infections until cord falls i.e. 1-2 weeks.
2. You can give sponge bath to the baby until
3-4 weeks of life, but unnecessary
exposure or undressing should be avoided
3. The oil massage is both culturally and
scientifically acceptable as it provides
insulation against heat and prevents
insensible water loss.

 Breastfeeding:
1. Baby should be put to mother’s breast
within half hour of birth or as soon as
possible the mother has recovered from
the exertion of the labor.
2. No prelacteal feeds to be given and

additional food or drink, not even water
for six months of period.

latched properly or not, & take care for
signs of latching i.e.

(fish lips) and flat against your
breast.
 Your child's chin and nose are
touching your breast.
 You see and hear your child
sucking and swallowing.

 Care of umbilical cord:

1. Inspect the cord for bleeding which
commonly occurs due to shrinkage of cord
and loosening of ligature.
2. No dressing should be applied to the cord,
it should be kept open and dry.
3. Normally it falls off after 5-10 days but
may take longer especially when infected.
4. Application of gention violet or triple dye
is not advocated anymore.
 Care of eyes:
1. Eyes should be cleaned using sterile
cotton swabs soaked in sterile water. Each
eye should be cleaned using a separate
swab.
2. Application of ‘kajal’ in eyes must be
avoided to prevent infection or lead
poisoning.
3. The eyes should be observed for redness,
sticky discharge or excessive tearing for
early detection of problems & prompt
management.

2. When wiping a girl, wipe her bottom from

infection.

A vaccination schedule is a series of vaccinations,

including the timing of all doses, which may be either
recommended or compulsory, depending on the country
of residence.
Types of immunization are:
1. Active immunization
Active immunization can occur naturally when a person
comes in contact with, for example, a microbe. The
immune system will eventually create antibodies and
other defenses against the microbe. The next time, the
immune response against this microbe can be very
efficient; this is the case in many of the childhood
infections that a person only contracts once, but then is
immune.
Artificial active immunization is where the microbe, or
parts of it, are injected into the person before they are

able to take it in naturally. If whole microbes are used,
they are pre-treated.
2. Passive immunization
Passive immunization is where pre-synthesized elements

antibodies are naturally broken down, and if there are no
B cells to produce more antibodies, they will disappear.
Passive immunization occurs physiologically, when
antibodies are transferred from mother
to fetus during pregnancy, to protect the fetus before
and shortly after birth.
Artificial passive immunization is normally administered
by injection and is used if there has been a recent
outbreak of a particular disease or as an emergency

 Vaccines are safe and effective; all vaccines are
carefully reviewed by doctors, scientists and
federal government to make sure they are safe.
 A vaccine not only protects your child from
diseases but also the others whom you care for.
 Sometimes a vaccinated child may get a disease
but it may of less severe sign and symptoms as
compared to a non vaccinated child, therefore it
can be cured.
