Love Reminder: Top 10 Precautions for Baby Feeding
1. Don't force infusion
When it comes to feeding your baby to take medicine, it must be necessary to grind hard and soft. However, do not force the baby to take medicine, or it will be quite troublesome to throw up and then feed the baby again. Maybe it will leave a psychological shadow on the baby.
2. Add juice or syrup
Some babies often dare not take the medicine because it is bitter or has a strong smell. At this time, some methods can be used that will not affect the effect of the medicine and can make the baby take the medicine safely. For example, some medicines can be taken together with fruit juice or syrup.
3. Let the baby take medicine naturally
Use a gentle attitude to persuade, or use candy cookies as a reward to induce the baby to take the medicine naturally.
4. Check carefully before taking medicine
Before taking medicine, first check the name and date on the medicine bag. Pay attention to whether to take it before or after meals. The interval between taking medicine twice should be at least 4 hours.
5. Read the instructions carefully
On the outer package of the drug, the way of taking, side effects and ingredients are generally stated. Parents should carefully check these information before taking the drug. If there is any doubt, they should consult the prescriber in time for safety.
6. Discard the medicine you can't finish
Discard the medicine after you eat it. Don't store it. External medicine should also be placed at room temperature or at the temperature specified by the drug, and used up within the specified time.
7. Drugs can't be taken randomly
First of all, adults should not give the baby any medicine, even if the dosage is reduced. Secondly, the use of drugs varies with age, height and weight, so different babies cannot exchange drugs to avoid problems.
8. Be careful when taking it with milk
In order to reduce the trouble of taking medicine, some parents like to give medicine and milk to their baby, which is not appropriate. Because many drugs are not suitable for taking with milk, such as sulfonamides, and use with milk will reduce the effect of drugs.
9. Observe after taking medicine
Some cold medicines can cause side effects of rapid heartbeat, so be careful to observe after taking the medicine.
10. Stop taking medicine immediately if you feel unwell
Some babies with physical allergies may have allergic reactions after taking antipyretic, analgesic or antiepileptic drugs. Therefore, if you have any discomfort after taking the medicine, you should stop taking the medicine immediately and consult a doctor.
