New Moms & Dads

Congratulations! After nine months of anticipation and long hours of labor, you and your new baby are home from the hospital. We know that you’ve been reading many books and getting advice from friends and family. We know that each child is different, so for specific concerns please call our office at 845-483-5852 and speak to a nurse or doctor.

If you are home after < 48 hours from giving birth, your baby should see the doctor within the next 2-3 days. At this initial visit, we will check the baby’s weight, look for jaundice and answer questions.

This section contains some general tips that can help you get through those initial days and weeks. Please refer to the links under the Index to the
