Many established nursery routines are in conflict with the physician's responsibility to the infant and the needs of the mother. While the first hour after birth is a crucial time for the mother and the infant to be together, it is also a time when neonatal problems can be identified and often prevented. Unless a problem is suspected immediately, this first hour of life is not the time for a thorough examination. The assessment of gestational age may be carried out later, in the nursery, when the infant's condition has stabilized and the parents have had an opportunity to view their infant.
许多既定的育婴常规与医生对婴儿的责任以及母亲的需求相冲突。虽然出生后的第一个小时对母婴共处至关重要，但这也是可以识别并常常预防新生儿问题的时期。除非立即怀疑有问题，否则生命的这第一个小时并非进行全面检查的时机。对胎龄的评估可稍后在育婴室进行，那时婴儿的状况已稳定，且父母已有机会查看他们的婴儿。
