SIMPLE BABY CARE TIPS

Simple baby care tips : Tips To Baby Care.

Caring for your baby is a skill. Baby care and nurturing is going to fill your days for the first few month to the maximum, and here are some tips to help you reduce stress and make parenting more enjoyable!
Caring for your baby at home …
* Most newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping and eating. You want to make sure that baby has a safe place to sleep and is put to sleep in a safe position.
* A safe crib will have slats no more than 2 3/8 inches apart and corner posts less than 5/8 inch high above the rails.
* Baby should sleep on a firm mattress that fits tightly in the crib, cradle or bassinet.
* Do not put pillows, comforters or other soft padded materials in the bed under the baby.
* Put healthy infants to sleep on their backs or sides.
* Keep the sides of crib raised when baby is sleeping in it.
* Try to keep sleeping newborns away from pets, other children and large overstuffed toys.
* Don’t let people smoke around your baby. Your baby’s lungs are delicate. Babies are not as resistant to respiratory infections as their parents.
Hopefully these simple tips will help you enjoy your new responsibilities to its fullest and fill your days with joy, not stress.
