Listen to your baby heartbeat from 8 weeks
Dumb question but…
can you use a fetal doppler on a newborn baby?
my aunty just had her baby a month ago and was wondering…
she has a doppler she used during pregnancy, can she use it on her newborn? it wont hurt the baby or anything?
will it even work?

i am a registered sonographer, licensed since 1986
it is not advisable, ultrasound can bust kidney stones, calcified clots, etc… i would worry about potential retinal injury as well as other problems
certainly not a dumb question!!! do not use unless you are a licensed, medical professional and under the direction of an md!!
it will work but why would you want to do that you can feel the babies heart on your own. i wouldn’t recommend it though because then if you hear something funny you going to get all panic. and it will most likely be nothing.
I used my doppler on my four year old so she could hear her heartbeat and compare it to her brothers when I was pregnant. It’s good fun and educational but you can hear the baby’s heart now he is born by gently laying your head on his chest.
