Welcome to this spoken tutorial on neonatal childcare. In this tutorial we will learn about how to take care of a newborn baby, common problems faced by a new mother and how to tackle those problems. Dr. Anjali enters Anita's house and expresses her happiness on her newborn child. And Dr. Anjali notices Anita is holding her baby in a wrong way. She tells Anita to be careful while carrying the baby. Dr. Anjali shows her how to support the head of the baby and cradle it when holding the baby upright or when laying it down. The doctor advices Anita to never handle the baby roughly. Anita tells the doctor that she is new to all this and asks her for her advice on taking better care of a newborn baby. Dr. Anjali happily agrees. She points out that first and foremost important is to wash your hands with soap or charcoal ash before handling the newborn baby's. Young babies have not yet built up a strong immune system. So they are susceptible to infections. Anita asks the doctor how often should I feed my baby? The doctor tells Anita that a newborn baby needs to be fed every 2-3 hours. She explains that breastfeeding is most important for the health of the baby and development of the baby's immune system. Also, if your breastfeeding give your baby the chance to nurse about 10-15 minutes at each breast. Then Anita asks the doctor about formula feeding the baby. The lady doctor states that if your formula feeding a baby like for example milk substitutes, then it will most likely take about 60-90 grams at each feeding. Anita then asks the doctor about when and how can she give the baby a bath. The doctor explains that during the first few weeks the baby is very delicate. She says that we should give the baby only sponge bath until the umbilical cord falls off the circumcision heals or see the naval heals completely. The doctor explains that after the initial period, 2-3 baths per week with a mild soap are sufficient for the baby. This can continue during the first year of the baby. Prequen bathing may be dry to the skin. Doctor then points out that the baby has some rashes. Anita gets scared. She asks the doctor how to take care of such rashes. The doctor explains that the rashes are because of the wet diaper. She further says that you should change your baby's cloth diaper frequently and as soon as possible after bowel movements. After cleaning the area with mild soap and water, wipe it dry, then apply some baby powder over it to keep it moisture free. The doctor further explains that if you are using cloth diapers, wash them in hot water with a disinfectant like that all. It's also a good idea to let the baby go undyped for a part of the day. Anita thanks Dr. Anjali for her advice and says she will keep them in mind. It brings us to the end of this tutorial. Watch the video available at the following link.
