Panel 1 Traditional Beliefs and Practices.
(i) Women underfed themselves during pregnancy to ensure a small baby for easy delivery.
(ii) The babies were often not breast-fed on the first three days and were given sweetened water.
(iii) The babies were not covered properly immediately after birth; baby-clothes were not used until a ceremony (baj kadhane) performed on the seventh day.
(iv) Mothers could not leave the delivery room until baj kadhane. To minimize the toilet needs during this period, they severely restricted their intake of fluids and food.
(v) Mothers did not wash hands properly, their clothes and linens were often dirty, and the delivery rooms were poorly ventilated.
(vi) Newborns were usually not named until they had lived one month because of the uncertainty about their survival.
(vii) The usual explanations for the sicknesses in neonates were ‘‘ the evil eye,’’ ‘‘witchcraft’’ or the mother’s body humours or indiscretions in eating.
(viii) Newborn babies, even if sick, were not moved out of the home.
(ix) Families believed that nurses or doctors could not effectively treat the sick newborn or change the course of the events.
(x) Neonatal death was stoically accepted.
