Being a mother of a newborn baby is a big responsibility and a very exciting event.
Nail care
Newborn's nails require maternal attention and care about 1-2 times a week, since baby's nails grow quickly. In order to shorten them, you need to buy special scissors that have rounded ends. Toenails should be cut straight, but on the hands - slightly round the edges.
Feeding
If earlier feeding was on schedule, now pediatricians are advised to monitor the needs of the baby himself in order to build a rhythm of life that is comfortable for everyone. A healthy baby usually needs no more than one meal every couple of hours. Therefore, night feedings, alas, are inevitable. It is also important to exclude nipples and pacifiers from your baby's life in the first months of breastfeeding. They can ruin the bite and disrupt breastfeeding.Washing the baby
You need to wash your baby after each trip to the toilet. It is best to wash your baby according to the following instructions:
- Place your baby on your left palm with your belly facing you.
- Place the baby's buttocks under warm water.
- Wash your newborn's genitals with baby liquid soap.
- Then rinse off the lather thoroughly with water.
- Pat your baby's skin dry with a towel or diaper.
Baby clothes
You can either swaddle a newborn, or dress in baby clothes for babies: romper, undershirts and overalls. Pediatricians are more inclined to clothes, because they allow the child to move freely, which has a positive effect on the musculoskeletal system.
