When is my child due for his/her next check up?

We encourage parents to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for well child checkups which are as follows:

• First year- hospital follow up visit (usually within the first week of life, as recommended by Pediatrician), 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months and 1 year.
• Second year- Visits at 12, 15 and 18 months of age, or more often if recommended by your pediatrician.
• Preschool/School aged children- schedule visits annually.

Note that most insurance requires 365 days to pass between check up visits. An exception is Alabama Medicaid which allows (and requires) 1 check up every calendar year.

For children with chronic medical problems (for example: asthma, eczema, seizures, ADD/ADHD) or on chronic medications you will be seen more frequently for follow up. Asthma and ADD/ADHD patients are followed every 6 months.
