It's a rite of passage for babies: the newborn exam. What's checked during the exam? How is the exam done? This episode covers the basics, why you want to watch, and what you should ask.
In this episode I cover:
What is the newborn exam?
How does this exam differ from the APGAR
Why you should be next to your baby during the examination
What gestational age your baby is (and why that's important)
A “head-to-toe” walkthrough of what's checked on your baby
What to expect with head molding
How to know your baby is breathing normally
Umbilical cord issues
When to ask for more details on anything you notice about your baby
