FEEDING
Baby and Mother develops their connection after coming in world through feeding. They say it's very easy and comes naturally to child. Well in some cases it's true, however few mother whose nipple are inside find it difficult to feed as their baby don't get the right place to suck. Though after having milk they are not able to feed.
It's high time ladies, if you fail than better take help from nurse, or some family member as it's very important for your baby and you. It not only helps baby in getting balanced nutrition but also helps you in burning extra kilo's and shrinking your overy like before.
After feeding never forget to burp your baby, it's very very important or else your baby will cry and will not be able to sleep due to gas and indigestion.
If due to any reason you are not able to feed your baby through breast than opt for formula milk.
Few things to keep in mind before feeding formula milk:
- Always go for the best brand recommended by doctors.
- Always serve them fresh made milk in clean utensils and keep the milk powder in air tight jar.
- Read the instruction carefully and make it as instructed.
- Make sure you use sterilized bottle or spoon for feeding your baby.
- After every feed never forget to burp the baby.
- Always serve in small portion and at every 2 or 3 hour, as new born are having small stomach.
Potty Cleaning
Potty cleaning seems a messy job for moms but trust me this need lots of attention and care.
When baby is born ,everything is new, their organs have just started to function in full fledged way.
Baby potty and pee is quite unpredictable as it happens frequently. You have to be on your toes to check it frequently.
I won't suggest to use diaper sold in markets. You better use cotton made soft diaper where any poop or pee can be visible and you can check it frequently.
Use wipes to gently clean it as their skin might get hurt. If baby is on poop for longer it can stick on their bum, then use wipes with some warm water and clean it gently.
Avoid to use any oil, kajal,or any cream for two weeks at least.Never apply powders,lotion,cream oil or any thing in their genitals.
'
Keep their nappy dry and clean always to avoid any kind of infection.
Never rub their genital parts with dry clothes to avoid rashes.
Remember a healthy baby is a happy baby .
Baby Massage and Bed Arrangement
Never do massage after feeding your baby, as it will create pressure on belly and they will vomit.
Make sure you do massage after one or one and half hour or empty stomach. It should be done at least thrice a day.
As they will grow their head will get the desired shape.

Bathing and Clothing
Bathing new born is the toughest thing doting mom face.
I had my share of struggle, I purchased plenty of bathing accessories but fail to get desired result. She cried her heart out when I first took her to bath.
So, here is my advise, hold the baby cautiously as they do lot of crying and resist to have water on their body.
So, here is my advise, hold the baby cautiously as they do lot of crying and resist to have water on their body.
Babies are small and very delicate, it's suggested to use a low base tub with warm water. Now hold the baby carefully in your arm and first start pouring water from feet.
Try to gently pour water on feet then , back and at last on head. As you finished bathing them, wrap them in dry soft towel. Better take help as in process of bathing you will get wet.
Clean them gently and make them wear clothes.
After she is 15 days or a month old, you can apply baby powder,cream and lotion.
Make sure their clothes are easy to wear. The button should be on top, so they don't hurt their back as for most of the time they are sleeping on bed.
Clothes should be soft and of light color ,so they don't have any itching.
Most important thing, when you buy clothes for them, first wash them gently in water , dry it and then make your baby wear them.
Make sure they don't fade color in water, if they do so don't make them wear. After washing sanitize their clothes with antiseptic liquid and dry in sun to keep the smell away.

Massage is very important as it increase their metabolism , increase blood flow and helps in releasing gas and poop from their body.Research have suggested that massaging can help in reducing stress from their body and help in the growth of their body.

After 5 to 7 minute lay them with their chest on upper side and massage from feet to chest then to shoulder and hands. At last cross leg their lag and gently put it together and raise them in sitting position.
At last put some oil on their head and spread it around their head and neck.
You can take your baby for bath in morning after 10 minutes of massage.
Never do massage after feeding your baby, as it will create pressure on belly and they will vomit.
Make sure you do massage after one or one and half hour or empty stomach. It should be done at least thrice a day.
Bed Arrangement
Bed arrangement is very important as there are many myths attached to it.
Baby should never be laid on very hard or very soft bed. It should be neat,clean and normal bed where her backbone can lay straight. Never put anything high below their head.
As they will grow their head will get the desired shape.
