Essential Newborn Care Tips
🍽 Feeding Frequency
Newborns typically need to be fed every 2–3 hours. That’s about 8–12 times in 24 hours. Don’t wait for your baby to cry — early hunger signs include lip-smacking, rooting, and sucking on hands.
💧 Hydration Check
A well-hydrated baby will have 6–8 wet diapers per day. Their urine should be pale yellow. Dry lips, sunken eyes, or no tears while crying may be signs of dehydration — consult your pediatrician if you notice these.
💜 Skin-to-Skin Contact
Skin-to-skin contact helps regulate your baby’s temperature, heart rate, and breathing. It also promotes bonding, breastfeeding success, and reduces baby’s stress. Try to do this often, especially during the first few weeks.
⚠️ Warning Signs
Seek medical help if your baby has a fever, persistent vomiting, trouble breathing, bluish lips, or isn’t feeding well. Also watch for fewer than 4 wet diapers a day or extreme sleepiness.
When to Consult a Pediatrician
If weight loss exceeds 10%, if baby is lethargic or difficult to wake, or if there are signs of dehydration.
Weight Recovery Timeline
Most babies regain their birth weight by 10-14 days of age. Consistent weight gain after day 5 is a positive sign.
