Caring properly for your newborn from the moment you bring them home is essential for their health and safety. Creating a secure home environment is a critical component of comprehensive newborn care. Infants under 3 years old are particularly vulnerable to illness, as their immune systems are still developing and lack fully mature defenses against infections.
