Once the newborn transitions from the intrauterine to extrauterine environment, management centers on routine care and parental anticipatory guidance. However, certain clinical conditions may not manifest in the immediate newborn period, and their early detection may prevent long-term morbidity or even death. Therefore, proper parental education not only makes the mother’s and father’s transition into parenthood easier but also prevents potential adverse outcomes for the infant.
