Your child's body goes through tremendous changes from birth to early adulthood, so it is important that he/she be evaluated by a pediatrician on a regular basis. These evaluations will include a complete physical exam that will assess your child's growth and development.
The following is our recommendation for when your child should come in for a check up:
- 3-4 days
- 2 weeks
- 1 month
