In performing the case assessment of the baby, the sleeper environment should be safe from any potential dangers. The crib should be meeting safety regulation, and the mattress should be firm with no incline or decline. Place the crib out of reach of windows, cords and other hazards.
2. Feeding Practices
It is important to have relevant understanding for whichever feeding method a mother has chosen: breastfeeding or formula feeding. Some of the benefits that come with breastfeeding include; Bonding and enhanced immunity. If one chooses to use formula the right preparation must be considered. In any case, feeding on demand is useful for setting up healthy feeding habits for the baby. New mothers experiencing challenges can get a lot of benefits from lactation consults.
3. Hygiene and Health
Personal cleanliness is an important aspect when taking care of a new born baby are at home. Washing the baby and his/her surrounds often also prevents him/her from catching an infection.

It is also important to aspire to consistency within feeding, sleeping and playing schedules. This creates a level of comfort for the baby and if the mother is out in the community it can make life more orderly.
