The early days with a newborn are a time of rapid change and adjustment. Our approach to newborn care focuses on supporting healthy transition in the first weeks of life, while helping parents understand what is normal, what to expect, and when to reach out for support. For babies born through our practice, our midwives provide early newborn care and follow-up during the first two to three weeks of life. During this time, we monitor growth, feeding, and overall well-being, and offer guidance as families settle into life at home.

Some newborn screenings and assessments are completed at the place of birth. For babies born in the hospital, screenings such as hearing and congenital heart defect screening are typically completed before discharge. For birth center births, recommended newborn screenings are coordinated through our practice and are completed over the course of your follow up visits. As newborn care transitions to the pediatric provider of your choosing, we coordinate closely to ensure there are no gaps in care.
