What are the four basic needs of a newborn?
After birth, our baby needs you. They need skin-to-skin time, you to talk to them, clean diapers, nutrition and sleep. That is all. Begin with the basics and as our baby develops, add in a few things each week to help meet their changing emotional, nutritional and developmental needs.

What is good for baby development?
Most babies love the gentle rocking motion and being so close to you. This is great for bonding with our baby and their emotional development.
