Well checkups
Your child will need wellness checkups at ages 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months, 18 months, 2 years, 2 1/2 years, 3 years, 4 years and 5 years.
During these checkups, your health care provider will assess your child's physical and emotional development, give guidance and immunizations (shots), and do any needed tests.
This is also a great time to talk with your health care provider about concerns or questions you have about your child's development (physical, mental or social).
If your child does not reach a certain milestone for their age, don't worry. Your health care provider can help you recognize signs if you think your child may have a developmental delay.
If you have a concern or question in between well checkups, please call your clinic. For an emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest hospital.
Well checkup at 3 to 7 days
Your health care provider will examine your baby for a weight and color check.
The health care provider who cares for your baby in the hospital after birth and who discharges your baby from the hospital will tell you when this office visit is needed.
It is recommended all babies who are first born, breastfeeding, or who are at an increased risk for jaundice be seen at 3 to 7 days of life.
