What to expect during those precious first weeks at home
The First Visit: We'll see you 2-3 days after hospital discharge. Bring your hospital discharge papers and any questions about feeding or jaundice.
Focus: Feeding establishment, weight checks, and parent recovery. We can refer you to Baby+Company or local doulas for postpartum support.
Growth Check: By now, most babies should be back to their birth weight. We'll monitor feeding patterns and sleep stretches.
Nashville Tip: If you're feeling up to it, a gentle stroll in a flat, paved park like Fannie Mae Dees Park (Dragon Park) can be refreshing for fresh air.
Development: Your baby may start lifting their head briefly during tummy time and focusing on faces.
Health: We'll administer the second Hepatitis B vaccine if needed and discuss sleep safety in detail.

What to expect during those first precious weeks
The first week is all about recovery and bonding. We'll see you 3-5 days after birth to check weight, feeding, and jaundice levels. Don't worry if baby loses a little weight—it's normal!
By two weeks, most babies are back to birth weight. We'll discuss sleep patterns, soothing techniques, and vitamin D supplementation. This is also when we start monitoring for developmental milestones.
