Congratulations on your new baby! Your baby’s doctor will provide care in the hospital and will continue to see your baby for routine visits. At Glacier Medical Associates, your child can be seen on the same day and urgent care visits when he or she is sick. Our board-certified pediatricians and family medicine physicians are available for newborn care following the birth of your baby.

Your baby will have a follow-up appointment at North Valley Hospital 2 days after discharge. This will be a visit with the nurse to check your baby’s weight, check for jaundice and to assess feeding and any other concerns you may have. Glacier Medical Associates will then see your baby for regular appointments at 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months and 2 years of age.
It is important for your doctor to see your baby regularly to make sure you and your baby are doing well. Try to develop a habit of jotting down questions about your child’s health or behavior at home and bring this list with you to office visits to discuss with your doctor. If at all possible, both the mother and father should go to these visits.
