Most parents wait to have their baby photographed around 4-6 weeks of age. This gives the infant’s head time to shapen, and for any bruising from the use of forceps during delivery to go away. Also, some infants have rashy, dry skin that will clear up in the first few weeks.
Your infant as an individual
Since your first portrait session will be when your baby is 4-6 weeks old, don’t be surprised if several of your individual portraits are of the baby sleeping, yawning and curled in the fetal position. That is what they do best at this age!
It’s also a great age to document their tiny fingers and toes with close-ups of the individual body parts. Having several close-ups of individual areas lends itself to making a fun collage style portrait of your baby.
Minor props can add some interest to your infants first portraits. An embroidered blanket, a single long stem rose or daisy, oversized gift tags reading “Gift from God” or a pile of soft towels with a rubber duckie & wash tub can all make for cute portraits. But, don’t get too carried away with the props and forget to focus on the baby!
Your infant as a new family member
Since your infant is a new member of the family, it’s a good idea to do some family poses. Traditional full family shots are fine, but at this age, the creative images seem more compelling. One of my favorite poses is having the parent’s hands cradle the newborn, showing the sizes of the adult hands against the tiny new baby. This close-up portrait is a fun use of scale to show how small your baby really is, and shows a family connection (especially if parents are wearing wedding bands) while giving your baby some posture.
Pictures of mother and child can be very compelling also. Mom’s delicate hands caressing the tiny infant’s hands or feet are adorable. An emotional pose that you can ask for is having the infant sleep on the mothers chest, nuzzling at her neck. The close bond of mother and child is always a touching moment that should be documented.
Fun poses with dad include a close-up of the infant grabbing one of dad’s big fingers. Or ask your photographer to do one of dad’s large foot with the infants tiny foot sitting on top. The scale between the two is always dramatic.
Preparing your infant
To prepare for these sessions, be sure to give your baby a bath and bring extra wipes for a last minute nose cleaning. Keep a small towel handy for any burps and the inevitable tears. A touch of Vaseline should also be on hand to moisten dry lips.
If your infant has a significant amount of hair, a moist towel can be used to smooth the hair into place. Never make your infant wear an elastic headband. If it shifts or isn’t worn throughout the entire session, you will see markings on the infant’s head. If you must decorate their hair, use tiny clips or tie-in bows.
Be sure to pick clothes that fits your baby without sagging around the diaper or squeezing the baby too snug around the neck or tummy. Dressing the baby in plain onesies or a diaper cover are the best option. Adult type outfits of shirts and pants aren’t appropriate at this age. Be sure to take a bib and a few changes of clothes with you to your session just incase your little one gets messy.
Also remember that your baby may not be themselves under bright studio lights. With most infant sessions, your window of opportunity for great moments happens in the first 10-15 minutes. After that they get nervous about the lights, being away from their parents and aren’t sure of what to do with all the attention. Just remember to give you infant lots of cuddles and reassurance throughout the process and you’re bound to have a memorable portrait experience!

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
In the United States, SIDS is the third leading cause of death in infants between 1 month and 12 months of age. It primarily strikes children one to six months old—57 percent of SIDS victims are two to four months old and 95 percent are less than six months old. Since 1989, when more than 5,600 infants died of SIDS, the number of cases has decreased steadily in the United States. In 1998 about 2,800 infants died of SIDS . About 60 percent of infants who die of SIDS are males. Native American and African American infants are at highest risk.
Studies show an association between SIDS and one or more risk factors. SIDS is more common in infants with low birth weights—those weighing 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) or less at birth. SIDS is more common in infants whose mothers are under 20 years old, unmarried, have had inadequate prenatal care, did not breast-feed the infant, or have more than one infant. There is a higher incidence of SIDS among infants whose mothers smoked during pregnancy or after birth. Risk also increases in households where the father or another family member smoked—research indicates that infants exposed to cigarette smoke only after birth are twice as likely to die of SIDS. Use of illegal drugs during pregnancy is another major risk factor.
Despite the various risk factors, the cause of SIDS remains unknown. Many researchers suggest that infants who die of SIDS are born with undetected conditions that make them more vulnerable to physical and environmental stresses. Most theories about the actual cause of death focus on difficulties with breathing. Insufficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs may be caused by blockage of the air passages, faulty breathing reflexes, or problems with the brain’s regulation of breathing. Abnormal heart rates or rhythms may also be involved in these deaths. A 1998 study by researchers in Italy showed that babies who have a heartbeat abnormality known as long Q-T syndrome are 41 times as likely to die of SIDS as babies with normal heartbeats. Other possible contributing factors include poor muscle tone and unstable body temperature.
In cases of sudden, unexpected infant deaths, SIDS is listed as the cause of death only after all other possible causes are eliminated including brain defects, heart disease, acute (sudden) illness like meningitis, or child abuse. A thorough examination of the infant, including a complete autopsy, examination of the infant’s sleeping environment, and review of the medical history of both the victim and parents, is conducted in all suspected SIDS cases.
While the cause of SIDS remains unknown, recent advances in prevention have targeted significant risk factors. In 1992 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended that infants be placed on their backs to sleep. One study found that since this recommendation was made public, the rate of SIDS decreased by 38 percent in the United States between 1992 and 1996. This AAP recommendation is for healthy infants only. A physician may suggest another sleeping position if an infant has a condition that affects breathing or swallowing.
An infant’s crib should be furnished with a firm mattress that fits snugly against the crib’s sides. Infants sleeping facedown on soft surfaces such as water beds, beanbags, or pillows, may form a hollow pocket near the face on the sleeping surface. This pocket may cause infants to inhale their own carbon-dioxide-rich exhalations and suffocate from oxygen deprivation. Heavy bedding and soft stuffed animals that can trap air in the bed should also be avoided.
Research indicates that overheating from too much clothing, exceptionally warm bedding, or a hot room may significantly increase the risk of SIDS for an infant with a common cold or other infection. A constant indoor temperature of 20° to 21° C (68° to 70° F) will minimize overheating.
Breast-feeding appears to decrease the risk of SIDS, apparently because it helps prevent respiratory, gastric, and intestinal illnesses, infections, and certain immune disorders that may make infants more susceptible to SIDS. Eliminating smoking around the baby also decreases risk. A doctor may recommend the use of a heart and respiratory monitor for babies at high risk for SIDS. This machine sounds an alarm when the baby stops breathing or when the heart rate is too high or low. Infant caretakers are encouraged to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in case an infant stops breathing (see Artificial Respiration).
SIDS is a devastating event for parents, who need support and reassurance for many months afterwards. SIDS support groups, comprised of other parents who have had similar experiences, can be particularly valuable.
