Private Newborn Physical Examination (NIPE) & Health Check

Waiting on your baby's NIPE before you can be discharged from hospital? Don't wait, as a NIPE practitioner and Private Midwife I can complete this exam in your home and make any necessary hospital referrals if needed.

Comprehensive newborn medical examination to ensure your baby’s health and well-being within 72 hours of birth. Performed in your own home by an NMC Registered Midwife.

The first few days of your baby’s life are full of wonder, but they can also be overwhelming. Our standalone NIPE (Newborn Infant Physical Examination) offers a thorough, gentle, and private alternative to standard postnatal care. This service provides peace of mind that your baby is developing perfectly, all in the calm environment of your own home.

The NIPE Service includes:

• Head-to-Toe Physical Exam: A detailed clinical assessment of your baby’s heart, lungs, eyes, and hips.

• Growth & Development: Monitoring overall physical progress and Newborn Weight Checks if needed.

• Early Detection: Professional screening for congenital conditions with immediate referral to your local hospital if required.

• Parental Guidance: Expert answers to your questions about jaundice, feeding, and newborn wellness.

• Clinical Report: Full documentation provided for your GP and Red Book records.

Service Area: We provide rapid-response home visits across Islington, Hackney, Wood Green, Finsbury Park, Ealing, Kensington, Richmond and more.

The NIPE is already included in our postnatal and full care packages.
