The Welcome Baby program provides a one-time home visit by a Registered Nurse for you and your newborn after you are discharged from the hospital. The Welcome Baby nurse will:

• Perform a thorough assessment of your new baby, as well as a limited assessment of Mom.
• Discuss infant care, sleep & feeding.
• Answer any questions you may have in the first few weeks with a newborn.
• Discuss postpartum and family planning options.
• Refer parents to resources for assistance.

Parents or mothers-to-be may sign up at any time during their pregnancy or before your baby reaches eight (8) weeks of age. For more information contact the Harnett County Health Department at 910-893-7550.
