1: Travel
Babies thrive when there is a schedule. To keep your baby happy and healthy, it is important to maintain a regular schedule.
2: Sleep
Sleep is the best medicine. Although it may seem unbelievable to first-time parents, a healthy nap-time routine is essential for good sleep. Babies who are tired have trouble falling asleep and are more likely to wake up at night. Start establishing a regular sleeping schedule as soon as possible. Although your newborn may not be ready to follow a schedule, it is important to establish a routine early so that you know what your baby needs in terms of good sleep.
3: Skin Care
Children under 6 months old should not use sunscreen. You can protect their skin by keeping them shaded until they reach adulthood.
4: Siblings
Focus on the positive. New baby brings about many changes in the family. Your older children should be praised for their patience, understanding, and help the baby adjust quickly.
5: Play
It’s okay to stick with the basics. Patty-cake, peekaboo and other games have been around for years. They are great ways to keep your child entertained while also helping them grow their brains. Your child will enjoy the stimulation and respond well to it.
6: Pets
The new pet must be adjusted to their family. It is a good idea to bring a blanket or an outfit that the baby used. However, it will also help Fido get back into his routines. For a few days, skipping the morning walk can be fine. However, the animal will become irritable if he is not given enough exercise. Stick to a routine that works for you.
7: Food
Start your child with vegetables, not sweet fruits. To get your child’s nutrition on the right track, introduce vegetables as soon as you begin solid food.
8: Diapers
Diaper rash is something that most babies will experience at some point in their lives. The red, chapped skin can be caused by new foods, wet diapers, side effects from medicines, or a combination of both. It is very painful for baby and distressing for mom and dad. The best remedy? Dry bottom is the best treatment. Even if you have to go naked for a few minutes, ensure your child has a dry bottom after every diaper change. You can change diapers more often and use an over-the-counter product to soothe and calm your skin.
9: Crying
Babies cry. It’s no secret. It is their only way of communicating. After you have checked the basic needs of food, diaper, and noise, remember that your baby has been in a safe, quiet place for 40 weeks. Wrap your baby in a blanket and gently rock them. This little nest can be used to calm a fussy baby and provide some sleep.
10: Swimming
Baby needs gentle baths every other day. You may need to take a shower daily to get up. To protect baby’s delicate skin, skip the soap and instead use a gentle cleanser made for babies.
