嬰兒喝母奶不會感冒? Janet「專業講解19重點」破謠言
藝人Janet(謝怡芬)2017年10月生下混血兒子Egan,產後不時會分享育兒生活,她6日在社羣網站透露,5個多月的兒子迎來第一次重感冒,外界總是傳言有喝母奶的寶寶不會感冒,對此,護理師友人給她19個建議,「感冒其實對寶寶是好的。」超實用資訊一併分享給所有爸媽網友。

Janet提醒所有父母親,最重要的是要先冷靜深呼吸,即便小孩有喝母奶,也是有可能感冒,「所以不用怪自己,不是你的錯。」據醫生友人表示,寶寶1歲前平均會感冒7次,值得一提的是,嬰兒生病反而有利於身體,加強免疫系統。

發現小朋友身體不舒服後,Janet叮嚀大家一定要不時測量孩子的體溫,結果一旦超過40度,就要立刻通知醫生,如果小孩實在是發燒太多天,請儘快就醫,此外,嬰兒若出現無法呼吸、大口喘氣、嘴巴或手指頭呈現藍色、皮膚開始發紅,務必立刻去醫院。
當寶寶難受的時候,父母親能做什麼呢?Janet建議可以幫小孩泡溫水澡降低體溫,帶小朋友去充滿蒸氣的浴室,多少能舒緩鼻子不通的情況,或者利用空氣加溼器來幫助孩子呼吸,她個人偏好自行吸出兒子的鼻涕,但她也勸大家別常這樣,「會破壞寶寶鼻子裡面的黏膜。」

除了要觀察小朋友是否缺水,Janet提醒大家,還是要記得喂小孩,無論是親喂還是瓶喂都可以,以避免孩子出現脫水的情況,「但他的食慾可能會降低因爲鼻塞的時候不好喝奶。」

Sick babies are no fun.生病的寶寶真的一點也不好玩
So…. when Egan got his first fever, it went up to 39.8C and We. Freaked. Out. ← First time parents… Then, he started getting a runny nose, a cough, some phlegm, diarrhea...the works. Yup, Egan caught his first cold. Egan第一次發燒的時候, 他的溫度高達39.8℃。 我們都快瘋了! ← 不要笑我們好嗎? 第一次當新手爸媽嘛 :) 後來,他開始流鼻涕、咳嗽、有痰、拉肚子等⋯⋯沒錯,Egan人生的第一次重感冒來了。
And now seems to be the season for our lovely friends: Mr. Virus, Ms. Bacteria, Mrs.Infection, Mister Allergy, Miss Pollution…現在真的好像來到了我們生活日常‘好朋友們‘ 的旺季:病毒先生、細菌女士、感染小姐、過敏先生、污染小姐等等⋯⋯。(族繁不及備載)
Some advice we got (after calling several mommy friends, nurses, and doctors late night on a Saturday night after freaking out) and wanted to share with you are the following: 某一個禮拜六的半夜,我們緊張得要命的打好多電話給醫生、護理師、也是當媽咪的朋友們之後,這些是他們給的一些小建議:
Please note: I am NOT a doctor. Neither is @instageorgey , even though he played a doctor on TV and may or may not have single handedly found the cure for the virus in @cwcontainment (You’ll just have to watch the series on Netflix to find out… no spoilers.) So please consult with your actual doctor if you think your baby is sick or has a fever. You know your baby best and if anybody laughs at you for freaking out because you’re a first time mom, sneeze in their face. No don’t. Just kidding. Don’t do that. Just hide a dirty diaper behind their couch. Tee hee ←- evil laugh.但是先提醒:我不是醫生,George也不是,雖然他在電視上有演過一個醫生然後可能(或是可能沒有)自己一個人找到劇裡病毒的抗體⋯⋯啊不好意思我不能劇透,如果你要知道答案請搜尋Netflix觀賞影集【隔離城市】。誒講到哪裡啊?對吼,如果你真的覺得你的小孩有可能發燒、生病或是覺得哪裡怪怪的,趕快打給你的醫生或是帶你寶寶去醫院診所!你是最瞭解你的寶寶的,所以聽你的直覺(然後也不要怕大家笑,畢竟你是第一次當媽媽且什麼都擔心害怕的人,如果有人笑你,請在他們的臉上打噴嚏!開玩笑的啦,千萬別這樣做,把寶寶用過的尿布藏在他們的沙發後面好了,姆挖哈哈哈哈哈哈哈. ← 壞人的笑聲 )。
1. Calm down. 先冷靜2. Breathe. 呼吸3. Remember that colds are “good” for your baby - it helps build up their immune system (Apparently, babies will catch around 7 colds/viruses before their first birthday. Great. Can’t wait…) 要記得,感冒其實對寶寶是”好“的:因爲會加強他們的免疫系統(聽說,寶寶在一歲前平均會感冒7次!)啊呀,真”期待“呢 :(4. Know that a typical virus needs around a week or more to run its course. Ugh. Go away already. 要了解,一個一般的病毒需要一個禮拜的時間纔會好。呃⋯⋯走開啊你!5. And yes, even breastfed babies will get sick. So don’t worry - it’s not your fault. 沒錯,喝母奶的寶寶也是會感冒的啦! 所以不用怪自己,不是你的錯。6. Keep monitoring your baby’s temperature 不時檢查寶寶的體溫7. Call the doctor if your baby’s temperature goes above 40 如果超過40℃,請趕快打給醫生8. Call your doctor if the mild fever lasts for longer than a few days (or honestly, if it gives you a piece of mind, go to the hospital) 如果小孩發燒太多天,一定要去看醫生(你自己決定幾天咯,有的人會覺得早一點去比較放心)9. Check to see if your baby’s temperament is abnormal. You know your baby best. If he or she is acting very strange, go see the doctor 觀察你寶寶的脾氣和活躍度是不是不太一樣。 你最瞭解你的baby,如果他怪怪的,去看醫生吧。10. Give your baby a lukewarm bath to help reduce the fever 如果有一點點發燒,可以幫寶寶泡個溫澡,讓寶寶的體溫降低一點。11. Bring your baby into a steamy bathroom (not actually into the hot shower though!) to help with nasal congestion 有人建議帶小朋友到有蒸氣的浴室內(不是真的洗熱水澡喔),紓緩鼻子不通的狀況。12. Some people suggested a humidifier to help with breathing as well 也有人建議可用空氣加溼器來幫助呼吸。13. I personally love the NoseFrida to suck out some snot. I had to resist trying to suck out his snot ALL the time. It’s so satisfying. But seriously, don’t do it too often. It could injure the membranes in your baby’s nose. But oh man. So satisfying. 我個人超愛用NoseFrida來吸寶寶鼻涕。我真的要忍住不能一直吸Egan的鼻涕,因爲那感覺真的很爽。但真的啦,不要太常吸,會破壞寶寶鼻子裡面的黏膜。但是,呵呵,真的好爽。14. Use the “percussion method” to help expel some of the mucus 用”打鼓“的方法來拍痰15. Keep your baby hydrated (ie. breastfeed or formula feed often) - he may lose his appetite and/or it may be difficult for him to eat because of the stuffed up nose 常常喂小孩(不管是親喂還是瓶喂),讓他常喝,不要讓他脫水。但他的食慾可能會降低因爲鼻塞的時候不好喝奶。16. Check to make sure he’s not dehydrated (does he have diarrhea? What is the consistency? Color? Weight? How often? Is it slimy? ) 檢查確認寶寶沒有缺水 (觀察有拉肚子嗎?什麼顏色?量多少?多頻繁?有沒有黏黏的?) 17. Any difficulty or rapid breathing, blue-ish lips and fingers. Go to the hospital immediately. 如果小孩沒有辦法呼吸、很喘,嘴巴或是手指頭藍藍的。趕快去醫院!18. If there’s any rash, call the doctor or go to the hospital. 如果皮膚開始有一點一點紅紅的,趕快打電話給醫生或是直接去醫院。19. Did I already mention calming down? 我剛剛已經提到要冷靜嗎?
Share any other suggestions you have! I’m sure I will have many more “opportunities” to put them into use. 如果你們有什麼其他的意見或是經驗也可以跟我們分享!我想,未來應該還有很多機會用的到。
