Read More →Newborns communicate through subtle cues long before they cry. Early hunger signs include lip smacking, rooting, and bringing hands to mouth. Sleepy babies may rub their eyes, yawn, or look away. Learning to recognize these early signals helps prevent overstimulation and creates a more harmonious caregiving experience.
While newborns don't follow strict schedules, establishing flexible routines helps regulate their circadian rhythms. Consistent bedtime rituals, even simple ones like dimming lights and gentle singing, signal to your baby that sleep time is approaching. This foundation becomes increasingly valuable as your baby grows.
Newborns have difficulty regulating their body temperature. The general rule is to dress your baby in one more layer than you're comfortable wearing. Check their temperature by feeling the back of their neck rather than their hands or feet, which are often cooler. Overheating is a greater risk than being slightly cool.
