Regular health check-ups are vital for children to track their growth, detect issues early, and ensure proper care. Recommended check-ups vary with age:
Newborns: Regular check-ups ensure healthy growth, screen for abnormalities, and provide vaccinations.
Infants: Scheduled at 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months to monitor growth, milestones, and vision/hearing.
Toddlers: Check-ups at 2, 3, and 4 years focus on growth, cognitive development, and vaccinations.
School-age: Annual check-ups assess growth, behavior, and cognitive development.
During these visits, healthcare providers conduct exams and tests like physicals, vision, and blood tests. Parents can address concerns about their child's health or behavior. Regular check-ups are crucial for children's well-being and should be part of their routine care.
