And finally, the long-awaited meeting with your baby took place. You are overwhelmed with emotions and impressions, as well as a lot of new information. After all, you still need to learn a lot, understand a lot and, most importantly, work out in practice.. And the baby, who by the way does not look like they show in the movies, already in the first days of his life drives the newly-made mother into a stupor. It turns out that newborn babies have some features that seem strange to us..

A small list of the oddities of a newborn, because of which you should definitely not panic 1. Constant hiccups.

The reasons for such frequent hiccups in newborns are not fully known, some experts believe that the diaphragm and the baby's brain do not work in harmony, which causes frequent hiccups.. In any case, hiccups are harmless and do not carry any consequences..

Rash on the face.

This is what is called acne.. Effect of mother's hormones on baby's skin. There is no need to try to get rid of pimples. The rash goes away on its own by 2-3 months of a newborn's life.. Simply washing the baby will be enough for facial hygiene..

Frequent sneezing.

Due to the small size of the nasal passages, even a slight nasal congestion can cause a baby to sneeze.. Dry sneezing without mucus speaks precisely of irritation of the baby's receptors.

Endless cry.

The immature nervous system and the primitive needs of the newborn, which he thus tries to tell you, are the main factors in frequent crying.. The baby does not harm himself with this kind of signals, even if he looks very sad..

swollen chest.

The mother's hormone (estrogen) can cause slight swelling of the mammary glands. The phenomenon is temporary and does not require any intervention.. And in fact, young parents should not cause excitement.

loose stool.

Oh yes, and after every feeding. This is also a feature of the digestive tract of newborns and the food they eat.. Breast milk is absorbed by the baby's body very quickly.. But the liquid consistency is the norm for all babies.

Bloody discharge in girls.

All the same estrogen is to blame. Due to the large surge of this hormone, the uterus of an unborn baby can also be stimulated.. That is why in some girls in the first days of life it is possible to observe a small amount of bloody discharge in the diaper.. There is nothing frightening and strange in this process..

Cavity in the chest.

As the child grows, this depression will straighten out.. Experts believe that this may be an inverted lower part of the sternum and you should not panic about this..

Pulsating fontanelles.

The child's circulatory system is improved and developed, thereby causing a pulsation. The soft membrane on the unfused parts of the skull allows us to see this pulsation.. During emotional outbursts, it becomes more pronounced, which is also the norm..

10. Touching the fontanels.

An accidentally touched fontanel will not bring any anxiety to the baby. You should also exhale, you didn’t touch the brain, it’s just a soft membrane that consists of connective tissues. The purpose of such soft areas is the possibility of free movement through the birth canal. So it's definitely not worth worrying, and they will heal soon.

In fact, everything that will happen in the first weeks of a child’s life will seem strange to you, but do not be discouraged, you will soon get used to it..
