]]>Using a baby carrier brings your baby close to you. You won’t have to hold the baby with your arms when you have chores to work on. It is also quite comfortable for the baby to sleep serenely.
They can also be helpful when you are in transit. You can stand in a queue without having to hold the baby for so long.
Before choosing a carrier, you should know when babies can use carriers. It is not ideal for newborns because their neck muscles are not strong enough to hold their head. So a 4-5-month-old can use a baby carrier.
If you need to carry your newborn in a carrier, get a wrap or sling.
This depends on the model as well as the brand. Averagely, babies weigh seven to eight pounds and may gain more over the next year. A baby carrier is built to support a baby that weighs 7 to 40 pounds.
You should always place the baby properly in the carrier if not; it could harm the baby’s hips causing hip dysplasia.

]]>Skin to skin contact can regulate the little one’s heartbeat. It also stabilizes the blood sugar levels while aiding sleep. Research has also revealed that it reduces the risk of obesity and boosts the infant’s mental development.

When your newborn’s heart rate synchronizes with yours, it causes a release of hormones that promote breastfeeding. Also, milk production is stimulated as well due to the production of prolactin.
During this activity, hormones such as prolactin, oxytocin, and endorphins are produced. The hormones promote bonding and build feelings of love. It is also helpful in reducing stress and postnatal depression.

]]>Since babies under six months cannot receive flu shots, family members and caregivers should receive the shot if they can.
You can also breastfeed your baby to reduce her risk of contracting the flu. Breastfeeding enhances your baby’s immunity and fights off infections such as the flu.

Ensure that all areas and toys your baby handles are cleaned and sanitized regularly. Ensure that you discuss with your pediatrician about the safest cleaning agents for play areas.

]]>Here are few tips to get the perfect poses for your newborn:
Newborns are tiny, but only for a short period of time. To cherish the physical assets of your newborn baby, it is best to capture their peanut fingers and tiny toes. The photos will not only be meaningful but also display the little details of the child.
The second tip is to go for expressions. In their first few months, newborns show untainted expressions which are hard to guess but amaze us to a large extent. So, be ready to catch their expressions of joy, sadness, hunger, or probably a little gas!
The third hint for the perfect newborn photography is to capture candid photos. New babies are sometimes conscious of the camera. Taking a candid pic will capture their originality and purity of the heart.
