Newborn Care
Gentle, Expert Pediatric Care for Your Baby’s First Weeks
Welcome to Parenthood!
At Health Care for Children, we understand that those first few weeks with your newborn are filled with questions, excitement, and new routines. Our experienced pediatric team provides gentle, thorough care to help your baby grow healthy and strong — and to give you confidence every step of the way.
Your Baby’s First Visits
We usually see newborns within a few days after leaving the hospital, then again around two weeks of age. These early visits help us:
- Check your baby’s weight, feeding, and sleep patterns
- Screen for jaundice and other common newborn conditions
- Review safe sleep, car seat, and home safety
- Talk through your baby’s developmental milestones
- Answer all your questions — no rush, no judgment
Tip: Have the hospital fax your discharge summary before your visit.
