Tips for Baby Care
Creating a Routine
Establishing a bedtime routine can help your baby wind down and feel ready for sleep. Simple activities like a warm bath, a gentle lullaby, and dimmed lights signal to your baby that it’s time to rest.
Comforting Techniques
Swaddling, using a white noise machine, or gentle rocking can help soothe your baby as they drift off to sleep. Over time, they’ll associate these comforts with sleep, making nighttime smoother for both of you.
0-12 M
Gum Massage
Relieve your baby’s discomfort by gently massaging their gums with a clean finger. The pressure can help soothe sore spots and reduce pain.
Cold Comforts
Try giving your baby a cold washcloth or a frozen piece of celery to chew on. The cool sensation can ease the pain and provide relief during teething.
Teething Toys
Keep a variety of safe, baby-friendly teething toys available. Options with different textures give your baby something to chew on that can help alleviate teething pain.
4-12 M
Holding and Snuggling
Sometimes all your baby needs is the comfort of your touch. Holding, rocking, or snuggling can help calm them during fussy periods, providing the security and love they crave.
Massage
A gentle massage can be very calming for your baby. Using baby-safe oil, gently massage their arms, legs, and back. This can help them relax, ease tension, and even improve sleep.
2-10 Years
Motor Skills Practice
Encourage motor skills like turning and sitting up with a bit of practice during tummy time. Gently help your baby roll over or support them in a seated position using a boppy pillow to develop their core muscles.
Crawling and Mobility
Once your baby starts crawling, teach them to navigate low surfaces safely. Helping them learn to get off the couch or a low bed builds their confidence and improves coordination.
Encouraging Social Interaction
Engage your baby by making eye contact, smiling, and talking or singing. These interactions help them learn about emotions and build their social awareness, laying the groundwork for a happy, secure childhood.
