Well Visits
Regular checkups are an important part of your child’s development from birth to age 21.
We want to make sure you are organized and ready for your child’s well visit. At each visit, we will review your baby’s feeding, sleeping, elimination and development. We will also teach you about developmental milestones you can look forward to in the coming month. If this is your child’s first visit, please take a moment to read Preparing For Your Child’s First Well Visit.
