Welcoming a newborn is one of life’s most joyful moments—and one of the most overwhelming. At PurePediatrics, we understand that those first seven days at home bring both wonder and worry. Our concierge pediatric practice in Houston is here to make your transition smooth, safe, and stress-free, so you can focus on what matters most: bonding with your baby.

From your baby’s first day home, you have a dedicated partner in newborn care.
Preparing Your Home Before Baby Arrives
Our team helps you create a safe, welcoming nursery before your little one arrives. We guide you through evidence-based safe sleep practices, ensuring your crib meets current safety standards—free of loose bedding, pillows, and other hazards. Preparation brings confidence, and we’re here to help you get ready.
Feeding Support Around the Clock
Newborns typically feed every 2–3 hours, and questions rarely wait for business hours. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, or combining both, PurePediatrics families enjoy 24/7 access to pediatricians for:
- Breastfeeding troubleshooting and latch assistance
- Formula selection and preparation guidance
- Recognizing hunger cues and tracking feeding progress
- Addressing concerns about weight gain or feeding difficulties
When issues arise, we’re just a call or text away. No automated systems, no waiting until morning—real pediatric support when you need it most.
Bathing, Diapering, and Daily Care
Those first baths can feel intimidating, but you’re not navigating them alone. Our doctors provide step-by-step guidance on:
- Sponge bathing until the umbilical cord falls off (typically 1–2 weeks)
- Transitioning to tub baths safely
- Preventing and treating diaper rash
- Umbilical cord care and recognizing signs of infection
- Choosing gentle, baby-safe products
Establishing Healthy Sleep Habits
Newborns sleep 14–18 hours per day, but usually in 2–4 hour stretches. PurePediatrics helps you establish safe sleep routines from day one, addressing:
- Safe sleep positioning (always on their back)
- Appropriate swaddling techniques
- Using white noise and other sleep aids safely
- Managing nighttime fussiness and crying
- When to worry and when to relax
