While there could be a number of baby care centres in your city, baby care at home is one of the best options for a personalized and effective newborn baby care.

The fragility in the case of a small baby can be very intimidating and hence small baby care must be carefully executed.

There are a number of mothers and baby care centres where an individual can contact to get some external help.

However, if you have not opted for baby care centre and decided to do baby care on your own here are some tips that may act helpful.

Washing the hands: Make sure to wash your hands or at least use a sanitizer before handling a small baby.

Since the immune system is not that strong in the case of a newborn, there is every chance of getting an infection.

Also, in the case of other people who are handling the baby, make sure that their hands are clean.

Providing the support: The neck muscles are not developed in case of a newborn. This is the reason the babies need support while holding them.

Providing a support with the hand while carrying the baby is a safe way to handle the baby.

Never shake the baby: Shaking the baby while playing can lead to bleeding in the brain which may act as fatal.

Even when it is time to wake up the baby instead of shaking, tickling the feet lightly will wake up the baby.

Securely fasten: Whenever the baby is carried in a stroller or in the car seat, make sure to fasten the baby well so that there is no chance of any form of accident.

Also, try to avoid the roads that are rough or too bumpy

No rough play: One of the essential tips for newborn baby care is to remember that the baby is not ready for any sort of rough play.

Therefore, jiggling the baby on the knee or throwing up in the air is not at all recommended.

So, these are some of the tips regarding how to care baby in the right way.

Apart from these tips, for the all-round development of the baby and to ensure a proper bonding there are other factors too that should be kept in mind.

Becoming a new parent will gradually make you learn a lot of things.

Here are some of the basic things that a parent will come across on a daily day basis.

The mentioned ways may make the process an easy one.

Changing diapers: It is up to the parent to decide whether they will opt for a cloth or a diaper. No matter what is being used, the newborn will make it dirty at least 10 times in a day. In case diapers are being used, there is a list of things that should be kept handy.

• A new diaper
• Fastening cloth (incase pre-fold diapers are being used)
• Ointment
• Diaper wipes

While changing the diaper, lay the baby on its back and change the diaper.

If wipes are not being used, gently wipe the genital area using lukewarm water and cotton.

Here, two essential things should be considered

1. In case of a baby boy be careful while changing the diaper because the exposure of the genital part to the air may make him urinate.
2. In case of a baby girl, consider wiping from front to back to avoid any form of urinary tract infection.

In case any form of swelling or rashes appears on the genital part, rush to the nearest baby health care centre.

Baby bath: This can be a challenging task for new parents hence it is important for parents to know the process.

Before putting the baby in a tumbler of water, make sure to check the temperature of the water as hot water can invite rashes.

Vaccination: This is yet another important step to ensure that the baby is in good health.

There are a number of vaccinations that are administered to the babies to keep it away from developing multiple types of infections.

Food and nutrition: Food plays a very vital role in providing the baby with the much-needed nutrition.

However, for newborns, it is advised to breastfeed for at least six months to ensure proper immunity.
