21. Boogers
You can soften the boogers and eliminate them by applying a warm towel to the nostrils. Consider rhinitis and seek medical advice if your baby has a lot of boogers every day and other symptoms.
22. Bathing
Bathing a newborn baby should keep the bathroom temperature stable in order to keep the baby from getting a cold. Use a baby bathing wash and shampoo to help clean, keep the water temperature at 37-40 degrees, clean the baby's skin folds, dry the body quickly after washing, and keep the baby stay warm.
23. Baldness on Pillows
Pillow baldness in babies is a common occurrence that usually improves gradually around the age of one, so don't be too concerned. When the head rubs against the pillow, a portion of the hair is easily rubbed off. Furthermore, if the pillow is too firm, it will cause pillow baldness, so choose a pillow that is appropriate for your baby.
24. Poop in Green
Green poop is normal for newborns in general.
There are several reasons for this, including:
First, formula-fed babies may experience indigestion and should take probiotics.
Second, if the baby isn't getting enough milk, increase the amount fed.
Third, pay attention to the abdomen to stay warm. Cold also causes more frequent poops.
Fourth, consider whether it is the result of a recent food change in which the baby ate vegetables or other foods that cause intestinal discomfort.
25. Teething
Teething usually begins around the age of six months.
However, occurs at different times for different babies. Some babies are born with two teeth, while others grow them later. Teething is considered normal if it occurs before the age of one.
26. Mosquito bites
A newborn baby's skin is extremely delicate, making it a favourite of mosquitoes and insects.
Apply ointment or baby mosquito repellent, or wash the bites with soap and water, to relieve itching and swelling. Avoid scratching the skin, which can lead to cross-infection.
27. Rash on the nose's tip
Newborns have small, pinhead-shaped, yellowish-white granules called milium on their foreheads, cheeks, and nasal tips a few days after birth. To avoid infection, don't picking at it. The milium usually disappears on its own after a few weeks.
When it comes to Christmas, everyone's mind must go to the image of Santa Claus riding a sleigh in a red sweater, delivering presents to every little child to the sound of Christmas bells. "It's not like Christmas," northern hemisphere visitors say when they visit Australia in December. In fact, unlike in the northern hemisphere, Christmas is celebrated in the winter. Australia has its own unique Christmas customs at the start of summer.
It's really hot
Because Australia is in the southern hemisphere, which has the opposite seasons as the northern, the arrival of Christmas also means the arrival of summer. In Australia, the image of Santa Claus in a sleigh on a snowy day does not exist, and this is the time when Santa Claus can be seen in various vehicles such as motorcycles and cars. Traditionally, Santa Claus wears a red sweater to keep warm, but in Australia, where Christmas is in the summer, Santa Claus is more likely to be seen with a surfboard and shorts.
However, snow remains one of our Christmas elements
With the arrival of Christmas, shopping malls begin to offer discounts, and snow elements will decorate the entire mall as if it were a winter wonderland. We also sing snow carols that mention winter, snowmen, and snowflakes.
We will attend a beach party
Every year, a large number of people flock to Bondi Beach to celebrate Christmas by playing on the sand, donning Santa hats, and spending the day surfing. Christmas trees are also placed along the beach to create the atmosphere of a summer beach Christmas.
Will also barbecue with family
While the northern hemisphere is eating roast turkey and baked potatoes for Christmas, we are preparing outdoor barbecues and anticipating a prawn run. Seafood platters are a popular Christmas treat in Australia. People go to the local market to get the freshest prawns, then spend time relaxing around the grill with their families.
Take a road trip with the sea
Christmas is also a time for family reunions. Depending on the distance, Australians frequently go on a Christmas road trip as a family, bringing snacks and drinks prepared ahead of time, leaning back on soft pillows, and then spending time relaxing with the kids on the road while admiring the beautiful scenery.

Christmas, which is celebrated on December 25, is a Christian holiday that commemorates the birth of Jesus. Outside the church, Christmas has been transformed into a folkloric holiday and is often referred to as the "Christmas and New Year's season" together with the similarly dated New Year's Day. The custom of celebrating Christmas has spread worldwide with the influence of modern Western countries.
This non-religious folklore event, which does not require the acceptance of Western culture, is free to participate in, and incorporates the special customs of each country, forming several familiar Christmas symbols such as Christmas trees, Christmas hats, Santa Claus, Christmas gifts, etc., and has become one of the major festivals at the end of the year. Let's take a look at the Christmas customs of these 10 countries.
1. The United States
On Christmas Eve, there is an interesting American tradition where the church choir will come to the door of the congregation's house and sing Christmas carols in unison, and the family will go out to greet them warmly and sing together. Afterward, the hosts invite everyone in for a rest and refreshments. The host will then leave with the choir and go to the next house to sing carols, and the procession will grow larger and larger.
2. Canada
Canadian children can enjoy a variety of Christmas-themed floats and bands in the Christmas parade from late November to December, as well as the Winter Festival of Lights starting in November, which features not only a light show but also a variety of fireworks displays. Don't miss one of the most popular Christmas activities, sleigh rides, a Christmas memory for Canadian children from childhood to adulthood. After all the fun and games, a piece of butter tarts, a Canadian favorite Christmas treat, will instantly dissipate any tiredness.
3. The UK
British Christmas is very food-oriented and various Christmas specialties including roast pork, turkey, Christmas pudding and Christmas mince pies are on the British table. Mince pies are one of the indispensable desserts during Christmas, originally filled with meat and in the shape of an oval, which can be eaten either hot or cold.
4. France
The French, known for their romance, pay much attention to the Christmas atmosphere. Flowers, candles, silver forks, and crystal glasses are essential for the Christmas table. In addition to the Christmas tree, a model of a manger (It is said that Jesus was born in a manger.) is also prepared for Christmas. In addition, French families cut the trunk of a fruit tree, a symbol of fruitfulness, and light it as firewood on Christmas night to pray for a good harvest in the coming year, convinced that the longer the stake burns, the more good luck it will have in the coming year.
5. Sweden
Christmas is not complete for Swedish families without crumpets, which are traditionally made with cinnamon, eggs, milk, and butter. Additionally, the Christmas elf "Tomte", a character from Nordic folklore with a long white beard and conical or knitted hat, is a common sight at Christmas in Sweden. Tomte is almost identical to Santa Claus except for his shorter height. In Sweden, the Gävle goat is the symbol of Christmas. A tall, straw-made goat that is erected in the same spot every year, its presence heralds the start of the Christmas season.
6. Philippines
Christmas lights are indispensable, but if you ask which country's lights are more stunning, then of course you have to mention the Christmas lights in the Philippines. Every year, San Fernando in the Philippines hosts the "Ligligan Parul", a dazzling display of lanterns symbolizing the Star of Bethlehem, with each parol consisting of thousands of rotating lights that light up the night sky, making San Fernando the "Christmas capital of the Philippines."
7. Japan
The Christmas atmosphere is strong in Japan as well, but unlike other countries, instead of sitting around the table with family and sharing turkey, Japanese people prefer to go to KFC for fried chicken. This started with a marketing campaign in 1974 when Christmas was not very popular and the turkey was hard to find locally. KFC's advertisement took this opportunity to shape the idea that authentic Christmas food could only be eaten at KFC, which attracted many Japanese people to line up and gradually became one of the Christmas foods for Japanese people.
8. China
Unlike the turkey and Christmas pudding that are part of the Christmas dinner in the West, the Chinese have more Chinese food on their Christmas table. At this time of the year, major shopping malls are decorated with Christmas elements, and various Christmas trees and lights decorate the streets at night. "Peaceful apple" is also one of the characteristics of Chinese Christmas, because the pronunciation of apple is similar to the pronunciation of peace, people send each other "peaceful apple" to express their wishes for "peace and safety" to their friends and family.
9. Chile
The Chilean people have a cold drink called "Cola de Mono" for Christmas. In Chileans, Cola de Mono means monkey's tail and is a cold drink similar to eggnog. It is made from coffee, milk, eggs, wine, and fermented grapes. No one knows why it is called "monkey's tail."
10. Australia
Unlike the northern hemisphere where people spend Christmas in winter, Australia in the southern hemisphere celebrates Christmas in summer. Just in time for the summer holidays, Australians usually take a family travel or beach vacation to beat the heat. A turkey dinner or a beer and seafood barbecue with the family is one of the Christmas celebrations, as well as Pavlova and Christmas plum pudding, Australia's must-try Christmas desserts. And don't miss the close encounters with native animals like koalas and kangaroos to celebrate Christmas.

The baby can sleep on the pillow, but only if the baby is more than three months old.
Because the baby's head, neck and shoulder back are at the same level within three months, there is no need to pillow. So let the baby sleep on a flat bed without pillow, which is the most comfortable state. Premature use of pillows for your baby will change your baby's sleeping habits, affect the development of the spine, and easily lead to hunchback. And because the baby is too small to flexibly control the body, it is easy to be covered by the pillow when sleeping, and it is easy to suffer from hypoxia, even suffocation. Three months later, the physiological curvature of the baby's spine gradually forms. At this time, giving the baby a pillow helps to improve the comfort.
At the same time, when the baby sleeps, it helps to keep the respiratory tract smooth and improve the sleep quality. The pillow also helps the baby sleep head shape, prevents head deviation, and is beneficial to the baby's growth and development.
