If you have or are about to welcome your new baby into the world—congratulations! Being a new parent is one of the most exciting times. Of course, we also know that there are a lot of trials and tribulations that come with this new venture, and our Chicago, IL, pediatricians are here to help make the transition a little easier. Here’s how,
We Answer Your Questions
These visits are essential for all children. They allow us to monitor your child’s health, growth, and development to pinpoint issues early on; however, these visits are crucial for parents, particularly new parents. Don’t hesitate to bring questions you might have about bathing, sleeping, feeding and anything in between about your child. We know you have a lot on your mind, and our pediatric team can answer your questions and address any concerns you might have.
We Provide Support
We also recognize the fourth trimester (the first 12 weeks after birth). Many women deal with depression and other postpartum symptoms during this time. You may be surprised to hear that our pediatric team can provide maternal depression screenings, advice, support, and additional resources and referrals to support your mental and emotional health. Our team is here for you as much as your growing family.
We Provide Consultations
You’ll want to find a pediatrician before your baby is even born. This means you’ll spend some time looking through personal recommendations of pediatricians as well as online reviews. Remember, you can schedule an in-office consultation with our team to see if we’re an excellent fit for your family. This way, you can get to know our office, our staff, and pediatricians and get any questions answered about our practice, experience, and services. This one-on-one time is incredibly important for providing peace of mind that you’ve found the ideal pediatrician for your family.
We Offer Guidance
Whether you have questions about the best car seats (or how to install a car seat properly), what position your baby should sleep in to reduce the risk for SIDs, or you’re having trouble breastfeeding, our team is here for you whenever you need it. We can provide new parents with various product recommendations to make caring for their newborn a little easier. We can also offer lactation support for nursing moms.
The pediatric team at Children's Healthcare Associates is proud to provide care and support to new parents. Call (773) 348-8300 to schedule a consultation with our team or book your child’s next well-child visit.
