| 00:02 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Neonatal Childcare. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about: |
| 00:09 | * How to take care of a newborn baby |
| 00:12 | * Common problems faced by a new mother and |
| 00:15 | * How to tackle those problems. |
| 00:18 | Dr. Anjali enters Anita’s house and expresses her happiness on her newborn child. |
| 00:25 | Dr. Anjali notices, Anita is holding her baby in a wrong way. |
| 00:30 | She tells Anita to be careful while carrying the baby. |
| 00:35 | Dr. Anjali shows her how to support the head of the baby and cradle it |
| 00:41 | when holding the baby upright or |
| 00:43 | when laying it down. |
| 00:45 | The doctor advices Anita to never handle the baby roughly. |
| 00:51 | Anita tells the doctor that she is new to all this |
| 00:55 | and asks for her advice on taking better care of her newborn baby. |
| 01:02 | Dr. Anjali happily agrees. |
| 01:04 | She points out that first and foremost important is |
| 01:09 | to wash your hands with soap or charcoal-ash |
| 01:13 | before handling the newborn babies. |
| 01:15 | Young babies have not yet built up a strong immune system. |
| 01:19 | So, they are susceptible to infections. |
| 01:24 | Anita asks the doctor: “How often should I feed my baby?”. |
| 01:28 | The doctor tells Anita that a newborn baby needs to be fed every 2 to 3 hours. |
| 01:37 | She explains that breastfeeding is most important for the health of the baby and |
| 01:43 | development of the baby’s immune system. |
| 01:46 | Also, if you're breastfeeding, give your baby the chance to nurse about 10-15 minutes at each breast. |
| 01:56 | Then, Anita asks the doctor about formula-feeding the baby. |
| 02:00 | The lady doctor states that |
| 02:02 | if you're formula-feeding your baby like for eg:milk-substitutes, |
| 02:08 | then it will most likely take about 60-90 gms at each feeding. |
| 02:14 | Anita then asks the doctor about when and how can she give the baby a bath. |
| 02:21 | The doctor explains that during the first few weeks, the baby is very delicate. |
| 02:28 | She says that we should give the baby only sponge bath, until |
| 02:33 | (a) the umbilical cord falls off |
| 02:37 | (b) the circumcision heals |
| 02:39 | (c) the navel heals completely. |
| 02:43 | The doctor explains that after the initial period, 2-3 baths per week with a mild soap are sufficient for the baby. |
| 02:53 | This can continue during the first year of the baby. |
| 02:56 | Frequent bathing may be drying to the skin. |
| 03:01 | Dr. Anjali then points out that the baby has some rashes. |
| 03:06 | Anita gets scared. |
| 03:08 | She asks the doctor how to take care of such rashes. |
| 03:13 | The doctor explains that the rashes are because of the wet diaper. |
| 03:19 | She further says that you should change your baby's cloth diaper frequently and as soon as possible after bowel movements. |
| 03:29 | After cleaning the area with mild soap and water, wipe it dry. |
| 03:34 | Then apply some baby powder over it to keep it moisture-free. |
| 03:39 | The doctor further explains that if you are using cloth diapers, wash them in hot water with a disinfectant like dettol. |
| 03:49 | It's also a good idea to let the baby go un-diapered for part of the day. |
| 03:55 | Anita thanks Dr. Anjali for her advice and says she will keep them in mind. |
| 04:02 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
