Step 1
Remember communication is the key. Not only is this new to you, imagine how your baby must feel. Your child is now in a brand new world and no one seems to understand them. So, you are not the only one adjusting here.
-
Step 2
Check to see if the baby needs a diaper change. If so, change it.
-
Step 3
Ask yourself, when was the last time your baby ate. Your baby maybe hungry. Has it been a few hours, normally 2.5 to 4 hours between feedings is normal. If its been a while, feed them.
-
Step 4
Hold your baby close to you, they may just need some extra attention from you. Pay close attention in this step to check & see if your baby is warm, they maybe running a fever. If so, check it, medicate, & if it continues or goes above 100 call your doctor.
-
Step 5
Also check over your baby's body for any bruises or rashes. If you find anything out of the norm call your doctor.
