YOUR VISIT
Newborn visits
Every newborn baby deserves a healthy start
A lifetime of good health begins here
Welcome to the ABCD Pediatrics family
A head-to-toe health check for your newborn
During your newborn visit, we will perform a thorough physical examination of your baby, check their developmental milestones, measure their height and weight, and assess their feeding, sleeping, and voiding (stooling) habits. If you have medical questions or need newborn care advice, this visit is the perfect place to ask.
We will also review your hospital or birthing center discharge papers to make sure all necessary screenings and vaccines are complete (including a newborn screening/PKU, hearing test, and hepatitis B vaccine). We will also talk about future appointments and a recommended vaccine schedule with you.
Care that keeps your baby’s safety in mind
All newborn visits at ABCD Pediatrics are scheduled early in the morning (we open at 8:00 a.m.) or immediately after lunch to minimize your baby’s exposure to other children. You will be sent directly to an exam room when you arrive or wait in the designated well visit area if no exam room is available. Please remember to bring your hospital or birthing center discharge papers, driver’s license, and insurance card with you.
Before you leave the office, we will schedule your baby’s next set of appointments to continue monitoring their developmental milestones and avoid any vaccine delays — creating a healthy connection from the start.
