Ways on how to care for babies when they are burping, travelling, sleeping. etc.,

BABY CARE :)

Things you need to know. .

BURPING
Best thing is to place baby on your shoulder with her chest resting on your shoulder bone, support baby’s bottom with your arm or hand. Gently pat or rub baby’s back in a circular and upward motion. You can also lay baby down across your lap with her head resting on one thigh and stomach on the other. Burping should be done every after feeding.

TRAVELING
Always use an approved safety car seat when taking baby on a ride. Infants below 12 months should be placed in a rear-facing car seat. Use the correct harness snug. Pad the sides of the seat and between baby’s crotch with rolled up diapers or blankets. Do not carry heavy, unrestrained luggage around baby’s seat. Remember to buckle up too!

SLEEPING WITH BABY IN BED
Infants must be placed on their backs to sleep. Avoid placing baby down on soft, fluffy bedding such as pillows, comforters, or water beds to avoid suffocation. A firm mattress with zippered covers is the best bedding. Install bed rails or arrange the bed such that one side of the mattress is flattened against the wall. Don’t allow older siblings to sleep with a tiny baby.

HOLDING A NURSING BABY PROPERLY
Hold baby using the cradle or semi-reclining position, with her head in the crook of your arm. Firmly support baby’s back with your forearm and buttocks with your hand. Use your other hand her head and prevent it from flapping backwards. Her whole body should be facing you and her head should be in straight line with her body, not dropping back.
