Newborn Care

A newborn visit is really a special kind of well visit. We like to see babies on a regular basis because we can keep parents up to date on what to expect during each phase of early development. Beyond the physical examination of the newborn, some of the issues covered include:

• Feeding, including breastfeeding support for new mothers
• Sleeping
• When to call the doctor
• Vaccine information
• Growth and development

Because the practice places a high value on parental empowerment, well checks and newborn visits are always seen as an opportunity to teach and answer questions.
