Care of the child
The care given to a baby influences his/her development. A baby needs love, warmth, food, clothing etc.
The child needs good food that can promote growth and development. A baby can be fed by the use of feeding either by the breast or bottle. The breast milk is the best. Suitable semi- solid foods (cereals) are introduced as baby grows.
Breast feeding (natural feeding)
This can be started immediately after birth. A baby can be fed exclusively on breast milk from birth to six months.
Colostrums
Colostrums are the first milk produced in the first few days by a nursing mother. Yellowish in colour, it helps to clear the baby’s first sticky stool called meconium.
