If your baby’s tummy feels soft
(not hard or full) massage his
belly using circular, clockwise
strokes. Babies' tummies are
sensitive, so if he becomesunsettled, move on to the next
step.
Use your fingertips to massage
baby’s face. Stroke from the
middle of his forehead, down
the outside of his face and in
towards his cheeks.
If baby is still relaxed once
you've finished massaging the
front of his body, you can turn
him onto his tummy and use
long, smooth strokes from head
to toe.
Use respectful touch and stop
the massage if baby is not
enjoying himself or showing any
signs of being uncomfortable.
It’s also best to avoid a massage
if you are very tense, or if baby is
agitated or upset.

When bathing a newborn, startby preparing the bath area.
Collect all the bath items you
need and position them near
the bath. Have an unfolded
towel handy in preparation for
Make sure the room is at acomfortable temperature and fill
the bath with about 5 cm of warm
water. Test the water temperature
with your wrist or elbow – it
should be approximately 36° C and
should NOT feel hot on your skin.
Once the bath is ready,undress your baby. Cradling
her head and shoulders with
one hand and supporting her
body with the other, gently
lower her into the bath.
Moisten a cotton wool ball with
warm water and gently clean
your newborn’s eyelids, wiping
from inner eye to outer eye. Use
a different piece of cotton wool
for each eye.
Once or twice a week you can
wash your newborn's hair. To do
so, lay baby down in the bathand gently splash some water
onto her head. There's no need
for shampoo until she's older.
Use a soft washcloth to gently
clean your newborn’s face (1),
then the neck and body (2),leaving the genitals and bottom
till last (3).
Babies can drown in less than 5
cm of water so never leave your
newborn, or any child,
unattended in the bath. If you
have to leave the bath
area, wrap baby in a towel and
take her with you.
It’s usually not necessary to use
soap – it can make your newborn
slippery and hard to hold. However,
if you do decide to use soap,
consider an alternative such as
sorbolene lotion which won’t
irritate baby’s skin.
Make sure your newborn is
secured in a bouncer or cot
before disposing of the
bathwater.

Glossary:
Bath Items: When bathing a newborn, it helps to collect these items beforehand: the bath, a towel, a washcloth, cotton
wool, a new nappy and clean clothes.
Breastfeeding positions
Getting comfortable
Making sure that you’re comfortable and relaxed and that baby is correctly attached can help to
make breastfeeding easier and more enjoyable. Try to feed in a chair that offers good back support;
use cushions or pillows to prop up your arms; and if necessary, rest your feet on a telephone book or footstool. It’s also good to experiment with the different feeding positions, shown below, until you
find one that works for you and baby.

This is the classic 'front hold'
or 'cradle position'.The 'underarm position' shown
above is also known as the 'footy
hold'. It’s possible to feed twins
together in this position (see
below).
The 'lying down' position is
particularly good for mums
who’ve had caesareans or if
your bottom is sore after the
birth.
In the first few weeks, it may be easier to feed
twins separately. However, once you’ve got thehang of it, you can try feeding them together using
the 'twin hold'.
If you feel uncomfortable or self-conscious
when breastfeeding in public, drape a lightmuslin wrap over your shoulder so it covers
your breast and baby.

Breastfeeding techniques
The basic feeding routine
Newborns need to be fed six to 12 times every 24 hours – eight feeds a day is common. Once you’ve
got the hang of it, most feeds take 20 minutes or so, however, in the early days and weeks they may
take up to an hour. The basic routine is to feed from one breast, have a break and change baby's
nappy, then offer the other breast. Don't worry if she doesn't want it – the important thing is to offer
it.
Attaching to the breast
Breaking the attachment and burping

To start the feed, hold baby so her
chest is touching your chest; hernose should be in line with your
nipple. Gently brush your nipple
from her nose to her upper lip –
this will encourage her to open her
When her mouth is wide open,
bring baby to your breast
keeping your hands across her
back and shoulders. When she
attaches, most of the areola will
be in her mouth and her chin will
When baby is not correctly attached
and just sucks the nipple, feeding ispainful, nipples can become
damaged and the breast won’t be
properly drained. If baby hasn’t
attached correctly, stop, take her off
the breast as shown below and try
again.
It’s normal to feel a 'stretching
sensation' when baby starts
sucking, but if breastfeeding hurtsit may mean that baby is not
correctly attached. So stop, remove
baby from the breast and try
Avoid pulling baby from the
breast. Instead, break her
attachment by inserting your littlefinger into the corner of her
mouth, between her gums, and
gently remove her from the breast.
Your baby may need to burp after
feeding from each breast. To do
this, sit her up or hold her to yourshoulder and gently rub or pat her
back. Not all babies burp so if you
don't hear an 'uurp!' don’t worry.

Before you change a nappy, make
sure you have everything you
need within arm's reach of the
change area. This includes: a
fresh nappy, baby wipes and baby
cream.
Lie baby down on the change
table. If she grizzles, sing her a
song or give her a favourite toy to
keep her entertained.
Undress baby's bottom half and
unfasten the nappy. Use the front
of the nappy to wipe off any poo,
then fold the nappy into a tight
bundle before putting it in a
plastic bag.
Gently cleanse baby's bottom
using baby wipes. Make sure
you get into the crevices but
avoid separating a baby girl's
labia to 'clean inside'. Likewise,
a boy's foreskin should never be
pushed back.
To wipe the back of baby's
bottom, hold her by the legs with
your fingers between her ankles
and gently lift so her bottom
comes slightly off the change
table. Wiping girls front to back
will help avoid vaginal infections.
Apply a dollop of baby cream
to prevent against nappy rash.

Open a clean nappy, making sure
the fastening tabs are towards the
top. Lift baby up by the ankles and
slip the nappy beneath her bottom.
Fold the front flap up, tuck itfirmly around baby's waist and
secure each tab.
Once you've dressed baby, secure
her in a bouncer or cot and
dispose of the nappy. Wash your
hands before touching baby's
hands or face.
Remember: never leave a baby
unattended on a change table.
They can squirm or roll off in
seconds. If you have to take your
eyes off baby, keep your hands
on.
Be prepared for emergencies by
familiarising yourself with first aid
procedures and keeping a list of emergency numbers in your mobile
or by the phone.
If a baby is unconscious, check her
mouth for any items blocking her
airway. This could include hertongue, food, vomit or blood. If
present, use your little finger to
clear the blockage from her mouth.
Check for breathing. Listen for the
sound of the breath, look for
movements of the chest or feel forthe breath on your cheek.
If baby is breathing, place her in
the recovery position (shown above),
phone 000 and check her regularly
for continued signs of life until the
ambulance arrives.
If baby is NOT breathing, tilt her head
back very slightly, lift her chin to bring
the tongue away from the back of the
throat, opening her airway. Take a
breath and seal her mouth and nose
with your mouth. Blow gently and
steadily for about one second. Watch
for the rise and fall of the chest; take
another breath and repeat the sequence.
If there are no signs of life after two
breaths, make sure someone has
phoned 000 and commence chest
compressions.

Position two fingers in the centre of
baby’s chest and give 30
compressions at a rate of
approximately 100 per minute.
Each compression should depress the
chest by about one third.
After 30 compressions, take a
breath, seal your mouth over baby’s
mouth and nose and give two steady
breaths. Look for the rise and fall of
the chest.
Continue giving 30 compressions followed
by two breaths until medical help arrives.
If signs of life return, put baby in the
recovery position (shown in 3a), however,
continue to monitor breathing and be prepared to recommence CPR at any time.
