Prenatal Tips for Your Newborn

Be sure your baby has the second newborn screening test. The first test was given in the hospital before your baby came home. The second test is done at the first well baby checkup, usually at 1 to 2 weeks of age. Call your clinic or doctor and make arrangements to get it done by the time your baby is 1-2 weeks old.
