Georgetown Baby

A Year of Firsts

Welcome to Georgetown Baby

Bringing home a new baby comes with moments of joy, uncertainty, exhaustion, and wonder. Whether this is your first baby or your fourth, you’ll have questions along the way. That’s completely normal.
Our team is here to provide guidance, answer questions, and support your family throughout the first year and beyond.

The first year comes with plenty of questions, and that’s completely normal. Whether you’re wondering about feeding, sleep, milestones, or something that simply doesn’t feel right, you’ll have a team that’s ready to listen and help.

Feeding Your Baby

Every family approaches feeding a little differently. Whether you’re breastfeeding, formula feeding, pumping, or combining methods, our team provides evidence-based guidance to help you make informed decisions that work for your family.

Breastfeeding Support

Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it always comes naturally. Our providers and lactation specialists offer personalized support to help you and your baby feel comfortable and confident. Lactation visits may include:

Achieving a comfortable latch
Understanding hunger and fullness cues
Milk supply questions
Feeding frequency and growth patterns
Managing common concerns such as soreness or engorgement

Safe Sleep & Healthy Sleep Habits

Sleep can be one of the biggest adjustments for new parents. We provide practical guidance to help families establish healthy sleep habits while following safe sleep recommendations during the first year.

Safe Sleep Guidelines for Infants

Always place your baby on their back for sleep
Use a firm, flat mattress with a fitted sheet only
Share a room, not a bed, during infancy
Dress baby in lightweight clothing and consider a wearable sleep sack
Maintain a smoke-free environment

Understanding Newborn Sleep

Newborns typically sleep 14-17 hours each day
Sleep occurs in short stretches throughout the day and night
Day and night confusion is common at first
Active sleep often includes movement, sounds, and facial expressions

Building Healthy Sleep Habits

Watch for sleepy cues such as yawning, rubbing eyes, or fussiness
Put baby down drowsy but awake when possible
Establish a simple bedtime routine
Encourage daytime feeds and daytime interaction
Be patient as sleep patterns develop over time
