Having a baby is one of the most rewarding and exciting times of your life. Orange County Children’s Medical Group is dedicated to helping you care for your child – keeping your baby happy and healthy.
Prenatal Visits
We encourage new parents to schedule a prenatal visit. This visit allows expectant parents to become acquainted with us, tour our office, and ask questions regarding the birth of your baby. We offer individual daytime visits with any of our pediatricians.
Please call us at (949) 600-8100 to schedule an appointment.
Feeding Your Baby
We strongly encourage all mothers to try breast feeding their babies. Breast feeding is the healthiest nutrition for babies. More information about breastfeeding can be found at our Health Information page.
Circumcision
If you wish to have your baby boy circumcised, this will be done by one of our pediatricians before your baby leaves the hospital. There is no clear medical need to circumcise your baby. It is, however, routinely done by most parents. We would be happy to discuss this further with you at any time.
Affiliated Hospitals
Our pediatricians care for babies born at:
- CHOC Children’s at Mission
- Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center
- Saddleback Memorial Hospital
Babies born at other area hospitals are welcome to come to our office after birth. We would be happy to recommend a pediatrician to care for your baby while at another hospital.
You do not need to “register” with our office before your baby delivers. If you would like one of our physicians to be your baby’s doctor, simply tell the hospital staff this when you arrive at the hospital to give birth. The hospital will notify our office when your baby is born. One of our pediatricians will be in to see you and your baby when they do hospital “rounds” in the morning.
