What should be given to the newborn after delivery?
(Health Corner) :- It is necessary to give thick yellow milk of the mother to the newborn immediately after birth. It strengthens the immunity of the child. It takes about one and a half months for a woman to return to normal after delivery. During this period, eating sour fruits, lemon, pickle, tamarind chutney or other sour things can cause problems to the child. Apart from this, cold drinks, tea and coffee should also be avoided.

Exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months
It is a common misconception that normal delivery and breastfeeding will leave the mother’s body shapeless. In fact, breastfeeding keeps the mother’s weight under control and also reduces the risk of breast cancer. The baby should be exclusively breastfed for six months.
Mother’s milk contains all the essential nutrients for the physical and mental development of the child. Boiled vegetables and fruits should be given to the baby after six months and grains after nine months.
