Caring for newborn babies is a very difficult task. Caring for a newborn is an even more challenging task for new parents. Taking care of a newborn baby not only requires us to have proper knowledge but also to be mentally strong. When older children are sick, can they tell what the problem is? But newborn babies sometimes cry very quickly. In today's issue, we are going to tell you about newborn baby care tips and newborn baby care tips.
1. Holding a newborn baby
When holding the newborn, make sure his neck and back are fully supported. Never pick up newborn babies immediately. Newborn babies can be mentally damaged if they are suddenly picked up or violently rocked in the air.
2. How to put a newborn to sleep
Always let the newborn sleep on his back. It will give them proper sleep and support the back. Do not put your baby to sleep on the stomach as this can make it difficult for them to breathe. It is very important to pay attention to how long a newborn should sleep during the day? So let's find out how much sleep a newborn baby needs:
# About 16 to 20 hours of sleep is essential for a newborn baby. After three months, the baby sleeps at least 8 to 10 hours.
# Newborns should be fed continuously for two to three hours every night. Never do things that make the newborn sleep for a long time and you should not breastfeed him so as not to disturb his sleep.
3. Feeding the newborn with a bottle
It should be noted here that bottle milk should be given to the newborn only when the mother's milk is not enough for the baby or the mother's milk supply is difficult. Before giving your baby a bottle of milk, make sure there are no bubbles in the milk as this can cause gas in their stomach. Never give your baby leftover bottle milk. Always give him fresh milk. When giving formula milk to a newborn, remember that it must contain DHA and other essential nutrients.
4. How to bathe a newborn
Always bathe the baby with soft water. Avoid bathing in cold or hot water. Do not wipe after bathing. Instead, pat dry with a towel. Close both the newborn's ears well during bathing so that water does not enter the ears. If you are bathing your baby for the first time, be sure to take a wise or older person with you.
Another important thing is to take someone with you to bathe the newborn in the first month as it is difficult to handle such a small baby alone.
5. How much milk should be fed to the newborn baby
A newborn baby needs at least 90-95 ml of milk. In the short term, continue to breastfeed your baby. Breastfeed or breastfeed newborn babies every two to three hours. Make sure to breastfeed at least twice, even after waking them up at night. If breastfeeding is not possible due to medical reasons, you can give formula milk. Avoid giving cow's milk to babies before 1 year of age as it can cause indigestion.
