My First Baby is led by Karen McDonald, MSN, APRN, FNP-C-- a Family Nurse Practitioner, former NICU nurse, and American Heart Association CPR instructor with over 30 years of nursing experience, including more than two decades in high-risk neonatal care.

​

During her years in neonatal care, Karen saw firsthand how overwhelming the transition home with a newborn can be for many families.  My First Baby was created to provide trusted guidance, newborn safety education, and practical support during those important first weeks at home.

​

Our mission is simple: to help families feel confident, prepared, and supported as they transition into parenthood.
