Child is the future citizen therefore is a need

and duty of the elderly people to take care of

the birth of children. Nutrition of an expectant

mother is very much important for the neo

born. Nutrition of mother during lactation

causes the weight of a child during birth. Out

of 606 child birth there are 162 children who

bore 2.5 K. G and above weight; 72 children

Each and every human being had to born in the womb of a

mother had to undergo very critical situation during pre-

natal, natal and post natal period. The figures have been

depicting the situation that how many of the newborns had to

face critical conditions with in 28 days of their birth days of

birth. 37 children had faced critical conditions and 569 had

not been faced such situation. Therefore , it is fair enough that

only 6.1% children had to undergo critical conditions with in

28 days of their birth. To avoid the situation the health

administration has to take serious note of the matter and take

apt measures so that there would be no such incidence.

In case of the incidence took place how does

the family solved the problems? 35 responded

that they have visited the health centers and

571 have responded that they have managed
