Who is the The Newborn Check poster for?

The Newborn Check belongs to the Nursing section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning maternal & child can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the The Newborn Check poster?

A structured look in the first hours, then again before discharge. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Newborn Check belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with The Newborn Check?

The Apgar Score, Supporting Breastfeeding and Developmental Milestones sit alongside The Newborn Check in the Nursing section.

What size does the The Newborn Check poster print at?

The Newborn Check is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of The Newborn Check loses nothing.Printing guide
