Our team of pediatricians is happy to answer any and all of your questions regarding newborn care, beginning with the frequency of visits you can expect with us.
Essential Care For Your Newborn
Whether or not you're expecting your firstborn, it may be an understatement to say that the growth and development of your newborn baby will be absolutely remarkable—furthering the importance to understand the essential care needed for your newborn.
Finding the right pediatrician before the time of birth is imperative to the overall wellness of your newborn, as we closely monitor their health to provide the exceptional personalized care your baby deserves. You and your pediatrician in Chicago and Northbrook, IL, will work closely together as your newborn grows, meaning you can expect frequent visits with us at Children's Healthcare Associates.
What To Expect When You Visit With Us
When you visit with our pediatricians, who specialize in caring for newborn babies and young children, you can take comfort in knowing that we closely tend to your baby's needs and ensure their safety.
Generally, your pediatrician will recommend having your first visit with your newborn between 3-5 days post-birth. After your initial visit, your pediatrician will be able to better determine the frequency of visits needed. Every newborn is different, which is why there isn't any unanimous answer for how often you should visit your pediatrician!
The purpose of each visit will vary from a full physical exam (i.e. to measure the responsiveness and growth of your baby) to assessing concerns, like a high fever.
