Our Care
Neonatal care
The first weeks with a new baby bring many questions. Dr Amir Rasheed examines and cares for newborn babies, from jaundice and feeding to weight gain and early infections, with follow-up as your baby grows.
Care for newborn babies
A newborn consultation looks at your baby’s feeding, weight, skin color, breathing, temperature and alertness, alongside the details of the pregnancy and birth. Parents can ask about anything they have noticed, however small it seems.
- Newborn check-ups and follow-up in the first weeks
- Newborn (neonatal) jaundice
- Breastfeeding, feeding difficulties and weight gain
- Premature and low-birth-weight babies after discharge
- Infections in young babies
- Cord care, rashes, colic and spitting up
Jaundice, feeding & weight gain
Mild yellowing of the skin is common in the first week and often settles on its own. Dr Amir Rasheed checks how yellow your baby is, how well they are feeding and whether a blood test for bilirubin is needed, and advises on treatment when the level is high.
Feeding and weight are reviewed at each visit. Guidance covers breastfeeding positions, how often to feed, signs that your baby is getting enough milk and when extra support is needed.
See a doctor the same day if your baby’s jaundice lasts beyond two weeks, or if their poo is pale or chalky or their pee is dark yellow. These can be signs of a liver problem that needs prompt tests.
Premature & low-birth-weight babies
Babies who were born early or small, or who spent time in a nursery, need closer follow-up once they are home. Visits track growth, feeding, development and any medicines or supplements started in hospital.
Bring the hospital discharge summary and any test results. They help connect the care your baby received after birth with their follow-up at the clinic.
When to go to emergency instead
Go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away if your baby is not feeding, has a fit (convulsion), is breathing fast or with difficulty, has a temperature of 38 °C or more or feels unusually cold, only moves when stimulated, or turns yellow in the first 24 hours of life or yellow on the palms and soles.
