More than 64% of infant deaths in India happen in the first 28 days, and the risk is highest in the first week. Mothers who cannot name the danger signs have significantly higher odds of losing a baby — so learning nine signs is itself the intervention. Two things you do at home also change survival measurably: starting breastfeeding within the first hour, and skin-to-skin kangaroo care. Delaying the first feed beyond one hour nearly triples the odds of newborn death.
When to see a doctor
🚨108 ABHI — Daure/jhatke, honth ya jeebh neele, saans rukna, ya jagane par bhi na jaagna (bachche ko seedha chhaati se chipka kar le jaao — thand se bachaav)
🚨TURANT HOSPITAL — Doodh choosna band, 1 minute mein 60 se zyada saans, seena andar dhasna, ya bahut sust padna
🚨TURANT HOSPITAL — Bukhaar 37.5°C se upar YA badan 35.5°C se thanda (newborn mein thanda padna bukhaar jitna hi khatarnaak hai)
🚨TURANT HOSPITAL — Naabhi ke aas-paas laali/pus/badbu, ya talwe aur hatheli peele padna (sepsis aur gambhir jaundice)
⚠️AAJ DOCTOR KO DIKHAO — 12 ghante se peshaab nahi, baar-baar ulti, wazan janam se 10% se zyada gir gaya, ya "kuch theek nahi lag raha"
Emergency: 112 · 102 · 108
Overview
Newborn bata nahi sakta ki use kya ho raha hai. Woh sirf
kuch tareeke se "bimaar" dikhta hai. WHO ne un nishaniyon ki
list banayi hai — inhein yaad rakhna sabse zaroori kaam hai.
🔴 NAU KHATRE KI NISHANIYAN — YAAD KAR LO:
1. DOODH NA PEENA / theek se na choos paana
→ Pehle peeta tha, ab nahi — yeh sabse aam pehli nishani
2. DAURE (convulsions) — haath-pair akadna, jhatke
3. TEZ SAANS — 60 se zyada saans per minute
→ 1 minute ginno, jab bachcha shaant ho
4. SEENA ANDAR DHASNA (chest in-drawing)
→ Saans lete waqt pasliyon ke neeche gehra gaddha
5. BUKHAAR — 37.5°C / 99.5°F se zyada
6. THANDA PAD JAANA — 35.5°C / 95.9°F se kam
→ Yeh bukhaar jitna hi khatarnaak hai, aur log ise
halke mein lete hain
7. SUST PADNA (lethargy) — jagane par bhi na jaage,
dheela padna, harkat bahut kam
8. TALWE/HATHELI PEELE hona — jaundice jo haath-pair tak
pahunch gaya
9. NAABHI (umbilical cord) mein laali, pus, badbu
⚠️ AUR TEEN AUR:
→ HONTH/JEEBH NEELE padna (cyanosis)
→ Baar-baar ulti, ya hari/peeli ulti
→ 24 ghante mein peshaab na karna
🔴 EK BAHUT ZAROORI CHETAWNI:
Bangladesh ki ek study mein maa ne jo nishaniyan yaad
rakheen — sustee, neelapan, doodh na choos paana — unse 48
ghante ke baad ki maut ka 65% tak andaaza lag gaya. Aur agar
wazan 2.5 kg se kam bhi tha, to 89% tak.
Matlab in nishaniyon ko pehchaan lena sach mein jaan bachata
hai.
📌 EK BHI NISHANI = DOCTOR. Do ka intezaar mat karo.

(👶 SAARI BAATEIN NEWBORN KE LIYE SAFE HAIN)
⚠️ Danger signs ka koi gharelu ilaaj NAHI hai — woh seedha
hospital hai. Yeh section un cheezon ke liye hai jo bachche
ko BIMAAR HONE SE BACHATI hain.
🤱 1. PEHLE GHANTE MEIN DOODH — sabse bada ek kaam:
Research saaf hai:
→ 1 ghante ke andar feed shuru = reference
→ 1-24 ghante ki der = maut ka risk 33-41% zyada
→ 24-48 ghante = 79% zyada
→ 48 ghante se zyada = lagbhag 2.19 guna
India mein pehle ghante mein feed 25% se 42% tak badha hai,
par 2015 se ruka hua hai. Agar sab yeh karein to newborn
deaths 15% tak kam ho sakti hain.
→ PEHLA GAADHA PEELA DOODH (colostrum) PHENKO MAT — woh
bachche ka pehla teeka hai. Use "ganda" kehna galat hai
→ ❌ PRE-LACTEAL FEED mat do: ghutti, shahad, gud ka paani,
gaay ka doodh, janamghutti. Yeh infection laate hain aur
doodh ki shuruaat bigaadte hain
🦘 2. KANGAROO MOTHER CARE (KMC) — chhaati se chipka kar:
Yeh sabse asardaar aur sabse sasta ilaaj hai jo aap khud
kar sakti hain.
→ Bachche ko sirf nappy mein, apni chhaati se seedha
chipka kar rakho, upar se chadar/kambal
→ Research: KMC newborn maut 32-36% tak kam karta hai
→ 24 ghante ke andar shuru karein to 22% aur kam
→ Sepsis, thand lagna, sugar girna — sab kam
→ Doodh pilana behtar hota hai
→ Faayda tab zyada jab roz KAM SE KAM 8 GHANTE ho
→ Papa/dadi/nani bhi kar sakte hain — maa ko aaram mile
🌡️ 3. THAND SE BACHAO — India mein bhi:
→ Janam ke turant baad pochh kar sukhao, geela kapda hatao
→ Topi zaroor — sar se sabse zyada garmi jaati hai
→ Pehla NAHAAN 24-48 ghante TAAL do (72 ghante aur behtar)
→ Kamra garam, hawa se bachao
→ Maalish garam kamre mein, jaldi
🧼 4. SAFAI:
→ Bachche ko chhoone se pehle HAATH DHOYO — har baar,
har vyakti
→ NAABHI: sookhi aur khuli rakho
❌ Tel, raakh, gobar, haldi, kajal — kuch mat lagao
→ Yeh tetanus aur sepsis ka seedha raasta hai
→ Bimaar milne walon ko door rakho
🔢 5. ROZ YEH GINO:
→ Kitni baar feed (24 ghante mein 8-12)
→ Kitne geele nappy (5-6 din mein, 3 din ke baad)
→ Potty
→ Saans (jab shaant ho)
