Baby care basics

It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by this new member of your family. You want to do everything perfectly, but may worry that you might make a mistake. These feelings and worries are a normal part of being a mother.

We are here to help you feel more comfortable and confident in caring for your baby. We’ve put together many good resources to help you:

• Your baby will get the best possible care through regular appointments with a pediatrician. Your baby’s doctor will guide you through the necessary screening tests and immunizations and check that your baby is meeting important development milestones.
• You can make pediatrician appointments and view medical information for your baby with My health manager.
• We have classes, age-specific newsletters, and health information online to help you learn about caring for your little one at home.
