The body of a newborn baby is very delicate and even a little carelessness can cause great harm. Therefore, it is important that the child is taken care of with correct information. On this subject, well-known gynecologist Dr. Priya Soni has told some important things, which must be kept in mind after the birth of the child.
Avoid applying kajal in child's eyes
According to Dr. Priya, it is not at all safe to apply kajal in the eyes of a newborn baby. Generally people believe that applying kajal makes the eyes beautiful, but doctors say that it has no benefit. On the contrary, kajal can cause eye infections. Due to this, there is also a risk of blockage of the tube leading from the eye to the nose, which is called 'nasolacrimal duct'. Therefore, avoid applying kajal in the eyes of a newborn baby.
Do not bathe the baby immediately after birth
Doctors say that it is not right to bathe the child immediately after birth. Until the baby's umbilical cord falls off on its own, one should avoid bathing the baby with water. During this time, spong the child with a slightly wet cloth daily and keep changing his/her clothes regularly. This will keep the child clean and the risk of infection will also reduce.
Do not wear anything around the navel
The navel area of a newborn baby is very sensitive. According to the doctor, this part should always be kept clean and dry. Applying oil, cream or powder on the navel can increase the risk of infection. Therefore, avoid applying anything at this place and keep in mind that this area should always remain dry.
Do not put oil or anything else in nose and ears
In many homes, while massaging the child, oil is poured into his nose or ears, but doctors consider this to be wrong. He says that the nose and ears of a newborn baby are very delicate. Putting oil or anything else in them can be harmful.
Do not lick honey or sugar
Dr. Priya says that honey or ghutti should not be given to the child at all after birth. This may put the child at risk of infection. A newborn baby should be given only mother's milk for six months. During this time, there is no need to give water additionally, because mother's milk is the only complete and safe food for the child.
