Keeping children safe and healthy is one of the most important tasks of any parent. And one of the best ways to do this is to commit your children to regular pediatrician wellness checkups. Regular visits to the pediatrician will ensure your children grow and develop as they should.
Why are Regular Pediatric Wellness Checkups Important?
Seeing the pediatrician regularly is important for monitoring the growth and development of your children. Regular appointments also offer parents a chance to ask questions and report on activity. This review and feedback can help the doctor discover and treat potential issues early. And as a bonus, scheduling visits with the pediatrician often helps parents, children and doctors develop strong bonds and mutual goals in helping the children grow and mature.
What are the Suggested Pediatric Checkup Intervals?
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers a recommended schedule for children to see their pediatrician. This includes appointments at 2-5 days old, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, and 2.5 years old, then every year after that until age 21. The schedule is designed to ensure that your child meets their growth and developmental milestones on track. Get more information in our list of Recommended Resources.
