Young parents want their baby to be healthy in all respects. But they forget about the individuality of the baby and his pace of adaptation.
When do newborn children have tears when crying?
The baby in the womb experiences emotions, but does not cry with tears. His eyes are washed by amniotic fluid and retain health.
A little of anatomy. The body of the crumbs after birth is covered with plaque. It protects the skin and all mucous membranes from the invasion of bacteria and microorganisms.
- on the conjunctiva of the eyes
- in the lacrimal ducts
Pediatricians and children's ophthalmologists say that their disclosure occurs from the 2-6 weeks of the life of the newborn. Then the young mother will see the first tears when he was crying. In some cases, crumbs are able to shed tears from the first minute of life in airspace.
- not ripe for independent work
- excessively narrow
- weak functionality
- fat gelatular membrane
- the presence of a pathology or a serious disease
Remove all the discharge carefully with a wool after chamomile infusion, your own milk from the chest or special drops. But before any manipulation, consult with doctors.
For this:
- wash your hands with antibacterial soap
- take a clean cotton pad
- carefully and moderately strongly press a little bit of a little finger from a point under the inner corner of the eye to it
- repeat the actions for the second eye
- perform massage up to 5 times a day
When an opaque discharge accumulates in the baby's eyes, be sure to wash it, for example, with a solution of furatsilin, and remove it with clean dry wool.
For their cleaning in the conditions of the clinic, a children's ophthalmologist performs a micro operation for a baby under local anesthesia. Special drops in the eye are dripping the latter and triggers. Its task is to push out a traffic jam from the channel or expand it for its free passage. The procedure is painless and gives the desired result.
Tears in newborns: Komarovsky
If you see tears in the eyes of crumbs or opaque separated earlier, then he has dacryocystitis. In other words, a blockage of the nasolacrimal canal. More often, it occurs on one of the eyes and is capable of manifested on the second after the treatment of the first.
Komarovsky recommends for dacryocystitis:
- massage of the nasolacated channel to the child,
- washing the eye with a solution of furatsilin, if purulent discharge accumulates, or saline, if the liquid in the eye is transparent,
- mandatory removal of excessive fluid from the eye with clean cotton wool
For example, that when crying in a child, there is a rinse of the nasolacase canals from bacteria. Because in his tears there are enzymes responsible for their elimination. That is, weeping about 5 minutes to a small person is good for health.
We add one thing - the sensitivity of the mother’s heart in communication with the newborn is alien to a man, even a certified medical doctor.
