Doctor appointment schedule

ChristyML · July 2013

How often does your LO's doctor schedule check ups?

Ours were at 2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and then 12 months. I don't know what it will be after a year, but I'm assuming 18 months and then at 24 months.

For DS it was or will be: 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 18 months, 2 years. Then once a year after that.

This. Even though we just have a regular family doc (there are no Pedi's in our area) and they don't usually do 9 month but I will be taking him in for measurements, etc.

The exact schedule that your doctor puts you on is determined partly but "must have" visits (for shots and such) and partly by any concerns (such as weight gain, length, skills, overall progress).

This time around, with a family doctor (and us in Canada), he was jaundiced, so we were back at the hospital daily until 4 days. Then to family doc at 2 weeks, 1 month, 2m, 3 m (weight gain concerns), 4m, 5m (weight gain), 6m. We will have a weight check at 9m then regular 1 yr appointment with shots.
