Features Employment Continuing medical education Customer service Site feedback Trust yourself and enjoy your baby Babies have many new things to do in their first weeks after birth. They learn to breathe, eat, and digest food for the first time.
Babies also start to learn about the world they have just become a part of.
With so much change, it's easy to understand that they sometimes feel happy and secure, and sometimes cross and impatient. Some have never taken care of a baby or spent much time around infants before, and newborns can seem very small and helpless. Even if you have cared for babies before, taking yours home can be overwhelming. This section of the site will give you basic information about baby care. It will answer questions you may have about your new baby.
