Baby Care Tips for New Born Baby

Diapering the right way: The newborn's skin is soft and delicate, and needs careful handling. It is very important to diaper the right way to ensure that your baby's soft foot is protected from diaper rash. It is advisable to use disposable diapers that help keep moisture at bay, which is the root cause of hives.

To further protect your baby's skin, practice washing your hands before and after each nappy change. It is important to change the diaper as soon as it is soiled. Ideally, the baby's foot should be allowed to air dry before the next change. However, if the newborn's foot shows signs of redness, apply zinc oxide diaper cream and petroleum jelly before each diaper change.

The basics of bathing: A gentle sponge bath is an ideal way to bathe the baby until the umbilical cord falls off and the navel heals. Sponge baths are very easy.

For these, you can easily put a soft and clean sponge or some easily available items like a washcloth, baby soap, towels, disposable diaper and, clean clothes. Once you have selected a flat, safe surface for the bath, fill a bowl with lukewarm water.

Dip a sponge or washcloth into it and pat it gently to moisturize your baby's skin. Use baby soap and gently lubricate your baby's skin and be extra careful not to scratch the eyes, nose, and ears. For these parts, a simple damp cloth will suffice. When done, wash the soap foam with a sponge or cloth. Dry with a soft towel, add baby moisturizer, and wear the baby.
