Now The White Material (Vernix Caseosa) Adhered Over His Body Should Be Removed With Soft Cloth After Applying Bala Or Any Other Traditionally Used Oil And Bath Be Given With Tepid Water Boiled With Aromatic Drugs Or Atleast Tejapatra Or Neem Leaves.

Two Lines Of About 1” Length Should Be Drawn Over Smooth Clean Stone Of About 6” Diameter By Gold Rod, These Lines Should Be Washed With One Teaspoonful Water And This Water Should Be Given To The Child. Few Hours After Delivery The Mother Should Start Her Breast Feeding, And Give It With The Interval Of 2-3 Hours As Per Need.
