In the NHS, the postnatal-ward-Midwives will decide whether a doctor is needed to review the child. If one is bleeped to review a child, we have use the standard neonatal-examination-checklist [versions available online]. If we notice any concerning abnormalitesh we then document in the redbook. We also provide a brief non-alarming explanation to the mother. At six weeks, the mother wills present to the GP practice for vaccination, the redbook will be reviewed and updated. Usually, a healthvisitor supports the mother in the first week post discharge. The level of support being determined by any concerns that the midwives/Consultants have e.g. feeding, maternal mental health issues. As a junior doctor, if I notice anything abnormal I will escalate to a Consultant for a formal review. I am curious as to whether your country has a Register for neonatal epidemiological purposes?

I am just wondering if you are referring to the neonatal check before discharge home? Or the six week baby check that is done by the GP?

And Covid IG G NEGATIVE? Any response to immunoglobulin ?
