Follow Along Program
Babies and young children grow and learn at their own pace. That said, some children need special help to grow up healthy and learn basic skills such as sitting, walking or talking. Let the follow along program help you know if your child (birth -3) is playing, talking, growing, moving, and acting like other children the same age.
Home Visits
New mom/baby home visits are offered to all Isanti County residents who recently had a baby, regardless of insurance. These visits are especially recommended for first time mothers, and usually take place within the first few days of discharge from the hospital. A new mom/baby home visit entails a one-on-one visit with a Public Health Nurse. During a visit the Public Health Nurse will take a health history on the baby including checking the baby’s weight, listen to their heart and lungs, and ask questions about the babies eating and sleeping habits. She will also take a health history on the mom and answer any questions or concerns she may have about herself and new little one. The visits usually last about 1 hour and a copy of the visit notes will be sent to both the mother’s and baby’s doctor, so they will know how each is doing before they come in for their first check-up.
