Well Child Visits
Well child visits are very important to monitor the growth and development of your child as well as monitor for anemia, diabetes, scoliosis etc. During these appointments, we will discuss issues such as nutrition, sleep, safety and behavior. Even if your child isn't due for vaccines, it is imperative that they don't miss these vital appointments.
We recommend scheduling your well child visits 2-3 months in advance. For newborns, the first three appointments are of the utmost importance, so you will need to make these appointments as soon as possible.
Well child visits are scheduled as follows:
- 3 - 10 days of age
- 1 month
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 9 months
- 12 months
- 15 months
- 18 months
- 24 months
- 30 months
- Each year thereafter
We do require you to keep these appointments to ensure the healthy development of your child.
