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. ||The sun is the most important source of Vit D ||During the day, don't try to catch up on chores while the baby sleeps. Lie down and rest ||Expressing milk should be painless. If it hurts, stop. ||As a new baby mother who has to breast feed you should make sure that you drink lots of water ... Make a habit out of drinking a glass of water every time you feed your baby. This will ensure that you are getting your water, and help your body produce enough milk. ||Proper weight gain is the sign that your baby is having enough milk. Not crying and not comparing with other kids ||Newborns are expected to lose some weight after delivery due to fluid loss. Don’t worry ||Until your baby is 6 months old, he'll get all the hydration he needs from breast milk or formula, even in hot weather ||AAP recommends to avoid blankets (a potential suffocation hazard) until your baby reaches her first birthday ||Most newborns need eight to 12 feedings a day — about one feeding every two to three hours ||

If the child is having a balanced diet, healthy water to drink as described under the same section, he should not be in need of extra vitamins or minerals. One important exception is vitamin D. Our bodies naturally acquire vitamin D from exposure to the direct sun light. If your child is not adequately exposed to the sunlight than he/she will need vitamin D supplementation of at least 200 Units/day.
