General Health

Mother care is forever, Nursery care only for a few days post delivery.

A mother needs to bond, love, feed and watch the baby grow-up. Her breast milk shall ever remain the chief source of nutrition and inspiration for the baby.

A large number of babies are delivered in hospitals and nursing homes of which around 70% deliveries are cesarean and not normal. In most of theses institutions, babies are kept separately in baby nurseries to avoid infection. They are brought to the mother only for feeding. This usually lasts for 5-6 days till the mother and the baby go home.

Diarrhea usually happens to young children, but can sometimes occur in adults as well. Diarrhea is a disease that can last from 3 to 15 days, but almost always stops on its own. In most cases, it is not fatal, but causes water to be drained from the body, which, if left replenished, can lead to fatal dehydration.

Dengue, malaria, and chikungunya are very common during the rainy season. All these diseases are spread by different species of mosquitoes, which accumulate in stagnant water around neighborhoods and houses during the rainy season as these provide the most suitable breeding ground for such insects. Dengue is the most fatal viral disease faced during this season, as it weakens the immune system. Dengue commonly caused a high fever, intense muscle and joint pains, and headaches.

Shiny spic and span toilets may look hygienic, but in reality there are always germs present in our bathrooms. If you were to look through a microscope, then the millions of bacteria roaming around would become apparent. Bathrooms are used by every member of the family and are thus a great place to contract an infection.
