1. Precautions for newborn care
1.1 Temperature
Newborns have weak body temperature regulation capabilities and are prone to low or high temperatures. When the indoor environment is relatively constant, you should try to keep your baby\’s clothing appropriately to avoid overheating or coldness.
1.2 Security Protection
Newborns are more sensitive to external stimuli and need to be careful to avoid contact with toxic and harmful substances, sharp objects and other items that may cause harm to them. In addition, pay attention to avoid accidents such as falls and suffocation.
1.3 Feeding methods
There are two ways to feed newborns: breastfeeding and artificial feeding. Breastfeeding is the best option, but care must be taken to maintain the mother\’s physical health and hygiene. When artificially feeding, you must choose milk powder suitable for newborns, and prepare and use it correctly according to the instructions.
2. Prevention of common neonatal diseases
2.1 Jaundice
Jaundice is one of the most common diseases in newborns, mainly characterized by yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes. The key to preventing jaundice is to feed the baby in time, keep the baby\’s bowel movement smooth, and avoid exposure to the sun.

Newborns crying may be caused by hunger, thirst, wet diapers or excessive fatigue. Problems should be checked and resolved promptly.

Appropriate touching can enhance the parent-child relationship and promote the healthy physical and mental development of the baby. But attention and location are required to avoid causing harm to the baby.
