Babies can bond with other people, even though they are primarily cared for by their primary caregivers. Other people can care for your baby and give you some much needed time off. Your baby can also learn to trust and appreciate others by bonding with others. You can get rest by having an extra hand to help your baby while you are away. In many cultures, multiple people are involved in raising a baby. Here are some ways you can bond with others through baby-sitting.

Take care of the stump.

If the stump remains after birth, it is important to avoid picking the area. The stump may be red, scaly, or discharge a yellowish fluid. This is normal and will stop in a week or so. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your baby's healthcare provider. You should not touch the stump, as it may have an infection. Bleeding is another warning sign that you should seek medical attention.

If your baby is bleeding heavily after birth, clean the area with water and a pH-neutral cleanser. Check that the cleanser's label is pH neutral. Ask your pharmacist for recommendations. After your baby's bath, allow the area to dry thoroughly. It's also important to protect the area with plastic pants or nappies. The infection may be exacerbated if you touch the area with your naked hand for the first two days.

This can cause infection and scarring.
