What is Baby Steps?

Your baby has come home from the NICU! What’s next?

Babies born early or with various health problems often spend time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Many of these babies need special monitoring and care after they leave the NICU.

The Baby Steps clinic at ChristianaCare provides specialized care focused on health and development needs for babies after they leave the NICU.

This program does not replace a child’s pediatrician or well-child check-ups. It is an additional resource for your newborn after they “graduate” from the NICU. Some of the same doctors who cared for your child in the NICU provide care at the Baby Steps clinic. 

Parents and caregivers may attend with your newborn. The resources provided are helpful for continuing your baby’s care at home.

During an appointment, your baby’s care team will:

  • Check your child’s overall health.
  • Answer any questions you may have about your child’s behavior, development, and health.
  • Share other resources to help your child’s development, if needed.
  • Review results and recommendations to help you best support your child’s development at home.

Our expert care team will help you to set up your child’s first appointment before you take your baby home. Your child’s first visit to the Baby Steps clinic should be within 2 to 3 months of discharge from the NICU. Based on your child’s needs and progress, you can expect a visit every 3 to 4 months until one year of age.
