Welcoming Your New Baby

Being the mother of a new baby is a huge responsibility. No one is born with the skills necessary to care for a baby. Simply put, you learn mothering skills by taking care of your baby. If you are already a parent, the duties may be more familiar, but each new baby is amazing and unique and keeping them healthy and happy is important.

Healthy Baby

During your child's first 1,000 days of life, they will need hearing, lead, and developmental screenings (tests that doctors use to check for health conditions) to help ensure they are growing and developing well.
