Nutrition 0–3 months
Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended where possible; formula is an option when medically indicated. Feed on cue — no fixed schedules for young infants.
Safe sleep
- Back to sleep, firm flat surface, no loose bedding.
- Room-sharing without bed-sharing is commonly advised.
- Avoid overheating and smoke exposure.
Hygiene and vaccines
Wash hands before handling baby; follow national immunization schedule. Umbilical cord care per local midwife or hospital instructions.
Urgent warning signs
Fever in a baby under 3 months, poor feeding, fewer wet diapers, breathing difficulty, or blue lips — seek emergency care immediately.
Supporting the mother
Rest, hydration, and accepting help with meals supports recovery and breastfeeding.
