Newborn & Infant Care
Routine checkups, feeding support, and early health monitoring for babies from birth through the first year, helping new parents settle into care with confidence.
Understanding Newborn & Infant Care
The first weeks and months of a baby's life involve rapid change, and regular checkups help catch anything that needs attention early. Newborn and infant care covers physical examinations, feeding support, and guidance for parents navigating sleep, growth, and everyday care questions.
Conditions We Treat
Newborn Jaundice
A yellowish tinge to the skin and eyes caused by higher bilirubin levels in the first days of life.
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes appears in the first week
- The baby seems unusually sleepy or feeds poorly
- Jaundice does not improve or seems to worsen after a few days
Feeding Difficulties
Trouble latching, low weight gain, or general feeding struggles in the early weeks.
- Your baby is not gaining weight as expected
- Latching or feeding is painful or difficult
- Feeds are unusually short, long, or frequent
Umbilical Cord Care Concerns
Redness, discharge, or delayed healing around the umbilical cord stump.
- The area around the cord looks red or swollen
- There is discharge or a persistent odour
- The stump has not fallen off after the expected time
Newborn Skin Conditions
Common rashes, dryness, or cradle cap that appear in the first weeks of life.
- A rash spreads, worsens, or does not fade
- The skin appears infected, blistered, or very dry
- You are unsure whether a skin change is normal
Colic & Unsettled Sleep
Prolonged crying, difficulty settling, or disrupted sleep patterns in infants.
- Crying episodes last several hours and are hard to soothe
- Sleep patterns are affecting the baby's feeding or growth
- You need guidance on establishing a workable routine
Low Birth Weight & Preterm Follow-up
Ongoing monitoring for babies born early or below expected birth weight.
- Your baby was born preterm or under expected weight
- Weight gain is slower than your pediatrician expects
- You need a structured follow-up schedule after discharge
Recovery & Rehabilitation
From the first newborn exam to ongoing follow-ups, care is structured around your baby's early milestones.
Assessment
Newborn Examination

Treatment

Recovery

Scheduled visits track weight, feeding, and development through the first months.
Newborn & Infant Care questions
Get answers about newborn checkups, feeding, and everyday infant care.
Newborns are typically examined within the first 24 to 72 hours, with a follow-up visit soon after to check weight and feeding progress.
A newborn or infant checkup is recommended if:
- Your baby is due for a scheduled newborn or wellness visit
- You have noticed changes in feeding, weight, or skin
- Jaundice or unusual sleepiness has appeared
- Your baby was born preterm or needs growth follow-up
- You have general questions about everyday infant care
Care built around your baby's own pace
Every baby grows differently, so checkups and guidance are adjusted to your baby's individual feeding, weight, and development pattern rather than a fixed template.
