Abstract
• The addition of a behavioural approach to the newborn examination is recognised as being of significant benefit to the infant, mother, father and professionals.
• By highlighting behavioural cues, the health-care professional can show parents that their infant is someone who can communicate their needs and preferences.
• The more the parents see and learn about their infant, the more realistic and appropriate they will be in their care giving, interactions and expectations.
