In today's world, it's essential than ever to make sure your child regularly visits the doctor – not just when they are sick, but also when they are well. Well-child visits allow your pediatrician to examine your child holistically, assess their physical and emotional needs, support their growth and development, and intervene quickly if any issues arise.
⠀
❔What to expect at a well-child visit
During a wellness visit, your child's pediatrician will:
▫️Determine if your child is meeting growth and developmental milestones for their age.
▫️Ask about sudden changes in your child's usual activities, mood and overall health.
▫️Provide immunizations for childhood diseases and common conditions that affect children.
▫️Observe child posture and bone development.
▫️Get to know your child: their diet, sleeping patterns, nutrition, social interactions, behavior, and stress levels.
▫️Help your child establish healthy habits and provide tips for families to reinforce these at home.
▫️Check-in on how your family is doing and identify any supportive resources or advice related to navigating daily life.
⠀
Please make sure that you are scheduling well-being visits.
