Regularly change diapers to prevent rashes and dress the baby in soft, breathable fabrics to maintain healthy skin.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1765956472092\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can parents kiss a newborn baby?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">While parents can kiss a newborn baby, they should be cautious to avoid spreading infections. It\u2019s important for anyone kissing the baby to ensure they are healthy and practice good hygiene, such as washing hands and avoiding kissing near the baby\u2019s mouth or face if they have a cold sore or other contagious illness.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1765956479938\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can a baby sleep on a parent\u2019s chest?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A baby can sleep on a parent\u2019s chest while the parent is awake and alert to ensure the baby\u2019s safety. However, it is not recommended for a baby to sleep on a parent\u2019s chest if the parent might fall asleep, as this increases the risk of accidental suffocation and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). For safe sleep, it is best to place the baby on their back in a crib or bassinet.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1765956488666\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can a baby sleep on the side?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, it is not recommended for a baby to sleep on their side. The safest sleep position for a baby is on their back, as side-sleeping increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and accidental suffocation. Always place babies on their backs to sleep in a crib or bassinet with a firm mattress and no loose bedding.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1765956501950\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can baby eat egg yolk?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, babies can eat egg yolk but it should be cooked properly to avoid the risk of salmonella, typically starting around 8 months of age. Always introduce new foods one at a time and monitor for any signs of allergies.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1765956509740\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Does the parent\u2019s stress affect the baby?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, parental stress can affect a baby. Maternal stress during pregnancy is linked to potential impacts on foetal development, including preterm birth and low birth weight. After birth, parental stress can influence a baby\u2019s emotional and behavioural development, highlighting the importance of managing stress for the well-being of both the parent and the baby.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"References\"><\/span><strong>References<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Telofski LS, Morello AP, Mack Correa MC, Stamatas GN.
