Newborn Care

Caring for Your Baby From the Very Beginning

Your Baby’s First Visit

The first few weeks of your baby’s life are filled with exciting milestones and new experiences. At Fairfield Pediatrics, we are committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive newborn care while supporting parents through this important transition.

We recommend scheduling your baby’s first visit within 3–5 days after hospital discharge. For babies who require a prolonged hospital stay, we would like to see them within the first week after discharge.

During your baby’s first visit, we will assess weight, feeding, jaundice, growth, and overall health. We will also discuss safe sleep practices, routine newborn care, and answer any questions you may have. We look forward to welcoming your newest family member to Fairfield Pediatrics!

Supporting Healthy Growth and Development

Newborns grow and change rapidly. Regular visits allow us to track your baby’s growth, monitor developmental milestones, and ensure they are receiving the care they need to thrive.

We follow recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics and provide guidance tailored to your child’s unique needs. As your baby grows, we will continue to support you with information on feeding, sleep, safety, immunizations, and developmental progress.
