Newborn Care

Lactation assistance is provided at the Main Street location. You can expect that your newborn child will be seen there for the first 30 days of life before transitioning to either the Penguin or Dolphin team.

Newborns are to be seen 1-2 days after being discharged from the hospital to check weight, feeding, and for a physical examination. Appointment needs to be attended by the mother; due to the size of our rooms there is space available for one other person to accompany mom.

Our providers do Newborn Rounding’s at OHSU Hillsboro Hospital and Providence St. Vincent’s Hospital. If you plan on delivering your newborn at either of these hospitals, you will need to let the hospital team know (usually in your last trimester of pregnancy) that Hillsboro Pediatric Clinic will be your child’s Pediatric office, and the hospital will contact one of our doctors to come meet your newest addition. Our doctor will notify our schedulers of the birth of your child and we will call you to schedule baby’s first appointment.

If you are planning on delivering at a different hospital, please be aware that newborns are to be seen 1-2 days after discharge please be sure to call us as soon as possible to schedule the first appointment.

While our providers have been handing out newborn registration forms in the hospital for parents and/or guardians to complete ahead of baby’s first appointment, you can always access and complete the newborn registration packet on our website.
