Supporting Newborn Health in the First Month

Importance of Regular Check-Ups

Regular pediatric check-ups ensure your newborn is meeting growth and developmental milestones. During these visits, your doctor will monitor weight, height, and head circumference.

Vaccination Basics

Vaccinations protect your baby from serious illnesses. Discuss the recommended vaccination schedule with your pediatrician to ensure your newborn is protected.

Maintaining Hygiene

Keep your baby’s skin clean and moisturized using gentle, hypoallergenic products. Regularly clean your baby’s face, hands, and diaper area to prevent rashes and infections.

Building Immunity

Breastfeeding, when possible, provides essential antibodies that support your baby’s immune system. For formula-fed babies, ensure the formula meets all nutritional requirements. More information can be found on CDC Immunization Schedule.
