It is hard when your baby is sick. Common health problems in babies include colds, coughs, fevers, and vomiting. Babies also commonly have skin problems, like diaper rash or cradle cap. Many of these problems are not serious. But then the baby can suffer other problems needing immediate or increased attention. It is important to know how to help your sick baby, and to know the warning signs for more serious problems. Trust your intuition - if you are worried about your baby, call your doctor right away.
Babies need attention by their mothers on other aspects that are very important, such as Baby feeding habits, Baby hygiene, Baby skin care and general care; failure to do so may give rise to a number of health problems, including sickness or other serious issues needing doctor's prescription.
The author Vikas Khatri explains the proper method of taking care regarding Baby feeding, hygiene, skin & general care and common health problems. Each chapter concludes with a section on FAQs (frequently asked questions) that answers many of the worries mothers are afflicted with.
