A. hi taking care of newborn is obviously a challenge when it is your first time,so here I suggest some tips that will assist you in taking care of a newborn baby: 1.As mother's milk is best food for a child, please stick to breastfeeding . feed your child on his or her requirements. 2.once baby is fed ,it is very important to be burped.it will help to prevent gas /colic problem . 3 .As your baby is too fragile ,hold him or her well. I mean, whenever you hold your child ,you should support his or her head and neck with one hand . 4 .Be careful for umbilical cord of your child. if you find redness, swelling,pus or smelly discharge , bleeding from that area please consult your pediatrician. 5.give massage to your child daily ,once umbical cord is completely healed. 6.swaddle your baby well. 7.while playing with or cuddling your baby ,do not throw your baby in air . 8.always wash your hands before you hold your child or child's things. 9 . Always put your child for sleep on his or her back . 10.provide apt sun light at least 20 minutes a day. 11 .dress your child in weather appropriate clothes. 12.trim your baby nails with baby nail cutter. you may use Babyhug brand nail cutter for this which is specially designed for young babies.
