The crucial event that alters the direction of our life is the birth of a child. 

The newborn's welfare is the main priority along with the celebration.

Taking care of the new mother, who is going through all of this for the first time, is equally crucial. 

Delicate actions, soft-spoken words, and gentle music

Even though the newborn cannot speak, it nonetheless feels dread and anxiety. 

To the infant, one must use a soothing voice. 

When the infant is napping, avoid jerking him or speaking loudly while seated close to him.

It is important to avoid tossing babies in the air since it might sometimes cause terror in the baby's thinking. 

Till the child turns one year old, play soothing music or sing babies, and never leave the child unattended. 

Avoid using harsh language or loud noises around the baby.

Limiting the baby's access

In the past, only the mother or other family members who were elderly females were permitted access to the newborn baby, who was kept in a separate nursery or chamber of the house.

To lower the risk of infection and prevent people from handling the baby, this was done. 

Because a baby's immunity does not fully develop until the third or fourth month, taking this action is thought to be vital.

Ascending oil massage

Only when the umbilical cord dried and fallen off, for bout 15 days, should the baby be massaged. 

The castor plant root, ashwagandha, shalparni, castor oil, sesame oil, turmeric, and goat milk are all suggested by Ayurveda for baby massages.

When applied to the infant in the other way, ashwagandha in sesame or mustard oil was known as Dharana.

Keeping the baby indoors until the fourth month 

As per Ayurveda, the baby should be kept only within the room till he is four months. Access should be limited to this room. Traditionally, the day the baby completes his fourth month, he is bathed, made to wear new clothes, and brought out of the nursery. The elders of the house bless the baby and once this is done, the baby is taken to other rooms of the house.

Exposure to the moon and sun

The newborn needs the sun and moonlight throughout the first several months for a variety of health reasons. 

Four months of the newborn's life are spent in the room, with just one exception where the baby is briefly exposed to the morning sun. 

If the room has a window that lets in the morning sunshine, this can occasionally be done while still in the space. 

The moonlight also helps to balance the mother's gynecological cycle and is good for the baby's nervous system.
