Does this sound like you? You are not alone. Your answer is here.
The baby has been crying for an hour. Is it hunger? Sleep? Pain? Colic?
In the guide you will see how to tell types of crying apart (point 15) and the evidence-based steps for colic (point 5). We show what to do, and what not to do, when nothing seems to work.
I panic about hurting the baby at the first bath. What if the baby slips? How do I care for the cord? Will it fall off soon?
Learn a safe, calm bath step by step (point 2) and dry cord care (point 21), backed by the Spanish paediatric association. We show how to hold your baby firmly and how to tell the cord is healing well.
The baby has done a green poo. Is that normal? And those little spots on the face? Is it dermatitis or something else?
You are not alone. The guide has a visual guide to newborn stools (point 8) so you know what to expect each day. We also show how to tell nappy rash (point 7) from other common skin rashes (point 26).
I wake with a start in the middle of the night just to check the baby is breathing. Sudden infant death frightens me.
Fear of sudden infant death is the main reason nights feel so anxious. This guide gives a clear checklist for safer sleep (point 27), how to bed-share safely if you choose to (point 4), and the warning signs for when to see a paediatrician straight away (point 39). With clear information, you can rest.
