Your Baby’s First Visit

Before heading home, hospital staff will guide you on when to schedule your newborn’s first checkup, typically 3–5 days after birth. During this visit, we will:

✨ Check your baby’s weight and vital signs
✨ Conduct a comprehensive physical exam
✨Provide breastfeeding and feeding guidance
✨Monitor stools, feeding patterns, and signs of jaundice

Please remember to:
👉Bring your insurance card and discharge paperwork
👉Enroll your newborn in your insurance plan within 30 days

We recommend discussing coverage with your insurance provider or HR department to ensure your newborn’s health needs are fully supported.
