When should I take my baby to a first doctor's visit?

Babies are usually checked by a health care provider within the first week of going home from the hospital. At this first visit your health care provider will:

• Weigh your baby and measure his length and head circumference.
• Check for signs of jaundice.
• Check on how feeding is going for you and your baby.
• Do a general physical exam.
• Ask how the family is adjusting.
• Complete any screening tests that were not done at the hospital
