Although babies bond with their primary caregivers, they also bond with other babies. People can help you take care of your baby or give you some needed rest. Your baby can also learn to trust and appreciate others by bonding with others. You can get rest by having an extra hand to help your baby while you are away. In many cultures, there are multiple people involved in the raising of a child. Here are some ways you can bond with others through baby-sitting.
Take care of the stump.
It is important not to pick the stump if it remains after birth. The stump could be red, scaly and or release a yellowish fluid. This is normal and will disappear in about a week. Contact your baby's healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms. You should not touch the stump, as it may have an infection. Bleeding is another sign you should seek medical attention.
After giving birth, if your baby is bleeding profusely, you can clean the area with water. You should ensure that the cleanser is pH-neutral. Ask your pharmacist to recommend a product. After giving your baby a bath, let the area dry thoroughly. You should also protect the area using plastic nappies or pants. You should avoid touching the area for the first few day. This may worsen the infection.

Baby's teeth care
Your baby's oral health starts before their first tooth is born. This is especially important in the first months of life, when the baby's mouth is still developing.

Baby teeth play an essential role in gum development, as well future permanent teeth. Poor dental hygiene can lead to crooked or misaligned teeth, as well as missing teeth. The loss of baby teeth can cause permanent teeth to fall out, which can affect the child's ability to speak and bite. You can help your baby for the rest their lives by taking care of their teeth. Avoid putting juice or milk near your baby's bedtime. Fluoridated water will help to fight off bacteria.
Care of the umbilical cord
When baby is born, umbilical cord care should begin immediately. Within a few days, the stump should fall off. If it doesn't fall off by then, clean the area with gauze and water. Then, sponge-bath your baby. It is important not to pull the cord stump so that it falls out. This can cause infection and scarring.
The stump will often start to bleed. This is normal and will disappear on its own. The stump will become pink scar tissue, called a "granuloma", if it isn't dried within one week. Granulomas may occasionally bleed a little bit, but they will eventually disappear. However, if you notice continuous bleeding after a week, you should contact your provider to ensure that it isn't an infection.
