Home Visits for Newborns
(and beyond)
Dr. Suz believes the first few weeks of your baby's life should be gentle, supported, and rooted in trust. As a concierge pediatrician, board-certified in both pediatrics and neonatology, and breastfeeding specialist, I offer personalized home visits for the first month after birth that are designed to ease your transition into parenthood and provide exceptional care, right where you feel most comfortable.
Home visits are included with the cost of membership for the first month of life. After that, they can be arranged for an additional fee. Home visits are often helpful even for school-aged children!
What is the Fourth Trimester?
Though your baby is born, their journey of adjustment is just beginning—and so is yours. During this time:
Newborns
Are learning to regulate their bodies outside the womb
Parents
Are discovering new rhythms and adapting to changing sleep, feeding, and emotional needs
Bodies & Identities
Are healing, identities are shifting, and relationships evolve
The fourth trimester is tender, often intense, and deeply formative. It deserves just as much support as pregnancy itself.
What Happens During a Home Visit
Each visit is tailored to your newborn’s needs and your family’s goals, typically including:
Comprehensive Newborn Exam
I’ll check your baby’s growth, weight, reflexes, and general health, ensuring milestones are met and any early concerns are addressed.
Feeding & Breastfeeding Support
Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or exploring both, I guide you through feeding techniques, latching, milk supply questions, and pumping strategies with empathy and clinical expertise.
Parental Guidance & Reassurance
From sleep patterns to skin care, I walk you through the common questions and those quiet worries. This is about building confidence, not just checking boxes.
Environment & Lifestyle Assessment
I observe your baby’s living environment and offer gentle suggestions to support safe sleep, soothing routines, and developmental wellness.
Connection & Continuity
You won’t be rushed. I take time to listen, answer questions, and create a relationship rooted in genuine care and long-term support.
Newborn Tests
Newborn tests, such as bilirubin checks, are also completed.

Why It Matters
The newborn stage is sacred—and fleeting. My home visits are an opportunity for you to feel seen, heard, and wholly supported during this tender time. You’re not just receiving medical care; you’re building a foundation of trust with someone who understands newborn medicine, lactation, and the emotional journey of early parenthood.
