FAQs
Newborn Care FAQs
Bathing 2-3 times per week with gentle, fragrance-free soap is recommended until the umbilical cord stump falls off. Daily sponge baths are adequate to keep your newborn clean and relaxed.
Ideally, within the first week after birth to check growth, feeding, and vital signs, unless earlier care is needed.
Common issues include latching difficulties and milk supply concerns. Dr. Vaidehi provides lactation support and breastfeeding consultation tailored to your baby's needs.
FAQs
Vaccination & Immunisation FAQs
Newborn vaccines like BCG, Hepatitis B, and OPV are given at birth, followed by DPT, Hib, Polio, Pneumococcal, Rotavirus, and MMR within the first 12 months.
Mild fever, swelling, or soreness at the injection site are normal; severe reactions are rare. Our clinic guides post-vaccination care.
Minor illnesses usually do not contraindicate vaccination. Dr. Vaidehi assesses on a case-by-case basis to ensure safety.
FAQs
Asthma & Allergy FAQs
Symptoms include wheezing, chronic cough, shortness of breath, and chest tightness, primarily triggered by exercise or allergens.
Our clinic offers skin prick testing and blood tests to identify specific allergens, enabling targeted treatment plans.
Minimising exposure to known triggers, maintaining a clean environment, and following prescribed medication protocols are essential for effective management.
FAQs
Child Growth & Development FAQs
Growth is tracked using WHO-standard charts for height, weight, and head circumference. Deviations are evaluated to ensure timely interventions.
If your child misses key milestones such as crawling, walking, or speech beyond expected ages, consult our infant and child development consultant for assessment.
Balanced diet plans tailored to age-specific needs, including essential micronutrients, are provided to optimise development.
Your child's health is
