1. What is newborn screening?
When your baby is 1 to 2 days old, he has some special tests called newborn screening. Newborn screening checks a baby for serious but rare and mostly treatable health conditions at birth.
2. Your baby can be born with a health condition but may not show any signs of the problem at first. If a health condition is found early with newborn screening, it often can be treated. Early treatment is important, because it may help prevent more serious health problems for your baby.
3. The first test should be collected when your baby is about 24 hours old. The second test should be collected when your baby is about two weeks old. If you have it, take the second screening card to your baby’s care provider at your first visit after birth.
4. Most newborn screening is done with a blood test to check for rare but serious health conditions. A health care provider pricks your baby’s heel to get a few drops of blood. He collects the blood on a special paper and sends it to a lab for testing. Blood test results are usually ready by the time your baby is 5 to 7 days old.
5. Hearing screening. This test checks for hearing loss. For this test, your provider places tiny earphones in your baby’s ears and uses special computers to check how your baby responds to sound.
