Cleanliness tips

While keeping the newborn clean these guidelines can be taken into account:
There is no need to bathe the baby every day.
While sponging your baby, always wash his face first, while the water is the cleanest.
Make sure that the nappy is clean and dry and in case the nappy gets infected, using a little antiseptic powder will help dry it.
Do not use disinfectants on your baby's skin, because they take away the skin's natural ability to fight infection.
Always remember to wash the baby's hands after she has come in contact with pets.
Till the baby is four months old, sterilise everything that goes into your baby's mouth. Try keeping her away from people that are sick.
After 4 months continue sterilising milk utensils and water bottles.
Be careful about storage and heating of milk, never leave it at room temperature for too long.
Good food preparation rules should be followed.
