Abstract:
Pediatric trauma-informed care typically begins after toxic stress has been identified. Yet, trauma and the opportunity to prevent adverse impacts begin in utero. This article offers practical guidance for incorporating trauma-informed approaches to pediatric encounters during the newborn period. By focusing on building safety, trust, and parental self-efficacy from the first encounter, pediatricians have the opportunity to strengthen the caregiver-infant relationship, the primary buffer against toxic stress, and improve long-term health outcomes.
