You must have spent many moments eagerly waiting for the birth of your baby for nine months. But the happiness and peace you feel after seeing him cannot be described. You can see in front of your eyes the changes that occur in your baby while eating and sleeping.
The first week after the birth of a baby is very interesting and exciting. The tips given below will prove useful for you.
1. Baby nutrition and food
The mother should keep breastfeeding the newborn baby every 2-3 hours. Every baby’s needs are different. Therefore, understand the needs of your baby and act accordingly.
2. Handling the baby’s head
The baby’s head is delicate, so hold it with gentle hands. Always put the baby to sleep with his head on a soft pillow.
3. Putting the baby to sleep
After birth the baby also gets tired. Therefore, you will not be surprised if your baby sleeps continuously for 19 to 20 hours. Sleep is very important for the physical and mental development of the child.
4. Baby’s fist
A newborn baby’s fingers are often curled into a fist. If you try to open it, the baby starts holding your fingers. Don’t be surprised because this is a natural reaction of the baby.
5. Crying of the newborn
The baby takes the help of tears and his crying screams to understand the people and environment around him. In this way his parents are able to understand his demands and fulfill them. It is a creation of nature that until the baby can speak, his parents understand his feelings (language) through his crying.
6. Newborn heartbeat
The heart rate of a newborn is faster than that of an adult. His heartbeat can be 150 beats per minute. There is no need to worry about this.
7. Social behavior of the child
After birth, the baby will interact with the things and people around him. He will try to touch them, get closer and even try to laugh a little. You can enjoy it to the fullest.
