Your New
Baby

Dear New Parent,

Congratulations on your new baby!

Here are some tips to keep your baby and your family safe and healthy — and some ways the Health Department and others can help.

Every baby born in New York City should get the healthiest possible start — nothing is more important! For more information on any of these subjects, talk to your health-care provider, see More Information, or call Women's Healthline at 311.

Sincerely,

Thomas Frieden

Thomas R. Frieden, M.D., M.P. H., Commissioner
New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
