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
