Your baby is tested for certain medical conditions when she is born.
Many conditions can be treated if they are found early enough. Early
treatment means your baby can grow up healthier.
Newborn tests are given in the hospital right after birth.
A small amount of your baby’s blood will be taken. It will be tested and
you will be told if there is any cause for concern.
Your doctor or nurse can answer questions about the tests and the results.
