Stefan Johansson 507 Posted October 27 This would be my take - if the infant seems perfectly well, I would not worry too much. On the other hand, if there are some minor clinical signs/symtom (like some reduction in muscle tone, not perfectly normal feeding behaviour etc-etc), I'd be suspicious and probably do some basic lab workup and then refer for clinical followup with the community pediatrician (and then he/she refers back in case of increased suspicion of congenital disease) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M C Fadous Khalife 20 Posted November 17 For me, definitely this baby must be closely observed and basic lab tests are essentials; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
