After the birth
Newborn paperwork checklist.
The forms and calls to make once your baby is here: the birth certificate, a Social Security number, the health plan, work, and the first pediatrician visit.
This is a list for getting ready, not medical or safety advice. For anything about your baby’s health or safety, ask your pediatrician.
