1 महीने के बच्चे की skin बहुत sensitive होती है, इसलिए neem leaves से नहलाना रोज़ या strong रूप में करना सही नहीं है। आप कभी-कभी बहुत हल्का neem water (कुछ पत्ते उबालकर, ठंडा करके) इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं, लेकिन regular या ज़्यादा concentrated use न करें। साधारण गुनगुने पानी से नहलाना ही सबसे safe है। Measles (खसरा) से बचाव के लिए सबसे important है protection, न कि सिर्फ external remedies। बच्चे को भीड़, बीमार लोगों और infection वाले environment से दूर रखें। घर में साफ-सफाई रखें। जो भी व्यक्ति बच्चे के पास आए, हाथ धोकर ही आए। Breastfeeding बहुत important है, इससे बच्चे की immunity naturally strong होती है, इसलिए continue रखें। Baby को ठंडी हवा, धूल और sudden temperature changes से बचाएं। कोई भी दवा या काढ़ा इतने छोटे बच्चे को बिना doctor की सलाह के न दें। Important: Measles vaccine usually 9 months के बाद दिया जाता है, इसलिए अभी prevention ही main तरीका है। अगर बच्चे को बुखार, rash, खांसी या आँख लाल होना शुरू हो, तो तुरंत pediatrician को दिखाएं। Simple समझ: हल्का neem water कभी-कभी ठीक है, लेकिन main protection hygiene, breastfeeding और exposure से बचाव है।

Dear new mom It is understandable that you want to protect your baby during a measles outbreak. However, for a baby who is only 1 month and 20 days old, please keep the following in mind: A newborn’s skin is very thin and sensitive. Neem is very strong and can cause severe dryness, rashes, or irritation. It will not prevent a measles infection through a bath. Prevention: The most effective protection for measles is the vaccine (usually given at 9 months) and keeping the baby away from crowded places or anyone who is sick. Protection : Instead of a bath, you can keep the environment clean. You may hang fresh, clean Neem leaves near the cradle or use mild Dhoopana (herbal incense) like Guggulu to purify the air. Continue exclusive breastfeeding, as this is the best way to build your baby’s natural immunity If your baby develops a fever, cough, or any redness in the eyes, please consult a pediatrician immediately. Do not try home remedies for an infant this young Wishing your baby good health. Take care

Baby of less than 2 months skin is very sensitive and can cause allergy so be very carefull about using the neem water. You can simple soak handfull of neem leaves in hot water leave it for an hour and dilute with normal bathing water. Check for rask allergy or dry skin Measles protection: 1. Avoid exposure. Keep baby away from: Sick individuals, crowded places and visitors with fever, cough, rash 2. Hygiene & environment -Wash hands before touching the baby -Clean frequently touched surfaces -Ensure good ventilation 3.Breastfeeding -Continue exclusive breastfeeding as it provides maternal antibodies that help protect baby.

Yes you can bathe your baby with neem water, donot make very concentrated just 3-4 leaves in 2 litre water boil and strain before bath. Use extra virgin coconut oil and massage on full body before bath Start with Balakalp syrup 1/4tsp once daily. Breastfeeding is a must , Avoid taking to crowded places. Fumigate your home Atmosphere with dhoopan . Wash every body’s clothes staying in home with few drops of detol in water.
