A cross sectional survey was carried out on 600 mothers to describe newborn care practices in Nilphamari district of Bangladesh.

The association between 'newborn care practices' with 'ante-natal care visits' and 'presence of trained person in delivery' suggests that evidence-based newborn care practices can be promoted through community-based health worker with existing health services. 2019-12-01T04:44:10Z 2019-12-01T04:44:10Z 2008-12 Research report Choudhury, N., & Nasreen, H.
