You must become comfortable with everything that has to do with your infant, from feeding, dressing, changing diapers, and holding the baby.

Handling your infant comes naturally.  

• Wash hands first  
• Support head and neck 
• Be gentle  
• Never shake your baby

Bath an infant 2–3 times a week, from head to toe. Your infant girl or boy will have a healing umbilical cord. Wait until these areas heal and the cord falls off before putting your baby in an infant water tub. Sponge-bathe your baby for a few weeks. Supplies include,

• Baby shampoos/soaps 
• Soft washcloths/towels 
• A warm blanket to lay on
• Baby lotion

When bottle-feeding, you can learn how to feed with ease. Create an every 3-4 hour schedule and a comfortable, quiet and warm place to feed your infant.
