Essential Tips to Take Care of your Infant Baby

 

 

 

 

A very warm welcome to all my readers, today we're going to learn about the ways to take care of an infant. Infants are very fragile and prone to various diseases therefore taking extra care of new-born babies is essential. Taking care of a new-born is an arduous task, especially for new mothers. After the baby is born, the following weeks are very crucial and parents should ensure that the new-born baby is safe with the necessary vaccination on time.

 

Breastfeeding is essential for a new-born. Lactating mothers should breastfeed their babies which is very beneficial for infants. Infants should be breastfed at an interval of 2-3 hours and should be burped after it. It is recommended that a new-born should be fed nothing other than breast milk for 3 to 4 months after birth. After 4 months the baby can eat semi-solid foods like lentil soup, vegetable soup, etc. After 6 months, only breast milk is not enough for the proper development of the baby and parents should start feeding solid foods to the baby.

 

Breast milk is very healthy for a baby as it contains antibodies that help in the development of the baby's immunity system and helps it to combat diseases. If the mother is having trouble lactating, there are various medicines available. However, one must consult a doctor before taking any medication. 

 

Taking care of a new-born’s hygiene is very tricky. Parents should change the diapers often as wet diapers lead to rashes in the private regions of the body. Keep in mind that the baby should be kept diaper-free for a few hours a day so that rashes don't occur. Only good quality creams, moisturizers, and oils should be used on the baby.

 

During winters, mothers should adopt a method called Kangaroo Mother Care which helps in regulating the baby's body temperature. Mothers should hug the baby tightly which transfers the mother's warmth to the baby. The baby should be gently massaged as massaging improves blood circulation and digestion and it also helps the baby to sleep peacefully.

 

 

  

Rush to a paediatrician if your baby is showing the following symptoms-

• Abnormal behaviour or irregularities in the baby's normal behavioural pattern

• Irregular sleep schedule

• Difficulty in breathing or taking long breaths for a long time

• Blue or black spots on the body or lips

• If the baby’s body seems yellow, consult a doctor immediately

• Keep in mind that the baby is consuming an adequate amount of milk in summer.

• Check if the baby is urinating properly

• Swelling in the abdomen area

• Constant vomiting or fever.

 

It is very crucial to take proper care of an infant as even a minor fever can prove fatal, consult a paediatrician if you see any abnormalities in your baby's behavior.

Body Donation

Know how Donating One’s Body can Save Many Lives and Bring a Change in Society     My dear friends, today, through this blog I would like to impart my opinion on body donation . Donating one’s body is the most significant kind of donation. In some foreign countries, it is a common practice to donate one’s body, and it is imprinted on the donor’s license so that if he dies in an accident, his/her body is donated to the medical center. Unfortunately, this tradition is not practiced in India yet. Therefore, I am here to spread awareness about donating your body. If we are Hindu, we burn the bodies; if we practice Islam, we bury the corpse. The dead body eventually gets degraded. On the contrary, if you donate your body, you can help many medical students in their studies. Also, if a person donates his body, some of his organs can also be used in the transplant purposes. A person can donate his limbs, eyes, liver, lungs, heart, and pancreas among other few body parts. It takes ...
