2.Infections: such as pneumonia, omalitis, etc.

2.Regular check-ups: The doctor will regularly check your baby's heart rate, breathing, body temperature, jaundice and other conditions.
3.Care: Newborns are very tender and need regular bathing to keep them clean. At the same time, avoid using any chemicals or skincare products to avoid causing allergic reactions.

4. Newborn feeding skills Newborns may suck weakly in the first few days, and can be fed with a small spoon or dropper. Before breastfeeding, mothers should wash their hands with warm water and disinfect bottles and nipples. Keep your baby's head and body at the same level to prevent inhalation of air during feeding, and after feeding, lift your baby upright and pat your baby's back to help expel air from your stomach.
5. Neonatal vaccination: Newborns should be vaccinated as soon as possible after birth, including BCG and hepatitis B vaccines. These vaccines can help your baby fight off infectious diseases like tuberculosis and hepatitis B. Depending on your baby's health and doctor's recommendations, other vaccines may also be recommended.
