The Very Best in Child Care
Well visits will be very frequent in the beginning and get less frequent as your baby gets older. Visits with the pediatrician are recommended at the following ages:
+ Prenatal visit to meet your new pediatrician before the baby is born (for new parents)
+ During the hospital stay our newborn care begins (our pediatricians will visit your baby and you daily in the hospital if you have delivered at Medical City Dallas, Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, Presbyterian Hospital of Plano, or Baylor Frisco)
+ An early follow up is recommended within 2-3 days after you leave the hospital with your baby to check the baby’s weight and check for jaundice.
The next well visits are at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months. From 3 years of age, well visits should be scheduled annually until age 18 years.
Well visits are very important to your child’s well being. They give you the opportunity of getting to know your child’s pediatrician and for the doctor to get to know you and your child and assess her growth, development, and general health. Your child’s development will be assessed at each well visit in the first 5 years of life.
When children are ill, it is much harder to assess their developmental and social skills. They usually do not want to show off their new walking skills nor do they relate as well to the doctor as they do when they are feeling well. That is why a sick appointment for an ear infection is not a replacement for a well visit.
