Motherhood is never an easy thing, and you need to be double-cautious after your infant is born. Right from giving the baby enough nourishment and allowing sleeping for enough time, there are many other ways in which you can take care of the normal routine of the baby. However, there are 7 signs that will tell you whether your baby’s health is well or not. Check out the following:

2. Check the rate or urination and the color or the stool: it is important to look after the metabolic action in the baby’s body, and if you see that your baby gives out bad-smelling stool, or red or deep yellowish urine, then that can be the instance when you need to take your baby to the doctor.
