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 screening for severe but treatable diseases. We will also check for jaundice, a common condition in newborns, along with a weight check and addressing any feeding concerns. Your baby’s well child visits will help us track important milestones in their development and prevent harmful diseases by keeping vaccines up to date according to the 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.
