As you cherish these first moments with your newborn, here are 4 essential tests to ensure their health and well-being:
1️⃣ Newborn Screening Test (Blood Spot Test):A quick heel-prick test checks for genetic inborn errors of metabolism and other rare conditions. Early detection = early action!
2️⃣ Pulse Oximetry Test:A painless clip-on baby’s toe or finger measures oxygen levels. This helps screen for critical heart defects that may need immediate care.
3️⃣ Hearing Screening:Early detection of hearing issues is crucial for language and development. Simple, non-invasive, and done while baby sleeps!
