The first 28 days of life, also known as the neonatal period, are a critical time for a newborn's health and development. During this period, newborns are vulnerable to infections, malnutrition, and other health issues that can have long-term consequences if not addressed promptly. Key interventions during this time include: - Proper breastfeeding and nutrition - Keeping the umbilical cord and surrounding area clean - Providing vaccinations and medical care - Monitoring for signs of illness or distress By prioritizing newborn care during this critical window, parents and caregivers can help prevent complications, ensure optimal development, and lay the foundation for a healthy and thriving childhood. Every newborn deserves the chance to thrive and survive. 💚🤍 . . . #newborns #thrive. #survive. #flourish. #grow. #develop. #nurtured2thrive. #breastmilk. #breastfeeding #nourish. #nutrition. #hygiene. #cordcare. #umblicalcord. #immunization. #vitamins. #prenatal. #neonatal. #childhood. #babies. #postnatal. #care. #healthcare. #love. #nurture. #thrivingup. #newborn. #motherhood. #nigeria. #africa

Did you know that newborn babies have impressive reflexes? A newborn baby is born with around 70 reflexes. For example, if you hold your baby upright with his feet on a flat surface, his legs will do a stepping motion. Of course, your baby can’t walk right now, but the knowledge of how to walk is born as a primitive reflex in your baby. Have you noticed that your baby jumps a lot? This is a reflex known as a ‘moro’, or startle reflex, which is a natural response all babies have to a loud noise. When this reflex occurs, you will see your baby startle and put his arms up and out, whilst bringing up his knees. A lot of these reflexes will either develop or become more integrated as your little one develops and grows. . . . . . #infants #thrive. #survive. #flourish. #grow. #develop. #nurtured2thrive. #breastmilk. #breastfeeding #nourish. #nutrition. #hygiene. #cordcare. #umblicalcord. #immunization. #vitamins. #prenatal. #neonatal. #childhood. #babies. #postnatal. #care. #healthcare. #love. #nurture. #thrivingup. #2024. #newyear. #nigeria. #africa

Breast milk changes composition as your baby grows, providing exactly what they need at each stage of development. In fact, breast milk contains over 300 types of bacteria, which helps seed your baby's gut microbiome and supports their immune system development! Pretty amazing, right?😊 . . . #newborns #thrive. #survive. #flourish. #grow. #develop. #nurtured2thrive. #breastmilk. #breastfeeding #nourish. #nutrition. #hygiene. #cordcare. #umblicalcord. #immunization. #vitamins. #prenatal. #neonatal. #childhood. #babies. #postnatal. #care. #healthcare. #love. #nurture. #thrivingup. #newborn. #motherhood. #nigeria. #africa

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HEALTH CHECKUPS FOR NEWBORNS? Health checkups are conducted for newborns to monitor their overall well-being, detect potential health issues early, and ensure proper growth and development. These checkups include assessments of vital signs, weight gain, and developmental milestones. During these visits, vaccinations may also be administered. Regular health checkups contribute to early intervention, providing parents and healthcare providers with the information needed to address any health concerns and promote optimal health for the newborn. TUI educates mothers about the significance and purpose of delivering quality healthcare to newborns, equipping them with essential knowledge to address challenges effectively. . . . . . #newborns #infants #thrive. #survive. #flourish. #grow. #develop. #nurtured2thrive. #breastmilk. #breastfeeding #nourish. #nutrition. #hygiene. #cordcare. #umblicalcord. #immunization. #vitamins. #prenatal. #neonatal. #childhood. #babies. #postnatal. #care. #healthcare. #love. #nurture. #thrivingup. #nigeria. #africa
