95 baby mother gave birth to a "snowman baby", no one dares to hug the whole family

The 95-year-old mother gave birth to a "snowman baby", the whole family was so scared that no one dared to hold it, but the doctor said: Congratulations!

The mother and father-to-be are very much looking forward to the child's birth, every mother and father will first carve out the baby's appearance in their hearts.

However, some babies are not born as expected by their mothers and fathers, some babies not only look "ugly", but also have strange substances on their bodies, and inexperienced parents-to-be will easily be shocked.

The mother gave birth to a "snowman baby" in October

The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. After the hard work of "October pregnancy", the baby was born successfully after surviving the painful process of delivery.

The husband, who was with the baby, suddenly became a little nervous when he saw the baby. The baby's whole body was wrapped in white material, like a "snowman baby".

After Ms. Xu and the baby were pushed out of the delivery room, the whole family saw the baby but no one dared to hold it in fear. This time the mother-in-law nervously asked the doctor: "Why is my grandson covered with these white things, is the child unhealthy?"

When the whole family was very nervous, the doctor said, "Congratulations, the baby is very healthy, the white stuff is called fetal fat, it is something that can protect the baby, so you don't have to worry, it will disappear after a while, you have to pay attention to scientific care." After hearing the doctor's words, the whole family's heart was finally relaxed

The "fetal fat" can protect the baby in many ways

1、Protect the skin

If the skin is immersed in water for a long time, the skin will easily appear wrinkled, and the fetus is in the environment of amniotic fluid for a long time, but their skin is especially delicate when they are born, and this has a lot to do with fetal fat. The fetal fat can effectively avoid direct contact between the fetal skin and amniotic fluid and protect the fetal skin from being immersed in amniotic fluid.

2、Maintain constant body temperature

Babies live in a warm and comfortable environment when they are in their mother's tummy, but there is a gap between the outside temperature and the temperature of the uterus, plus the baby's thermoregulatory system is not yet mature when it is first born, so it is easy to be affected by the temperature difference. And the fetal fat has to maintain the baby's body temperature constant.

3、Antibacterial effect

Studies have shown that fetal fat has a very good antibacterial effect. The newborn is relatively fragile, and they are not well adapted to the external environment when they are born, so this time the body of the fetal fat can help them to defend against external bacteria, microorganisms, and other harmful substances, which is a powerful defense barrier after the birth of the baby.

What should I do with my baby's fetal fat?

Generally speaking, it will be absorbed naturally by the baby's skin within 24-48 hours. However, in the folds of the skin, such as the baby's armpits, neck, and other locations, there may be a buildup of meconium, so parents can choose to dissolve it with oily substances such as olive oil and then wash these areas.

In addition to this, the baby's hair is also prone to accumulation of fetal fat, and excessive accumulation of fetal fat tends to block their hair roots. This time, you can also use oily substances, such as emollient oil, fragrance oil, etc. for lubrication, and then wash the baby's head

Parents should be careful to be gentle when dealing with the accumulation of meconium, and never pick them with their hands, because the baby's skin is relatively delicate, so if you pick them with your hands, you will easily damage their skin. In addition, if you pick the baby's head with your hands, it can easily lead to infection and other undesirable conditions.

There are many aspects of a newborn baby that need attention besides fetal fat, and newborn care is also a matter of great concern. So parents should learn the relevant knowledge in advance and not be too alarmed when they encounter problems, but seek the help of a professional doctor in time to give better care to their newborn baby.
