When a baby is born, new parents may be a little caught off guard.
I sorted out how to take care of a newborn born from 1 to 7 days after birth.
I hope it can help new parents!
Day 1
1.Vaccination: Hepatitis B vaccine and BCG vaccine are given within 24 hours of birth.
2.Meconium: Dark green meconium will be pulled out 6-12 hours after birth, if it is not passed for more than 24 hours, you should inform your doctor.

3.Poop: 2-4 days after the baby is born, the stool will gradually turn yellow-green, indicating that the baby's intestinal function is functioning normally.
4.Drinking water: Babies who are exclusively breastfed do not need additional water up to 6 months of age, and most of their breast milk is water.
5.Choking: Don't pick up immediately after choking, don't shake hard, lie on your side and pat gently.

4.Spitting up: Spitting up is a common physiological phenomenon, don't worry, pat your baby's back sideways to prevent milk aspiration.
Day 7
1.Hiccups: Babies are still immature and will often have frequent hiccups, so you can feed some warm water or flick the soles of your feet.
2.Touch: Between two feedings, when you are full of energy, it is best to take a bath, give the baby more touch and massage, so that the baby feels loved, and do not force the baby to touch when he is crying.
3.When bathing your baby, be careful not to get water into your ears.
4.Cleaning: The baby's neck, armpits, groin, etc., are easy to redness and dirt, so pay attention to cleaning and drying them daily to keep them dry.
