About New Born Care
The first weeks of life bring many questions — feeding, weight gain, sleep, jaundice, the cord, rashes and crying. Newborn care covers the baby's first check-up, early vaccines and regular reviews through the first months.
A neonatologist-led team checks growth and development, supports breastfeeding, and spots early any sign that needs attention.
When to bring your child
- First newborn check-up within the first week after going home
- Yellow skin or eyes, especially if it spreads to the tummy or legs
- Feeding difficulty or fewer wet nappies than expected
- Birth vaccines due (BCG, OPV and Hepatitis B)
What to expect
- 1Full check-upWeight, length, head size, heart, hips, eyes, cord and skin are examined.
- 2Feeding supportBreastfeeding position and attachment are checked and questions answered.
- 3VaccinesBirth vaccines are given or checked, and your next due dates are planned.
Common questions
When should my baby have the first check-up?
Ideally within the first week after discharge, and again at 6 weeks when the first set of routine vaccines is due.
Is it normal for a newborn to lose weight?
Most babies lose some weight in the first few days and regain their birth weight by about two weeks. Your pediatrician will check this at the first visit.
