چکیده
Thermospot was stuck to the infant’s abdomen over the liver and the mother taught how to interpret it. Mothers were counseled on the importance of keeping the baby warm and told how to do so. If the device came unstuck it was reapplied with transparent tape. The site was inspected for skin damage or irritation. The thermospot was removed on day 7. Information from mothers on acceptability, the number of episodes noticed and subsequent actions taken was obtained using a questionnaire in Hindi.
