    10 Steps with pictures

1.Love your baby

Most parents love and appreciate their children, while some parents pretend that they love their kids. In actuality, they really don't, and are selfish. You should never be that type of parent; you should always love and accept your child no matter what. Truly love your baby. Don't fake it; this will make you a terrible parent. You need to honestly love your baby. Also, remember that love lasts forever, love isn't typically like a cup of sugar. If you truly love your baby, you'd love them forever - no matter what.

2.Bathe your baby

Bathe the child once or twice a week in order to stay clean and healthy. Place a towel at the bottom of a kitchen sink so they wont slip and fill with 2-3 inches of luke-warm water. Use Johnson's Baby soap to wash the baby all over. Rinse. Place the baby in a warm towel, and then, clean up.

3.Feeding

 Babies need to get fed more than 3 times a day. A baby will cry and fuss if its not getting enough food. If the baby is getting enough, it will a. produce 4-6 wet diapers b. alert when awake c. gains weight No, the baby does not eat regular food. It has to drink either formula or breast milk. Ask your doctor for breast feeding tips. They'll help you your first time.

4.Sleeping. Babies need sleep to stay rested

 The more they rest, the more likely they are not to cry. Set a time to lay the baby to sleep every day (like 10 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 5 pm and 7 pm.) Newborns sleep up to 16 hours per day. It all depends on the baby.

5.Tummy Time

 The baby needs 15-20 minutes of staying on his/her tummy everyday. Doctors highly recommend it. This will help them roll over to breathe while sleeping.

6.Support

You need a good support system for your family and you. It may be a husband, boyfriend, or your own mom and dad. You need someone always there for you and your child throughout their childhood.

7.How to soothe a crying baby

.

Check for a wet diaper. Try feeding them. If that doesn't work, try adding a layer, like a jacket if its cold or removing a layer if its hot. Rocking them gently and singing or humming a lullaby to them will help. Give them a pacifier if that doesn't work. They might just be tired so lay them down. Sometimes, babies just cry and you have to let them until they fall asleep.

8.Interacting with the child

 You cant play with the child just yet. But they do get bored like we do. Taking them for a walk to the park once a day or talking to them. Putting pictures in the room where they are most of the time. Listening to music. Taking them in the car frequently will help too.

9.Doctor Visits. 

Your baby need to see the doctor 2 weeks after birth. Your doctor will tell you about this part.

10.Car rides

 The baby will need a car seat to stay safe in the vehicle. Take them in the car so they can adjust to being in a car seat early on. Besides, you need a car seat before leaving the hospital
