• When you hold your baby for the first time youre
  unable to describe the feeling. But, once you
  bring your little angel home, it is possible you
  get frantic about how to take care of your baby.
• Especially if you are first time parents. So,
  here are a few newborn care tips to help you out.

• The first guidance can begin from the hospital
  staff itself. While you are still there, you can
  ask the doctors and nurses for advice on what all
  you need to take care of when holding your baby,
  about breastfeeding anything else that you wish
  to ask.
• Doctors and nurses are always there to help you
  out. But, there are a few basic tips about
  handling a newborn on your own.

Hygiene! Hygiene! Hygiene!

• Before handling your baby make sure you wash your
  hands thoroughly or you could also use a hand
  sanitizer. Your baby does not have a strong
  immune system as of yet, and is thus prone to
  infection. Also, make sure that anyone else who
  wishes to hold your baby cleans their hands
  properly as well. A very important baby care tip!

Your baby needs support

• A newborn is really fragile. So, make sure to
  support your babys head and neck when you pick
  up your little angel. Place your hand as a cradle
  behind your babys head when you carry your baby
  and support the head when you carry your little
  angel upright or are about to lay your baby down.

6
Do not shake your baby

• Whether you want to play with your baby or you
  are frustrated, make sure you do not shake your
  baby vigorously. Doing so is dangerous as it can
  cause bleeding in the brain and even death. If
  you wish to wake up your baby from sleep then
  dont do so by shaking. You can opt for tickling
  your little angels cute tiny feet or blow on
  the cheek gently.

7
Fasten your baby securely

• If youre going to carry your baby in a carrier,
  stroller or car seat, make sure to fasten
  securely. Avoid any activity that could be too
  rough or bouncy. Your little bundle of joy is not
  yet ready for it.

No rough play

• Your baby has just been born. Just came into this
  world. Rough play is not exactly the best
  greeting. Even jiggling on the knee and playing
  by throwing your baby in the air should be
  avoided.
