    Importance of Care for Newborn at Birth
    Neonatal mortality and stillbirths • Most of the neonatal deaths
    (5.5 million)
    occur during delivery or on the
    Intra partum day of birth
    21%
    • Even for the deaths occurring in
    the rest of neonatal period, care
    Antepartum given at the time of birth is an
    27%
    important influencer
    Birth Day
    Rest of first 19% • A lot of deaths of newborns due
    month after
    birth to hypothermia, asphyxia and
    33% infection can be prevented by
    providing essential newborn
    care to all newborns
    immediately after birth

    Essential New Born Care (ENBC)
    1. Call out the time of birth.
    2. Deliver the baby onto a warm, clean and dry towel or cloth and keep on
    mother’s chest and abdomen (between the breasts).
    3. Assess the baby’s breathing while drying.*
    4. Immediately dry the baby with a warm clean towel or piece of cloth.
    5. Clamp and cut the umbilical cord when cord pulsation stops or in 1-3 minutes
    (delayed cord clamping).
    6. Leave the baby between the mother’s breasts to start skin-to-skin care.
    7. Place an identity label on the baby.
    8. Cover the baby’s head with a cap. Cover the mother and baby with a warm
    cloth.
    9. Encourage the initiation of breastfeeding.
    10. Administer inj. Vitamin K intramuscular to baby according to weight
