If your baby’s face, limbs, or body is blue, it is a sign that you should seek immediate medical treatment.
If your baby’s skin appears blue colored, it may be a sign that the lungs or heart are not working properly, and the baby should be seen by a doctor immediately. A newborn’s hands or feet may appear blue when cold, and should quickly return to pink when warmed. Also, the face, lips, or tongue may appear blue during a period of hard crying, but should return to pink once the crying has stopped.
Any yellowness present on your baby’s face, body, limbs, or eye whites will go away on its own.
A yellow tinge to the baby’s skin or eye whites may indicate that the baby has jaundice. A physician should inspect all babies who appear yellow, as soon as symptoms arise. Jaundice is easily treated by physicians, however it can become life threatening if ignored.
It is okay to leave your baby in a wet or soiled diaper for a while.
Leaving a baby in a wet or soiled diaper may lead to a condition called diaper rash. Diaper rash is a red, tender looking area on your baby’s bottom or genitals. This may cause your baby to be fussier then normal, particularly when the area is washing or touched. It may also become infected if not treated properly.
If you have concerns about your baby’s health, you should:
A)
Ask a friend, parent, or someone who has raised a child
C)
Call and schedule an appointment with you pediatrician
D)
Wait it out and see what happens
While the internet and people with child raising experience are always a great source of information and support, no one knows your baby like you and your pediatrician. Questions or concerns about your baby should always be addressed by a doctor who is familiar with your child. Additionally, do not ignore your parental instinct. If you feel something is off, it is worth investigating.
What hormone do pregnancy tests detect?
C)
Human Chorionic gonadotropin
Pregnancy tests are designed to tell if your urine or blood contains a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This hormone is produced right after a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of a woman's uterus.
Women produce eggs every year they age.
A woman is born with all of the eggs she will ever have so as she ages, she has fewer eggs and the percentage of genetically normal eggs declines.
