This universal newborn health screening is done in the first few days after a baby is born. It includes a small blood test, a hearing test, and a heart check. These are usually done in the hospital before you go home, or at the first doctor or nurse visit if you have a home birth. The blood test only needs a tiny drop from the baby’s heel.
