Taking a newborn care class during pregnacy can prepare caregivers for their future responsibilities. During the stay in a hospital or a birthing center, clinicians and nurses help with basic baby care and demonstrate how to perform it. Newborn care basics include:
- Handling a newborn, including supporting the baby's neck
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Swaddling
- Soothing[1]
- Feeding and burping
- Cleaning the umbilical cord
- Using a bulb syringe to clear the baby's nasal passages
- Taking a newborn's temperature
- Immunization
- Change the baby's diaper on time to prevent diaper rash
