Expecting a New Baby?
Congratulations on your
growing family! It’s never too early to choose a pediatrician, and selecting one before your baby is born lets you get to know our practice and take care of paperwork ahead of time. You’re welcome to stop by our office to pick up newborn patient forms, or download them from our website and bring completed forms to your first appointment. After delivery, simply let the hospital know our practice name so they can send your baby’s records to us, then give us a call to schedule your baby’s first visit. We look forward to serving you and your family!
Newborn Care
Newborn care begins the moment your baby arrives and continues through the first year and beyond. Your baby’s first office visit usually takes place about three to four days after birth. At this visit, we measure weight, length, and head circumference, complete a thorough physical exam, observe your baby’s behaviors, and offer breastfeeding support. Follow-up checkups take place at two weeks, one month, and then at two, four, six, nine, and twelve months, so we can track growth and development, provide recommended screenings and vaccinations, and make sure you are adjusting well as a new parent.
