Happiness dwell when the family grows. The news of pregnancy creates a dreamy vision in everyone’s eyes. A baby is a boon and a representation of love in a beautiful family.

How to ensure safety in Covid-19
The notion of precaution starts the moment you conceive and know about the little one growing in your womb. Here is some key guidance we would like you to follow to ensure safety.
Follow up rules:
Pregnancy follows-ups are completely scheduled now and time slots make sure you visit your OB/GYN without a rush. This step will keep you safe. Sonography and other necessary tests are performed in-house at Jehangir that help you avoid going to multiple places. Every Emergency is dealt with complete dedication and full precaution to avoid any infection or mishaps. We help you deliver your baby safely.
The same rule applies to the babies. Consult with your Paediatrician and schedule online consultations. Many paediatricians save slots for newborns to be checked, weighed, and vaccinated. Don’t be shy or don’t hold back on asking questions related to your baby’s health. Get clarification about the precautionary measures to be followed in case you are a working mother.
Spend quality time with baby:
Grab this pandemic as an opportunity to enjoy this Babymoon. Spend quality time with your family who is in awe of your newborn. Get to know each other and stack your memories with the upbringing naughtiness of your child. The family that stays together lives happily forever. Baby will develop strong skills in the company of all the family members. Maintain the precautions like wearing masks, using a hand sanitizer while touching the baby.
Virtual Connections:
We have a long-lasting tradition of visiting a newborn with gifts and blessings for the baby. That’s the most restricted part of this pandemic. We have technology that helps us connect virtually with every person around the corner of the world. Introduce your newborn to your friends and relatives virtually. Stay connected to morally boost yourself from loneliness. Dress up your baby and have fun by recording and sharing the liveliness of the baby to every near and dear one.
Grandparent’s shield and siblings bonding:
Allow this period to be in the full presence of grandparents as they can enjoy their childhood with your baby. Grandparents have the experience and knowledge which can help you learn lessons about the upbringings of your child. Stay close and observe their relationship with your baby to enjoy the glitters in their eyes. Small techniques learned from them can help your child be healthy in the future. Love and bond always play a positive role in every child’s life.
Even though everyone would love to get a peck of the new born, limit every possible touch to your baby. Ask family members to wash hands, use a mask and sanitize before they get close to the baby. It's hard to do so, but it’s the best solution.
Baby Bubble:
Maintain a baby bubble so that not everyone can visit the baby now and then. Be firm about not allowing visitors at home during this pandemic period as advised by the paediatrician. Consult the paediatrician immediately if you find any change in the newborn health. Limit the contact with the siblings and other family members. Let them observe and advice from a distance. Let the sibling have fun from a certain distance. Let your baby get vitamin D and fresh air early in the morning on the terrace or porch in the house itself. Nature is the best healer and immunity builder.
Take the leap of faith with our specialists’ guidance when it comes to your baby’s safety. Do not travel. Maintain social distancing. Maintain baby bubble. Visit our doctors anytime when you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, or obsessive about this new feeling of living joy in your life. Express and share your feelings to relive every moment.
