A BABY IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING ON EARTH
Newborn babies can seem very fragile, but they are really very sturdy. They like to be held and touched. Babies also respond to your voice; sing, talk gently to them and love them.
All babies cry. It doesn’t mean that you are doing something wrong. Check if they are hungry, wet or uncomfortable in any way. Be as reassuring as possible. Sometimes, babies just cry. They have lived in a warm, safe place for the nine months before they were born and now they must get used to this big, noisy world. If you feel that the crying is making you upset, take a deep breath and tell yourself it isn’t your fault. ALL BABIES CRY!
