Immunisation is an important way to protect babies from some very serious illnesses.
Find out about immunisations to help protect your baby from infectious diseases.
Ask your doctor or child health nurse.
The first immunisation is for hepatitis and is offered just after birth in hospitals.
More are then due at two months of age.
Discipline
Discipline is about teaching and there are lots of things you can teach babies as you care for them.
Punishment is not useful for babies because they don't understand why they are being hurt and it is likely to make them afraid when they need to be learning to trust.
After 6 months or so you can say "No" and give a simple explanation when your baby is doing something wrong. For example: "No - that hurts". But don't expect your baby to be able to really learn what to do and what not to do for many months yet.
It is very important NOT to shake your baby because it can cause brain damage. If you are feeling very angry, put your baby somewhere safe and take a break or call someone until you can get back in control of your feelings.
