Well-child visits are an important part of the growth and development of your child, starting from birth. Your child’s pediatrician will let you know the frequency of their visits, but well visits are intended to check in with your child. Your pediatrician will check on your child’s height, weight, and other vital stats, as well as ask questions about their eating and sleeping schedules. This is the doctor’s opportunity to make sure your child is growing and developing as they should, according to the important milestones. During the well-child visits, your doctor will perform any preventative screening to test for developmental delays or early signs of medical conditions that require monitoring or treatment. Vaccinations can also be administered during a well-child visit if your child has any vaccines due at that time. Well-child visits are important for the parent as well, as this is your opportunity to ask the pediatrician any questions you have about your child’s health. You can discuss any concerns you have, any milestones you should be watching for, age-appropriate activities and games you can do to help your child’s development, and any other information you want to know about.
