A. My daughter is of 13 days, same tests are suggested to us also, These are not mandatory and Does not guarantee any disease these are only screening tests and The reports will come as normal, so no need for the test. I have Cghs panel so all test are free for me ,but dr guided that these test are formalities unless there is a physical problem with baby .

A. need not be done routinely better if you can't do it For further advice it is advisable to consult your local doctor for appropriate examination if there is need for investigations also then only proper treatment can be given to you o . K .
