Study on application of neonatal swimming and swimming exercise and feeling in clinical obstetrics

Objective:To study the significance of the changes of neonates about some clinical parameters after neonatal swimming and swimming exercise and feeling.Methods:200 normal neonates were randomly divided into two groups,observed group(swimming and swimming exercise and feeling group) and control group(simply bathing group),to record their born weights and weight before discharging from hospital,the time of first defecation and the meconium turning yellow.Each group included 100 neonates.Results:Before discharging from hospital,the weight was(3 193±399) g in observed group,(2 989±460) g in control group,increasing 47 g and-155 g,respectively,the time of first defecation was(6.05±2.39) hours in observed group,(8.51±4.31) hours in control group,the meconium turning yellow was(39.30±11.72) hour in observed group,(49.52±13.05) hours in control group.There was significant difference between the two groups(P0.01).Conclusion:Neonatal swimming and swimming exercise and feeling can accelerate the babies' growth in early stage.All neonates have no infection.It's easy to be accepted by parents and doctors as an obstetrics service project.
