need to practice it always. Wash your hands before touching the baby or anything

hands. Do not take your baby to crowded places and keep him or her away from
people who are sick. Do not let anyone smoke or use illicit drugs near your baby.

areas, that is from the eyes and face to the trunk and extremities, and last,
to the diaper areas.
 In diaper care, advice the parents to change diaper frequently, and with
each diaper change, wash the area with clean water and dry well.
 Always remember to perform proper hygiene.
 Performed health education and encouraged the parents about the benefits of
breastfeeding for both mother and child as well as the family. It also included the

which is the most comfortable position for many moms, especially in the first couple of
days following surgery. Football hold, with baby supported by a breastfeeding pillow
and cradle or crossover hold, with a breastfeeding (or normal) pillow on your lap and
your baby lying on top.
