NEWBORN Baby & Infant Care (Birth – 1 Year)

New Windsor Pediatrics is here to ease your mind and assist you with any questions or concerns you may have about your newborn.

You can schedule an in-person consultation or call by phone to ask any questions you may have. We encourage parents to bring their child in 2 days after the baby is discharged from the hospital.

For the first year of their life, all children will be seen several times, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics schedule, to receive their vaccinations and other preventative care.

Below you will find a timeline of the physical examinations (PE) that take place and a quick summary of what happens at each of those visits.
