Changing the direction of which way your baby sleeps every day strengthens their muscles and can prevent them from developing a flat head (plagiocephaly). 😴
Use the easy Sleep Switch, Left, Right, Repeat method ↔️ and always make sure your baby is sleeping on their back no matter which direction they're in! 👶
For crib safety, it's also important that there's no soft bedding, including blankets and stuffed animals. ❌ 🧸

New parents who give birth and breastfeed their babies tend to get the most attention. So as a new father or parent, you might feel that your involvement doesn't matter. 👨🍼
However, that is far from true! Your role is a significant one and there's a lot that you can do to care for your baby. 👶
Click here to read the many ways the involvement of new fathers and parents makes a difference.
"While fathers and partners may not be able to breastfeed, their involvement makes a huge difference in the success of nursing. Be available to bring the baby to the mother and help her with positioning.
Pro tip: Nursing a baby makes mothers very thirsty, so bringing them a glass of water can make you their hero. When the feeding is complete, change the baby's diaper and ensure they return safely to their crib or bassinet."
