Newborn Metabolic Screening
Newborn metabolic screening is just one of the many things that happen in the first few days after your baby is born. The Baby’s First Test website explains what the newborn screening is and can help parents prepare for the screening process and answer questions such as “What to expect?” and “What conditions are screened for in Georgia?”
Breastfeeding
The International Breastfeeding Centre is founded upon reliable, well-researched information to offer real, practical breastfeeding help. The website features information sheets and videos on everything from starting out right, to blocked ducts and mastitis, and herbal remedies for milk supply.
Vaccine Friendly Pediatricians
Ultimately, vaccination decisions are your choice and responsibility. Whether you plan to fully vaccinate, delay vaccination, or opt not to have your child vaccinated, it is important that the Pediatrician you select is respectful of your wishes to care for your child in the way you believe is best. Here is a great list from the Anticancer Mom Blog of providers in the Metro-Atlanta area, with notes on whether or not the pediatrician is non-vaccine or delayed vaccine friendly.
Chiropractic and prenatal massage work to reduce pain and stiffness by promoting blood circulation and reducing inflammation in the body. The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and its community of 6,000 chiropractic doctors specialize in dealing with prenatal care, pregnancy and children.
