Abstract

During the provision of newborn care, the primary care provider must identify any apparent or potential health concerns, while at the same time dealing with the concerns of new mothers and other members of the now expanded family. Efficiently managing outpatient problems such as colic, dysfunctional sleep, skin disorders, neonatal jaundice, feeding problems, and newborn circumcision is the purpose of this article.
