| The entire family gets excited upon the birth of a newborn and Everyone wants to see the baby and hold the baby.

|-
| 00:34
| Therefore it is necessary to set some key rules while handling a newborn baby.

|-
| 00:40
| Newborns don’t have a strong immune system. This makes them prone to infections.

|-
| 00:48
| To protect the baby from infections it is important to have clean hands before touching or holding the baby

|-
| 00:57
| To clean the hands wash with soap and water and dry well using a clean dry cloth before holding the newborn.

|-
| 01:07
| Now comes the first thing to learn,which is how to hold a baby.
|-
| 01:11
| Hold the baby by supporting her head and neck with one hand and bottom with the other hand.

|-
| 01:19
| To lay a baby down always support the baby’s head and neck, and hold her bottom as well

|-
|01:26
| On the other hand, to wake a sleeping baby up, do the following

|-
| 01:31
| Tickle the baby's feet or lift and support the baby in a sitting position or gently touch the baby’s ear.

|-
|01:42
| Always remember, that a newborn baby is sensitive

|-
| 01:46
| Some precautions to be taken while handling a newborn are -

The newborn is not ready for rough play

|-
| 01:55
| Therefore, do not jiggle the baby on the knee or throw her in the air

|-
| 02:01
| Never shake the newborn, whether in play or in frustration

|-
| 02:05
| Avoid sudden jerky movements of the baby’s neck

All these may cause internal injuries to the baby

|-
| 02:14
| We will now learn about Umbilical cord care at home.

|-
| 02:18
| When the baby is in the mother’s womb, the umbilical cord is the baby's lifeline

However, it is no longer needed once the baby is born.

|-
| 02:30
| Within a few minutes after birth as soon as the cord stops pulsating, it is clamped.

|-
| 02:37
| By the time the baby goes home from the hospital the cord begins to dry and shrivel

|-
| 02:45
| The cord falls off by itself in about one to two weeks.

|-
| 02:50
| Please note that The umbilical cord may be a place for infection to enter the baby's body

|-
| 02:57
| Hence, it is essential to take care of it properly.

|-
| 03:02
| For that, please remember Baby’s cord should be kept dry and exposed to air

|-
| 03:09
| Only sponge baths should be given until the cord falls off

|-
| 03:14
| The cord should be kept on the outside of the baby's nappy or can also be folded down to the top edge of the nappy.

|-
|03:24
| Please consult the baby’s doctor if there is - Bleeding from the end of the cord or the area near the skin

|-
| 03:32
| Pus

Swelling or redness around the navel

|-
| 03:36
| Signs that the navel area is painful to the baby

|-
| 03:41
| And if the cord has not fallen off by one month of age

|-
| 03:46
| Sometimes it might also happen that - There may be a small amount of blood when the stump is about to fall off

and also after the cord falls off, but this should be stopped quickly.

|-
| 04:01
| Remember, never pull the cord off.

|-
| 04:04
| Also, Do not apply any cream or powder or

|-
| 04:08
| Tie any bandage on the baby’s umbilicus after the cord has fallen.

|-
| 04:13
| For the nutritional aspects of the newborn care we will discuss - How to feed the baby

|-
| 04:20
| The newborn should be breastfed within 1 hour after delivery.

|-
| 04:25
| Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first 6 months.

|-
| 04:30
| Additionally, the mother should- provide adequate skin to skin contact to the baby and observe the hunger cues of the baby

|-
| 04:40
| All these points have been discussed in other tutorials of the same series

|-
| 04:46
| In some cases, newborns may need to be awakened frequently so that they are fed enough.

especially the smaller- premature babies.

|-
|04:57
| Incase, a baby healthy or premature, does not seem to be interested in sucking then

the mother should consult a doctor or health worker

|-
| 05:09
| While breastfeeding, babies often swallow air, which can make them fussy.
|-
| 05:15
| To prevent this, make the baby sit and burp after every feed.

|-
| 05:20
| It has been explained in another tutorial of the same series.

|-
|05:25
| Next is diapering: After each bowel movement or if the cloth nappy is wet- lay the baby on her back and remove the dirty nappy

|-
| 05:37
| Use water and soft washcloth to gently clean and wipe the baby's genital area

|-
| 05:44
| Do not apply soap on baby’s genital area

whenever wiping a girl, wipe her from front to back to avoid a urinary tract infection

|-
| 05:55
| The Mother or caregiver should always -thoroughly wash hands before and after changing the nappy.

|-
| 06:03
| Sometimes it could happen that a baby may suffer from Diaper rash.

|-
| 06:08
| Diaper rash is a common concern

typically the rash is red and bumpy and will go away in a few days with warm baths

|-
| 06:18
| Some diaper cream and at times without any diaper or nappy on the genital area

|-
| 06:25
| Most rashes happen because the baby's skin is sensitive and becomes irritated by the wet nappy.

|-
| 06:33
| To prevent or treat diaper rash change the baby's nappy often, especially after bowel movements.

|-
| 06:41
|Gently clean the area with a soft cloth and water

avoid using wipes as sometimes they can be irritating.

|-
|06:50
| Apply a very thick layer of diaper rash or "barrier" cream

|-
| 06:55
| Creams with '''zinc oxide''' are preferred as they form a barrier against moisture

|-
|07:03
| Wash the baby’s nappies using dye and fragrance-free detergents.

|-
| 07:08
| Let the baby stay without a diaper or a nappy for part of the day.

This gives the skin a chance to air out.

|-
|07:18
| Incase, the diaper rash continues for more than 3 days or seems to be getting worse, please consult the doctor

|-
| 07:27
| It may be caused by a fungal infection that requires a prescription

|-
| 07:33
| In the end, let’s discuss about baby’s sleeping pattern''':'''

|-
| 07:38
| Babies sleep for around 14 to 16 hours or more, in a day

|-
| 07:43
| Newborns typically sleep for a period of 2–4 hours

|-
|07:48
| Many newborns have their days and nights "mixed up."

|-
| 07:52
| They tend to be awake and alert at night and sleepy during the day.

|-
| 07:58
| One way to help them sleep more at night is to keep minimum stimulation at night

example, keep the lights low by using a night lamp and during the day time try to keep her awake a little longer by talking and playing with her.

|-
| 08:17
| The mother or caregiver should remember that a baby should always be on her back while sleeping

|-
| 08:24
| This reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome.

|-
| 08:30
| For other safe sleeping practices, avoid using the following items in their crib -

Blankets, Quilts, Sheep skins, stuffed toys and pillows

|-
| 08:44
| All these can suffocate the baby

|-
| 08:47
| Also, be sure to alternate the position of the baby's head each night - first right, then left, and so on

|-
| 08:58
| This will prevent the development of flat spot on one side of the baby’s head.

|-
| 09:04
| This brings us to the end of this tutorial on Basics of newborn care.
