Why did the doctor prescribe a thyroid test for the baby?

A. These days on the time of birth time it has become compulsory to get a thyroid test done which normally comes positive but that eventually gets better over the period and maybe looking at the behaviour of the weight or anything that your doctor must have monitored with your child which is why they may have advised your thyroid test you have not given any details so I think it’s better to consult your doctor for that
