Don't be afraid to look for baby care tips. If you are the parent of a baby or you soon will be, you've probably already discovered that babies don't come with instructions! Taking care of a baby is a twenty-four hour, seven day a week, responsiblity! Taking care of your baby doesn't have to be overwhelming, though.


Baby Care Tips: Skin Care


Babies aren't born with perfect skin. On the contrary, hormonal and environmental changes can wreak havoc on an infant's sensitive skin. You can help your baby's skin look healthy by following a few simple tips.


1. You should not use baby powder or talcum powder on your baby's skin. The particles found in baby powder and talc have been found to irritate babies' lungs, in some cases seriously.

2. If your baby's skin irritation continues to worsen, contact your pediatrician. She may be suffering from eczema.

3. You can rub a small amount of baby oil on your infant's scalp if he has flaky skin.

4. If your baby suffers from diaper rash, be sure and use an ointment that contains zinc oxide to dry up this irritating skin condition.

5. If your baby's skin appears dry, you can use baby lotion to help moisturize her skin.


Baby Care Tips: Feeding Baby


In the first few weeks of your infant's life, it may seem as if you are constantly feeding him. As his tummy grows, however, you won't be feeding quite as often.


1. If you are breastfeeding, you'll probably feed your infant every two to three hours in the first couple of months.

2. If the formula you are feeding your infant seems to upset her tummy, contact your pediatrician before switching formulas.

3. If you are going to supplement breast feeding with bottle feeding, look for nipples that will be similar to your breast to avoid nipple confusion in your baby.

4. You should never heat a bottle in the microwave. Instead, you can heat a cup of water in the microwave for approximately one minute, then place the bottle of milk or formula into the cup for a few minutes to warm it. Be sure you test the temperature of the milk after you have shaken it and before you give it to your baby!

5. You should not keep thawed breast milk any longer than twenty-four hours. You can store breast milk in a refrigerator styled freezer for up to three months and in a deep freeze for up to six months.

6. Once you begin feeding your baby solid foods, wait a few days before introducing each new food to rule out any food allergies that your child might have.

Baby Care Tips: Bathing Baby


Bathing a newborn can be an intimidating task the first few times you do it. Before long, however, you'll be quite adept at handling your slippery baby.


1. You should not give your baby a tub bath until his umbilical cord has fallen off and his circumcision has healed.

2. Begin bathing your baby by wiping his eyes from the inside to the outside using a clean, damp cloth, without soap.

3. You can gently scrub your baby's head to remove any dried skin.

4. You should bathe your baby and dry him off rather quickly to keep him from getting chilled.

5. You should never leave a baby alone in the tub, even for a minute!
