Essential Newborn Care Tips for the First Month

Welcoming a newborn into your family is one of life's greatest joys, but it also comes with significant responsibilities. Here are essential tips from our professional baby care team at Shalom Care Mumbai.

Feeding Schedule

Newborns typically need to be fed every 2-3 hours, whether breastfed or formula-fed. Look for hunger cues like rooting, sucking motions, or fussing.

Sleep Safety

Always place your baby on their back to sleep. Ensure the sleep surface is firm and free of loose bedding, pillows, or toys.

Hygiene and Bathing

Until the umbilical cord stump falls off, give sponge baths only. Keep the cord area clean and dry. Once healed, gentle baths 2-3 times a week are sufficient.

When to Seek Help

Professional baby care support can make a tremendous difference in those early weeks. Our trained caregivers provide round-the-clock support for newborns and mothers.
