Smoke or pollution: Keep your baby away from smoking, pollution, factories, and places where there is too much pollution. Smoke of any kind can harm the baby’s lungs and internal parts.

Hygienic care for clothes: Wash the baby’s cloth after one-time use. Many parents don’t wash the cotton nappies after one pee of their baby. But it is wrong. The pee attracts much harmful fungus towards it which can harm the genitals of the baby. After washing the baby’s clothes you can soak them in Dettol to avoid germs. My baby is of 13 months but I still use Dettol for his hygienic safety.

Outfits: Make the selection of baby clothes according to the weather. If it’s hot summer use pure cotton clothes and if it is winter climate, dress them well to avoid cold. The clothes should be clean and dry.

Bathing: Bath your baby with a sponge to protect their soft skin from the hard touch of hands. Infants and newborns are so sensitive and they should be handled with care. Bathing a newborn baby is the hardest task according to me. They are so soft to give them a bath. I think only experienced hands can do this task very well. If you are a new parent then don’t panic so much. Give them a bath slowly and take care of their navel.

Prams and cradle: If you are using prams and cradle then look after its cleanliness. If you are taking them outside then do care for mosquito nets.

Diapers: If it’s summertime for your delivery and try to avoid diapers. Use as much less as you can to avoid bacterial infections. My baby was born at the starting of March but I totally ignored the diapers. Hardly 4-5 times I wore him diapers till his 6 months of age. If still, you need to use diapers then take care to change them on time.

Avoid hand sanitizers: If your baby had started taking his hands in mouth and over his eyes then avoid using the sanitizers. The sanitizers contain alcohol and many other chemicals which will indirectly go into the baby’s tummy.

Let’s Play them: Let your baby play itself because it will build his immune power as well as many other body parts. Don’t make your baby habitual for laps as it will not make your baby habit to move his hands and legs.

Avoid medicines: The medicines for every little thing will make your baby’s body habitual to consume medicine. Try to use home remedies to get rid of small diseases like cough & cold, loose motions, indigestions. But if you feel that home remedies are not working then do consult with doctors.

Toys: Keep the toys and other playing kinds of stuff of baby clean and hygienic. The kids have a habit of taking all the things in their mouth and dirty toys will let them eat the dust.
