A Guide For First Time Parents by Kindersteps: 7:24am On May 24, 2022
One of the most exciting moments for every parent is when they can take their newborn home from the hospital for the first time.

If you haven't spent a lot of time around newborns, their fragility may be intimidating. Here are some tips for parents with newborns.

Newborns don't have a strong immune system yet, so they're at risk for infection. Make sure that everyone who is in contact with your baby has clean hands.
Cradle the head when carrying your baby and support the head when carrying the baby upright.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether it’s your first newborn or your fifth, figuring this out on your own is a lot harder than when you have support. You can always use an early parenting app, there are free parenting apps on IOS and the playstore, You can use them for parenting tips.
Prepare yourself before immediately feeding. It’s natural to want to drop everything after your baby cries. Feeding can take a while so take a moment to pee, grab some water, get a magazine - whatever you need to feel comfortable.
Shaking can cause bleeding in the brain and even death. If you need to wake your infant, don't do it by shaking — instead, tickle your baby's feet or blow gently on a cheek.

These are the basic important things every parent should consider for the baby's safety.
