She also completes a comprehensive physical exam by evaluating their eyes, ears, breathing, heartbeat, and more. Dr. Rodriguez discusses your baby’s development, growth, eating, sleeping, and activity patterns. She offers advice if your baby struggles in any of these areas or if you suffer from postpartum depression or other mental health challenges.
