Baby Steps

Baby Steps, located in Natick, MA, is a compassionate clinic within the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center, dedicated to supporting former premature infants and term infants who have faced complex newborn challenges. Our skilled team includes a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, occupational therapists, and two caring dietitians who work together to provide comprehensive developmental evaluations and nutritional assessments tailored to each child's unique needs. We focus on offering personalized evaluations and important recommendations for developmental services such as Early Intervention, alongside nutritional guidance and medical management. For infants struggling with diet or weight gain, our dietitian conducts home visits to observe feeding practices and develop tailored feeding plans. We also provide specialized feeding assessments for infants with specific feeding difficulties. Following the initial evaluation, we ensure ongoing follow-up to adapt to the changing needs of your child and family, emphasizing our commitment to connecting families with community-based services and resources.
