Taking care of a newborn baby is such a stressful thing to deal
with, yet the joy still overcomes the tiredness you may feel. There are
tricks and baby care tips you must know to make the burden lighter.
These simple baby care tips can help you handle your baby properly while
still being a beautiful wife to your husband.
Crying can mean many things:
Experts believed that when a baby cries, it means that you are experiencing stomach ache. However, studies have shown that it can also be the cause of acid reflux. Experiencing this is painful for adults, let alone for
babies. When your baby does constant screaming, back arching, and
spitting up, these may be a sign of acid reflux. It's of utmost
importance to go to a pediatrician to know what really causes your baby
to cry.
It's Okay to Hold Your Baby:
There has always been
this rule that you can't hold your baby too much because he or she might
get over dependent. Ignore this because you can't spoil a baby just by
holding him or her. In fact, babies who are held often are more
satisfied because their needs are met right away. They are more likely
to have a higher self-esteem while growing up. It's the natural thing to
do, so don't hesitate doing it.
Don't Depend On Baby Wipes:
Baby wipes are expensive and can cause irritation of sensitive bums . Instead
of risking your baby's smooth skin, just use a damp cloth. Studies say
that breastfed babies don't need baby wipes because their feces and
urine are low in acid and bacteria. You can easily clean them off with a
damp cloth.
Rapid Sterilization:
You might think that sterilizing bottles is slow and stressful, but it is no more. Make the way to the old house with an expensive sterilizer is not the only way to do it. Just mix everything in the dishwasher, put a little soap, and run it on a hot short cycle.
Babies love music: While you might think that babies can not appreciate the symphonies and melodies, they can. The sound of the instruments and a soft, warm voice can soothe your baby. You can put the CD while on the road and you can even put a baby to sleep.
No Rush for Shoes:
You don't really need to put shoes
on your toddler's feet until he or she can walk. Socks are the only feet
accessory babies need just to prevent their feet from getting dirty.
It's more practical to save the money until your baby really needs them.
With
a little bit of pediatric help and online research for baby care tips,
