Summary

This study looked at 120 healthy full-term newborns to see if parents choosing a general practitioner before leaving the maternity hospital helps ensure the baby's first medical checkup happens within the recommended second week of life. Parents filled out a questionnaire at the hospital and another by phone one month later. The study is observational, meaning no treatment was given—it simply tracked whether this simple organizational step made a difference.
