All parents make mistakes when caring for their children. Some common mistakes include panicking over minor issues like spitting up, not letting infants cry at times as a way to self-soothe, and waking sleeping babies to feed. Other mistakes are confusing spit-up for vomiting, not addressing a fever in a newborn, and neglecting oral care from an early age. With awareness, parents can avoid these mistakes and enjoy their time with their infants.
