Your first moments

How will you feed your newborn?

Baby’s first bath will be a new experience for both of you, so give yourself plenty of time to relax and enjoy it. In the beginning, you should give your baby a sponge bath twice a week or as needed, until the umbilical cord heals.

Around the six-month mark, your baby will probably show signs of being ready for bites of their first food. This is unofficially called the “om-nom-nom” stage because it’s among the more common sounds you’ll hear from them around this time.
