Your child's skin is soft and sensitive. So choose comfortable baby clothes, without environmental toxins or rough details. Several layers of clothing means you can regulate their temperature, so they don't get too hot or cold.

You'll soon be adept at changing nappies, but it's good to consider a few things from the outset.

Suddenly your baby sticks out a little white tongue instead of a pink one. Thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth which many small babies get.

Some babies love having a bath, while others don't enjoy it at all. If your baby seems not to like the water at all, wait a few days before trying again.

Should you change nappies in the middle of the night? Do you need to use water to cleanse baby's bottom if the nappy is only wet not soiled? When and how to change a nappy is an art and science to some, but here are a few tips.

No matter the care you take, it's hard to avoid the skin on your baby's bottom getting red and sore now and then. Nappy/diaper rash, which in rare cases results in nappy thrush and weeping sores, stings and causes pain.

You may have bought clothes and other things for your baby before it was born. Or friends and relatives may have offered to buy some well-needed clothes. Remember not only to choose clothes in the smallest size, since your baby will grow out of them in a couple of weeks.

All babies need their nappies changed. And if you plan it as well as possible for everyone, taking into consideration matters such as safety, your working position and function, it can be a special time. If you are calm and make sure everything's nice and comfortable, your baby will often reward you with a smile and deep eye contact.
