Make sure you are doing the right thing for your baby
Taking your baby home for the first time? Make sure you are well aware. Remember, when it comes to your baby, even little things matter.
Be cautious about those nappy rashes that your child may develop. Do not ignore nappy rashes as they cause discomfort to your baby and may make it irritable and cranky. Nappy rashes occur due to high frequency of skin contact with stools and urine. Make sure that you use disposable nappy for your baby which is not only high quality but are also soft in texture to ensure baby’s comfort. Using simple Vaseline on your baby’s skin to prevent direct contact of skin to the nappy would help greatly to prevent rashes on your child’s skin. You can apply a zinc oxide based cream, incase, your child develops rashes. Use the nappy creams very liberally and frequently. Do not use talcum powder around the nappy area. If you notice that rash/es are not getting better, then, you must contact your doctor immediately.
Another thing that is extremely important is to massage your baby. One of the most common mistakes that new mothers make is massaging their baby everyday using mustard oil and home made ghee or curd. The reason behind this is the age old superstitions that surround childcare in India
