It’s never too early to read for your child ||Exclusive breastfeeding for at least 6 months is the best prevention of food allergies ||Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently. It’s not the type of soap that prevents the spread of bacteria and viruses; it’s how you wash your hands. ||Your baby should have 4-6 wet diapers per day. This is a great way to monitor if they're getting enough milk ||Only close friends and relatives should visit you during your first month at home. They should not visit if they are sick ||The most important thing on growth curves is how your baby grows over time. If he's small but growing at the appropriate rate, there's usually no cause for concern. ||Colostrum is rich with all what baby needs for the first 2-3 days till the breast begins to produce milk ||Plan for regular family meals. Enjoy being together as a family and give a chance for everyone to decompress from the day ||Always check the water temperature with your hand before bathing your baby. Be sure the room is comfortably warm, too ||Excessive warmth and overdressing are as harmful as cold weather. Temperature inside your home should not exceed 23 degrees ||
