Things To Do To Nurture Your Baby: 

Written By Florence Obong

  • Keep your baby near at all times. 

  • Talk to baby, looking into their eyes – keeps them engaged. 

  • Pick up baby and soothe them if crying – for reassurance. 

  • Touch, massage and gently rock baby as required to calm them down. 

  • Frequent skin-to-skin and cuddling with parents. 

  • Breastfeeding baby for nourishment/comfort/bonding, in skin-to-skin.   

  • Bottle feeding is also encouraged in skin-to-skin as far as possible.
