Nutrition in early life, a critical period for human development, can have long-term effects on health in adulthood. The importance of nutrition for health was first recognized through the association between suboptimal diet and deficiency diseases such as scurvy, beriberi and rickets and stunting in children.Early priorities in healthcare therefore focused on defining and providing nutritionally-adequate diets that could support growth and development.Historically, the greatest challenge has been to provide enough food to feed the world’s ever-increasing population. How-ever, while under nutrition remains a problem, the nutritional transition occurring in many developing countries has increased the prevalence of poverty as well as obesity.

The entire world is reeling under the effects of the novel corona virus pandemic. As it is a new infection, our knowledge is evolving constantly. There is limited information about impact of corona virus on neonatal care in relation to new born with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. In this article, we summarize the current approach to this infection in relation to newborn babies. We discuss the basic aspects of the infection, the approach of care to novel corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in positive pregnant women, the likely presentation in new born (as per current knowledge), and the approach to the management of neonates with infection or at risk of the infection. Children are less susceptible to COVID-19 infection and generally have a mild course. There is a lower risk of severe disease among pregnant women and neonates. It was recommended to follow the current protocols for management of symptomatic newborn with isolation precautions, antibiotics, and respiratory support.
