Month 1: A Gentle Start
Focus: Bonding, Feeding, and Sleep
Your baby has just entered the world. Everything is new to them, and to you too. Here’s what matters most in this first month:
1. Feeding Your Baby
- Breastfeeding or formula feeding is your choice. Both can give your baby the nutrients they need.
- Feed your baby on demand, usually every 2 to 3 hours.
- Keep burp cloths nearby and support your baby’s head during feeding.
- Popsbump recommends: Soft, absorbent organic cotton burp cloths and anti-colic bottles for comfort.
2. Diapering and Hygiene
- Change diapers often to prevent rashes.
- Clean gently with fragrance-free baby wipes and use diaper rash cream when needed.
- Always wash your hands before and after.
3. Umbilical Cord Care
- Keep the cord area dry.
- Use a sponge bath until the cord falls off.
- Popsbump offers gentle bath towels and mild cleansers for newborns.
4. Safe Sleep Practices
