Bringing a newborn home is joyous but comes with responsibilities. Our SNCU team at Rameshwarlall Singhania Seva Pratisthan shares essential care tips to keep your baby healthy:
Critical Post-Delivery Checks
-
APGAR Score: Measures baby’s health at 1 & 5 minutes after birth (breathing, heart rate, reflexes).

Jaundice Screening: Common in newborns; phototherapy available if levels are high.
