Crying is the main guide to ensure which protocol to take or execute to give periodic assistance to a baby.
The cry of a baby is life; Adrián Díaz, advisor on Family, Health Promotion and Life Course of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), World Health Organization (WHO) Ecuador, said that neonatal care protocols are essential to reduce neonatal death.
It is necessary to strengthen the skills of health professionals, especially pediatricians, neonatologists and, above all, that mothers take due precautions during the pregnancy cycle. Díaz stated that newborns or neonates, which are children who are less than 28 days old, must take special care in the first few minutes after birth, which he calls the ‘golden minute’.
Crying is the main guide to ensure which protocol to take or execute to give periodic assistance to a baby. The main factors for the death of newborns are: prematurity, infections, suffocation, congenital defects, among others, he assured. Díaz stated that the newborn should be in an environment free of smoke or polluting substances, since it can be a determining factor in mortality, such as the so-called ‘white death’, in which the child sleeps and does not wake up anymore.
Sepal. Mercedes Vinueza, zone analyst for Hospitals of the Zone 3 Health Coordination, said health professionals must manage strategies and comply with the established protocols to adequately receive children. Pablo Durán, regional adviser to the Latin American Perinatology Center (CLAP), expressed that more than half of the deaths that occur within the first five years of life are concentrated in the first twenty-eight days of life. The first thousand days of infants is a fundamental period to prevent future chronic diseases and that there is adequate development for infant health. For this reason, pediatricians recommend exclusive breastfeeding up to six months and later, including foods rich in nutrients, having positive long-term results, it was possible to know.
