A periumbilical infant ECG sensor for measuring the heartbeat of a newborn infant. The ECG sensor also preferably includes an SAO2 sensor for measuring the oxygen saturation level of the infant's haemoglobin. The ECG sensor is fastenable about the stub of the infant's umbilical cord. The ECG sensor is preferably connected to an electronics module housed in a cavity of an umbilical cord clamp. The electronics module has a power source for supplying power to the ECG sensor and the SAO2 sensor and a transceiver for wirelessly transmitting the ECG and SAO2 signals to a monitoring station.
