Essential Care for Newborns

During the first few days of life, newborn care focuses on monitoring the baby’s feeding, growth, and overall health, including routine screenings for conditions like jaundice and hearing issues. This period also includes guidance for parents on safe sleeping practices, proper feeding techniques, and early bonding.

Newborn Screen

The newborn screen is a series of tests performed shortly after birth to detect certain genetic, metabolic, and developmental disorders. Early identification allows for timely treatment and interventions to prevent serious health issues and promote better long-term outcomes.
