Option 1 : Birth weight less than 5% of normal on the day of birth requires further investigation

Concept:

  • Normal newborn weight -> 2.7 to 4 in India
  • Babies born less than 2.7 are considered to be low birth weight babies
  • Newborn will loss the weight in the first 3-4 days of their earlier life and later on within 10 days they will regain the weight

  • Preterm infants are the children who born before 37 weeks of gestation
  • KMC - Kangaroo Mother Care is the best suggestive treatment for preterm and low birth weight children
  • APGAR -> Appearance, Pulse, Grimases,  Activity, Respiration
  • APGAR score describes the health of a child
