1. **Feeding**: Ensure your baby is fed frequently, whether breast milk or formula, as recommended by your pediatrician.
2. **Sleeping**: Follow safe sleep practices: place your baby on their back to sleep, use a firm mattress, and keep the sleep area free of pillows and blankets.
3. **Diapering**: Change diapers regularly to prevent rashes. Clean the area gently and use a diaper cream if needed.
4. **Bathing**: Bathe your baby 2-3 times a week using mild baby soap. Be careful with the water temperature and support your baby securely during bath time.
5. **Clothing**: Dress your baby in soft, breathable fabrics and ensure they are not too hot or cold. Layering is helpful to adjust to temperature changes.
6. **Health Monitoring**: Keep track of your baby's health by attending regular pediatrician appointments and monitoring for signs of illness or discomfort.
7. **Cord Care**: Keep the umbilical cord stump clean and dry until it falls off naturally.
8. **Bonding**: Spend time cuddling and talking to your baby to foster emotional development and bonding.
9. **Vaccinations**: Follow the vaccination schedule recommended by your pediatrician.
10. **Safety**: Ensure a safe environment by using a properly installed car seat, securing furniture, and keeping small objects out of reach.
