Newborn Care and Lactation Support Q&A
When should my baby have their first newborn visit?
In most cases, you should schedule your baby’s first newborn visit with Dr. Ha when they’re 2-3 days old. However, if your baby was premature or had a prolonged stay in the neonatal intensive care unit, Dr. Ha adjusts the newborn care schedule for the situation.
Palisades Pediatricseeeeee provides routine and chronic care and coordinates specialized care for all newborns, whether it was an uneventful full term birth or your child has special needs.
The first visit is a great chance for Dr. Ha to get acquainted with your new addition, as well as for you to get some much-needed parental support.
What is the newborn care schedule?
Your baby grows in leaps and bounds during their first year of life, so having a regular schedule for newborn care is essential. At Palisades Pediatrics, Dr. Ha makes it easy to get the newborn care your baby needs through regular well-baby visits.
A typical well child care schedule for the first year includes appointments at the following intervals:
- 2-3 days after hospital discharge
- 2 weeks
- 1 month
- 2 month
- 4 month
- 6 month
- 9 month
This is only a general well-baby schedule, so if you have any concerns about your child’s health between these visits, don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. Ha and the team for support and an interval visit.
How do you help with newborn care?
