The Best Foundation: Care Before Birth

At Sunshine Kids Pediatrics in Torrance, California, we believe that the journey to a healthy child truly begins even before birth. We understand that preparing for a new baby brings a mix of excitement and questions. That's why our compassionate providers offer comprehensive prenatal counseling for expectant parents.

These pre-delivery consultations are a wonderful opportunity to:

• Meet Our Team: Get acquainted with our pediatricians and staff, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident in your choice of care for your future child.

• Discuss Your Birth Plan & Hopes: We're here to answer your questions about what to expect after delivery, hospital procedures, and our role in your baby's first days.

• Understand Newborn Care Basics: Learn about essential topics like feeding (breastfeeding support, formula feeding), diaper changes, safe sleep practices, and recognizing common newborn cues.

• Address Your Concerns: No question is too small. We're here to ease any anxieties you may have about bringing your new baby home.

Additionally, for families who may be in at-risk groups, we extend genetic counseling services. This specialized support helps expectant parents understand potential genetic risks, interpret genetic test results, and make informed decisions about their family's health.

• Conduct Thorough Physical Examinations: Our pediatricians perform comprehensive head-to-toe exams to check for any health concerns, ensuring all systems are functioning properly.

• Provide Essential Immunizations: We follow recommended vaccination schedules to protect your child from serious preventable diseases, discussing each vaccine and answering any questions you may have.

• Offer Nutritional Guidance: Whether you're breastfeeding, formula feeding, or transitioning to solids, we provide expert advice tailored to your child's age and needs.

• Address Behavioral & Sleep Concerns: We offer practical strategies and support for common challenges like sleep patterns, fussiness, and early behavioral development.

• Offer Anticipatory Guidance: We proactively discuss upcoming developmental stages and provide advice on safety, nutrition, behavior, and social development, preparing you for what to expect as your child grows.
