If you have observed carefully, you might have noticed that these kids pick up and eat anything they can grasp with their tiny fingers as soon as they are a few weeks old. This activity increases when the newborn baby starts crawling and is able to locate and move towards different things lying on the floor. Be careful that there are no foreign objects left on the ground that can be eaten by them since they might block their windpipe and cause serious problems.
When the baby starts crawling there is yet another thing you should be wary of. Wipe the floor clean using a disinfectant that is strong enough to remove germs from the floor yet does not leave any residue that might be harmful for the baby's skin. During their first few weeks, babies cannot inform others that they are going to urinate. This action is natural for them.
They convey it to others by crying. You should first check out their diaper and check whether it is wet or not if your baby is crying for no apparent reason. After cleaning its bottom and private parts with a soft towel, and applying some talcum powder, replace the diaper. When newborn babies are a few week old, we generally give them lots of gifts.
Most of us rarely care to check out if these gifts are appropriate for the young ones in our eagerness. Before purchasing those toys, you should ensure that they do not have any sharp edges. Babies will try to insert these playthings into their mouth out of habit. A sharp edged thing might cut their delicate skin. Also make sure that the toy is colored using paints that are safe for the toddler.
