IMMEDIATE NEW BORN CARE
 Immediate newborn care is the care given to a newborn
immediately after birth, while essential newborn care
includes immediate care and care throughout the
newborn period:
 Immediate newborn care is given in the delivery room
by qualified personnel and includes a brief physical
exam, Apgar scoring, and thermal care
11/21/24 Prep by Areg A 11
Immediate new born care steps
1. Deliver the baby on to the mothers abdomen
2. Dry and wrap the baby with dry towel, wipe eyes and cover the head
3. Asses breathing and color. If <30b/m, blue tongue, lip or trunk, if
gasping start resuscitation
4. Tie the cord two fingers from the abdomen and another tie two
fingers from the first tie if no clamp. Cut in between two ties
5. Place the baby in skin to skin contact to breast to intiate early and
exclusive breastfeeding
6. Apply tetracycline eye ointment
7. Give Vitamin K 1mg Im on anterior mid thigh
8. Immunizations and Weighing(refer urgently if <1500gm)

 Starting to breastfeed
 Colostrum is the first milk secreted and is important for the baby
for nutrition and disease protection
 Most babies are ready to feed 15-55 minutes after birth.
Success at the first feeding often indicates successful later
breastfeeding
 Self-attachment
 Place baby face down on mothers abdomen
 Support baby as it moves towards breast
 Allow the baby time to mouth the nipple before taking it into the
mouth

Editor's Notes

  • #4: Newborn care is important because major causes of newborn death are birth asphyxia and infection. A skilled attendant at childbirth who can assess the newborn correctly, perform essential interventions and does not delay resuscitation if indicated, is crucial. The attendant should also be able to care for or transport a sick newborn if needed. Diarrhea and immunization programs account for the drop in IMR, but NMR remains high
  • #18: Newborns are uniquely susceptible to hypothermia because they have a large body surface area, which helps heat loss; they lack insulation; and lack the body mass to produce and save heat. They are also dependent on caregivers to keep them warm and dry. Care of the newborn at childbirth includes keeping it warm by drying immediately after birth and delaying a bath until the temperature is stabilized.
  • #23: Remember that every newborn should be considered at risk for needing resuscitation (i.e., the attendant should be prepared at every childbirth). Certain conditions may increase the likelihood that resuscitation will be necessary. For example, if there is evidence of fetal distress during the labor or childbirth, thick meconium, breech delivery or a preterm birth.
