Newborn Care

Newborn care at our practice begins the moment your baby arrives and continues as an integral part of the comprehensive support we provide. Your baby's first checkup typically takes place just days after leaving the hospital, where our pediatricians check weight, length, and head circumference, assess feeding and sleep habits, and perform a full physical exam, including a developmental evaluation and eye exam. From there, we follow a schedule of well-child visits that track your baby's growth and milestones while administering immunizations against illnesses such as polio, hepatitis B, and rotavirus in small, carefully timed doses. Throughout every visit, our providers make space for your questions, whether you're navigating feeding challenges, sleep schedules, or simply want reassurance that your baby is thriving.

Are You Expecting?

If you are expecting a baby, one of the most important items to add to your prenatal checklist is choosing your child's pediatrician, and we would welcome the chance to meet your family before your due date. Scheduling a complimentary prenatal visit lets you tour our office, meet our providers, and ask questions in a relaxed setting, rather than trying to make this decision amid the busyness of a newborn's first weeks. These visits also give our team a head start by reviewing your family's health history in advance, so we are already prepared to provide personalized care once your baby arrives. Whether you're due in one week or several months away, we encourage every expecting family in Lincoln to take advantage of this simple, no-cost step, and we also invite parents to join our monthly Breastfeeding 101 class to feel even more prepared.

Newborn Resources

We know that questions about your newborn don't stop once you leave our office, which is why we offer a full library of newborn resources to support you through those early weeks at home. Topics such as safe sleep practices, feeding guidance, colic and fussiness, jaundice, diaper rash, and newborn hearing screenings are all covered in clear, parent-friendly language so you can find answers whenever you need them. These resources are designed to complement the guidance you receive during your visits, giving you a dependable reference point between appointments as you settle into life with your baby. By combining hands-on pediatric care with these educational tools, we aim to help every new parent in Lincoln, Nebraska feel informed, supported, and confident along the way.
