Newborn visits are the first step of your baby’s care

Congratulations! Whether this is your first child or an addition to your growing family, every parent wants to make sure their new baby gets the care they need — and newborn visits are an essential part of that care.

Your newborn visit at Coastal Kids should take place 24-48 hours after being discharged from the hospital or birthing center. We offer a dedicated newborn phone line to help make scheduling your appointment simple. Remember to contact your insurance company and have your baby added to your health plan.

We can’t wait to welcome your baby

Welcome to the Coastal Kids family! Our team is waiting to register your new baby and schedule a newborn visit at your nearest Coastal Kids office. Call our office and you’ll be promptly connected to a dedicated care team agent who is ready to assist you. Your baby’s first appointment is scheduled 24–48 hours after leaving the hospital or birthing center.

A head-to-toe health check for your newborn

During your newborn visit, we will perform a complete physical examination of your baby. We will also check their developmental milestones and assess their weight, feeding, sleeping, and voiding (stooling) habits. If you have questions or need advice, this visit is a perfect time to ask.

We will also review your hospital or birthing center discharge papers to make sure all necessary screenings and vaccines are complete (including a newborn screening/PKU, hearing test, and hepatitis B vaccine) and discuss upcoming appointments and vaccines with you.

Your baby’s care and safety are top priorities

All newborn visits at Coastal Kids are scheduled first thing in the morning or first thing in the afternoon to minimize your baby’s exposure to other children. You will go directly to an exam room when you arrive or wait in a designated well visit area if no exam room is available. Please remember to bring your hospital or birthing center discharge papers, driver’s license, and insurance card with you.

Before you leave the office, our staff will schedule your baby’s next set of appointments to ensure their milestones are met and avoid any vaccine delays — building a healthy relationship from the start.
