Caring for your baby alone gives you a chance to get to know her better. In time, you will develop your own ways to do things with your child. Time with your baby can be scary at first. Try short periods of time to start, maybe carrying her for a walk, or letting your partner sleep while you do the morning feeding. Doctors recommend starting a series of shots to protect your baby from serious diseases.
Free immunizations are available in most communities.
Your doctor or clinic may suggest a slightly different timing of shots. It's easy to catch up at any time. Baby shots do have some very rare risks and side effects, but they are safer than the diseases would be. If you have questions about shots for your baby, talk to your baby's doctor or nurse. While you may want to try anything to get a full night's sleep, solid foods probably aren't the answer.
