 Sleep and Your Newborn
Newborn babies don't know the difference between day and night yet - and their tiny stomachs don't hold enough breast milk or formula to keep them satisfied for very long.
Although many cultures endorse cosleeping, there is a risk that the baby can suffocate or strangle, and studies have shown that there's a higher incidence of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in households where the baby slept in the bed with the parents.

 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.
A newborn baby is sometimes unable to process and excrete the bilirubin fast enough to prevent a build-up in the blood stream.
In most cases, newborn jaundice is a temporary condition that is treated successfully with an increase in water and with light therapy.

 Sun.Star Pampanga - Sison: Screening newborn babies
Filed by Congressman Yapha, the measure aims to institutionalize a comprehensive newborn screening system that shall ensure that every baby born is offered the opportunity to be screened and thus be spared from hereditary conditions that can lead to mental retardation and death if undetected or untreated.
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.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Babies prefer to gaze upon beautiful faces
Newborn babies prefer to look at attractive faces, says a UK researcher, suggesting that face recognition is hardwired at birth, rather than learned.

Almost all the babies spent more time looking at the more attractive face than the less attractive one, says Slater, who will be presenting his results at the British Association for the Advancement of Science Festival of Science in Exeter later this week.
