Newborn Baby Health Care Tips: Simple Guide to Keep Your Little One Healthy & Safe

Here are some things to keep in mind:

Instruction

# Wash your hands (or use hand sanitizer) before touching your baby. Newborns do not have a strong immune system yet, so they are at risk of infection.

# Ask everyone who handles the baby to wash their hands.

# Support your baby's head and neck. Hold the head while carrying the baby or when you put the head down on your baby.

# Whether in play or frustration, don't shake your newborn. Concussions can lead to brain bleeding and even death. If your baby needs to be woken up, don't shake them—instead, lift your baby's legs or give them a light stroke on the cheek.

# Make sure your baby is safely secured in a carrier, stroller, or car seat. Any activity that may be too rough or vigorous is limited.

# Remember that your newborn is not ready for rough play, such as kneeling or kicking up.
