Questions After Discharge
When do I take my baby to the doctor?
You should see your baby's doctor within 2 weeks after you take your baby home unless your doctor has stated otherwise.
Who can I call if I have a question once my baby is home from the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit)?
Your baby's doctor will want you to call if you have any questions. You can also contact the NICU where your baby was the past weeks or months.
