Home Visiting Program:
In the first months of baby's life it's challenging for parents to meet baby's 24 hour a day needs and their own. Life is hectic. We understand that getting out of the house with or without baby at this stage is daunting; therefore Fussy Baby infant specialists make life easier for parents. We come to you. When we meet with you in your home we will explore your concerns and offer support and information. We will talk together about your baby's day, think about strategies to soothe and calm your baby, and explore ways that you can enjoy your baby and take better care of your own needs. Services are provided on a sliding fee scale and no family will be turned away for financial reasons.
Fussy Baby Clinic at the University of Chicago:
"Is my baby really ok?"parents of fussy babies may worry. We provide an opportunity for parents to share their concerns about baby's health and physical development with a specially trained behavioral and developmental pediatrician. Our consulting pediatrician is available to examine your baby and discuss your baby's health, development, temperament and unique patterns of behavior. The Fussy Baby Clinic is held regularly at the University of Chicago Children's Hospital for families who are receiving Fussy Baby services. All major insurance carriers are accepted, including Medicaid--please check with your provider.
Fussy Baby Caring Parents Groups:
Parents have needs too. It's good to get dressed, get out of the house and meet other parents to socialize, to laugh, to learn. Our groups are led by an infant specialist who will create a warm, relaxed atmosphere in which to unwind as you learn more about topics of special interest such as helping a fussy baby sleep, life after colic, infant massage. Groups are formed on an as-needed basis.
