Well-Care Visits
In addition to taking your child to the pediatrician when your child is sick, or needs an examination to participate in a particular activity, routine well-care visits are recommended.
Well-care, well-baby, or well-child visits are routine visits to the child's pediatrician for:
- Physical examinations
- Immunization updates
- Tracking growth and development
- Finding any problems before they become serious
- Information on health and safety issues
- Information on nutrition and physical fitness
- Information on how to manage emergencies and illnesses
