	Looking at Your Newborn: What's Normal
		Newborns can see, but they probably don't focus well at first, which is why their eyes may seem out of line or crossed at times during the first 2 to 3 months.
		Because newborns tend to breathe through their noses and their nasal passages are narrow, small amounts of nasal fluid or mucus can cause them to breathe noisily or sound congested even when they don't have a cold or other problem.
		When your newborn opens his or her mouth to yawn or cry, you may notice some small white spots on the roof of the mouth, usually near the center.

	Newborn baby jaundice
		The website publication entitled "Newborn Jaundice", which was written in 1993 by Arnold Solof, M.D., Archna Jain, M.D., and Judith Hunt M.D., says it is important to treat babies with low levels of bilirubin in their system as well as the ones with higher readings.
		In most cases, newborn jaundice is a temporary condition that is treated successfully with an increase in water and with light therapy.
		According to "Newborn Jaundice", when the amount of bilirubin in the blood is extremely high and standard treatments are unsuccessful, blood transfusions may be necessary.

		Since most newborn deaths occur during the first hours or days after birth, contact with an appropriately trained health provider is key to newborn health and survival.
		In addition to counseling on newborn care practices, particularly careful management of low birth weight babies, and timely recognition and antibiotic treatment of infections such as pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis are key.

	Newborn Screening Tests: Keep Kids Healthy
		Prior to being sent home from the nursery, newborns have blood drawn (usually by a heel stick) and the specimen is placed on a special filter paper, which can then be sent to a centralized lab for testing.
		A repeat or second newborn screen is usually performed at a later time, often at the two week checkup, especially if the first test was done in the baby's first twenty-four hours of life.
		The purpose of the newborn screen is to test or examine for the presence of a disease before symptoms develop (although some children may develop symptoms before the results are known) and to help identify those infants that at most at risk for developing the particular disease.

		The goal of this study was to analyze the clinical utility of expanded newborn screening while addressing the issues that false-positive results bring to parents.
		Parents of children identified by newborn screening expressed greater satisfaction with their social support network and were less likely to engage in medico-legal proceedings than parents of clinically identified children (both p-values <.05).
		Issues that should be addressed when deciding whether to expand newborn screening programs include cost-benefit analyses, negative consequences of screening (such as increased parental stress associated with false-positive results), and the total public health burden caused by these rare diseases.

	Sun.Star Pampanga - Sison: Screening newborn babies
		AT LEAST 10,000 newborns annually can be saved from mental retardation and death if a legislative proposal seeking to institutionalize newborn screening as part of routine newborn care in the country's health delivery system is enacted into law.
		Newborn screening is a public health prevention program and is defined in the bill as "the process of collecting a few drops of blood from a newborn for the purpose of determining if the newborn has a heritable condition."
		It was reported that newborn screening was introduced in the Philippines in June 1996 by a group of obstetricians and pediatricians calling itself the "Newborn Screening Study Group." Its research work was dubbed "The Philippine Newborn Screening Project," which became the basis for the filing of the legislative proposal in Congress.

		We assume newborns can smell because we know they can taste, and these are the two most closely related of the human senses.

		Newborn jaundice is caused by high levels of bilirubin in the blood, which gives an infant's skin and eyeballs a yellowish tinge.
		Therefore, bilrubin levels are a little high at birth and jaundice is present to some degree in almost all newborns.
		Jaundice in a newborn is rarely caused by a serious illness.

	Newborn Screening
		Before newborn screening became available, PKU due to a genetic defect of phenylalanine hydroxylase was typically not diagnosed before six months of life when developmental delay or other non-specific neurological symptoms become apparent.
		Although they are rare individually, the incidence for any of the detectable disorders is 1 in 4,000 newborns with Medium-Chain Acyl-Coenzyme A Dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency being more frequent than PKU at 1 in 12,000 vs. 1 in 20,000 newborns respectively.
		As opposed to other screening laboratories, we do not recommend sending another blood spot for follow up of abnormal results because normal blood spot values for newborns older than one week are generally not available and important time in the diagnostic process may be lost to the detriment of affected children.
