DIAPERING YOUR BABY

• A newborns skin is soft and fine, and needs to
  be handled with care. Diapering the right way is
  very important to ensure that your babys tender
  bottom is safeguarded from diaper rashes. To
  protect your babys skin, practise washing your
  hands before and after every nappy change.
  Changing the diaper immediately after it is
  soiled is of utmost important. Ideally, the
  babys bottom must be allowed to air-dry before
  the next change. If the newborns bottom shows
  signs of redness, apply zinc-oxide diaper cream
  and petroleum jelly before every diaper change.
  Diaper changing might seem complicated for new
  moms. But with a little practice, you'll find
  that keeping your baby clean and dry is easy.

  and correctly

  underneath the baby and wipe the area.
• b) For a poopy diaper Wipe as much as
  possible with the diaper itself, then fold it
  underneath, as above.
• Throw out the dirty diaper
• Dress baby
• Wash your hands again

11
SLEEPING

• Every baby is different, but normally young
  infants can sleep anywhere from 20 minutes to
  three hours at a time. During the first month,
  your baby may sleep up to 16 hours per day. At
  first, many newborns will confuse day and night.
  This is because they are used to sleeping during
  the day, since they find moms movement soothing,
  and staying awake at night when the mother is
  still. It can take some time to adapt, but there
  are ways you can help your baby adjust to the
  real world. During the day, keep your shades are
  up, your lights on and provide plenty of noise
  and stimulation. At night, dim the lights, stay
  quiet and avoid playtime.

12
CRYING

• Most babies cry between two to four hours
  throughout a 24-hour period. It takes time to
  understand what each cry means. Pay close
  attention to your babys schedule and keep track
  of their sleeping, eating and diaper changes.
  Then, you can find out what your baby needs.
  Aside from the big three reasons for cries
  hunger, tiredness or a full diaper keep in mind
  that your baby may also be upset because they are
  overstimulated, uncomfortable or too hot or cold.
  

13
BATHING

• Aside from messy spit-ups and blowouts, babies
  usually dont get very dirty. You should not
  bathe your newborn daily. Just give them a gentle
  bath with a soft sponge or washcloth every two to
  three days.
• BONDING
• Hold them close to your body and provide
  skin-to-skin contact.
• Let your baby hear your heartbeat.
• Talk to them.

14
WEIGHT

• Newborns are expected to lose weight shortly
  after birth because they carry a little extra
  baggage to get through the first few days. Your
  doctor should closely monitor your babys weight,
  but they should return to their birth weight
  after about two weeks. Then, they will gain
  roughly one ounce per day for the first few
  months.
