YOUR VISIT
Newborn visits
Get your baby off to a healthy start
Setting the foundation for your baby’s care
Head-to-toe health checks for your newborn
During each newborn visit, your Healthy Kids provider will perform a complete physical examination, check your baby’s developmental milestones, and assess their weight, feeding, sleeping, and voiding (stooling) habits. If you have questions, these visits are an ideal time to ask.
Your provider will also check your hospital discharge papers to make sure all necessary screenings and vaccines were completed (including a hearing test, newborn screening/PKU, and hepatitis B vaccine) and discuss upcoming appointments and vaccines with you.
Protecting our littlest patients
All newborn visits at Healthy Kids Pediatric Group are scheduled first thing in the morning or first thing in the afternoon to minimize exposure to other children. Your baby will go directly to an exam room upon arrival or wait in a designated well visit area if no exam room is available. Please remember to bring your hospital discharge papers, driver’s license, and insurance card with you.
Before you leave, we will schedule your baby’s next set of appointments to continue monitoring their milestones and avoid any vaccine delays — creating a healthy relationship from the start.
