Pediatric Service
Newborns & First Time Moms
At Grossmont Pediatrics, we’ve all been new parents ourselves at one time or another, so we understand your unique concerns about your baby. Our Board-Certified pediatricians provide the area’s most trusted healthcare for newborns.
What’s involved in newborn health care?
After you deliver your baby, you can expect a variety of testing and evaluations to take place soon after birth, including height and weight measurements, body temperature, heart rate, and newborn activity.
Your provider can see your baby while they’re still in the hospital and administer standard newborn tests, including a physical examination and blood work.
If your baby was born early or has specific health concerns, your Board-Certified doctor can recommend a treatment plan and coordinate care with other specialists.
When should I be concerned about my newborn’s health?
As a new mom, you may frequently worry about your baby’s health. Common issues that may affect your newborn that need medical attention include:
- Eye discharge
- Fever above 100.4°F
- Trouble breathing
- Chronic vomiting or diarrhea
You can also contact the office at Grossmont Pediatrics to discuss other concerns you have about your baby’s health or development.
