Well Checkups
Well-baby visits are an important part of pediatric care. The examination will assess the infant or young child's growth and development, provide vaccinations, provide guidance for the parents, recognize problems early and supply appropriate intervention, and provide treatment for existing problems. The recommended schedule is:
- 1-3 days after discharge from the hospital
- Two weeks old

- Each year after that throughout childhood
