What to Expect at Your Well-Child Checks
Well-child checks are yearly physical exams for children. Depending on their age and health, some children may need more than one well-child check each year. From ages three to 21, your child should have one well-child check every year.
Providers recommend that your child under three has a well-child check at these ages:
- 3 to 5 days
- 2 weeks to 1 month
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
- 9 months
- 12 months
- 15 months
- 18 months
- 2 years
- 30 months
During the appointment, your child’s provider will check things like their heart rate, breathing and growth to make sure their body is healthy and developing as it should. They will also check your child’s mental and emotional wellness by having them answer questions and talking to you about how they have been feeling and behaving.
If it is your first visit, the provider will ask about your child’s health history and their family health history.
Be prepared to talk with your provider about your child’s health, including:
- Growth, development and milestones
- Behavior, sleep and emotions
- Nutrition and physical activity
- Vaccines, safety and preventative care
If you have any concerns about your child, be sure to bring them up with their provider.
