Delivery Through Baby’s Early Life

The physicians will provide special care for your baby after delivery and do additional tests to learn more about the heart condition so they can make a plan of care with the best outcomes.

The First Few Days After Birth

It is common for CHD parents to feel a lot of emotions when they cannot connect with their baby because machines are in the way, but it can help if you understand what the care team is doing to support your baby’s health.

Taking Your Baby Home Before Surgery

The medical team at the hospital will teach you a lot about how to care for your baby, but it is common to forget things and need additional support when you get home.
