Caring for a newborn can feel scary at first. Feed your baby when hungry, change diapers often, and keep the umbilical area clean and dry. Always put your baby to sleep on their back for safety. It gets easier as you learn each day.
It's very common for newborns to have rashes or other skin conditions. Some of them have long names that are hard to say and sound scary. But most are harmless and will go away on their own in a few days or weeks.

Baby-led weaning (BLW) is a way to introduce solid foods to your baby. Your baby will go from having only breast milk or formula to having a mixed diet that includes breast milk or formula and some solid foods.
As babies grow and develop, they learn how to sit and balance on their own. Practicing helps them build the motor skills and strength for stable sitting.
Growth and development milestones are things you can expect to see from your baby at different stages. They help you see how your baby is doing compared with other babies at the same age.
