Preventive Care

As a new parent, you may be tempted to push aside your own care. However, preventive care, like physical exams, screenings, and vaccines, are equally important for you and your baby. Don’t skip your postpartum appointment. At this appointment, your doctor can make sure you’re doing well physically, mentally, and emotionally. CDPHP members receive many preventive services at no cost when provided by an in-network doctor.

• Keep tabs on your preventive care with the CDPHP guidelines for care.

• If you need extra guidance, call 1-888-942-3747, and you'll be referred to a member of the CDPHP Care Team, comprised of nurses, dietitians, and care coordinators.

Breastfeeding

Breastmilk is the perfect food for your baby and contains just the right amount of nutrients. Check out the Breastfeeding Support Guide for information about breast pumps, classes, and assistance.**

Start Your Baby on a Healthy Path

Once your baby is born, he or she will need important assessments including hearing tests, lead screening, testing for developmental delays, and more. Talk to your baby’s doctor about the timing of these important tests.

TIP! Use our helpful guide to understand when to take care of your child’s checkups, vaccines, and screenings.
