Important Tips about New Born Baby/Child Health Care

Newborns have very poor thermoregulation, so they quickly become overwintered.  Babies born after a full 37 weeks in the womb have fewer complications.  Premature babies require special precautions.  The baby stays warm in the mother's womb.  So he feels cold at earth's temperature.  Apart from that, it takes time for the child's body to fully develop the heat control system.  The child should be kept at a warm temperature.  If the room temperature is 25 celsius, wrap it in a cotton cloth and a sackcloth.  If below this level, sweater should be used.  Babies usually sweat while breastfeeding.  So loosen the sweater at that time.  In winter, newborns must wear gloves, socks and earmuffs.

 * If any member of the family or a relative has cold, cough, viral fever etc., they should avoid coming near the mother and newborn baby.

 * Avoid taking the child outside the house in winter.  If you want to put it in the sun, put it next to the window or from the balcony of the house.

 * It is better not to bathe the baby until the navel is dry.  Bathing twice a week is enough.  Close the doors and windows of the room before taking a bath.  Take a bath with lukewarm water (45 C), soft cloth or sponge, towel, vaseline, diaper etc.
