Birth to 2 years is a seemingly magical time. Infants change more during their first year of development than at any other point in their lives.

This period of time is important to your child. Establishing a consistent routine, reading and talking to your baby, touching, holding, and having your infant participate in well-baby visits with your healthcare provider, are critical to his or her long-term development.

The following web resources will provide you with a wealth of information about infants from birth-2 years. Always consult your baby's physician or healthcare provider when you have questions about his or her health and well-being. The Evergreen Children's Clinic phone number is 253-848-2303. After hours, visit Pediatrics PM or contact us through our answering service. They will help locate one of our on-call Pediatricians.
