Use each feeding as an opportunity to build your newborn's sense of security, trust and comfort. ||The most important thing on growth curves is how your baby grows over time. If he's small but growing at the appropriate rate, there's usually no cause for concern. ||Never pick up your infant by the hands or wrists as this can put stress on the elbows. Lifting under the armpits is the safest way ||Bathe baby for no more than ten minutes in warm water especially if he shows signs of skin eczema. ||Don't let your baby nap in the car seat after you're home as a substitute for crib since it's harder for young babies to breathe in that position ||Set aside time for your partner and share what's happening in each other's life ||Only close friends and relatives should visit you during your first month at home. They should not visit if they are sick ||Most newborns need eight to 12 feedings a day — about one feeding every two to three hours ||The sun is the most important source of Vit D ||Make sure your baby wears a hat if she will be in a cold environment ||

If the child is having a balanced diet, healthy water to drink as described under the same section, he should not be in need of extra vitamins or minerals. One important exception is vitamin D. Our bodies naturally acquire vitamin D from exposure to the direct sun light. If your child is not adequately exposed to the sunlight than he/she will need vitamin D supplementation of at least 200 Units/day.
