When you go to the hospital on delivery day, the hospital staff will ask you who you\u2019ve chosen as your pediatrician; let them know you have selected our group. If you deliver at one of the hospitals where our pediatricians round in the newborn nurseries, we will visit you and your new baby within the first 24 hours of life. Even if you deliver elsewhere, we will gladly accept your child as a patient.<\/p>\n
Newborn Visit<\/h3>\n
In accordance with the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics, we like to have your baby\u2019s first check-up about 2 to 3 days after you get home from the hospital. This visit is crucial for the evaluation of feeding progress, hydration, and management of expected weight loss. Most parents find this visit to be a reassuring one for all. We also recommend an appointment with our lactation consultant to discuss feeding progression.<\/p>\n
Insurance<\/h3>\n
For newborns, you have thirty days to enroll your child under your health insurance policy.<\/p>\n
Please feel free to contact us at (904) 387-6200 with any questions. We look forward to welcoming you as part of our practice!<\/p>\n
