The Importance of Newborn Doctor Visits

Having a baby will begin a new chapter of your life. For newfound parents, bringing a newborn into the world is both exciting and overwhelming. On account of your newborn being so fragile, you need to be sure that they receive consistent and comprehensive medical care from a pediatric doctor. AGC Pediatrics in North Georgia shows you the importance of managing your newborn’s health with regular doctor visits.

Newborn doctor visits begin within 24 hours after birth and continue through months 1-24. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises the first visit to occur 3-5 days after birth and then consecutively on months 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 24. This will ensure preventative health procedures are taken and developmental concerns are supervised. 

Why Are So Many Newborn Doctor Visits Necessary?

Pediatric visits for newborns primarily concern of supervising the natural progression of your child and providing preventative care for your infant. Each wellness visit will specifically monitor a different aspect of newborn growth.

Scheduled immunizations are given to your newborn for preemptive measures. It is recommended that they receive other preventative immunizations including a hepatitis B and tuberculosis shot.

By supervising growth, Pediatricians are able to watch the development of your child’s body. For example, at 15 months, one of the typical screenings for infants is an autism spectrum disorder test. A more standard test for developmental growth is for hearing and vision.
