How many of you are confident you know all the essential dos and don'ts for caring for a newborn? Avoid Upright Holding: For the first three months, don’t hold your baby upright as it can stress their spine. Use horizontal, cradling, or airplane holds instead. Prevent Spitting Up: After feeding, place the baby on their right side or elevate their upper body by 15 degrees. Switch sides occasionally to prevent flat head syndrome. Day-Night Differentiation: Help your baby distinguish day from night by keeping the curtains open during daytime naps, allowing natural light in. No Pillow for Infants: Babies under six months should not use pillows. Handling Spit-Ups: If your baby chokes on milk while lying down, don’t pick them up abruptly. Instead, place them on their right side, clear their mouth, and gently pat them until the issue resolves. Avoid Excessive Shaking: Do not shake your baby, as it can cause harm. Jaundice Care: Differentiate between physiological and pathological jaundice. Sunlight helps physiological jaundice, but ensure the baby’s eyes and sensitive areas are protected from direct sunlight. Dress According to Temperature: Dress your baby in the same amount of clothing as the father, as babies have different temperature sensitivities. Controlled Feeding: Don’t overfeed a newborn. Increase milk gradually as their stomach expands from the size of a cherry.
