Is your child up to date on well checks? You know your child should be seen when they are ill, but it’s also important to schedule well-child exams regularly as these examinations provide the best opportunity for Premier Pediatrics to observe the child, detect problems through screening tests, provide immunizations, and get to know one another. They are also a good time for parents to raise questions and concerns about development, behavior, nutrition, safety, and overall wellbeing. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends this schedule for routine visits: 3-5 days, 2 weeks, 2,4,6,9,12,15,18,24 and 30 months, 3 years, and once every year thereafter for a visit that includes a physical exam as well as a developmental, behavioral, and learning assessment.
