APGARFrom our partner site on breast cancer, MyBreastCancerNetwork.com.
Newborn scoring Normal Values: A score of 8 or 9 is normal and indicates your newborn is in good condition. A score of 10 is very unusual -- almost all newborns lose one point for blue hands and feet. What abnormal results mean: Any score lower than 8 indicates your child needs assistance stabilizing. A low score at 1 minute that normalizes by 5 minutes has not been associated with any long-term negative effects.
