Each newborn appointment at Smyrna Pediatrics focuses on the growth and development of your new bundle of joy. Our providers will measure your baby's height, weight, and head circumference while performing a physical exam. The team will check  on your babies eating, sleeping, and bowel movements each visit. During these appointments, we encourage you to ask any questions you may have. 

At Smyrna Pediatrics, we believe loving and nurturing your child is just as important as remembering feed times and nap schedules. Instead of keeping a strict schedule, Dr. Ricafort recommends easing into newborn care by going with the flow. She recommends striving to start each day with a positive attitude and open mind.
