Newborn visits
We recommend that your newborn be seen within 2 days of leaving the hospital. Newborn appointments are available 6 days a week. Call 253-383-5777, option 1 to schedule your appointment.
Your newborn’s well child visit includes important screenings to help ensure your baby is healthy and thriving. We will check for jaundice, a common condition in newborns, perform a weight check, address any feeding concerns, and may recommend laboratory testing when appropriate. Your baby’s well child visits will help us track important developmental milestones and protect against preventable diseases by keeping vaccinations up to date according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended schedule.
During your child’s early visits, we may offer a brief postpartum emotional wellness screening because a parent’s wellbeing is an important part of a child’s overall health and development. The screening is quick, confidential, and helps identify opportunities for additional support or resources if needed. Postpartum depression and anxiety are common, treatable, and support is available—you are not alone.
