Newborns should see a pediatrician within the first 2–3 days after leaving the hospital. At your baby’s first appointment, we’ll:
- Monitor weight, feeding, and growth
- Check for jaundice and any early concerns
- Offer guidance on sleep, feeding, diapering, and more
This first visit sets the tone for your baby’s future health, so it’s important to choose a pediatrician experienced in newborn care.

No question is too small during your baby’s first year. Parents often ask:
