Study your baby. Become an expert on your baby, because no one else ever will. Of course, they're not a strict formula that must be practiced all the time for every baby. Still, by using some or all of these techniques, you'll develop a sixth sense about your baby that will aid you in your parenting efforts. Keep your newborn with you as much as possible, rooming in with her at the hospital if you feel up to it.
Familiarity builds confidence.
Closeness promotes familiarity, and when you keep your baby in your arms and in contact with your body, the connection between you deepens and you become more sensitive to his needs. There's no one right place for a baby to sleep. Still, sharing sleep is valuable, particularly for parents who don't have much daytime contact with their baby, because it allows them to reconnect at night. Extra touch builds extra intuition. A baby's cry is designed to ensure his survival.
