INSPECT OR EXAMINE YOUR BABY BEFORE LEAVING THE HOSPITAL AFTER BIRTH

One of the important things to do as a mum before leaving the hospital is to make sure you have inspected your baby before going home.

Here are a few things to note

🔴Make sure baby is able to breastfeed before going home.

🔴Check the back of the baby to make sure there is no dimples, holes or any thing abnormal (Spina bifida)

🔴For girls make sure the vestibule has two holes. The vagina and the urethra.

🔴In boys make sure you can feel the testis within the scrotum

🔴Your baby should not have fever, jaundice or any ill health while you are going home

🔴Make sure your baby has passed the first stool, meconium before going home

🔴The hands and limbs should be equal

🔴Make sure there is no abnormal discharge from the nose, eyes and ears.

If you suspect any other abnormal thing do report to the hospital.
