Mid Kansas Pediatric Associates in Wichita and Derby, KS, is a multi-doctor facility with a reputation for quality and excellence. With a group of truly caring doctors — many of whom are parents themselves — we’re here to help you with many health concerns. For example, being knowledgeable about newborn care is important to keep your little one safe.
A healthy baby is wonderful — there’s nothing like a happy little one quietly sleeping in their crib to make a parent happy — and keeping them healthy is critical. During the early days, they’re especially vulnerable and may have particular problems that are less likely to occur a few weeks on.
When your baby is healthy and normal, they should eat a few times a day, rest a lot (it’s not uncommon for them to sleep over 16 hours), and cry a little when they need you. That’s all well and good, but when should you be worried? Is your child not developing like their older siblings? That happens and your baby isn’t necessarily in danger.
Our team at Mid Kansas Pediatric Associates in Wichita and Derby knows that it’s common for things to go wrong. Is that reason to panic? 99% of the time, no — doing so will only drive you crazy. That said, there are times when a baby needs attention.
Symptoms of something is wrong with your little one include:
