Are you looking for newborn care? Our Doctors take complete care of your newborn. The primary function of your baby nurse is to provide assistance in your home from post-delivery recovery to transitioning your newborn to a regular schedule and a daily routine.
Don't hesitate to ask the nurse to show you how to do something more than once! Remember, practice makes perfect. Before discharge, make sure you — and your partner — are comfortable with these newborn care basics:
Becoming a parent is exciting and overwhelming. After months of waiting, it's finally time to bring your newborn home from the hospital and care for them unsupervised. Many first-time parents find themselves with questions about caring for a new child, but it will become more natural over time. Here are the parenting do's and don'ts for a newborn baby.
A great way to reinforce your confidence about caring for your newborn is to seek help. While you're in the hospital, take advantage of doctors, nurses, and specialists to answer any questions you have. Asking for help doesn't make you a bad parent! Learn extra tips on how to hold, burp, and change your newborn to improve your parenting skills.
Brand-new babies are sensitive in many ways. Their immune systems aren't very strong, so remember to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer often. Don't be afraid to ask visitors to do the same.
Tummy time is a great way to help strengthen the muscles in your baby's head, neck, and arms. While your baby is still a newborn, sleeping on their stomach can be dangerous. Similarly, you should avoid putting toys, stuffed animals, pillows, blankets, and sleep positioners in your baby's crib.
This seems counterintuitive, but it's not recommended for newborns to sleep through the night. During both the day and night, your new baby might only sleep for two or three hours at a time. This is normal! Your baby had no schedule in the womb, so they are starting to learn the difference between day and night.
