How often should I schedule pediatric visits for my child?
Top Replies
Hi PediatricPartner, I'm happy to help! Well-child visits are typically recommended at the following intervals: 3-5 days after birth, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, 2.5 years, 3 years, and annually thereafter. These visits are important for monitoring your child's growth and development, as well as providing vaccinations and addressing any concerns you may have.
It's also worth noting that some pediatricians may recommend more frequent visits for high-risk infants, such as those born prematurely or with low birth weight. And if your child has any chronic medical conditions, they may need to be seen more often as well. It's always best to follow your pediatrician's advice regarding the frequency of well-child visits.
I know it can be overwhelming to keep track of all these appointments, but remember that they are an important part of ensuring your child's health and well-being. Don't hesitate to reach out to your pediatrician with any questions or concerns you may have. And in the meantime, check out some of our resources on pediatric health and wellness to learn more.
