Most babies can start solid foods around 6 months, when they can sit with support and show interest in food.
Newborns usually sleep 14–17 hours in a 24-hour period, with short wake windows.
A newborn only needs a bath 2–3 times a week. Daily baths are not necessary and can dry out their skin.
Breastfeeding offers more natural nutrients, but both breastfeeding and formula feeding are healthy options depending on the mother’s comfort and baby’s needs.
Most babies have their first check-up within 2–3 days after coming home and then follow a regular vaccination and growth schedule.
