After your baby goes home from the hospital, there are a few very important things to remember:
- Newborns should not be around many people. Please do not take your newborn out in public (to the store or work) or allow anyone around the baby that may be sick. You should be careful with exposing your baby to illnesses until after the baby is 2 months old.
- If you newborn baby has any temperature > 100.5˚ (TAKEN RECTALLY) you must call us immediately
- Do not give your newborn baby any medication unless directed by our doctors
- Babies usually feed every 2-3 hours during the day and 3-4 hours during the night
- If your baby is not feeding well after you go home or seems to be “looking yellow or orange” please contact us so we can evaluate the baby
