👶 Newborn Examination and Follow-up in Izmir
The first days after birth are the most critical period for your baby to take the first step toward a healthy future. In Izmir, our specialist doctors meticulously carry out newborn examinations and follow-ups. From your baby’s first health checks to growth and development monitoring, we are by your side every step of the way.
📏 Growth Measurements: Height, weight, and head circumference are regularly measured, and growth curves are tracked.
🌞 Jaundice Check: Common in newborns, jaundice is monitored with early diagnosis and proper methods.
🍼 Feeding and Breastfeeding Consultation: Breast milk intake, breastfeeding techniques, and feeding routines are assessed.
😴 Sleep Pattern Analysis: The baby’s sleep duration and quality are monitored to establish healthy habits.

At our clinic in Izmir, families are provided with detailed information during the newborn examination, and every step of baby care is explained in detail. This ensures that possible health issues are detected early and that your baby’s healthy growth is secured.
👶 Healthy Child Follow-up (0–18 Years)
Every child is unique, and their developmental processes may progress differently. Regular medical check-ups are crucial for monitoring growth and developmental delays, nutritional issues, and the immune system. Here’s what we do in healthy child follow-ups:
📏 Growth and Development Monitoring: We regularly track your child’s growth using height, weight, head circumference, all anthropometric measurements, bone age determination, as well as biochemical and hormonal tests. If there is a developmental delay, we plan treatment early. In essence, we closely monitor your child’s physical development according to their age and gender by performing anthropometric measurements along with bone age determination and laboratory evaluations. For children with growth retardation, we identify the cause and determine treatment needs early, ensuring your child’s normal physical development.
🧠 Mental and Motor Development: We examine your child’s physical and cognitive development according to their age.
🥦 Nutrition Counseling: We provide recommendations to help children develop healthy eating habits.
🛡️ Immune System Monitoring: For children who get sick frequently, we identify and treat any immune system problems. In addition, we offer advice—especially regarding nutrition—to help strengthen children’s immunity.
🌞 Newborn Jaundice Monitoring and Treatment
In newborns, jaundice that appears within the first weeks after birth is caused by an increase in bilirubin levels in the blood. While it often resolves on its own, in some cases treatment may be necessary. We monitor bilirubin levels with blood tests when needed, and apply phototherapy if required.
During the newborn jaundice process:
🔬 Bilirubin Monitoring: We check bilirubin levels with a blood test when necessary.
💡 Phototherapy (Light Treatment): Safely applied in cases of high bilirubin levels.
💡 Prolonged Jaundice: Determining the underlying cause and planning treatment if needed.
🍼 Breastfeeding Support: Breast milk plays a critical role in resolving jaundice. We provide support with proper breastfeeding techniques.
🤱 Breastfeeding Education and Counseling
We are fully aware of the importance of breastfeeding. We support mothers with correct breastfeeding techniques, methods to increase milk production, and the prevention of nipple wounds. Breast milk is the most valuable source of nutrition for babies; however, the breastfeeding process is not always easy. Let’s overcome the most common challenges mothers face—together:
👶 Correct Breastfeeding Techniques: We ensure your baby latches in the proper position.
❌ Preventing Nipple Wounds: We help avoid pain and wounds caused by improper latching.
🍼 Increasing Milk Production: We provide information about foods and methods that boost milk supply.
💛 Mother–Baby Bond: We focus on the emotional aspect of breastfeeding to strengthen the mother–baby connection.
🥣 Complementary Feeding and Infant Nutrition
When your baby reaches 6 months of age, the transition to complementary foods begins. However, having accurate information about which foods to introduce, when, and how is very important. From 6 months onwards, we assess allergy risks and prepare healthy, balanced nutrition plans during the complementary feeding process.
🍎 First Complementary Foods: We create personalized schedules according to each baby’s needs and closely monitor their progress to support optimal cognitive and physical development.
🚫 Allergy Risks: In suspected food allergy cases, we identify and treat the allergenic food through skin prick tests and specific IgE blood tests.
🔄 Healthy Eating Habits: We provide suggestions to prevent issues such as picky eating and loss of appetite.
💧 Water Intake: We inform parents about the importance of water consumption during the complementary feeding period.
💉 Izmir Vaccination Schedule and Applications
Vaccines are the most effective way to protect children from serious diseases! At our clinic, we safely administer all vaccines in accordance with the vaccination schedule:
🦠 Routine Vaccines: BCG (Tuberculosis), Hepatitis B, MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella), Diphtheria-Pertussis-Tetanus, and more!
💊 Additional Vaccines: We create application schedules for important additional vaccines such as the Rotavirus (diarrhea) vaccine, Meningitis vaccine, Influenza (Flu) vaccine, and HPV vaccine, which protects against cervical and other reproductive organ cancers. We administer all necessary vaccines at our clinic according to the age and health needs of children and adolescents.
📅 Vaccination Schedule: We prepare a personalized calendar to ensure all vaccines are administered on time.
🌡️ Monitoring Post-Vaccination Reactions
We clearly inform families about normal reactions that may occur after vaccination, such as mild fever or redness, as well as situations that require seeing a doctor. Fever in children is the body’s natural response to infections. However, high fever can sometimes be a sign of serious illness.
🌡️ Safe Fever-Reducing Methods: We recommend lukewarm baths, increased fluid intake, and provide necessary medication support.
🚨 When to See a Doctor: We help you assess the severity of the fever and identify urgent situations.
🦠 Detection of Infections: We determine the source of the fever and apply the correct treatment method.
🌡️ Evaluation of Children with Fever
We quickly identify conditions that may cause high fever. By preventing unnecessary antibiotic use, we create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your child.
Cough Diagnosis and Treatment in Children
We identify the cause of the cough and plan the most appropriate treatment methods. By avoiding unnecessary medication use, we help your child recover and feel comfortable quickly.
Growth and Development Delays
We identify children at risk of growth retardation or developmental delay at an early stage. We regularly monitor their physical, mental, and social development.
Iron Deficiency and Anemia Monitoring in Children
We monitor signs of anemia and share diagnosis and treatment processes with parents, planning proper nutrition and necessary supplements.
Asthma and Allergic Bronchitis Management in Children
We manage asthma and allergic bronchitis through protection from triggers, medication treatment, and a regular follow-up plan.

In İzmir, we guide families through the transition to complementary feeding for infants, advising on which foods to introduce and when, potential allergy risks, and proper nutrition plans.

🤧 Food Allergies: We identify the most common allergens and create specialized nutrition plans.
🌿 Respiratory Allergies: We offer guidance on managing triggers such as pollen, dust, and pets.
🧴 Eczema and Skin Allergies: We provide tailored care recommendations for allergies causing skin redness and itching.
