When should my newborn first see a child specialist?
Ideally within the first few days after birth, and again at around one to two weeks. These early visits check feeding, weight, jaundice, breathing and the baby's overall health. As a neonatologist, Dr. Zohaib can spot early problems and reassure new parents about what's normal.

Questions parents ask
Is jaundice normal in newborns?
Mild jaundice is common in the first week and often settles on its own. Jaundice that starts in the first 24 hours, spreads to the legs, or lasts beyond two weeks needs a doctor's check.
How do I know my baby is getting enough milk?
Steady weight gain, around six or more wet nappies a day after the first week, and a settled baby after feeds are good signs.
Do you see premature babies after discharge?
Yes. Dr. Zohaib follows up premature and NICU babies for growth, feeding and development.
