The goal of this observational study is to determine the feasibility of renal Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) monitoring in the newborn nursery for newborns at low risk of coarctation of the aorta (CoA). The main questions it aims to answer are: * whether continuous renal NIRS monitoring is feasible; * whether NIRS monitoring results in higher nursing and parent/caregiver satisfaction than current standard monitoring; and, * whether participants who develop CoA will spend a smaller proportion of time within the normal range than patients who do not have CoA. Participants will be observed through continuous renal oxygenation monitoring with NIRS.

Percent of time monitored
Amount of time continuously monitored will be calculated
Time frame: Up to 2 weeks post-delivery, on average
Count of adverse and unexpected events
All adverse and unexpected events will be recorded
Time frame: Up to 2 weeks post-delivery
Change in nursing satisfaction with renal NIRS monitoring
A subjective description of survey responses in addition to determining which method of monitoring is preferred: NIRS vs. Enhanced BP/Pulse ox checks. Survey will be conducted at the beginning of the study, and one year later.
Time frame: Study start to one year later
Parent/caregiver satisfaction with renal NIRS monitoring
A subjective description of survey responses in addition to determining which method of monitoring is preferred: NIRS vs. Enhanced BP/Pulse ox checks
Time frame: Up to 2 weeks post-delivery, on average
Renal oxygen trends
A permutation test will be used to compare the distribution of proportions (of time spent within normal range) between the two groups (CoA vs. normal)
Time frame: Through study completion, approximately 1 year
