Newborn Care 

We offer several services to assist you with your new arrival. Such as neonatal care, newborn assessment, routine 6 week developmental examination. 

​

Neonatal Care 

Once your baby is delivered at the Portland Hospital, the Paediatrician on duty will be contacted. He/She will undertake the initial newborn examination and check your baby daily, until discharged home.  Several of our Paediatricians provide neonatal care.

​

Newborn Assessments

Following discharge and as requested e.g. jaundice, umbilical hernia, tongue-tie and colic

​

Routine 6 Week Developmental Examination
