The first newborn visit is a very exciting time for parents. We go over questions and care in great detail.
Some common topics include:
- Whether you should nurse and use formula together
- Is my baby jaundiced?
- What is colic or acid reflux and how do we avoid it?
- What is the best sleeping position for my baby?
- What creams or washes do I use?
- What if my baby’s nose sounds stuffy?
- What is an abnormal temperature for my baby? How do I take it? 8) How can I get my baby to sleep through the nights.
When the baby is discharged from the hospital please call to make your appointment. We usually see the baby the very next day.
The best time of day is morning. We have a separate waiting area for newborns.
You can call anytime during business hours. If you need to be called back right away please let the front desk know so they can accommodate you.
