Newborn care with Full Spectrum

Did you know that midwives are trained to care for newborns for the first 2-4 weeks after birth? We do a full head-to-toe check up on baby's birthday, including weighing, measuring and giving any routine newborn medications you have opted for your baby to receive. We also do two more home visits in the first week to check on baby's wellbeing and provide breastfeeding/chestfeeding support. We then see baby in our office for their two week check-up, at which point we send all our newborn records to your pediatric care provider for ongoing care. We offer all the same routine tests done at hospital, such as the newborn screening, heart/oxygen test, and hearing screen. New parents love having their first baby checks done right in their own home. And, taking care of babies is one of our favorite parts of the job!
