Jaipur, Feb 12 (NationPress) After receiving a month of specialised medical care, four premature newborns from Beawar in Rajasthan have safely returned to their homes, as confirmed by officials on Wednesday.

The infants were delivered on January 10 at the Government Amritkaur Hospital in Beawar district, arriving approximately a month earlier than their expected delivery date. They had low birth weights of 1.5 kg, 1.3 kg, 1.2 kg, and 1.7 kg, which posed health risks.

In light of the critical circumstances, Dr. Vidya Saxena and her team facilitated a successful delivery and promptly admitted the newborns to the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) under the guidance of Dr. M.S. Chandawat.

As stated by Dr. Pradeep Chaudhary, Project Director of Child Health, the newborns initially required oxygen support and were nourished through the hospital's Lactation Management Center (CLMC). Within a few days, their breathing improved, and they began to gain weight.

Dr. Chaudhary noted that the first and fourth infants began breastfeeding normally just three days after birth, while the second and third infants followed suit on the fifth and sixth days, respectively.

“Initially, the newborns were on oxygen support, and continuous breastfeeding was facilitated through the hospital's Lactation Management Center. After a few days, they started breathing normally, and their weight began to improve,” he elaborated.

Dr. Chaudhary highlighted that by the time of their discharge after a month of intensive care, all four infants demonstrated significant health improvements.

“Their weights increased to 1.56 kg, 1.38 kg, 1.3 kg, and 1.9 kg. Both the infants and their mothers are now in good health. This successful recovery underscores the importance of specialised neonatal care for premature newborns,” he stated.

Officials mentioned that maternal and child health services are continuously being enhanced in the state, ensuring that quality services are available to the public in government hospitals.
