The Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS) is a test given to newborns to measure their responsiveness and behavior. It records 46 behaviors, including 20 reflexes, and is used to identify any potential developmental or neurological issues that may require further attention. The Apgar scale is also used to assess a newborn's health but only evaluates physical appearance, heart rate, reflexes, muscle tone, and breathing. The Bayley Infant Neurological Screener and Denver Developmental Screening are used for assessing developmental delays in infants and young children, but not specifically for newborns.
