Newborn screening
Newborn screening is essential to ensure your child has a healthy start to life.
Whether you are a parent of a newborn or a parent expecting a baby, your baby’s health is important.
Most newborns look healthy, but if they have a medical condition that is not detected and treated early,
it can lead to serious health problems. We will guide you through basic newborn care to help your baby get the best start in life.

Even minor illnesses can be serious for children.
Yeon & Nature manages newborns aged 1 to 24 months with a life cycle chart analyzed by five functions.
Sensory function
work out
language
Sociality
Cognitive ability
There is a different periodic table for each function every month, and if your child grows well according to the periodic table, there will be nothing more satisfying.
You can check everything your child reacts to, and you can check the average of your child's weight, height, and head circumference.

Neonatal care contents
We will inform you about basic medical care for children.
Neonatal special ultrasound (cardiac ultrasound/head ultrasound)
Tests to detect congenital diseases
In order to detect and respond to congenital brain and heart diseases that may not be visible during
prenatal examinations, head ultrasound and heart ultrasound are performed.
In particular, heart diseases that require surgery are sometimes not detected during prenatal examinations,
and heart murmurs are not heard during auscultation after birth.
In such cases, the baby's condition may worsen and be diagnosed, so it is important to check in advance.

Inborn errors of metabolism test
This is a disease that causes severe intellectual disability, brain damage,
liver and kidney problems due to metabolic disorders of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Inborn errors of metabolism are often left unnoticed during the newborn period because they do not have symptoms. However,
when growth and developmental abnormalities begin to appear, it is difficult to recover to a completely normal child even with treatment,
resulting in mental retardation and developmental disorders.
Early diagnosis and treatment are important because normal growth and development are difficult if treatment is delayed.
It is recommended to perform the test between 2 and 7 days after birth.

newborn hearing loss screening
Hearing loss is a common condition that occurs in 3 out of 1,000 newborns, and can cause serious
impairments in the baby's hearing, intelligence, and language development.
It is said that the outer horn of the inner ear, which is the organ that transmits sound,
is completed between the 24th and 26th weeks of pregnancy, which is generally the 6th month.

Complete completion of the outer horn of the inner ear, the organ that transmits sound
Newborns are born with hearing levels similar to those of adults, as their hearing is more developed than other organs.
However, hearing loss can occur due to various causes, such as heredity and fetal infections.
Congenital hearing loss can be detected before 6 months of age and rehabilitation treatment can be started to achieve normal language development.
The initial examination should be conducted within 24 to 72 hours after birth, and the examination can be completed in 2 minutes while the baby is sleeping.

Timing of initial inspection
If detected within 24 to 72 hours after birth and before 6 months of age, rehabilitation treatment is possible to ensure normal language development.
Newborn Vision Screening
+ Vision is not fully developed in the mother's womb but continues to develop after birth.
+ In order for vision to develop normally, it is necessary to check for cataracts, strabismus, glaucoma, and retinal abnormalities.
+ It is necessary to find abnormalities early in the newborn period and provide appropriate treatment to minimize disabilities.

Genetic Testing (G-Scanning)
High-resolution scans that analyze chromosomal information
Recently, the number of newborns with chromosomal abnormalities is increasing due to environmental factors and the increase in older mothers.
G-Scanning is a high-resolution scanning test that analyzes 1,440 chromosomal sites representing the entire body's chromosomes out of 30,000
genomes using a cutting-edge DNA chip.
G-Scanning is a high-resolution scanning test that analyzes 1,440 chromosomal sites representing the entire body's chromosomes out of 30,000
genomes using a cutting-edge DNA chip.
G-Scanning scans the integrity of the entire chromosome at high resolution, and
can accurately detect various types of genetic diseases such as learning disabilities, developmental delays, autism, and epilepsy that can be caused by chromosomal abnormalities in a single test. Since genetic diseases may not show symptoms until a considerable amount of time has passed,
testing can detect the disease early and provide appropriate treatment and management (medical expenses are supported by the government if confirmed). Testing is available from birth.
