As you prepare, educate yourself on how to feed your baby, how to soothe him or her with body language, and how to properly hold and protect his or her tiny frame.

Studies by the World Health Organization (WHO) show that breastfeeding enhances bonding. Educate yourself on newborn care, infant diet, also you could learn to activate your baby’s calming reflex. In no time, you will get the hang of caring for your newborn.
