Question:
Is it from the Sunnah to call the adhan in the ear of a newborn at birth?

Answer:
Yes. It is a recommended practice (sunnah) to call the adhan in the right ear of the newborn and to recite the iqamah in his left ear, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did with al-Hasan and al-Husayn. Yes.
