Not everyone's baby-welcome is so highly publicized (not everyone can be royalty) but it is a huge step for every parent nonetheless. Here are a few tips for those first-time parents who need to know the do's and don'ts of taking care of a newborn baby:
Do
1.It is essential to make your new baby sleep on their back so that you can avoid the risk of SIDS ( Sudden Infant death Syndrome ) which is common in many babies due to the parents negligence.
2.Talking to your baby will help enable them to respond to you, It is said that for newborn care, parents need to babble back whatever the child says so that they know you are listening to them.
3.For a new baby, the parent has to build upon an environment which can involve the child in different activities like that of social interactions where the new baby can touch and listen to different things surrounding him/her.
4.For newborn care, it is essential for the mother and father to pay close attention to the baby's need. Even though the child cannot talk at such an early age, it can make out with the body movements of his parents.
5.For many parents, this parenting tip is important. For newborn care, the child needs to be handled carefully by placing your hand under the neck of the child so that there is no injury caused to the child's head.
6.Every new parent should check the food first before you begin to feed the child. Place a few drops of milk on the palm of your hand to check if it is hot. Also keep in mind that when you change the nipple for the feeding bottle it is sterilized.
Don't
