Meet Dr. Anwar Before Your Baby Arrives

You don't have to wait until delivery day to choose your pediatrician. We invite expectant parents to schedule a free prenatal meet-and-greet so you can ask questions, learn what to expect in your baby's first days, and feel confident walking out of the hospital knowing exactly who to call.

Dr. Anwar has cared for newborns and families in the DFW area for more than 20 years. He takes the time to get to know your family — not just your baby's chart.

No cost. No commitment. Just a conversation.

Your Baby's First Months of Care

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a specific schedule of well visits in your baby's first year. Here's what that looks like with Dr. Anwar.

1

3–5 Days After Hospital Discharge

Your baby's first visit checks weight, jaundice levels, feeding, and overall health. This is the most important early visit — we want to see your newborn within the first week home.

2

2-Week Visit

Weight check, feeding review, and newborn screening follow-up. We'll make sure your baby is back to birth weight and answer questions from your first two weeks at home.

3

1-Month Visit

Growth and development check. First opportunity to discuss sleep schedule, feeding changes, and any concerns you've had since coming home.

4

2 Months — First Vaccines

Your baby's first vaccines begin at 2 months. We'll walk you through what to expect, how to comfort your baby afterward, and what to watch for.

5

4, 6, 9 & 12 Months

Continued growth monitoring, developmental screenings, and vaccines on schedule through your baby's first birthday — and well beyond.

Common Newborn Concerns

Every parent wonders if what they're seeing is normal. Here are some of the most common concerns we help families navigate.

🟡

Newborn Jaundice

Yellowing of the skin and eyes is very common in the first week. We'll check your baby's bilirubin levels and guide you on when treatment is needed and when it resolves on its own.

🍼

Feeding Concerns

Whether you're breastfeeding or formula feeding, we help with latch difficulties, supplementation questions, feeding frequency, and making sure your baby is gaining weight appropriately.

⚖️

Weight & Growth

Most newborns lose up to 10% of their birth weight in the first week. We track your baby's growth closely to make sure they're back on track and thriving by their 2-week visit.

🌡️

Fever in Newborns

A fever in a baby under 2 months is always taken seriously. Call us immediately — or go to the ER — if your newborn has a rectal temperature of 100.4°F or higher.

💤

Safe Sleep

We follow the AAP's safe sleep guidelines: back to sleep, on a firm flat surface, no loose bedding. We'll discuss this at every early visit to help reduce SIDS risk.

🔬

Newborn Screening Follow-Up

All newborns receive state-mandated screening tests in the hospital. If any results need follow-up, we'll coordinate next steps and explain what they mean for your baby's health.

Vaccines & Developmental Monitoring

Vaccines — On Schedule & On Time

We follow the CDC and AAP immunization schedule. Vaccines are one of the most effective ways to protect your baby from serious illness during their most vulnerable months.

  • Hepatitis B begins at birth in the hospital
  • 2-month vaccines: DTaP, IPV, Hib, PCV, Rotavirus
  • We'll explain every vaccine before giving it
  • We answer questions about vaccine safety and timing
  • Vaccine records always available through MyChart

Developmental Milestones — Birth Through 18 Months

At every well visit, we screen your baby's development — motor skills, language, social interaction, and more. Early identification makes a real difference.

  • Social smiling by 6–8 weeks
  • Head control and tummy time progress at 2–4 months
  • Babbling, sitting, and object play by 6–9 months
  • First words and walking milestones at 9–18 months
  • Formal developmental screening tools at 9, 18 & 24 months

Personal Care — Not Just a Chart

At KAMD, your baby isn't shuffled between different providers. Dr. Anwar is the pediatrician who sees your child consistently, year after year — from the newborn visit through adolescence.

👶

Newborn Experience

More than 20 years caring for newborns and growing families in Arlington and Crowley. You'll work with a physician who has seen it all — and takes the time to explain everything.

🤝

Continuity of Care

Your child sees the same doctor at every visit. Dr. Anwar knows your child's history, your family's concerns, and your preferences — no starting over with a new face.

⚡

Same-Day Sick Visits

We reserve same-day appointments every day for sick children. When your baby has a fever, you shouldn't have to wait three days to be seen.

🌡️

Whole-Child Care

Primary care, developmental monitoring, behavioral support, and ADHD management — all in one practice. As your child grows, you won't need to find a new doctor for each new need.
