1. Nutrition for Growth & Immunity Breastfeeding (for infants) or formula as per need. Balanced diet including proteins (dal, eggs, paneer), healthy fats (ghee, nuts), and fruits/veggies. Iron-rich foods like spinach, beetroot, and dates to prevent anemia. Dairy products for calcium and bone health (curd, cheese, milk). 2. Hygiene & Health Care Regular handwashing to prevent infections. Proper vaccination on time. Daily bath & skincare to avoid rashes. Trim nails regularly to prevent germs. 3. Sleep & Routine Ensure 10-14 hours of sleep daily (based on age). Set a bedtime routine with warm milk, stories, or lullabies. Avoid screen time before sleep for better rest. 4. Physical Activity & Playtime Encourage crawling, standing, and walking for strength. Provide age-appropriate toys for brain development. Allow outdoor play (safe environment) for fresh air & sunlight (Vitamin D). 5. Emotional Well-being & Bonding Talk, sing, and cuddle to boost emotional connection. Limit screen time to enhance focus & creativity. Encourage social interaction with family and friends.
If your baby is facing frequent illnesses, weight issues, or developmental concerns, consult a pediatrician for personalized guidance. Healthy habits from childhood build a strong foundation for life!
