Your newborn safety is a top priority. Here are essential safety tips for the newborn stage:
Safe Sleep: Always place your baby on their back to sleep, on a firm mattress with no pillows, blankets, or toys.
Car Safety: Use a certified rear-facing car seat from day one—every ride, no matter how short.
Bathing: Never leave your baby unattended in the bath. Keep everything you need within arm’s reach.
Temperature Check: Dress your baby in one more layer than you would wear. Room temperature should feel comfortable to a lightly clothed adult.
Visitors & Hygiene: Ask visitors to wash their hands before holding your baby. Avoid crowded places until your baby’s immune system strengthens.
At Borneo Mother & Child Hospital, we educate new parents on safe newborn practices and provide 24/7 helpline access for urgent concerns.
