Dear Moms, With great pleasure, Himalaya BabyCare is bringing out this book, My Baby and Me. A complimentary copy of the book will be given to every mother getting discharged from the postnatal ward. It comes with best wishes from Himalaya Wellness Company. It is indeed a memorable occasion when a mother gets discharged from the hospital with her baby. Every mother will relish this moment, considering this moment as an unforgettable milestone in her life. However, she will undoubtedly be anxious thinking about whether she can cope with this added responsibility of looking after her baby and recognizing when her baby is unwell or uncomfortable. She may have several questions in her mind, which she did not find the time or opportunity to ask while in the hospital. Moreover, in the present circumstances of COVID, the stay at the hospital is shortened to a minimum, and interactions with health care providers may also be less. In this context, the discharge booklet will be of great value to new mothers. This book is created by experienced and expert pediatricians. Most of the questions that new mothers ask during discharge and other problems that a mother may encounter are covered in this book. Recognizing the early signs of illnesses are also mentioned, and in many instances, reassurances are offered where relevant. Please note that this book is not a substitute for regular consultations with the family practitioner or pediatrician. Regular check-ups and immunization visits should be followed meticulously. Any cause for concern, which is beyond the scope of this book, should be discussed with healthcare providers. We wish new mothers and their newborn babies good health for years to come. With warm regards, Dr. Ranjan Kumar Pejaver FRCP, FRCPCH(UK), FIAP, FNNF Professor of Neonatology, Bengaluru, India
