Holding the Baby Right
Did you know that heres a right way to hold the
new born baby? Yeah! While holding the baby, you
should ensure that the babys head doesnt get
jerk. So, ensure that the head rests on the crook
of your arm and the hand should offer support to
the spine of the newborn. With the other hand,
you can pat, or use it to maintain the feed
position and support your breast or simply keep
it over the chest or tummy. Your touch creates a
sense of comfort and security for the baby.

Gently Rock the Baby
There are times when the baby is in the state of
discomfort. This may be due to their sleepiness
or hunger or pain in stomach. Whether you are
trying to get the baby to sleep or to comfort the
newborn, do not shake the baby vigorously. This
shaking might lead to brain injury. Put yourself
into the habit of the rocking your baby gently
from side to side. You may choose to sing a
lullaby as well.

Be Tender During Playful Activities
You might have seen in people around you throwing
children in the air or jiggling the baby on the
knees. You may have been such a play toy
yourself. But, the baby is not a toy and neither
is ready for such tough game. Hence it is advised
not to be rough and tough on the baby for a year
and half.

Pay Special Attention to Hygiene
Not only you as a mother, but also those who
touch the baby, should follow basic hygiene. Make
sure that you wash or sanitize your hands before
touching the baby unless you had not been doing
any other task than being with your love.

Babys Feed has No Time
In the initial few weeks, the baby needs only
three things proper feeds, ample sleep and your
special touch. A new born baby usually sleeps for
around 16 to 20 hours a day. But, the sleep
doesnt happen at a single stretch. A child may
demand feed every two hours or even sooner, hence
the foremost responsibility of you as a new mum
is to keep yourself ready for offering a feed to
the baby, whenever the baby demands.
