Why Regular Checkups Matter
Pediatric checkups allow doctors to monitor growth, detect developmental delays early, and keep vaccinations up to date.
Checkup Schedule by Age
Newborn to 1 Year
Checkups at 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. Vaccines are given at most of these visits.
Age 1 to 3 Years
Checkups at 15 months, 18 months, 24 months, and 30 months. This period is critical for language and motor development monitoring.
Age 3 to 6 Years
Annual checkups. Vision and hearing tests begin at age 3. School readiness is assessed at age 5.
Age 6 to 12 Years
Annual checkups focusing on school performance, mental health, BMI monitoring, and puberty preparation.
What Happens at a Checkup
Weight, height, and head circumference measurement, developmental milestone assessment, vision and hearing screening, vaccination updates, and parent education.
When to See a Doctor Between Checkups
High fever above 39C, difficulty breathing, severe vomiting or diarrhea, unusual rash, or behavioral changes warrant immediate attention.
