding and caring for her newborn, the pediatric nurse provides advice and practical help.
A neonatologist and a pediatric nurse daily examine the umbilical cord, umbilical wound, skin and mucous membranes for the presence of purulent-inflammatory diseases.

Newborn care in maternity hospital

Finally, the tedious months of waiting are over, and the long-awaited meeting with your baby has taken place. Undoubtedly, the first days of life can be difficult for both the newborn and the mother. After all, for the first time the baby breathes on his own, eats, gets the first experience of contact not only with his mother, but with many new bacteria. A young mother in the first day or two may experience a feeling of fear and helplessness – and this is natural if you have never held newborns in your arms before this day and do not have experience caring for them. Fortunately, a little pre-natal preparation, your maternal instincts, and the help of the nursing staff at the maternity hospital will quickly turn caring for your baby into pleasant daily rituals.

What should a mother know about caring for her baby in the hospital?

Immediately after birth, the child’s respiratory tract is cleaned of excess mucus and moisture, the umbilical cord is cut and the umbilical cord is clamped with a special staple, drops are instilled into the eyes to prevent infection with gonococci. If the condition of the baby does not cause any concern among doctors, then it is placed on the mother’s stomach and then applied to the chest. Additionally, blood is taken from the maternal umbilical cord residue and the group and Rh of the baby are determined if the mother’s blood has a negative Rh factor. After that, the child is transferred to the ward, where he stays with his mother all the time, or to a special children’s department, where the medical staff watches him around the clock.

The joint stay of mother and baby in the maternity hospital has a positive effect on the condition of both the woman in labor and the child. The mother has the opportunity to take part in the care of the newborn, which contributes to the active settlement of the mother’s microflora in his body, while the contacts of the baby with the medical staff are limited, and this, in turn, reduces the risk of infection with microbes characteristic of medical institutions.

To make the maternity hospital period less stressful for both, mothers need to learn the following:

• hold your baby properly in your arms;

How to hold and put the baby

The baby looks very vulnerable after birth and the mother may be afraid to take him in her arms so as not to harm him. You should not do this, try to touch your baby more often, this will positively affect his emotional state and development in general. Confidence in your actions will appear very quickly, so initially try to be calm, smile and speak in a quiet and gentle voice with the child, although he still does not distinguish well between what he heard and what he saw, but he perfectly feels the emotional state of his mother. Then slowly and gently place your hand under the baby’s neck so that his head is comfortably located on the bend of your elbow, and control the position of the back and priests with the other hand. Be sure to wear the baby on both hands to evenly distribute the load and avoid overstressing one of them.

Watch for regularity and smoothness of your movements, when you pick up the baby, be sure to support his head with your palm, as newborns have poorly developed neck muscles and he cannot do it on his own yet.

If you want to put the baby in the crib, then go down with him as low as possible to the bed and carefully place. Hold your hands under the baby for about 5 seconds until he gets used to the firmness of the mattress, and only then slowly remove them. Cover the baby with a blanket or light blanket to keep warm.

Skin care

The key to continued well-being and the absence of skin problems is competent care of the baby before and after discharge from the hospital. The first cleansing procedures for the baby are done by the nurse, while showing and teaching the young mother. If you don’t remember something or doubt the correctness of your actions, be sure to consult with the medical staff at the maternity hospital.

Newborns have very sensitive and easily injured thin skin with insufficiently developed protective mechanism. Therefore, mothers need to begin and end all hygiene procedures with a thorough washing of their hands. Morning care – washing, rubbing the eyes, nose, ears and all skin folds – is best done before the second feeding until 8-9hours of the morning. For greater convenience, it is advisable to do this on a changing table, covered in advance with a clean soft diaper.

Washing the baby

First wiped with sterile cotton swab moistened in warm (35-37 ° C) water, face and handles of the baby and dry with a soft paper towel or diaper. Each eye is washed with a separate wet swab, moving from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. Since the ears of babies fit snugly to the head, in order to avoid sweating, do not forget to wipe with a damp swab and then wipe the skin behind the ears with a dry cloth.

Newborn Ear Care

To clean the ears, use only self-rolled cotton balls or cotton swabs with restraints to avoid accidentally damaging the eardrums. Such a precaution is necessary because of the rather wide and short ear passages in infants and the eardrums close to the exit.

Cleansing the nose

To clean the nose, make small bundles of cotton up to 5 mm thick and up to 4-5 cm long. For each nostril, a separate flagellum should be twisted. If there are dry crusts in the nose, then they need to be lubricated with a drop of baby oil and then with a flagellum, gently scrolling it in the nostril, remove the crusts.

Washing the baby

The morning routine is completed by washing and treating all wrinkles on the neck, arms, legs and groin with baby oil. It is imperative to wash the child not only in the morning, but also after each stool. To avoid infection of the genital organs, pediatricians recommend washing both boys and girls in the direction from the abdomen to the priests.

It is recommended to wash the baby under running warm water up to 37°C. To do this, the mother places the baby on her forearm so that the head is on the elbow bend, and the butt is held by the hand. With the other hand, gently wash the baby so that the water from the tap falls on the mother’s hand first – this will allow the mother to control the temperature of the water so that it does not get too hot or cold on the baby.

In case of severe soiling after stool, baby soap may be used, but not more than once or twice a day. More frequent use of soap can cause dryness of the skin due to the washing away of its protective fatty film. If it is not possible to wash the child under running water, then use high-quality baby wipes.

At the end of the procedure, it is necessary to dry the skin with slow blotting movements with a soft diaper made of natural fabric, lubricate the folds on the body with baby oil and sprinkle with powder.

How to change diapers

Be sure to change disposable diapers after a bowel movement, at bedtime or every two hours. Choose the right diaper size and preferably one made from breathable material, and go for trusted brands.

To change a diaper, lay the baby on his back, untie and remove the clothes, unfasten the Velcro on the used diaper and, gently lifting the baby by the legs with one hand, pull the diaper out from under him with the other hand.

Wash the baby and treat the skin with baby oil and powder as described above.

Then lay out the clean diaper so that the Velcro is at the back and the colorful stripe is at the front. Again, gently lift the baby’s legs with one hand and place the unfolded new diaper under the ass so that the edge of its back is in the lumbar area. The front of the diaper should be stretched and placed on the baby’s tummy, straighten all the cuffs and folds of the diaper and fasten it carefully. Until the umbilical wound heals, for better air circulation in the navel area, partially tuck the diaper belt outward.

How to swaddle a baby

Since the baby will not lie still during swaddling, but this must be done quickly and smoothly, it is better for the expectant mother to learn how to do this even before childbirth, practicing on the doll. If it doesn’t work out, don’t despair, the nurse in the maternity hospital will be able to show you how to do it right and control your actions at first.
