A newborn baby is the purest form of existence that has been created by God. So pure, Unadulterated, and lovable.

A newborn baby is like a meditation for the soul. Once you are off front of the hospital and you bring this tiny life to your hope, there are 100’s of questions that keep popping your mind, and for all those questions, we are there for you.

How much breastfeeding is enough? I am not getting enough milk? My baby is not sleeping? Does he jitter at times? What’s the startle reflex? Is swaddling a good thing?

And the list is endless. Pediatricians at Dr Dad make sure to double-check the content that they are delivering for you. Our community of parents and doctors help each other and we form this one the best resource website in the world. Thanks to you.

We think we have covered a lot, and we keep adding every day, but in case you want to read about something specific and you don’t find our website, feel free to write to us at info@drdad.in , and we will write it for you.
