Pediatric Care

Some Sprout families start with us, some join us later. We love helping littles grow big, from their first onesie to their last cap and gown. We can act as your child's primary care physician, keeping them up-to-date on all checkups, screens and vaccinations.

Home Visits

Midwifery/Newborn care includes a home visit with one of our midwives 24 hours after you are discharged from the birth center. A second midwifery home visit provides additional help with breastfeeding and adjusting to life with a new baby without the need to leave your house.

Office Visits

Midwifery/Newborn care includes office visits with the midwives for the first two weeks after delivery, then graduation to pediatric care with our naturopathic doctors. Babies who did not receive care under our midwives can schedule directly with their chosen naturopathic doctor for their initial visit after delivery.

Well Child Visits

Periodic “well-child” visits are recommended for your child. These visits are important to make sure your child is growing and developing normally. A naturopathic pediatric visit includes not only the normal growth and development checks, but a in-depth discussion of each stage of your child’s life. Well-child visits are scheduled with ample time for you to ask questions.

Well Child Visits Should Be At...

1 Month | 2 Months | 4 Months |

6 Months | 9 Months |12 Months |

18 Months | 2 Years | Yearly

Pediatric Vaccinations

Sprout recognizes that your decision to vaccinate your child is personal and emotionally-charged. Our health care providers will empower you to make the best choices for your family, providing both empathy and education. We are also proud participants in the Vaccines for Children program (link), instituted by the Department of Health, to make sure all children have access to lifesaving vaccines, regardless of the ability to pay.

Problem Visits

Common childhood complaints like ear infections, diarrhea, and respiratory infections can often be treated just by supporting your child’s immune system. Short, problem-based visits can provide you peace of mind that there is nothing serious going on, treatment when there is cause for concern, and will always provide you tools to help support your child during these illnesses. We work with Seattle Children’s Hospital for more serious illnesses that require additional experts.

Examples

Pediatric FAQs

Vaccination is the ultimate in preventative medicine. However, some children have reactions to ingredients in the vaccines, and some families are concerned about the standard vaccine schedule. Our pediatric naturopaths will discuss your concerns and you can choose the decision that is right for your family - whether it is to use the standard schedule, a delayed or alternative schedule, or to decline vaccines entirely.

Our pediatric naturopaths are quite popular and well-child visits often have a several month wait time. If your child is ill, you can’t wait that long. You can call and be seen by one of our other naturopathic doctors if they have opening, and sometimes we will refer you to a pediatric urgent care clinic to follow up with us afterwards. If you suspect a contagious illness, please tell us and we may schedule you for Telehealth.
