Your baby should have its first doctor visit between 3 and 5 days old. It is best to try and plan this visit for times of the day that are the least busy, but be prepared to wait, as setbacks can happen.   Much of what happens at the first visit will be to check your baby for weight, size, and any problems that may have happened during the birthing process. The doctor will also check on any other health aspects that may need to be addressed.   This is also a time for you to ask questions and seek advice about your newborn and what you need to be doing. You can talk over many of the questions you have about being a parent.   Suburban Healthcare Associates has pediatric care available at our locations.
