Newborn Care Center

Newborn care often revolves around feedings, changing diapers and proper hygiene. However, new parents may fear relatively rare problems, such as SIDS or shaken baby syndrome. Additional issues include fetal alcohol syndrome, phenylketonuria or pyloric stenosis. More common but less serious issues include thrush, colic, cradle cap, erythema toxicum and umbilical hernias.
