Baby Steps

At Baby Steps in Medford, MA, part of the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center, we are dedicated to supporting the health and development of former premature infants and term infants with complex newborn journeys. Our compassionate team, which includes a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, skilled occupational therapists, and experienced dietitians, works collaboratively to provide comprehensive developmental evaluations and nutritional assessments tailored to each child’s unique needs. With a focus on fostering growth and well-being, we offer valuable recommendations for developmental services like Early Intervention and customized nutritional guidance. For families facing challenges with feeding and weight gain, our dietitian provides in-home visits to create effective feeding plans and supports. We prioritize connecting families with essential community resources through our family outreach advocate, ensuring ongoing support throughout the journey. Our commitment extends beyond the initial evaluation, as we schedule follow-up appointments as needed to ensure every child and family receives the attentive care they deserve.
