For vaginal births, the baby’s weight and length are recorded after delivery in the birthing room. A Vitamin K injection is given for blood clotting. An antibiotic ointment is administered in the baby’s eyes to prevent infection. These procedures on cesarean birth babies are done in the nursery. Tests recommended by the State of NJ are obtained at the appropriate time during your stay. Your pediatrician may also order additional blood tests. A hearing screening and bilirubin screening will be done at some time during the baby’s hospital stay.
