Sometime ago I read Suara Merdeka papers then here what I found. I think this is really work for a just gave birth for the first time moms, and still have no experience of caring infant. Even most of of them often get panic while the baby if suffering from something. So, I hope this would be very useful.
If you are a mom of a around four or less months lovely little infant, you must be very tired but also so excited for him. But, I am sure that you could be so distressed when he god influenza, hard to take breath, and too snotty. For this time, is not wise for the baby to take medicine. So, you can handle his influenza by these:
-
First, and the most important is you have to breast feed your baby at least for six months. Breast feeding is increasing infant’s immunity. With sufficient immunity, your baby could throw virus. Therefore, when he is exposed by influenza virus, you as his mom must help him attack the virus by breast feeding. It’s better for you to increase the frequency and quality as well as the quantity of your milk through consuming nutritious food and drink.
-
Give your baby more liquid flow. And the best liquid flow for him is still your milk. The purpose of this is to elude him for dehydration and to keep away his condition for getting worse.
-
Try to remove his mucus. If the mucus comes out from nose then it is snot, but if it is from throat then it is phlegm. Mucus is not a disease, but it’s an antibody mechanism for putting the virus outside. Your baby’s nose needs to be cleaned by this drop of NaCl physiology 0.9% for moistening his bronchial tube. Drop for three times a day. Watery mucus is easier to be removed.
-
Make the baby’s room warmer. Stay away from dry air, since then turn off the air condition in his room or turn on your air heater. Dry and cold air are the trigger for the hard mucus, and make him hard to breath
-
Create comfortable and safety condition. Your infant will cry all the time because of this situation. As a mother you have a certain way for making him more comfortable. It’s a good advice for you to keep the baby in your arm and chest, as do skin to skin contact for naturalizing the baby’s temperature. Please let the baby to feel the sunrise around 7 am to 8 am.
If you as a mother have done all of the tips above but your baby’s suffering is still then you have to take him to doctor for having appropriate medicine.
