Welcome to Baby Advocate

The Baby Advocate program is an online immunization resource for parents. All parents will receive the Baby Advocate program information and a baby shot immunization record upon discharge from an Advocate hospital. Also, parents may periodically receive additional information about their baby's immunization requirements until their little one is 15-months-old.

How Baby Advocate Can Help
Baby Advocate provides:

• "Baby shot" Information, vaccination record and schedule
• Guidelines and FAQ's for Parents
• Growth and Development Milestones - learn more about how your baby grows
• Classes - classes about babies and being a parent led by specialized educators
• Healthy Steps Program - an initiative to foster healthy growth and development

Keeping Your Baby Healthy
There are three things you can do to help your baby grow up healthy and strong:

• Make sure your baby gets his or her "baby shots" on time to protect him or her from serious diseases.
• Make sure your baby has routine check-ups at your doctor's office. Seeing a doctor before your child feels sick can often prevent problems from occurring and treat those that occur in the early stages.
• Learn about how babies grow and develop. Parents who know about how their baby is growing and developing can get help, if needed, before a problem gets too big.

Finding a Doctor for Your Baby
You should have a doctor for your baby. We can help you find a pediatrician or family practice doctor. You can find a doctor online or call HealthAdvisor at 1.800.3.ADVOCATE (1-800-323-8622).
