However, according to TOI, Avantika’s gynaecologist said that she has been cured of dengue and has also successfully completed the first three months of her pregnancy with an all normal report.

We wish the couple many congratulations and give them a few tips by leading paediatrician Dr Zinal Unadkat, to handle the entry of a newborn in their family.

  • Your newborn cannot speak in words so it is important to develop a bond with your baby to understand their needs. Therefore, spend maximum time with the baby instead of relying on the maids or nannies to understand them better. Even though your baby can’t speak, they can listen so talk to them.
  • Never leave the baby unattended as they can choke on something or fall, always make sure there is someone next to the newborn at all times. Also, keep the bed rugs, pillows and blankets at a safe distance from the nose to avoid any suffocation. Even while they sleep, don’t cover their entire face.

  • A newborn needs ample warmth and care. As far as possible, sleep in the same room as the baby.
  • If the weather is too cold, make them first wear cotton inners before the woollen clothes as they can make the baby sweat too much. Also, don’t swaddle the baby around you too tightly, leave some room.
  • The temperature of the room in which the baby is kept should be kept constant as fluctuating temperatures can lead to colds and allergies. (Read: 10 dos and don’ts for new mummies)

Parents are usually sleep-deprived for the first few months after the baby is born. What are the coping strategies you recommend for this?

Parenthood is a new milestone in one’s life. There is a huge difference in talking about it and experiencing it firsthand. The most important preparation is to train the mind. Hence the antenatal preparation taming the mind about changes in lifestyle, one’s priorities and schedule. Mothers should try and get adequate rest when the baby is asleep all babies sleep at least once a day continuously for three to four hours.

Keep help to sort the kitchen and other household chores so that the mother isn’t stressed with other responsibilities. The most important advice is to give a lot of skin-to-skin contact as it calms and soothes down the baby and reduces irritability and crying. Lastly, look at the bundle of joy and see all your stress vanish.

A newborn is very prone to infections. How can the caretakers avoid these to some extent?

Babies identify the bacteria which mothers harbour and her heartbeat as normal. So let the mother do maximum handling of the baby. Keep visitors to a minimum during the first few days to avoid external infection When someone comes from outside make sure they use hand sanitiser before they touch the baby. Keep the environment where the baby is as clean as you can vacuum clean the room, clean the floors, make sure the carpets are dust-free, wash the curtains and keep pets away.

Keep the temperature of the room constant as bacteria get a chance to grow when there is a fluctuation of temperature. Change baby diapers frequently even if they aren’t stained. Use mild disinfectant to clean baby’s rugs, bed sheets and clothes. (Read: What parents of newborns ought to know)
