What is the schedule for well-visits (check-ups)?
We schedule well-child care according to the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. We recommend visits at 1-2 weeks, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months, 2 years and 3 years; then once a year, generally near the child’s birthday. Sometimes a doctor will change these recommendations a bit depending on the child’s condition.
