What is newborn care?
Caring for a brand new baby can be overwhelming and tiring. It includes adjusting to round-the-clock diaper changes and feedings. Ideally, new mothers should receive significant support from partners, other family members, and friends. The new mother’s partner can and should participate in most aspects of newborn care. Even during breastfeeding, partners can help to ensure that the mother is comfortable and receiving adequate nourishment. Some basics of newborn care include: • Infants need breastmilk or formula only. Breastfeeding offers many advantages to both infants and their mothers, and breastmilk is the best source of food for your baby’s health and development.

Babies should be dressed appropriately for the weather. If parents are wearing shorts, then baby can wear shorts too. Babies should not be overdress
