Have you ever wondered who created the scoring system known as ‘The Apgar Score’?

Dr Virginia Apgar came up with this scoring system in 1952 during a period of high infant mortality in the United States of America. Using a napkin and a pen she assessed infants at birth on 5 crucial physical points based on how they transitioned to life outside the womb at 1, 5 and 10 minutes of life.

From that point the mortality rate declined and Drs in the world of obstetrics began to use this scoring system as a method to decide how much intervention was needed to help a newborn at birth.

The Apgar score remains a standardised system used in the delivery room today across the world.

Your baby’s umbilical cord can take up to 2 weeks to fully seperate and heal. During this time it is important to keep this area clean. It is fine to bath your baby whilst the cord is still healing.

During our Newborn Care Masterclass we discuss with you how to care for the cord and also how to recognise if it isn’t healing well and when to seek advice from your GP or Paediatrician.

When attending one of our Newborn Care Masterclasses everything required is provided by us, just bring yourself. We have plenty of dolls to practice nappy changes, swaddling, winding and burping positions etc, so it really is as simple as booking and turning up.

If you wish to equip yourself with all the skills required for those first few weeks at home with your baby, we’d love to see you in our final class for this year, taking place on Sunday 26th October 💓
