For newborns, you can bathe them using a sponge in the first weeks of their life. Especially before the umbilical cord falls off.

Keep in mind not to bathe the baby too often at this age, Mom. For the first few weeks, 1-2 times is enough, unless the baby uses diapers or wets a lot.

If you want to use soap for bathing, choose a soap that is sensitive and mild for baby's skin.

It is important to wash the baby's diaper area, between the fingers and toes, the neck, arms, skin folds, and behind the ears. Baby hair does not need to be washed often, just wash it once a week.

5. Holding a baby

For new mothers, holding a baby aged 0-6 months may be a challenge. A mother also needs basic knowledge that can be learned gradually. First, make sure our hands are clean because the baby's immune system is still vulnerable to germs.

Then, most babies often spit up. Therefore, you can use a small towel and place it on your arm or shoulder in case you clean your baby's mouth if he spits up.

"When holding the baby, use the bend of the elbow to support the head. This technique is used because the newborn's neck is not strong enough,"
