Newborn Care Tips for First-Time Parents in Bangalore
Essential Newborn Care Tips for First-Time Parents in Bangalore
Becoming a parent for the first time is a life-changing experience — exciting, overwhelming, and full of questions. As you welcome your newborn into the world, providing the right care from day one is crucial for their growth and development. At Nans Clinic, located on Bannerghatta Main Road, Bangalore, we help new parents feel confident in their baby care journey.
1. Create a Safe Sleeping Environment
Always place your baby on their back to sleep.
Use a firm mattress and avoid pillows, toys, or loose bedding.
Keep your baby’s sleep area in the same room for at least the first 6 months.
This helps reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and ensures a safe sleep environment.
2. Feed Frequently and Responsively
Breastfeed every 2–3 hours or on demand.
If formula feeding, ensure proper preparation and sterilization.
Watch for feeding cues like lip smacking or hand-to-mouth movements.
Proper nutrition supports your baby’s rapid growth in the first few months.
3. Maintain Hygiene and Umbilical Cord Care
Bathe your newborn 2–3 times a week with mild soap.
Keep the umbilical cord stump clean and dry — it usually falls off within 1–2 weeks.
Always wash your hands before handling the baby.
4. Monitor Temperature and Dress Comfortably
Newborns are sensitive to changes in temperature.
Dress them in one layer more than what you’re wearing.
Avoid overheating — a simple rule: if you’re comfortable, your baby probably is too.
5. Stay on Track with Vaccinations and Checkups
Your baby’s first pediatric visit should happen within a few days after birth.
Follow the immunization schedule recommended by your pediatrician.
At Nans Clinic, we offer timely vaccinations and newborn checkups.
6. Know When to Seek Medical Help
Call your pediatrician if your newborn has:
A fever above 100.4°F (38°C)
Refuses feeding
Difficulty breathing
Lethargy or excessive sleepiness
Persistent vomiting or diarrhea
7. Encourage Bonding and Early Development
Practice skin-to-skin contact to calm your baby and enhance bonding.
Speak, sing, and make eye contact — even newborns respond to faces and voices.
Tummy time, a few minutes a day, helps build neck and shoulder strength.
