Educating Parents About Baby's Health
There is a lot of information about how best to raise your little one and we know this can be overwhelming, especially for new parents. During our newborn pediatrician appointments we have ample time to discuss holistic newborn care and the many contributors to your child’s physical and emotional health & development, and provide you with information about:
- Vaccination
- Nutrition for expectant and breastfeeding mothers
- Whole organic foods and safe products that will minimize harmful chemicals your child is exposed to
- Botanical and non-pharmaceutical remedies for common ailments to prevent overprescribing medication
- Developmental stages and how to nurture your child's emotional intelligence, creative potential, expressive language, and cognitive growth
We really get to know our little patients and their families. That way, whatever your question or concern we are able to personalize our approach and advice.
