Healthcare workers do a wide range of assessments to check the health of babies immediately after they are born. One of the tests, called an Apgar test, is conducted in the first 10 minutes after birth to assess how healthy a baby is. This test assesses the baby’s heart rate, reflexes, muscle tone, breathing and the baby’s skin colour. To score highly on the test the baby is assessed to see if they are “pink all over”.
