10 Best Tips of Baby Care

Here are 10 of the best tips for baby care in those first few days:

1. Feed on Demand : Newborns will eat frequently, every 2-4 hours or on demand. Breastfeeding or formula feeding is fine, whichever works best for you and your baby. Pay attention to feeding cues like rooting and fussiness.

2. Safe Sleep : Newborns sleep a lot, but not for long stretches. They'll typically sleep for 2-4 hours at a time. Always place your baby on their back to sleep to reduce the risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

3. Frequent Diaper Changes : Change diapers frequently to prevent diaper rash. Look for signs of a full diaper like fussiness, kicking legs, or a bulging diaper.

4. Sponge Baths: Newborns don't need daily baths. Sponge baths are sufficient in the first few days.

5. Skin-to-Skin Contact : This helps regulate your baby's temperature and heart rate.

6. Swaddling : Wrapping your baby snugly in a blanket can mimic the feeling of being in the womb.

7. Movement : Rocking, swaying, or walking with your baby can be calming.

8. Sucking : Offer your breast or a pacifier.

9. Shushing : White noise can be soothing for some babies.

10. Wash Hands Often : This helps prevent the spread of germs to your newborn.
