We take time to listen and create a space where you feel supported as your baby grows and develops.

Our Approach to Newborn Care

Gentle, Supportive, Family-Centered Care

We understand that every newborn is unique, and every parent has different needs and concerns. That’s why we provide individualized care and education at every visit.

If we notice anything unusual during an exam (such as feeding issues, slow weight gain, or developmental concerns), we’ll explain what it means, what to watch for, and what the next steps are.

We’re also here to help with postpartum care guidance and support for the entire family’s well-being.

When to Schedule a Newborn Visit

Consistent Checkups Help Build a Healthy Start

Your baby should be seen shortly after birth and then regularly during the first year. Schedule a newborn visit:



Within the first 3–5 days after birth – To assess early weight, feeding, and jaundice



At 2 weeks of age – To monitor growth and address common newborn concerns



At 1, 2, 4, and 6 months – For developmental checkups, vaccines, and parental guidance



Whenever you have a concern – We’re here for questions about sleep, feeding, or behavior



After hospital discharge – If additional follow-up is recommended by your birth provider

Regular visits ensure your baby is growing well and allows you to get reliable answers as questions arise.
