  • Provide specialized care for premature or low birth weight babies, babies with underlying medical conditions, or those who experienced birth trauma
  • Measure your baby and assess his or her health and development, and monitor the need for any early intervention services
  • Answer questions about caring for your baby, and show you how to breastfeed, diaper, feed, dress, and bathe your baby safely

  • Support to manage your gestational diabetes
  • The care you need to heal after giving birth, including post-cesarean wound care
  • Emotional support as you adjust to this life-changing event, including helping you to recognize the signs of postpartum depression
