Newborn Health Assessment at Birth

The initial physical examination of a newborn is performed immediately after birth to assess overall health and stability. It includes checking vital signs like breathing, heart rate, temperature, and skin color, along with measuring weight, length, and head circumference. Doctors conduct a head-to-toe assessment to examine the eyes, ears, mouth, spine, limbs, and organs, while also evaluating reflexes, muscle tone, and movement. This thorough evaluation helps detect any abnormalities early and ensures the baby is healthy and adapting well to life outside the womb.
