👶 Newborn Care Guide

Everything You Need to Know During Your Baby's First Month
Bringing a newborn home is one of life's most joyful experiences, but it also comes with many questions. Every baby is unique, and the first few weeks are all about learning your baby's needs while creating a safe, loving environment. At Baby & Mommy Store, we're here to support you every step of the way.
🍼 Feeding Your Newborn
Newborn babies typically feed every 2–3 hours, whether they are breastfed or formula-fed.
Tips:
Feed your baby whenever they show signs of hunger, such as sucking on their hands or rooting.
Burp your baby after every feed.
Sterilize feeding bottles and nipples before each use.
Never force-feed your baby.
Recommended Essentials:
Feeding Bottles
Bottle Sterilizer
Bottle Brush
Bibs
Burp Cloths
😴 Safe Sleep for Your Baby
Newborns sleep between 14–17 hours a day.
For safe sleep:
Always place your baby on their back.
Use a firm mattress.
Avoid pillows, loose blankets, and soft toys inside the crib.
Keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
🛁 Bathing Your Newborn
Until the umbilical cord stump falls off, give your baby a sponge bath.
After that:
Use lukewarm water.
Choose a mild baby cleanser.
Dry the baby gently with a soft towel.
Moisturize if needed with baby lotion.
👶 Umbilical Cord Care
The umbilical cord usually falls off within 1–3 weeks.
Remember:
Keep the area clean and dry.
Fold the diaper below the cord.
Never pull the stump.
Contact your doctor if you notice redness, swelling, foul smell, or discharge.
🧴 Skin Care
A newborn's skin is delicate.
Use:
Fragrance-free baby lotion
Gentle baby shampoo
Soft cotton clothing
Baby wipes designed for sensitive skin
Avoid using adult skincare products.
🌡️ Room Temperature
Keep your baby's room comfortably cool.
Dress your baby in one extra layer than what an adult would wear.
Avoid overheating.
🚼 Diaper Care
Change diapers every 2–3 hours or whenever they become wet or soiled.
To prevent diaper rash:
Clean the area gently.
Allow the skin to air dry.
Apply diaper rash cream if needed.
Choose high-quality diapers that fit properly.
❤️ Bonding With Your Baby
The first month is an important time to build a strong emotional connection.
Spend time:
Holding your baby skin-to-skin.
Talking and singing softly.
Making eye contact.
Smiling and cuddling often.
These simple moments help your baby's emotional and brain development.
