So here is our ABC’S of Newborn Baby Care- Tips and Tricks
Teamwork: The first and most important part of raising a baby, that you need to understand is that you and your partner are together in this. Help each other in the most trivial task concerning the baby. This will even out the load and also help you attain a stress-free environment.
It is normal for your child to have an irregular sleeping pattern: It is perfectly normal to wake up after every two hours. Yes, it is! Stop fretting about it. Other than eating the only work your infant must be doing is sleeping. So try to relax if your infant sleeps more or sleeps less compared to other kids.
Sneak in a nap with your kids: Since we are talking about sleep, it is obvious that you must be terribly tired and sleep-deprived. One of the best methods to catch up those missing hours to nap while your child is sleeping. If you know that your kid has a schedule do not hesitate to sleep in those golden hours.
Crying: Are you always stressed about the fact that the constant crying of your kid will harm him or result in any problems? Then you need to calm down. Crying is their only method of communication. If your kid is hungry, sleepy, or needs a diaper changed, then all it can do and all it will do is cry. It is their only method of capturing your attention.
Rashes: The skin of newborn babies is very delicate and soft. So if your kid has a diaper rash stop fussing about it, you are not a careless or bad parent. It is natural to happen since they are delicate and soft. Try to recognize what kind of material and powder is more effective for your kid, and use that.
Hiccups: It seems unnatural to us when newborn babies hiccup so much. Though doctors are not able to point out a specific reason for it the general reason for it is the miscommunication between the brain, diaphragm, and the abdominal muscle. Hence there is no need to worry about it all the time. It is natural and harmless.
The color of poop: Never thought that you will be amongst those people who discuss the color of poop and the bowel movements of your kid but here you are! Welcome to parenthood. It is fine for your kid to have poop of different shades in a row. Also, the fact that it is not a bad sign if your kid poops four to five times a day. Every infant is different and there is no specific number as to how many times should it happen in a day.
Bathing: Newborns are very delicate and if you are new at it then it will look difficult. Initially, you will have to use a warm damp washcloth. If you intend on giving your newborn a tub bath then make sure that the water is warm, not cold or hot as their skin is very delicate. It is normal for your infant to cry but if it is an enjoyable experience for them, then there is no harm in letting them linger in water in your presence. Make sure that you do not bathe them often as it can dry out their skin.
Newborn baby care may seem quite trickly in the initial days after birth as they are very delicate. However, with little practice, patience, and love in your heart you will be the pro in managing the baby. Besides all the mentioned advice, try to relax and enjoy these moments with your newborn as much as you can and trust your instincts. Even your parents had no help yet here you are, a parent to a beautiful newborn.
