Attending neonates at delivery is a critical responsibility that involves immediate and thorough assessment and care of the newborn to ensure a smooth transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life. This process begins with evaluating the baby's vital signs, including heart rate, breathing, color, and muscle tone, using the Apgar score at one and five minutes after birth. Neonatal healthcare providers are prepared to perform necessary interventions such as clearing the airway, providing warmth, stimulating breathing, and administering resuscitation if needed. Immediate skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding initiation are encouraged to promote bonding and stabilize the newborn’s vital signs. In cases where complications arise, such as prematurity, respiratory distress, or congenital anomalies, the neonatal team must act swiftly to provide advanced care and transfer to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) if required. By being present and attentive at delivery, healthcare providers can ensure the best possible outcomes for neonates, supporting their health and development from the very first moments of life.
