Black,
white, and red objects are what your baby will see best. He
will also love to study your face. Your newborn baby will
focus best on objects that are between 8 and 14 inches away
from his eyes -- this range seems to have been selected by
nature as it is the distance at which a nursing baby sees
his mother's face.
When
your baby cries, try to comfort
him -- very young babies cannot manipulate you or be spoiled
by too much attention. Many studies have shown that parents
who respond quickly and consistently to their baby's cries
have babies who consistently cry less-- and the sooner they
respond, the quicker their baby settles back down.
Take
a warm bath with your baby -- the warm water and skin to skin
contact will calm both of you.
Your
baby's first doctors visit will be scheduled for around two
weeks after birth. Your Pediatrician will take this time to
get to know you and your baby, through asking about sleep
and eating patterns and social activities. Your baby's measurements
will be taken to check for overall physical development over
the past few weeks.
You
may begin to feel exhausted from waking at night for feedings.
Take naps during the day when possible -- sleep when your
baby sleeps. The housework can wait!
