Baby Steps

Baby Steps is a compassionate clinic nestled within the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics at Boston Medical Center in Watertown, MA, dedicated to nurturing the growth and well-being of former premature infants and those with complex newborn journeys. Our multidisciplinary team, comprising a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, occupational therapists, and experienced dietitians, works collaboratively to deliver essential developmental evaluations and nutritional assessments tailored to each child's unique needs. We pride ourselves on our family-centered approach, offering ongoing support through a family outreach advocate who connects families with vital community resources. Our services include thorough developmental evaluations and nutritional guidance, along with targeted recommendations for Early Intervention and medical management. For infants facing dietary challenges or issues with weight gain, our dietitian provides personalized home visits to help parents implement effective feeding plans. We also offer specialized feeding assessments for babies experiencing specific feeding difficulties. Follow-up evaluations are scheduled as required to ensure every child receives the attentive care they deserve on their journey toward thriving.
