You’re probably feeling excited and ready to take on motherhood after nine months of waiting. As a new mother, it’s likely that much of your time and attention will be on your new baby, which is why it is so important for you to take care of yourself in order to rebuild your strength.
Picking an OB/GYN or pediatrician is a very personal process, – the physician that you choose will be an important part of your entire pregnancy. The pediatrician you choose will be an integral part of your child’s life. Being prepared is a big part of pregnancy; instead of choosing your OB/GYN or pediatrician at random, Baptist Health wants you to feel secure in your choice of physician. We talked to real pregnant women and new moms to compile a list of criteria that they considered when selecting their ideal OB/GYN and Pediatrician.

Breast milk is the perfect food for your baby. It’s filled with just the right amount of nutrients and is gentle on little stomachs, intestines and other body systems. If you’re struggling with whether or not you should breastfeed, here are a few things to keep in mind.
In the first 2 weeks of breastfeeding, painful nipples and painful breasts are frequent complaints received from new mothers on the Baptist Health breastfeeding warmline. Pain is the number one reason new mothers discontinue breastfeeding too soon. While some nipple soreness and moderate discomfort from engorgement in the first 5-7 days is common and can be considered normal, both of these issues should resolve by day 7-10 and new mothers will be pain free for as long as they choose to breastfeed.
