What is newborn care?

Newborn care is medical care focused on ensuring that babies are healthy, happy, and reaching their developmental milestones as expected. These visits are essential to your infant’s overall health and wellness.

Working with a skilled and personable pediatrician is also a great way for parents to get the information needed to support their baby’s health during infancy. The first year of your baby’s life is an exciting time filled with milestones, and your pediatrician is here to help you make the most of this fleeting time.

Why is newborn care important?

Newborn care is your child’s entry point into preventive health. These visits center on assessing your baby’s development to ensure they are growing and blossoming in every way.

All data collected during newborn care visits are added to your baby’s medical record. Over time, this living document becomes an invaluable resource for tracking health and development. If areas of concern are detected, additional screening is available.

Newborn care visits are an integral part of your baby’s health, but they are also an opportunity for parents to get the guidance and support needed to create the best possible environment for their child. This is the setting where you can ask questions about sleep schedules, feeding options, babyproofing, and so much more.

Dr. Lavania is an international board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and a board certified in breastfeeding medicine (NABBLM-C) and has undergone extensive training in all aspects of breastfeeding support.

What happens during newborn care visits?

Your pediatrician routinely checks your baby’s length, head circumference, and weight during each newborn care visit. Feeding is monitored to make sure your baby is getting the right amount of nutrition. Additional assessments might include:

• Development
• Belly
• Eyes
• Mouth and throat
• Heartbeat
• Joints
• Skin
• Genitals

The examination doesn’t take long. Every effort is made to keep your baby comfortable from start to finish.

If your child needs one or more vaccines during the visit, those shots are administered quickly. Your child’s pediatrician reviews their immunization record during each visit to ensure they stay on track to develop a strong immune system.

The best time to begin searching for a pediatrician is before you give birth. The practice also provides prenatal videos and free meet-and-greets with providers.

How can you help with feeding?

Our lactation specialists assist with breastfeeding and bottle-feeding, providing practical tips for proper nutrition and feeding schedules.

When should I get newborn care support?

Many parents start support right after birth or when bringing their baby home to establish healthy routines and ease the transition.

What qualifications do your specialists have?

Our team has advanced training in newborn care, lactation support, and infant development, and are certified in infant CPR and safe sleep practices.

Can you help with sleep issues?

Yes. Specialists create personalized sleep plans and teach soothing techniques for safe, healthy sleep for your baby—and better rest for your family.
