      Hi Matthew, this is an enormous question. What is healthy? For a baby they may be born too soon, that dos not make them unhealthy but they may need to be in hospital until they are ready to join their family. Babies may have infections or they may have underdeveloped lungs. Some are born with bad hearts, some have genetic disorders. A lot of the time we can work it out and help them become healthy. Sometimes, unfortunately, we can not.
