What is Newborn Pediatric Care?

Newborn pediatric care is a specialized type of medical care for infants up to one-years-old. It involves providing comprehensive, personalized medical attention in order to monitor and manage the health and development of your newborn. At Parker Pediatrics, we provide all of these services in a safe and supportive environment.

The Importance of Newborn Pediatric Visits

Newborn pediatric visits are important for early diagnosis and treatment of any health issues that may arise. We will check your baby’s eyes, ears, nose, throat, heart rate, breathing patterns, skin condition, and more. This allows us to provide early intervention if necessary.

Our newborn pediatric care also includes comprehensive testing for hearing and vision screening. These tests can help detect any underlying problems before they become more serious. Additionally, we monitor how well babies grow during the first year of life and can identify potential developmental delays or other issues which could affect their future growth and development.

Pediatric Newborn Care FAQ

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a baby’s first doctor appointment should be within 48 hours of birth. This visit will allow us to assess your newborn for any potential health concerns, discuss the vaccination schedule, and provide you with resources and advice on how to best care for your infant.

At Parker Pediatrics, we follow the recommended immunization schedule as outlined by the CDC. This includes vaccines such as DTaP, Hepatitis B, Polio, and Rotavirus. We will discuss these at your baby’s first appointment to ensure that they stay up-to-date on all their required vaccinations.

It is important to bring your baby’s immunization records, any medical documents related to their birth or prior medical care, and updated insurance information. Additionally, we recommend that you bring a list of questions or concerns you may have about newborn care.
