The first few months of life are an important period for a baby’s growth, development and overall health.

Led by Dr. Shanmuga Priya, Paediatric and Neonatology Consultant, the clinic offers personalised consultations for newborns and infants based on their age, health needs and developmental stage.

Comprehensive Newborn Care

Newborns require careful observation as they adapt to life outside the womb. Regular consultations can help parents understand normal newborn behaviour, feeding patterns, growth and developmental changes. At Happy Kids Clinic, newborn consultations focus on assessing the baby’s overall health and providing parents with clear, age-appropriate guidance.

Newborn and infant consultations may include:

  • General newborn health assessment

  • Weight and growth monitoring
  • Developmental observation
  • Nutritional guidance
  • Immunisation guidance
  • Support for common newborn and infant concerns
  • Early identification of health or developmental concerns

Feeding & Breastfeeding Support

Feeding is an essential part of newborn health and development. Parents may have questions about breastfeeding frequency, latching, positioning, milk transfer or feeding patterns. Happy Kids Clinic also provides lactation and breastfeeding support to help mothers manage common feeding difficulties.

Guidance may include:

  • Breastfeeding counselling
  • Latching and positioning guidance
  • Feeding frequency concerns
  • Milk-transfer assessment
  • Expressing and storing breast milk

Growth & Development Monitoring

Regular infant growth monitoring helps parents understand whether their baby is progressing appropriately. Weight, growth patterns, nutrition and developmental milestones can be monitored during consultations. Identifying concerns early allows parents to receive timely guidance and, where necessary, appropriate specialist referral.

Vaccination & Preventive Care

Preventive healthcare is an important part of newborn and infant care. The clinic provides childhood vaccination and immunisation guidance, helping parents understand recommended vaccinations and maintain appropriate preventive healthcare for their baby.

Parents can also receive guidance regarding nutrition, healthy routines and age-appropriate developmental milestones.
