"Parenting Tips for Babies | Dr. Harini Sreedharan
Parenting a newborn can be both a joyful and challenging experience. As a parent, it's important to focus on a few key aspects of baby care to ensure healthy growth and development. In this video, Dr. Harini Sreedharan, Consultant - Neonatology & Paediatrics at Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center, Bangalore, shares her expert parenting tips for newborns.

Breastfeeding is Key
One of the most crucial aspects of newborn care is breastfeeding. It is the best source of nutrition for your baby and provides essential antibodies. Breastfeeding exclusively during the first six months of life is highly recommended, with no additional water, diluted cow's milk, or other substitutes.

Regular Weight Checkups
Regular weight checkups are vital to ensure that your baby is growing and developing as expected. Monitoring your baby's growth helps in tracking their nutritional intake and addressing any concerns early on.

Breastfeeding Timings
There is no fixed schedule for breastfeeding. Babies may feed at different intervals, and their sleep frequency and feeding patterns can change frequently during the first few months. It’s essential to follow your baby's cues for when they are hungry or need comfort.

Sleep Frequency and Patterns
Your baby’s sleep frequency and patterns will evolve over time. In the initial months, newborns tend to sleep for longer hours and wake up for feeding. As your baby grows, their sleep schedule may become more regular, and they may start sleeping for longer stretches at night.

Other Parenting Tips
Create a soothing environment: Babies thrive in environments that are calm and comforting. Soft lighting, swaddling, and soothing sounds can help your baby sleep better.
Bonding time: Spend quality time with your baby through gentle touch, eye contact, and talking to them. This helps build a strong emotional connection.
Tummy time: It is essential to give your baby some tummy time each day to help build their muscles and coordination.
