Well-baby care is really a catchy phrase for preventive, primary care for children. Regular checkups ensure that your baby or child is developing properly. Importantly, checkups allow children to get their regularly scheduled immunizations, which prevent dangerous childhood diseases such as measles, polio or whooping cough. And of course, if your child is sick with a typical, non-emergency ailment such as an ear infection or strep throat, treatments are handled at a Brookdale Family Care Center.

The ICN staff is experienced at helping parents prepare for the transition to caring for their baby at home. Many infants will be fine at discharge and can be cared for as normal newborns.

If a baby needs a home apnea monitor or oxygen, parents will learn to manage these.

While your baby is in the NICU, our primary care team, consisting of a neonatologist and registered nurse will manage the care of your baby.
