- Bundling up a baby too much to the point that they overheat or it impacts their blood circulation.
- Shaking a baby is, of course, something that should never be done. It can lead to damage to their brains and shaken baby syndrome.
- When you change your baby’s diaper, don’t wipe from back to front. This can cause infections.
- Check on your baby throughout the night to ensure their sleeping position stays correct and safe.
