7 things you should absolutely not do with newborn babies
In the first days of life, newborns have very weak health and resistance, mothers need to pay special attention to care. Because even the smallest negligence can cause unfortunate consequences.
Here are some taboos that should not be done with newborn babies:
1. Don't let anyone kiss your baby.During the first few weeks of life, exposure to bacteria and germs can cause some serious complications for your little angel. Just kissing can cause your baby to contract unwanted diseases, because the immune system of a newborn baby is not strong enough to protect the body or fight off diseases.
2. Let your baby sleep while breastfeedingMany parents let their babies suck on a pacifier or bottle to fall asleep, but this mistake can cause them to suffocate.
3. Leaving your baby's diaper on for too long without changing itIf you leave your baby's diaper on for too long, it can easily make your baby uncomfortable, and worse, it can cause itching and infection.

Babies who use pacifiers become dependent on them and are less likely to breastfeed. Giving a pacifier too early can also confuse feeding times. The mother's body temperature, heartbeat, and familiar scent when breastfeeding will make the baby feel safe and comfortable.
5. Let your child lie on a high pillowBecause the spine structure of a newborn baby is a straight line, the baby's head and back must always be in a straight line. If the head is placed on another object, the neck bone will easily bend to one side and deform the spine. Therefore, using a pillow for a newborn baby can be a risk leading to spinal diseases such as scoliosis. Therefore, there is no need to let the baby lie on a pillow.
6. Dressing children in too many clothesNewborns are prone to colds, but there is no need to worry too much about this. Although babies cannot warm themselves by moving, overdressing them can cause fever and dehydration. Dress your baby in layers, so it is easier to add or remove clothing and maintain the right temperature.
7. Hesitant to bathe the baby immediately after birthMothers should bathe their babies 24 hours after birth because it will have many benefits such as retaining the sebum layer that protects the baby's skin, maintaining a stable body temperature after birth, creating a close bond between mother and baby... After 24 hours, mothers can bathe their babies and gently clean their eyes and nose with saline solution.
