Babies arrive with many needs and no instructions on how to meet them and parents often have questions that go beyond medical concerns. We are here to help answer any social or emotional questions you might have as you raise your baby. We are committed to excellence in the care of newborns, children, and young adults.
Our providers and specialists meet with parents and babies at regularly scheduled well child check-ups starting at two-weeks and continuing at two-month and four-month intervals. During theses visits parents are asked if they have any questions or concerns about their baby’s social and emotional development, and are provided up to date resources and information about appropriate child development stages as well as parenting concerns.
The specialist spends a lot of time helping parents understand what is within the scope of normal. Common topics addressed are crying, spitting up, breastfeeding, sleep, post partum depression, and connecting parents to community resources.
Parental support is an important part of children's healthcare and we want to build confidence in parents through education, emotional support, and referrals to other community agencies.
