Newborn babies are often stamped with footprints. Does mom know why? What are the functions? Women with children will understand that after giving birth to a baby in their labor room, the nursing staff will take out a notebook or something else and press the baby's footprints on the wall. Some mothers don't understand, what's the use of pressing that footprint? Some mothers think this is very memorable and will continue to take photos with their mobile phones to commemorate it. In fact, pressing the footprints of newborn babies is not the personal behavior of nursing staff, nor is it to leave a memorial, but the basic requirement of hospitals, and its functions mainly include the following points:

First, the hospital for the record

Adults do everything with their own signatures to reach an agreement with each other, but babies will not sign when they are born, just leave footprints. This footprint is used by the hospital to file the baby myself, just for the convenience of investigation and evidence collection in case of any dispute in the future. Therefore, this footprint is not a personal memorial for nurses, nor is it a memorial for treasure mothers. But it should be taken into account that the hospital left a souvenir for the baby.

Second, avoid holding the wrong child.

Although there are various countermeasures to avoid holding the wrong baby in the hospital now, doctors give birth to too many babies every day, which gives them an extra layer of countermeasures and a sense of security. Moreover, newborn children are similar in appearance, which is really difficult to identify, so the baby's footprint is an accurate identification code, which is conducive to determination.

Third, find the sub-voucher

Another important function of leaving footprints is to control the disappearance or abduction of babies. And there are many such cases over the years, and there are more and more information on the Internet. Therefore, it is indeed a tragic situation, and footprints are a very important distinguishing standard. I believe many mothers have had such doubts. Since they want to keep it as evidence, why not leave fingerprints and footprints? In fact, if you pay attention to the baby's hands, most of them will hold small fists after birth, and the fingerprints on the baby's fingers are also blurred. If you force your baby's hand to leave fingerprints, it is likely to hurt your baby's delicate fingers. The footprints are clear and easy to operate.
