Changing Newborn Diapers: Umbilical Cord Care You'll be changing a lot of diapers, so it's important to learn the drill early on. With today's modern disposables, it can be nearly impossible to tell by touch if your baby's diaper is wet. Try and plan on changing your little one after every feeding at first, as well as after every bowel movement. While her cord is attached, use the notch-cutout diapers (or fold down a regular one), and be sure to daub the stump with a wet cotton ball or swab when you change her.  Here are a few more helpful diapering tips.

The trick is to look out for signs that your baby is tired and to put her in her crib  before  she gets overly sleepy. Look out for clenched fists, yawning, eye rubbing, jerky movements, or pulling at her ear. When your new baby is a few months older, she'll probably start learning to self-soothe, which will make it easier for her to go to sleep on her own. Beware the germs.  While some exposure to germs early on can help strengthen your child's immune system, you don't want to risk her falling ...
