The most important thing is to make sure that you are providing the baby with enough sleep. It's recommended that newborns get 12-18 hours of sleep each day. Make sure your baby is in a safe environment and not exposed to too much noise or light. Offer your baby plenty of skin-to-skin contact as well as breast milk or formula if needed. Be sure to keep track of your baby’s temperature and weight regularly. If your child seems unwell, consult with your doctor immediately. Finally, be patient and loving when caring for your newborn.
