Delayed Cord Clamping: Benefits for Your Baby's Health

Delayed cord clamping has become very popular in the medical practice lately and has many health benefits to the newborn. Traditionally, clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord was done immediately after birth. However, research studies have confirmed that waiting for a few minutes before clamping the cord is healthy for the babies.

1. Increased Blood Volume

Primary benefits of delayed cord clamping is the increased blood volume it provides for newborns. Waiting to clamp the cord ensures more blood is transferred from the placenta to the baby, hence very significantly increasing the baby's blood volume. This raised volume of blood is critical since it increases red blood cells, hence raising the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. An increased blood volume also ensures readiness of newborns to transition better into postnatal life and supports critical functions during the initial weeks of life.

2. Reduced Risk of Anemia

Anemia is a state where the count of red blood cells or hemoglobin is minimal. It is mainly prevalent in infants and occurs in the first months of life. Delayed cord clamping may help prevent anemia by giving this added amount of iron-rich blood, which serves as an input to create additional iron stores for the baby. This iron boosts red blood cell production. Therefore, prevention of anemia at an early stage can have a good impact in its reduction, and iron has been well proven to be an important factor involved in growth, development, and health.

3. Neurological Development

Iron is also essential to the brain's development. A number of research has shown that delayed cord clamping promotes a new improved birth outcome for neurological development of newborns. Delayed clamping will transfer much more iron stores into the babies and provide a phase of rapid growth of the brain. Iron helps to construct myelin, a neurological insulator that surrounds nerve fibers, allowing impulses to travel faster and more effectively between brain cells. This increase in neurological function may enhance cognitive and motor development during infancy, and beyond.

4. Improved Immunity

All this extra blood flow brought about by delayed cord clamping is chock-full of immune cells and antibodies from the mother, giving the infant an enhanced start to developing his immunity. These cells provide natural immunity that will help immunize the infants from various infections and diseases in the early period of their lives. Supplemental immunity from DCC is also highly beneficial since the infants' immune systems are under the developing stage, making their system extremely sensitive to infections. The enhancement of the immune system brought about by delayed clamping assists them in developing immunity with time.

Conclusion

The health benefits of DCC for a newborn include elevated blood volume, prevention of anemia, neurological growth, and the enhancement of immunity. Although not all birth scenarios need to receive DCC, parents can discuss their options with healthcare professionals and choose what may help the best in supporting the newborn's health.

seeing a lot of videos that are like “I didn’t know babies couldn’t have water” so here’s an incomplete list of things you need to know before having a baby

- the obvious, they can’t have water bc milk is incredibly high in water already so excess water leads to over hydration

- babies cannot have honey until 1

- if ur breastfeeding your kid and saving excess milk, make sure you label what you pumped in the morning vs at night bc your body produces different melatonin levels throughout the day and giving your baby daytime milk at night can make them more alert and fuck up their sleep schedule

- idk why ppl keep saying this but swaddling your babies or getting them those baby straight jacket things is not abuse. It chills them out cuz it reminds them of the womb

- babies have a dandruff like buildup on their head called cradle cap, and it’s very easy to deal with and remove with just some baby shampoo, a gentle scrub brush (MADE FOR BABIES!!) and a comb. It does need to be removed tho cuz it can be very painful after a while. This can also continue to happen late into toddlerhood it’s normal

- you have to clean out the creases of your baby’s skin and hands and feet they WILL collect dust😭😭

- you cannot bathe your baby until their umbilical cord naturally falls off. Use a warm damp rag until then

- tummy time is actually very important

- your baby might have a misshapen head at first (not all the time but sometimes) this will either sort itself out or they’ll need a corrective helmet ask your doctor

- I wouldn’t recommend having your baby leave the house very much until they’re at least 6 months old, especially if they’re born near cold and flu season cuz the common cold can kill a newborn

- you’re not an awful horrible person for having postpartum depression and it’s always a million times better to let your baby cry a few minutes longer than normal while you regain your composure than to freak out and give ur kid shaken baby syndrome

- you’re not an awful horrible person for giving your baby formula milk either

- don’t put shoes on your baby it’ll compromise their toe box and balance

- babies put every single thing in their mouths

- the easiest way to burp a baby is to hold them straight up (spine straight) and hold their head a bit higher

- always support their head they barely have necks

- if your baby fights away food, fights tummy time, vomits every single time you burp them, is gaining or losing an unreasonable amount of weight at a time, wheezes after eating, or goes red after eating, chances are they’re probably allergic to the type of milk they’re eating (again ask a doctor but these are just some signs it’s not just colic)

- they will wobble a lot when learning to do things but you gotta fight the urge to help them every single time cuz they gotta learn

- they’re not always spitting out baby food cuz they don’t like it they just don’t know how to eat. Like they don’t know how to push food down they only know how to stick their tongue out so be patient

- babies craniums are broken up into three parts at first that later fuse together, this is to help make birthing easier but it results in a small EXTREMELY sensitive spot in the top of their head that has no protection. This puts their brain at a high risk. Always protect their soft spot

- read to your baby!! Get cute bright colorful sensory books with sight words and read them to your baby it makes such a huge difference in their educational growth and will help them acquire a love for reading early on. And talk to them never shut up just say whatever comes to mind all the time this will strengthen their vocabulary growth also.

- babies poop like a lot. A lot. an unreasonable amount. Bring back up clothes and more diapers than you think

- no pillows or stuffies in the crib and only use a muslin blanket unless it’s especially cold to prevent suffocation

- babies kick reflexively until they’re out of their newborn scrunch (they stay womb shaped for a while) and if your baby is crying and pushing at the swaddle try letting them flail around for a minute

- consoling your baby is not spoiling them ! They need comfort and they will learn to self soothe on their own

- singing lullabies actually works, they can recognize your voice a consistent place of comfort from the womb and the cadence of lullabies is literally engineered to create a calm headspace

- for the love of god do not get boring ass beige toys. Colors are important for their neurological development

- babies are very responsive to praise from a young age so be as supportive of them as you can

- babies get constipated a lot and you have to do like tummy massages to help ease their pain the easiest way is to lay them on their backs and hold one foot in each hand, kick their feet like bicycles, scrunch up, and then stretch their legs out

- holding them on your hip too much will not cause bow legged-ness if your baby is bow legged that was always gonna happen

- they drool so so much and you have to get bibs for them so they don’t get chest eczema

- don’t use scented products on their skin cuz their skin is sooo much thinner than ours

- when your baby first starts sitting on their own never walk away from them without setting up a nest of pillows and blankets around them. Even minor head trauma can mess them up sometimes

- this one is kinda morbid and scary but sometimes babies just die out of nowhere and it’s no one’s fault or anything it’s called sudden infantile death syndrome(SIDS) and it’s about 1.3k deaths on average per year in America so not super common but still very real. 90% of these deaths happen during the first four months however edit: apparently it’s bc of an enzyme deficiency which at the very least you can take steps to try and prevent

- smoking and drinking during pregnancy WILL affect your baby and your breast milk and also might contribute to SIDS cases

- babies sometimes have a big red mark on them somewhere called a stork bite immediately after birth but typically it goes away

- babies can’t see very well for a while after birth and they’re VERY wobbly so they’ll typically bonk their head into your chest and face a lot while trying to support themselves

- female babies might have smth similar to a period the first few days after birth, this is because of the hormone transfer that happens during the birthing process and the days leading up to it

- male babies get random erections for the first few days after birth(hormone transfer again) literally do not be weird about this it’s a baby

- things like weaning your baby onto solid foods, potty training, weaning off pacifiers etc, can actually be directed by the baby and will happen naturally will minimal guidance from the parent(some guidance is still necessary) although I would do individual research into baby led weaning for food to prevent choking

- get those chewy feeding pouches to help with weaning

- the most random things will scare the hell out of your baby don’t take it personal 😭

- baby carriers are life savers (tulas are one of my favorites)

- once babies hit toddlerhood they’re tougher than you think, and a lot of their reaction is based on YOURS. they’re always going to be looking to you for how to react to a situation. Remain calm and if they’re ok they’ll calm down but if they’re genuinely hurt they’ll keep crying

- babies will most likely get ridiculously attached to an inanimate object and you have to keep this thing intact at all costs until they’re old enough to abandon it or they will throw a FIT. I got a lemur plushie from a zoo once and every single one of the kids has bonded their soul with it until about 6 years old and once a month I have to stitch him back up

- don’t compare yourself to other parents. Maybe your kid isnt getting grass fed wild caught north Atlantic cheerios but at least they’re fed. If your kid is alive and healthy and happy you’re doing a good job

- you will need 3 car seats, an infant seat, a grow with me toddler seat, and a booster seat

- getting a good diaper bag is a MUST

- the hair a baby is born with will most likely all fall out or they’ll get a bald spot on the back of their head where they sleep cuz their hair is so fragile and thin but once it grows back it grows back thick

- get like 20 muslin blankets so you always have a backup when the main ones are covered in spit up

- the babies grip IS stronger than yours (keep your hair up and keep pets away best you can)

- your best bet for your teething baby is a pacifier you can put your finger in so you can massage their gums and some chewing toys numbing cream can be dangerous and should be used sparingly

- go ahead and come to terms with the fact you’re gonna have to use a Frida Baby to manually remove snot

- babies can get hair and thread wrapped around their toes and fingers that can cut off their circulation try to make a habit of checking

- don’t hit your kid please it’s nothing but trauma and fucked up coping mechanisms from there pls empathize with your child they’re a person too

- be careful not to pull too hard on their arms and legs(like during play or holding their hand while they walk) and NEVER pick them up by their hands this will very easily cause dislocation

- they might have a little tooth like callous on their lip from their pacifier. This does not hurt them and it will go away but it may hurt during breastfeeding

- breastfeeding will make your boobs different sizes

Yeag that’s all I can think of rn but yk i Will add as I remember stuff ppl are also adding things I forgot in the tags in case you’d like to look thru that as well <3

7 Secret Tips for Perfect Newborn Photoshoots

Welcoming a new baby into your family is a momentous occasion, and capturing those first precious moments through a newborn photoshoot can create timeless memories. At Studio Capture Life, we specialize in creating stunning newborn portraits that you'll cherish forever. Here are some secret tips to ensure your newborn photoshoot is perfect.

1. Timing is Everything

The best time for a newborn photoshoot is within the first two weeks of birth. During this period, babies are usually more sleepy and easier to pose, making it the ideal time to capture those adorable curled-up positions. Plan your session in advance and try to schedule it when your baby is between 5 to 14 days old.

2. Keep the Baby Comfortable

A comfortable baby is a happy baby, and happy babies make for the best photos. Make sure the room where the photoshoot takes place is warm, as newborns can get cold easily. You can also use a white noise machine to mimic the sounds of the womb, helping to keep your baby calm and relaxed. Studio Capture Life ensures a cozy and soothing environment for all our newborn sessions.

3. Prepare Ahead of Time

Preparation is key to a smooth and successful photoshoot. Have all the props, outfits, and accessories ready before the session starts. This includes blankets, wraps, hats, headbands, and any special items you want to include in the photos. Also, make sure your baby is well-fed and has a clean diaper before the session begins to reduce the likelihood of interruptions.

4. Choose Simple and Soft Outfits

When it comes to newborn photography, less is often more. Simple, soft, and neutral-colored outfits work best, as they keep the focus on your baby. Avoid clothing with loud patterns or logos. Many photographers also like to photograph newborns in their natural state, with just a diaper or wrapped in a soft blanket.

5. Use Natural Light

Natural light is the most flattering for newborn photography. If possible, schedule your session during the day when there is plenty of natural light available. Position your setup near a large window to take advantage of the soft, diffused light. At Studio Capture Life, we prioritize natural lighting to highlight the delicate features of your newborn.

6. Be Patient and Flexible

Newborn photoshoots can take time, and it's essential to be patient and flexible. Babies can be unpredictable, so allow for breaks for feeding, changing, and soothing. A relaxed atmosphere will help both you and your baby feel more comfortable, resulting in better photos. Trust your photographer’s expertise and go with the flow of the session.

7. Capture the Details

Some of the most treasured newborn photos are those that capture the tiny details. Make sure to include close-ups of your baby's hands, feet, eyelashes, and lips. These intimate shots highlight the delicate features of your newborn and create beautiful, timeless memories.

Conclusion

A newborn photoshoot is a wonderful way to capture the early days of your baby's life and create lasting memories. By following these secret tips, you can ensure your session is smooth, enjoyable, and produces stunning results.

At Studio Capture Life, we are dedicated to capturing the beauty and innocence of your newborn with our expert photography services. Our experienced team will work with you to create a comfortable and relaxed environment, ensuring your baby's safety and happiness throughout the session.

Contact Studio Capture Life today to schedule your newborn photoshoot and let us help you preserve these precious moments with beautiful, timeless portraits. Your perfect newborn photos are just a click away!

my littlest cousin is very sick with some sort of upper respiratory for like the 20th time in his very short little life. 😢 it's so hard not to mentally backseat parent in a situation like this. at least his mom is always quick with the doctor's visits, that makes me feel better at least.

Baby Info for Writers

Warnings ⚠

⚠ mentions of death, mention of breastfeeding, mention of umbilical cord, human feces/urine, burping up food, baby cries, cussing(me) ⚠

Making this because you do not put the bottle in the microwave.

As previously stated, you do NOT put the bottle in the microwave.

Instead, heat up water in a pot and put the baby bottle with formula/breast milk in the heated water. Check to see if its the right temperature by squirting the milk on your wrist or inner forearm. It can't be too hot or too cold. (Newborn babies will eat 8 or 12 times a day, every 1-3 hours)

▶Newborns do NOT eat solids.

I've seen this too many times. Yes, babies eat but its milk. They don't eat solids until like 4 or 6 moths old. (Idk if demon babies get a pass if its fast aging but at least give it some time and not right after birth.)

▶Bottles

Baby bottles come in different styles and sizes. Best bottles to get for new moms is the ones that have small to big. Usually labeled "grow with baby"

Old fashioned fic/story? Glass bottles.

Feeding: If breast fed, mom will have blanket/ loose shirt/or other kind of easy to remove top to cover themselves while feeding baby.

Depending on era/customs/region: breastfeeding is not covered.

[What's the one lady called? The mother they go to when the (mom) can't feed/has trouble feeding/or doesn't want to feed. There's a name for them but yeah!] ⬇

They were called a wet nurse!

▶Burping: burp baby after meal. Have a rag ready so clothes don't get ruined. Pat their back gently.

They burp up a little bit, sometimes a good amount. (Look up on google for more details.)

Bonding with the baby

This happens after birth and its the skin to skin contact. Make sure the chest area (so the baby can be soothed by the heartbeat) is clean. No perfume or anything that will irritate the babies skin.

Handling a newborn: someone else wants to hold the baby? I better see them with washed hands and up to date with vaccinations. Babies have a weak immune system.

Newborns

[They sleep a lot and cry a lot.]

Remember newborns are fragile, no shaking the baby or you'll kill them. I'm serious, that's a thing. Support the baby's head and neck when cradling or setting them down on their bed/changing bed. (Unsafe to have them on your bed, look it up for more info.)

▶The baby head is very fragile. There are soft spots. Look up baby skull image if you want a better understanding.

���Don't bounce roughly, or toss them up in the air. They are fragile, what the fuck. Don't.

Sponge Baths for new borns. No tub yet.

The whole umbilical cord, gotta wait till it falls off and that they are healed, then the baby can get a bath with a little tub and soft rags/sponge. Warm water, not hot or cold.

▶Hygiene: a small kit for nail care, small soft tooth brush for when teeth come in. Lotion, shampoo, conditioner, and baby perfume.

Extra: They have specific cries. So if they are hungry, need a burp, need a changed diaper, hot/cold, overstimulated, or tired. There is a cry.

They also cry when sick, upset stomach, or when they need to be swaddled.

Sometimes they just cry too. [Sigh]

Sleep schedule is tricky. There is a way to get it in tuned with parent(s) but I'd look it up because I don't know.

Diapers/changing cloth

I'ma say it straight. Babies shit and pee a lot. So your fictional baby needs a lot of diapers and wipes. (Some babies are allergic to the fragrance wipes) Formula fed babies have really smelly dumps. [At least the one I knew]

▶Diapers come in different sizes as the baby grows. (Babies grow fast)

▶Baby bag: for the diapers, bottles, pacifiers, extra clothes, and blankets. Also a changing mat.

▶Cloth: the cloth wrap. Do not re-use. Throw it away. They just shat in it, do NOT re-use.

Baby Powder

If its an old fashioned kind of fic, then yeah. They used baby powder.

*But have you seen the health problems that come with it? Just look into it if you want but do not use baby powder with girls.*

(Health issues and some babies can be allergic)

Clothes

Babies grow fast. So they'll be needing a good amount of clothes. Size depends on the baby's build. (Some are big and some are small) Choose what fits best. Make sure its comfortable and soft.

[You can check a size chart on google or look some at the store if you're really curious.]

▶Newborn clothes: caps (keep head warm) , mitts (so they don't scratch themselves), and little baby booties. Very soft fabrics.

Safety

The most obvious thing.

Crib, stroller, car seat. Parent(s) will make sure that it is the best of the best and that the baby's safety is first.

Or the next best thing if its too expensive.

Baby proofing the house. (Look up the stuff on google)

[lol I just remembered that a good amount of baby proof items are used for cats]

Entertainment

Rattles, stuffed animals, bouncer thing, little play walk thing. (Phones/tablets-idk)

Search up the toys just to be safe but there is a lot. Babies are expensive. Children are expensive.

I hope this helps! Most of the information here is something I learned while babysitting but there was some I had to look up.

~Seline, the person.

10 Steps To Ensure Successful Breastfeeding Experience For New Mothers

Breastfeeding experience for new mothers. Breastfeeding is a vital aspect of a newborn’s life, offering numerous health benefits and nurturing the precious bond between a mother and her baby. However, this beautiful experience can present challenges to new mothers.

Breastfeeding: the top 10 tips

Breastfeeding tips

Breastfeeding is a natural and beautiful bond between a mother and her baby. However, it can also be challenging and overwhelming, especially for first-time mothers. As a healthcare professional, it's important to provide new mothers with the proper education and resources to help them successfully breastfeed their newborns.In this blog post, we will discuss the top 10 tips for breastfeeding, from proper latching techniques to overcoming common breastfeeding challenges. Our goal is to alleviate any anxiety or confusion new mothers may have and provide them with the knowledge and confidence to breastfeed comfortably and effectively.We understand that every mother and baby is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Therefore, we will offer a range of tips and strategies so that new mothers can find what works best for them and their baby.Breastfeeding is not only beneficial for the baby's health, but it also has numerous benefits for the mother, such as reducing the risk of breast cancer and postpartum depression. 1. Find a comfortable position.Finding a comfortable position while breastfeeding is crucial for the mother's comfort and the baby's ability to latch on properly. Before beginning a feeding session, it's important to find a supportive chair or couch with good back support. Many mothers find that using a nursing pillow can be helpful in finding a comfortable position. The pillow can be placed under the baby's head and body to bring the baby up to the level of the breast, which can help reduce strain on the mother's neck and back. Experimenting with different positions, such as the cradle hold or the football hold, can also help find the most comfortable position for both mother and baby. Remember, a comfortable position is key to a successful and enjoyable breastfeeding experience.2. Ensure proper latch technique.When it comes to successful breastfeeding, ensuring proper latch technique is essential. A good latch is important to prevent nipple soreness and damage, and to ensure that your baby is receiving enough milk. To achieve a proper latch, it is important to make sure your baby is positioned correctly and that their mouth is wide open. You should aim to have your baby’s mouth covering as much of the areola as possible, with their lips flanged outwards. You can gently guide your baby’s head towards your breast, but avoid pushing their head onto your breast. Remember to allow your baby to take the lead in finding the right position and angle, and don’t rush the process. With practice and patience, you and your baby will soon develop a comfortable and effective breastfeeding routine.3. Nurse frequently to maintain supply.Nursing frequently is one of the most important tips to maintain a healthy milk supply. The more often you nurse, the more milk your body produces. When you nurse, your body receives signals to create more milk, so nursing frequently will help your body maintain milk production. Aim to nurse at least 8-12 times per day, or whenever your baby shows signs of hunger, such as rooting or sucking on their hands. It's also important to ensure that your baby is latching on correctly to optimize milk transfer and prevent discomfort. Remember, the more you nurse, the more milk you will produce, so make sure to prioritize frequent nursing sessions to maintain your milk supply.4. Avoid pacifiers and bottles.When it comes to breastfeeding, it's important to establish a strong and successful nursing relationship with your baby. One key factor in achieving this is to avoid the use of pacifiers and bottles in the early stages of breastfeeding. This is because the sucking action required for breastfeeding is different from that of a pacifier or bottle, and introducing these items too soon can cause confusion for your baby and potentially lead to nipple confusion or an aversion to breastfeeding. It's recommended to exclusively breastfeed for the first six months of your baby's life, and avoiding pacifiers and bottles during this time can help ensure a successful and fulfilling nursing experience for both you and your baby.5. Stay hydrated throughout day.Staying hydrated is a top priority for breastfeeding mothers, as it helps to maintain an adequate milk supply. It is important to drink enough fluids throughout the day to keep your body hydrated. Experts recommend drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water per day, and even more if you are active or if the weather is hot. You can also include other fluids such as milk, fruit juice, or coconut water to keep yourself hydrated. If you find it difficult to keep track of your water intake, try carrying a water bottle with you at all times and take sips throughout the day. Staying hydrated is one of the most crucial tips for breastfeeding mothers to ensure their milk supply stays consistent and their bodies remain healthy.6. Use nipple cream for discomfort.Breastfeeding can be a rewarding and bonding experience between a mother and her baby, but it can also come with some discomfort. One tip to alleviate soreness and chafing is to use nipple cream. Nipple cream is a lanolin-based ointment that is safe for both mom and baby. It helps to soothe and protect the nipples from dryness, cracking, and irritation during breastfeeding. Using nipple cream regularly can also help to prevent nipple trauma and reduce the risk of infection. It is important to choose a high-quality product that does not contain any harmful ingredients, and to apply it after each feeding and as needed throughout the day. Nipple cream is a simple but effective solution to make breastfeeding a more comfortable experience for both mom and baby.7. Wear supportive nursing bras.Wearing supportive nursing bras is an essential tip for breastfeeding mothers. Not only do nursing bras provide easy access for your baby to breastfeed, but they also offer the support and comfort that your breasts need during this time. Look for bras with wide shoulder straps and adjustable back closures that can accommodate changes in your breast size, which is common during breastfeeding. Avoid underwire bras as they can cause discomfort and potentially lead to blocked milk ducts. It is recommended to invest in at least three to four nursing bras to ensure that you always have a clean and comfortable bra ready to use. With proper support and comfort, a nursing bra can make your breastfeeding journey more comfortable and convenient.8. Seek help if struggling.Breastfeeding can be a challenging experience for many new mothers, especially in the early stages. It's important to remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you're struggling with breastfeeding, don't hesitate to reach out for assistance from a lactation consultant, your healthcare provider, or a support group. These professionals can provide guidance on proper latch and positioning techniques, offer tips for increasing milk supply, and address any concerns or questions you may have. Remember, you don't have to go through the breastfeeding journey alone. Seeking help is an essential step in ensuring a successful and positive breastfeeding experience for both you and your baby.9. Eat a balanced diet.Eating a balanced diet is essential for maintaining good health, especially for breastfeeding mothers. It is important to consume a variety of foods from all food groups to provide the necessary nutrients for both the mother and baby. A balanced diet should include fruits, vegetables, protein, whole grains, and healthy fats. It is recommended that breastfeeding mothers consume an additional 500 calories per day to support milk production. Including foods rich in calcium, iron, and vitamin D can also be beneficial for both the mother and baby. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations to ensure optimal health and nutrition during breastfeeding.10. Take care of yourself too.Breastfeeding is a wonderful experience for both you and your baby, but it can also be demanding and exhausting. It's important to remember that taking care of yourself is just as crucial as taking care of your baby. This means getting enough rest, eating a healthy and balanced diet, and staying hydrated. Breastfeeding can burn up to 500 calories a day, so it's important to replenish your body with nutritious foods and plenty of water. Don't forget to take breaks and allow yourself some alone time to relax and recharge. Remember, taking care of yourself will not only benefit you, but also your baby who will thrive on a healthy and happy mother. So, make sure to prioritize self-care and seek support from your partner, family, or healthcare provider if needed.In conclusion, breastfeeding can be a challenging and rewarding experience for both mother and baby. Following these top 10 tips can help overcome common difficulties and provide a successful breastfeeding journey. However, it's important to remember that every mother and baby is unique, and seeking support from a lactation consultant or healthcare provider can be beneficial in addressing individual concerns and needs. By prioritizing self-care, seeking help when needed, and staying committed to the breastfeeding process, mothers can provide their babies with the many health benefits of breast milk while also strengthening the bond between mother and child.

There’s no way to predict how much hair a baby will have at birth. Some babies are born with a lot of hair and others are born without hair. Even when a baby has hair at birth, their hair can fall out shortly after delivery, then later regrow. Shampooing One of the main reasons for brittle, thin hair is a sweaty and dirty scalp. Make sure that you shampoo your baby’s hair and massage her scalp thrice a week. You can use a head to toe product or baby shampoo. You are not required to wash the baby’s hair every day. Got a baby with a full head of hair? Caring for those fine locks calls for some finesse, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. Here’s how to keep those newborn strands silky and smooth.

Why You Should Never Let Strangers Kiss Your Baby

I remember when my little sister was born that my mom did not allow anyone to kiss her, especially me. I wanted so much to have a baby sister, so I would sneak secretly to the baby bed and kiss her when she was asleep. Fortunately, my mother never caught me. 🙂 Years later, when I told her about my secret kisses to my sister, she kept repeating that kissing a newborn baby is a sin because babies…
