Newborn care. As a new mother we don’t know what to do and how to take care of that little person on our laps.. with so many people giving so many suggestions it becomes overwhelming. As I have gone through the same doubts and struggles as you all are having right now..Sharing few newborn care tips and hope it helps all our expecting and new moms..
** before starting massage to your little one talk to his pediatrician. ** avoid giving harsh massage with besan or any other thing, just use oil and gently massage. ** brush their hair with soft brush ** clean their gums and tongue with soft wet muslin cloth. Start maintaining their oral hygiene even before those little teeth start coming. **avoid using ear buds instead use wet cloth and clean the outside of your baby’s ears. **apply body lotion and avoid powder on face as your little one might inhale it. **do not put kajal in their eyes. You can just put normal tika on their hands/legs. **cut their nails regularly so that they don’t scratch their face and leave any marks. for cutting their nails use the baby nail clipper, you can cut their nails after bath as their nails will be soft. **before putting diapers wipe the genitals properly. Make sure you pat it dry before putting a new diaper. You can apply coconut oil or rash cream if your baby has a rash. **give them a sponge bath before bed time at night for them to relax and fall asleep.
Keep them clean so they feel relaxed and happy and don’t worry about their colour ,complexion or anything. Remember it should all be about hygiene.
