Jaundice: Over 80% of newborns experience physiological jaundice, where the baby's skin and sclera gradually turn yellow 2-3 days after birth. Don't worry, this is usually a normal physiological phenomenon. Frequent feeding and sun exposure (be careful to cover the baby's eyes) promote bilirubin excretion, and it usually subsides naturally within 1-2 weeks. If the jaundice is severe, lasts longer than 2 weeks, or is accompanied by other abnormalities such as lethargy, be sure to take the baby to the doctor to rule out pathological jaundice.
Diaper Rash: Prolonged diaper use can easily cause diaper rash. Keep the baby's bottom clean and dry, change diapers frequently, and apply a thin layer of diaper rash cream after each diaper change to create a protective barrier.
Spitting Up: A newborn's stomach is positioned horizontally, and the lower esophageal sphincter is relaxed, resembling an "open little bag," making them prone to spitting up after feeding if not properly cared for. Don't panic. After feeding, hold your baby upright and gently pat their back until they burp to release the gas. This can effectively reduce spitting up.
