What should I expect during newborn care appointments?

During newborn care appointments at Robertson Pediatrics, Dr. Sammy meets with you and your new addition. His staff weighs your baby and checks their length, head circumference, and vital signs. Dr. Sammy will then ask a series of questions about your baby’s daily routine and health.

Dr. Sammy also completes a comprehensive physical exam to assess your baby’s overall health and wellness. He screens for medical problems, including developmental issues and signs of illnesses or diseases.

Robertson Pediatrics offers immunizations for newborns, diagnostic testing, and treatment when needed. Dr. Sammy addresses concerns you may have about your baby’s growth, development, or overall well-being.

When should I schedule newborn care visits?

You may schedule a newborn care visit with Dr. Sammy a few days after your baby is born and again at two weeks, one month, and two months of age. His colleagues can examine your baby while you’re still in the hospital, right after delivery. Schedule an in-office or home visit with Dr. Sammy if your baby becomes ill or experiences new or unusual symptoms. 

You can call his office any time you have questions about how to care for your baby or need to address concerns.
