Newborn Care 101: A Guide for Parents in Purulia

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.

  • Vaccinations: BCG (TB), Hepatitis B first dose given before discharge.

Warning Signs Requiring Immediate Care

🚨 Seek SNCU help if your baby:

  • Has difficulty breathing (fast breaths, grunting).

  • Feeds poorly or vomits repeatedly.

  • Develops fever (over 100.4°F) or appears lethargic.

Breastfeeding Best Practices
