The insomnia cure

One of the very common complaints that new parents have is that their baby is not sleeping enough or not sleeping well. There can be more than one reason why your baby won’t sleep. One such reason is that the baby is craving for physical contact. Since the baby is used to the mother’s warmth and heartbeat, it is quite normal for them to crave it outside the womb as well. Hold your baby in a comfortable position and place them on your chest while lying on your back. This gives them a sense of comfort and also adds to their tummy time.

It can be quite hard to get your baby to burp. This simple hack will help your little one burp with ease in a matter of seconds!

No water until the first 6 months

It is not recommended to feed the baby water until the baby turns at least 6 months of age, since all the nutrients and required energy are gained through the mother’s feed, water simply doesn’t constitute any necessity here. Also, doctors have mentioned that feeding water to infants can be fatal, so avoid feeding water.
