apgar score assessed when?
1, 5, 10 min
more complex assessment of activity, position, and tone; used to evaluate for neuromuscular and physical maturity; estimates gestation age
New Ballard Score
causes of this include maternal drug use, chromosomal abnormalities, exposure to intrauterine viral infection, multiple gestation, AMA, placental insufficiency, lack of maternal weight gain
causes of being small for gestation age

light clothing/decreased humidity for ‘prickly heat’ or ‘heat rash’ phenomenon
miliaria
common in dark-skinned infants, small to large blue/black macules
