Getting Checkups
Checkups allow your doctor to review your child's growth and development, perform tests, or give shots. To help your doctor get a full picture of your child's health, bring this booklet with you to each visit and keep the forms in the Keeping Track of Your Child's Health section up to date.
Checkups also are a good time for parents to ask questions. Make a list of your questions and concerns and bring it with you. The doctor will have answers to many questions about your child, such as whether your child is eating too much or too little, whether he or she seems uncoordinated, or what to do if your child isn't sleeping well.
Some authorities recommend checkups at ages 2-4 weeks; 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months; and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 years.
Some children may need to be seen more often, others less.
