Parenting is one of the important stages of everyone’s life. It’s not that easy to be a parent. Taking care of and handling newborn kids is a very tricky job. While in the hospital, you get help from an expert. But to handle a newborn kid at home, you need help as well as a few guidelines to follow. You also can get help from friends and relatives. If you’re a first-time parent and haven’t spent a lot of time around newborns, then you need to follow a few guidelines. Here we look at how to handle newborn kids if you are first-time parents.
** Before handing a newborn, ensure that you wash your hands properly with sanitizer. Newborns don’t have strong immunity and due to this, there are chances of an infection. Also, you need to make sure that those who handle your newborn should also wash their hands.
** Cradle the head when carrying your newborn and also support the head while carrying the newborn upright or laying down.
** Never shake your newborn while playing with them and also ensure your baby is securely fastened into a stroller, carrier, or car seat.
** Limit all activities that could be too rough or bouncy.
** Don’t throw your baby in the air or jiggle on the knee.
** Bonding is probably one of the pleasurable parts of infant care. Physical closeness can promote an emotional connection.
** Massage is very important and certain types of massage may enhance bonding and help infant health and growth.
