Baby Care and Consultation: Gentle Care Right From Birth

Since newborn babies require special attention because their bodies are still adjusting to life outside the womb, regular check-ups will help you gauge the baby’s general health, observe development, and determine any issues that might need to be attended to medically.

The following are some of the areas covered in our baby care and consultation service:

Newborn Physical Examination: Evaluating the baby’s general health and recognizing any symptoms that require further attention.

Weight and Growth Monitoring: Weight checks and information on healthy growth for parents.

Feeding Advice: Information on feeding, how often the baby needs to be fed, latching problems, and low milk consumption.

Jaundice Assessment: Determining jaundice (yellowing of the skin or the whites of the eyes), and advice for further assessment/treatment.

Vaccination Advice: Newborn vaccinations and when the baby is due for vaccinations.

Parental Counseling: General advice on hygiene, umbilical cord care, baby sleeping position and care of newborn babies.

Consulting a Newborn Specialist Ahmedabad will make you more knowledgeable on what to expect at the start and what symptoms need urgent medical assistance.

Warning Signs That Require Medical Attention For Newborns

Since babies cannot communicate their problems, one needs to look out for symptoms in relation to feeding, breathing, level of activity, and physical appearance. Seek medical advice immediately when you notice the following symptoms:

A fever or an abnormally low body temperature: When a newborn’s body temperature rises above 38°C, there is an urgent need for medical attention.

Problems with feeding: This may involve difficulty sucking, inability to feed, and reduced feeding.

Yellowing: Baby’s skin or the white part of the eyes turns yellow; especially if it happens in less than 24 hours or gets worse.

Extra sleepy: Difficult to wake up or very irritable.

Trouble breathing: Fast breathing, wheezing, or blue-tinged lips.

Vomiting or seizures: Medical help required.

If your baby experiences breathing difficulties, seizures, bluish lips, or drowsiness that is hard to wake up from, rush to the hospital rather than make an appointment.

FAQs

What is included in a newborn care consultation?

Consultation usually entails an examination, weight check, review of feeding, screening for any common problem in newborns and guidance about immunization and home care. Additional tests are ordered only if medically necessary. A Baby Health Checkup Ahmedabad consultation can help parents understand their baby's health and care requirements.

When should I consult my baby?

Schedule the first check-up right after discharge as per your discharge instructions and pediatrician's advice. Many normal newborn babies need to be checked up within a few days after delivery especially to assess their feeding, weight and risk of jaundice. Babies that are premature or have low birth weight might need to be seen up more frequently.

What is the consultation charge for a newborn care consultation in Ahmedabad?

It varies depending on the nature of consultation and further investigation required. Please contact Aagam Hospital regarding the cost of consultation for Newborn baby Care Consultation in Ahmedabad.

How much time is spent during consultation for a newborn baby? Is it safe?

The average time taken during a consultation is about 15-30 minutes, depending on your baby's requirements. Physical examination and feeding of your baby will not be invasive. The doctor will explain the reasons why he/she needs to carry out additional tests on your child.

How do I know whether my baby is having enough milk?

Sucking and swallowing well, having wet nappies regularly, and gaining weight properly are the signs that your baby is having enough milk. However, feeding patterns depend on age and therefore counting the number of diapers is not enough. If your baby has pain while feeding, he/she feeds poorly or gains little weight, you should see the doctor.

How frequently does a newborn need check-ups?

You should follow the schedule recommended by the pediatrician according to the birth history, the process of feeding and weight gain and other medical factors. Early visits are especially important.
