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 -
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 gm 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 using cloth diapers, wash them in hot water with a disinfectant like dettol.
03:49	Its 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.
