BEFORE YOU TAKE YOUR BABY HOME, A DOCTOR WILL CHECK YOUR BABY’S:
ОглавлениеVision and hearing (a hearing test may be done by a special nurse)
Heart and lungs
Sucking reflex
Internal organs
Spine
Hips
Meanwhile, at the other end, your baby’s first couple of poos will be a tar-like, sticky, greenish-black colour. This is meconium, the waste products she has accumulated in the womb. Most babies (ninety-four per cent) will pass meconium within twenty-four hours. But two to four per cent of normal babies don’t pass meconium by forty-eight hours. If your baby has not done a black poo after about twenty-four hours, tell the midwife. If your baby is vomiting, or has a very tight, swollen belly and has not passed meconium, tell the doctor or midwife immediately.
