parenting tips for babies



Becoming a parent is the happiest day of one’s life. The arrival of a new born brings delight and enthusiasm in parents’ life and they look forward to see their baby grow. However, caring for your delicate baby can raise some obvious questions. The slightest of mishandling or carelessness can harm your baby and his/her growth and you may be left wondering where you went wrong. Apart from the regular feeding and nappy-changing, there are those little day-to-day jobs involved in caring for your baby the right way.The arrival of baby brings the responsibility of "father" and "mother",as becoming a parent is a unique feeling.

Head
The head may look pointed due of pressure during birth. It would become normal in two weeks. When you touch on the top of your baby's head, you can feel a soft spot. This is the part where the bones of the skull have not joined . It gets normal when the child is 16 -18 months

Eyes
The eyes may look as if they are squinting. This is very common in the first months.

Nose
The nose may appear flat as the bone hasn't yet fully developed.


Mental Ability :
Mostly all babies are awake and alert during the first few hours after birth. They are attracted to human sights especially faces and human sounds. They have a grasp reflex and sucking reflex. If an object is placed in his palm he involuntarily clenches his fists around it, likewise if the newborn is placed near his mothers breast, the baby will seek the nipple and begin to suck. Babies see now, although objects may be blurred. They may respond to a sudden loud noise and to human voice, but not to ordinary sounds.
