5 Things You Should Not Do To A Newborn
The baby is a new member of the family and now, he/she is seeing the environment as strange. A lot of persons are coming to commensurate with the family on the lovely arrival of the new baby. Are there some things you should do and not do?

1. Don’t allow anyone kiss the baby
Yes, kissing can affect the baby. At this point, there a lot of bacteria’s and a virus that can be given to your child from other kissing him/her. Their immune system is quite low or weak, and so, it may be very difficult to make sure they are well taken out of sickness.

Also, when others visit, makes sure that they do not carry the baby with their dirty hands, a good sanitizer will suffice in order to make them healthy and clean from germs.

2. Don’t change things
Because the baby is just coming does not mean that activities should change. Allow the same flow of activities take place. Never say that others should stop using the TV, or read books, or be chatting or be talking at home in order to reduce the silence. No, it will not help the baby. This will just increase the level at which the makeup of the body is destroyed.

The baby notices the environment, and then adapts to it the best way he/she can. Don’t worry if he has noisy little siblings; the sooner your new baby gets used to the noise of the day, the better he will sleep, no matter the time.

3. Don’t leave the diaper dirty for too long
Diaper rash is a something common to babies. For the first six months, they will begin to get used to the strange element you use to clean up the baby.
