Question 1

why is the case of dtga in newborns macrosomic?

Accepted Answer

Two not related: D-tga is not, to my knowledge, associated with syndromes that cause macrosomia. The d-tga is more likely to be isolated, with a separate, hopefully identifiable cause for the macrosomia (?Beckwith-wiedeman? Sotos syndrome?).

Question 2

Question 3

how do i swaddle my newborn?

Accepted Answer

I should draw this: Place a small blanket onto a bed/surface in a diamond position with the top corner folded down. This is where your baby's head will go. Then take on corner at the side and cross it over your baby then tucking it under his bottom. Now take the corner by his feet, cover the feet and bring it up and over the shoulder opposite the side you tucked. Then the remaining corner crosses the body.
