The main thing is to carefully monitor the safety of the crumbs and adhere to simple rules.
• Due to the fact that the immunity of the newborn is not yet fully strengthened, before approaching the child and taking care of him, it is imperative to wash your hands. And in general, you need to very well monitor your hygiene and the cleanliness of the room where the baby is.
• The baby's neck muscles have not yet matured, so he cannot hold the head on his own. When mom takes the baby in her arms, then you need to remember to hold his neck and head.
