  • Guidance on feeding, common newborn questions, and what to expect after birth
  • Overview of the first newborn visit after hospital discharge

  • A tour of our office and an introduction to our practice

There is no charge and no obligation to continue care with Cobb Pediatrics after your visit.

What Happens During a Prenatal Visit?

During a prenatal visit, families can expect:

  • A brief introduction with a pediatric provider or nurse practitioner
  • Time to ask questions about newborn care, feeding, and early appointments
  • Guidance on what happens after delivery and how to schedule the first newborn visit
  • An overview of next steps for establishing care once your baby is born
  • An opportunity to learn more about our practice, providers, and office experience

Expecting parents may also tour our facility and learn how our team supports families from the first newborn visit and throughout childhood. These visits are designed to help families feel informed and comfortable before delivery.

When Should My Family Schedule a Prenatal Visit?

Families may schedule a prenatal visit at any point during pregnancy when they would like to learn more about pediatric care before delivery.

A prenatal visit may be helpful if:

  • You are expecting a baby and want to meet a pediatric provider before delivery
  • You would like to learn more about Cobb Pediatrics and our approach to newborn care
  • You have questions about feeding, early routines, or your baby’s first appointments
  • You want to understand the next steps for establishing care once your baby arrives
  • You would like to become familiar with our office before your baby’s first visit

Scheduling a prenatal visit ahead of delivery gives families time to ask questions, meet our team, and feel prepared for the transition home with a newborn.

Welcoming Your Baby to Cobb Pediatrics

Once your baby is born, you simply need to notify the hospital staff that you have chosen Cobb Pediatrics to provide your baby’s pediatric healthcare.

A hospital-staffed pediatrician will see your newborn while in the hospital, and they will also give you pertinent paperwork to bring with you to your first visit with us.

Unless the hospital pediatrician recommends otherwise, the typical time frame for the baby’s first visit to our office is 1-3 days after you’re discharged. If you’ve been to our office for a prenatal visit, you will be pre-registered so scheduling your baby’s initial visit with will be us will be a breeze.

Your first few days at home will be exciting (possibly chaotic) and you will have one less thing to worry about! Once you do get home, if you have any questions or concerns prior to your visit, we are just a phone call away.

Vaccines & Preventive Care

Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect your child’s health. At Cobb Pediatrics, we follow the recommended immunization schedule to keep our patients, families, and community safe.

Because we believe strongly in this standard of care, we require that all patients stay up to date on their vaccinations. If you choose not to vaccinate, we understand that every family has different beliefs, and we may not be the right fit. In those cases, we kindly ask families to find a healthcare provider whose approach matches their own.
