NIPE (Newborn Infant Physical Examination)

Newborn Exam and Health Check in Your Home

Comprehensive newborn examination to ensure your baby’s health and well-being within 72 hours of birth. Includes referral to local hospital if required and any additional follow up if needed.

The first few days of your baby’s life are full of wonder and discovery, and ensuring their health and well-being is a priority. The standalone NIPE service offers you a thorough and gentle physical examination of your newborn, giving you peace of mind that everything is as it should be in those crucial early days.

The NIPE is a comprehensive check that is a standard part of postnatal care if you choose to have it, but if you want to have a more personal and thorough approach outside of standard NHS care, this standalone service is available to ensure your baby’s health is fully assessed and monitored.

The NIPE includes:

• Comprehensive Newborn Check: A detailed physical examination of your baby’s heart, lungs, eyes, hips, and overall physical development.

• Early Detection of Conditions: Screening for any possible congenital conditions, ensuring that any issues are identified early for prompt referral and management.

• Gentle, Holistic Approach: Carried out with the utmost care and attention, providing a calm, nurturing environment for both you and your baby.

• Parental Guidance: Offering you information on newborn health, what to look for, and answering any questions you may have regarding your baby’s well-being.

This service provides reassurance and peace of mind, knowing that your newborn has received a thorough health check from a trusted professional, tailored to your needs and preferences.

You’ll have the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your baby’s health, and I’ll guide you through any next steps if further checks or referrals are needed. The NIPE is already included in postnatal and full packages.
