Newborn Care Techniques

1. Safe Sleep Practices – Always place the baby on their back in a crib with a firm mattress.

2. Feeding on Demand – Whether breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, follow your baby’s hunger cues.

3. Soothing Methods – Swaddling, gentle rocking, white noise, and skin-to-skin contact help calm newborns.

4. Diapering & Hygiene – Keep diaper areas clean and dry to prevent rashes.

5. Bonding & Communication – Respond to your baby’s cries with love and patience to foster trust and security.

1. Involve Them Early – Let older siblings help with simple tasks to create bonding moments.

2. One-on-One Time – Spend individual time with each child to reassure them of their importance.

3. Positive Reinforcement – Praise them for their role as a big brother or sister.

4. Books & Stories – Read books about becoming a sibling to normalize the experience.

5. Encourage Expression – Allow older siblings to share their feelings and acknowledge their emotions.
