- Abstract
Culturally informed health interventions for linguistic minorities are crucial in promoting optimal child development. Mi Bebe y Yo is a primary care group for Spanish-speaking, Latina/o caregivers and their babies during their first year. Group visits occur in conjunction with well-baby checks and are designed to support families with a culturally congruent peer group and a safe environment to explore parenting practices. Groups incorporate Latino cultural constructs (personalismo, familismo, and respeto) to provide anticipatory guidance and promote adherence to well-baby care. This article offers perspectives from pediatric health professionals and highlights lessons learned and recommendations for clinical practice, training, and policy.
