We Can Help With Newborn Care

The old adage about children not coming with an instruction manual is no longer true, instead, many new parents can find themselves overwhelmed with all the information at their fingertips. It's why it's important to find an expert who already possesses all of this knowledge and can guide you through newborn care, such as our local pediatricians of Mid Kansas Pediatric Associates in East Wichita, West Wichita, and Derby, KS.

Importance of a Pediatrician

Having a pediatrician you can turn to for help caring for your newborn is very important. So much so that many experts recommend that you begin your search for your child's pediatrician before they are even born. You can typically begin your search about three months prior to the expected delivery to be safe, this saves you the trouble of finding a pediatrician last minute as the recommended first appointment with the doctor should take place just days after being dismissed from the hospital.

Well-Child Visits

Your child's first visit with their pediatrician is one of the many they can expect during their childhood, with about six of them taking place before their first birthday.

Newborns are physically examined at every one of these appointments to make sure they are meeting their milestones and to monitor their growth, as well as provide the needed immunizations.

Regular visits allow our doctor to spot any potential issues as early as possible and provide just as early treatment.

Our doctor can provide guidance during these meetings and they're also a perfect time to address any concerns you may have and ask questions regarding your baby's care.
