My daughter is 20 days old. Do I need to put cotton mixed with mother's milk on the baby's eyes while she is asleep ? Do I need to pour some cold water on genitals for 30 days during her bath ?

Hello, avoid doing all those things. Don’t put anything to baby’s eyes , just keep them clean. Bath them with warm water.

No need to do anything like that. Give her breast feed every 2 hourly with 30 minutes burping post feed. Give vit d drops apart from breast milk. Don't use cold water rather keep head, palm and soles covered to prevent baby from hypothermia( cold)
