The Basics of Body Care for the Newborn

New parents are afraid of how to take good care of a baby with a fragile body. If you focus on the basics of newborn care, you can build the confidence of doing the tasks yourself. Of course, you can always request professional assistance if you need a helping hand.

• Keep It Clean
  Keeping your baby’s body clean is beyond regular washing. Exactly, how would you wash your baby? How would you clean the poop and urine safely? Would you touch the sensitive body parts? If you master the basics of cleaning as a part of newborn care in a few weeks, you’ll become more proud as a parent.
• Keep It Safe
  The delicate and sensitive skin of your baby requires safe products, safe clothing, a safe environment, and safe touching. You may put your child in a crib if you’re afraid of lying down on her or him in your bed. A night nurse can help you on watching over your baby during your rest time.
• Keep It Tidy
  Follow the basics of hygienic clothing for babies. You may use disposable products or washable baby wear or accessories. As long as they are safe, neat, and good to look at, you can use or reuse baby stuff. You would want to see your cute angel in clean, tidy, and soft clothes.
