应付您的宝宝的哭闹-healthinformationtranslations.pdf

Coping with Your Baby’s Crying All babies cry, but some babies cry more than others. Sometimes you can tell that your baby is crying because he or she is hungry or uncomfortable. At other times, you may not know why your baby is crying. Babies use crying to communicate their needs. Crying peaks at 2 months and a baby can cry up to 3 hours a day. When your baby starts crying, try to stop the crying. By responding to the crying quickly, you may keep him or her from getting too upset. You will not “spoil” your baby by doing this. Common causes of crying are wet or soiled diaper, hunger, gas, feeling too warm or too cold, or illness. Try these tips: • Check diapers often and change when they are wet or soiled. Your baby should have at least 6 wet diapers a day. • Check clothing or diaper for fit. Make sure the diaper is not too tight or clothing is not irritating the skin. • Check for hunger. Your baby needs to eat every 3 to 4 hours and may want more food. • Burp your baby during and after feedings to prevent gas. • Check your baby’s mouth and throat for white spots. This is a sign of infection. Call your baby’s doctor. • Check for sweating or coolness. Add or remove blankets and clothing as needed. If you have concerns about your baby’s crying or health, call your baby’s doctor. 1 应付您的宝宝的哭闹 所有宝宝都会哭闹，但是有些宝宝比其它宝宝哭闹更凶。有时，您可分 辨宝宝哭闹是因为宝宝饥饿或者不舒服。其他时候，您不一定知道宝宝 哭闹的原因。宝宝通过哭闹来表达自己的需要。哭闹在 2个月大时达到 高峰，宝宝一天哭闹可长达3个小时。 您的宝宝开始哭闹时，请设法阻止其哭闹。您迅速对哭闹作出因应，即 可防止您的宝宝过于不安。这么做不会“宠坏”宝宝。哭闹的常见原因 是宝宝小便或大便了、饥饿、胀气、感到太热或太冷、或者宝宝生病了。 请试用以下诀窍。 • 经常检查宝宝的尿布，发现宝宝小便或大便后，请予更换。宝宝每天 至少应该尿湿尿布六次。 • 检查宝宝的衣服或尿布是否合适。确定尿布没有包得太紧，衣服对皮 肤没有刺激性。 • 看宝宝是否饿了。宝宝每隔3 到4 个小时需要进食一次，哭闹可能是 因为饿了。 • 喂食过程中和喂食后给宝宝拍嗝，防止胀气。 • 检查宝宝的嘴和喉部是否有白斑。白斑说明有炎症，要立即打电话给 宝宝的医生。 • 检查宝宝是否太热或太冷。按照需要增减毯子和衣服。 如果对宝宝的哭闹或健康有疑问，请打电话给宝宝的医生。 Coping with Your Baby’s Crying.
