Newborn Care Services

The first weeks of life are critical for establishing healthy patterns and detecting potential health concerns. We provide comprehensive newborn care, supporting new parents through this important transition with expert medical guidance and compassionate support.

Newborn Examination & Follow-Up

Complete physical examination of your newborn checks for any congenital abnormalities, assesses feeding and elimination patterns, and ensures proper weight gain. Follow-up visits in the first weeks monitor jaundice, umbilical cord healing, and overall adaptation to life outside the womb. We address parental concerns and provide reassurance during this adjustment period.

Jaundice Assessment & Management

Newborn jaundice is common but requires careful monitoring. We assess jaundice severity through visual inspection and bilirubin testing when needed. Management recommendations range from increased feeding to phototherapy for significant hyperbilirubinemia. We ensure appropriate follow-up to prevent complications while minimizing unnecessary interventions.

Breastfeeding Support & Counseling

Successful breastfeeding is important for infant health but can be challenging for new mothers. We provide evidence-based lactation support, assess latch and positioning, troubleshoot common problems like engorgement or low milk supply, and offer guidance on establishing and maintaining breastfeeding. We also support mothers who choose formula feeding with appropriate recommendations.

Newborn Screening & Parent Education

Newborn screening tests identify rare but serious genetic, metabolic, and endocrine disorders. We explain screening processes, interpret results, and coordinate follow-up when needed. Parent education covers infant care basics including bathing, safe sleep practices, recognizing illness signs, and when to seek medical attention. We support parents in developing confidence in caring for their newborn.
