Newborn Care |
If it is the first time you give birth, then you should not feel under pressure to go home. You have to ask all the concerns you may be having about your newborn to avoid any unnecessary concerns. You can ask the questions about your newborn from your doctor, lactation consultant and nurse. While taking your baby home, it is always better if you have already the child safety seat. If you try to hold the newborn, then the baby can be thrown on the dashboard. You may go for the convertible seats which may accommodate the older babies or infants.
While putting the newborn seat in your car, always make sure that you do not put the convertible seat at the front rear. If it is cold, add the blankets on the newborn. Do not use the seat which is cracked, that shows the signs of tear and wear. While buying the seat, make sure that you are buying the one that fits best and which is the safest. You have also to make sure that the seat is installed well. To be on the safe side, make sure that your newborn seat is installed by a qualified person and that it is checked regularly.
